Introduction:
This English edition is Lin Yutang's favourite translation and fully demonstrates his learning and literary talent. The original in Chinese, written by Shen Fu (1763-?), a lover of literature of the Qing dynasty, gives a truthful account of his own love, marriage and family in a terse, vivid and moving style. Unfortunately only four of the Six Chapters have survived.
