6. 《離魂》(Lihun) has been translated into English by Eudora Yu as “Woman in the Mist.” I am quoting from Yu’s translation, but decided to render the title as “Departed Soul.”

Xu Xu 徐訏 (1908–80) was an influential Chinese writer who enjoyed tremendous popularity from the late 1930s through the 1960s. After graduating from Peking University, he moved to Shanghai in 1933 to begin his literary career. He left for Paris in 1936 to continue his studies but soon returned to China after the outbreak of war with Japan. He emigrated to Hong Kong in 1950, where he continued to publish copious amounts of fiction, poetry, and literary criticism. Xu Xu’s works were banned on the mainland from 1949 until the 1980s, but they are now widely read in China and are a frequent source of material for television and the stage. In Hong Kong, Xu Xu also edited several literary journals and taught Chinese literature at different colleges and universities, eventually chairing the Chinese Department at Hong Kong Baptist University until his death in 1980.
