Based on the orginal short story by Pai Hsien-Yung, Chin Zhao Li and Yue Ru were forced by their families to separate (details not clear). She became pregnant with Yue Ru's baby but lost the baby later. Yue Ru remained the most important love of her life which she could not forget. Chin Zhao Li later left Shanghai and went to Taiwan to become a dance hostess (it is not clear when she started to be called Madame Chin or Chin Taipan which is the head of the dance hostess). She later married a 60-year old Singaporean overseas Chinese.

[edit] Chronology
Pai studied in La Salle College, a Hong Kong Catholic boys high school, until he left for Taiwan with his family. In 1956, Pai enrolled at National Cheng Kung University as a hydraulic engineering major, because he wanted to participate in the Three Gorges Dam Project. The following year, he passed the entrance examination for the foreign literature department of National Taiwan University and transferred there to study English literature. In September 1958, after completing his freshman year of study, he published his first short story "Madame Ching" in the magazine Literature. Two years later, he collaborated with several NTU classmates — e.g., Chen Ruoxi, Wang Wenxing, Ouyang Tzu — to launch Modern Literature (Xiandai wenxue), in which many of his early works were published.

Pai went abroad in 1963 to study literary theory and creative writing at the University of Iowa Writers' Workshop. That same year, Pai's mother, the parent with whom Pai had the closest relationship, died, and it was this death to which Pai attributes the melancholy that pervades his work. After earning his M.A. from Iowa, he became a professor of Chinese literature at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and has resided in Santa Barbara ever since. Pai retired from UCSB in 1994.


[edit] Major Works
Pai's most famous work of fiction, Taipei People (臺北人, Táiběirén, 1971), is a seminal work of Chinese modernism that mixes both literary Chinese and experimental modernist techniques. In terms of his choice of themes, Pai's work is also far ahead of its time. His novel, Crystal Boys (孽子, Nièzǐ, 1983), tells the story of a group of homosexual youths living in 1960s Taipei largely from the viewpoint of a young, gay runaway who serves as its main protagonist. The novel's comparison of the dark corners of Taipei's New Park, the characters' main cruising area, with the cloistered society of Taiwan of that period proved quite unacceptable to Taipei's then KMT-dominated establishment, though Pai has generally remained a loyal KMT supporter.


[edit] Influence
Among other Taiwanese writers, Pai is appreciated for sophisticated narratives that introduce controversial and groundbreaking perspectives to Chinese literature. His major works, discussed above, have been widely influential.

Further, Bai's writings while in the US in the early 1960's have greatly contributed to an understanding of the Chinese experience in postwar America. "Death in Chicago" (1964) is a semi-autobiographical account of a young Chinese man who, on the eve of his graduation from the English Literature department of the University of Chicago, discovers that his mother has passed away back home. "Pleasantville" (1964) explores the depressed state of a Chinese mother in the upper-class New York suburbs who feels alienated by the "Americanization" of her Chinese husband and daughter. Both "Death in Chicago" and "Pleasantville" subtly criticize America as a superficial and materialistic culture that can cause immigrant Chinese to feel lonely and isolated.

In recent years, Bai has gained some acclaim in Mainland Chinese literary circles. He has held various lectures at Beijing Normal University, among others. In the Beijing University Selection of Modern Chinese Literature: 1949-1999 published in 2002, three of Bai's works are included under the time period 1958-1978.[1] These stories reflect the decadence of Shanghai high society in the Republican era. This subject matter constitutes only a small segment of Bai's diverse work, yet it fits particularly well with orthodox renditions of pre-1949 history taught on the Mainland.

In April 2000, a series of five books representing Bai Xianyong's lifework was published by Huacheng Publishing House in Guangzhou. This series is widely available in Mainland bookstores. It includes short stories, essays, diary entries, and the novel Niezi. A lengthy preface in Volume 1 was penned by Ou Yangzi, a fellow member of the group that founded the journal Xiandai Wenxue in Taiwan in the 1950's.[2]

Although he was born Muslim and attended missionary Catholic schools, Pai came to embrace Buddhism in America.[3]


[edit] Sexuality
Pai is one of the few Chinese homosexuals that have come out. Pai has explained that he believed his father knew of his homosexuality and "never made it an issue," though it was never discussed.

[edit] Context
"Taipei People" is the iconic literary work reflecting the experience of people from Mainland China ("mainlanders") who fled to Taiwan following the War of Resistance against Japan and the Chinese Civil War and founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949.

[edit] Structure and Format
The format and topic of this book is often compared to James Joyce's "Dubliners". Both of the books are short story series, and they are all about people in a certain city. Also, another book of Pai Hsien-yung called "New Yorkers" are similar to the two books.

[edit] Themes
Although these people are called "Taipei People", in their minds they are always reminiscing the scintillating old times in Mainland China, therefore most of them don't really belong to Taipei mentally. Their loss and their sense of insecurity is what this book is depicting.


[edit] Motifs
The stories are interwoven with a large number of motifs that are very suggestive of the place, the time, and the people. Some of them include dance halls, teahouses, taxi dancer, and (sexual) patronage; mahjong; the Kuomintang military, especially the officer corps; China's diverse regions; fashion, especially the chipao (qipao); traditional Chinese interior furnishings; Buddhism; Peking opera; separation; and many others.


[edit] Related Works
The collection has been translated into English and other languages. The stories have been also reworked to dramas in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and a movie in Taiwan.


[edit] Short Stories Synopses
"Taipei People" consists of fourteen stories:

The Eternal Snow Beauty (永遠的尹雪豔)
A Touch of Green (一把青)
New Year's Eve (歲除)
The Last Night of Taipan Chin (金大班的最後一夜)
A Sea of Blood-red Azaleas (那片血一般紅的杜鵑花)
Ode to Bygone Days (思舊賦)
The Dirge of Liang Fu (梁父吟)
Love's Lone Flower (孤戀花)
Glory's by Blossom Bridge (花橋榮記)
Autumn Reveries (秋思)
A Sky Full of Bright, Twinkling Stars (滿天裏亮晶晶的星星)
Wandering in the Garden, Waking from a Dream (遊園驚夢)
Winter Night (冬夜)
State Funeral (國葬)
Brief synopses are provided below. (Based on the English translation by the author and Patia Yasin, published as "Wandering in the Garden, Waking from a Dream.")


[edit] The Eternal Snow Beauty (永遠的尹雪豔)
The aging "Snow Beauty" (Yin Hsueh-yen) looks back on her days as the belle of Shanghai's Paramount ballroom; she is still the center of attention at upscale mahjong soirees she arranges at her Taipei home.


[edit] A Touch of Green (一把青)
In an extended tale, the (female) narrator observes how an innocent middle school bride (Verdancy Chu) transcends the death of her air force pilot husband during the war years to attain some degree of stability in the post-war Taiwan environment.

The story touches on the KMT-related New Life Movement as an element of continuity in the social life of mainland loyalists in the pre- and post-war eras.

[edit] New Year's Eve (歲除)
A visit by a former commanding officer (Brother Lai) for some New Year's Eve dining and drinking provides a contrast between the heroic tales of past military exploits and the limitations of his current situation.

An important "character" in the story is the fiery Kaoliang liquor, famous in Taiwan for its power.


[edit] The Last Night of Taipan Chin (金大班的最後一夜)
"Taipan Chin" is actually a woman who commands a taxi dancer group. In the story, she reflects on her choices, especially the insurmountable contradictions between wealth/security vs. love vs. freedom.


[edit] A Sea of Blood-red Azaleas (那片血一般紅的杜鵑花)
A servant, Wang Hsiung, epitomizes the torment of exile. The story is pervaded with "fish out of water" symbolism.

The story leans heavily on the use of the azalea as a symbol of homesickness and exile in Chinese culture.


[edit] Ode to Bygone Days (思舊賦)
Two old servants meet and talk about all the changes around them, especially those occuring in the rich family they have served. The story views decay as seen from beneath.

The story falls in a genre that explores the equivalence of the "mansion" and the "family," and the interweaving threads in their parallel growth and decline, in (modern) Chinese literature. See, for instance, Ba Jin's Family and the classic of late imperial Chinese literature, Dream of the Red Chamber.


[edit] The Dirge of Liang Fu (梁父吟)
On the occasion of the funeral of a general, one of his cohorts recounts past exploits. The story conveys the utter resolution of substantial elements of the elite mainlander class to "recover the Mainland," even as age and distance render their desires impossible.

The story includes a recounting of events connected to the Wuchang Uprising, the first event in the 1911 Revolution that gave birth to the Republic of China.

"The Dirge of Liang Fu" refers to specific compositions in classic Chinese literature, and suggests the way in which exile and return have been the subject of Chinese poets such as Tu Fu.


[edit] Love's Lone Flower (孤戀花)
"Peach Blossom" is the protege and companion of the female protagonist; both are club escorts. Peach Blossom becomes falls into a deadly and insanity-creating spiral with a thug, Yama.

The context of the story is yet another variant of the Chinese "pleasure quarters," the winehouse.


[edit] Glory's by Blossom Bridge (花橋榮記)
"Glory's" is a restaurant, and the noodles it serves could stand as a tenuous link between distant Kweilin -- the site of its predecessor -- and Taiwan.

All of the stories in the collection make use of allusions to particular regions in mainland China; this story's allusion to Kweilin is special, since that is the author's home province, Kweilin (Guilin). Through references to food, landscape, and the unique Kweilin opera, he suggests the particular poignancy of exile from that place.


[edit] Autumn Reveries (秋思)
Autumn means "aging," and this jewel of a story focuses on the power and fragility of beauty.

The story alludes to the use of the chrysanthemum as a symbol of the transience of life -- its brilliant, brief flowering followed by excruciating decline -- in Chinese (and Japanese) culture.


[edit] A Sky Full of Bright, Twinkling Stars (滿天裏亮晶晶的星星)
Capturing a "beat" sensibility that finds extended development in much Taiwan literature, this story about (gay) street characters who frequent Taipei's New Park -- The Guru, Ah Hsiung the Primitive, Dark-and-Handsome, Little Jade -- concludes with a potent symbol of how very different people (and peoples) are thrown into each other's arms.

This story alludes to the bright effluorescence of the Shanghai film industry in the '20s and '30s.


[edit] Wandering in the Garden, Waking from a Dream (遊園驚夢)
The collection's eponymous story is a tour-de-force of Chinese cultural allusion, as it contrasts the pre-Taiwan condition of a group of taxi dancers (Fragrant Cassia, Heavenly Pepper, Red Red Rose) with their current position as wives (or ex-wives or widows) of prominent society figures (Madan Ch'ien . . . Madam Tou . . . Madam Jen . . . . ).

The story interweaves abundant allusion to a specific variety of Chinese opera called Kunqu in general, including its many roles and unique sounds, together with a specific episode from the opera The Peony Pavilion ("Wandering in the Garden, Waking from a Dream"). Moreover, these are interwoven with allusions to the dashing and machismo of the Kuomintang officer corps and a whole host of allusions to the sensuous pleasures of elite Chinese societies - the shimmer of silk cheongsam, the smell of high quality rosewood Chinese furniture, the taste of dishes from Chinese cuisine specially selected for the event.

Kunqu is itself native to the area near Nanjing and Suzhou in China, in other words, it refers to the seat of Kuomintang government and support prior to exile in Taiwan. The story alludes to specific dishes of the Huaiyang cuisine, another reminder of the Nanjing area.


[edit] Winter Night (冬夜)
In a richly ironic tale, two professors talk about their careers, and the contrast between their glorious and idealistic student days -- particularly their role in the student demonstrations that ushered in the May Fourth Movement -- and the feelings of failure, hypocrisy, and desertion that they currently battle.

===State Funeral (國葬)=== This story takes a none-too-subtle parting shot at the Mainlander ethos. At a state funeral for an important general such as his father, the general's old aide is bewildered to confront the old and feeble men who once constituted China's "Steel Army" and "Iron Forces." The only connection to the old Mainland idea seems to be the long line of black limousines, "like a serpent," in the funeral procession.

This story, written about 7 years before the death of seems to foretell the inevitable consequences of the natural death of the KMT's military leaders.

　　此外，因电影《梅兰芳》“十三燕”一角而大受观众喜爱的著名演员王学圻此次也被力邀加盟《金大班》，出演金兆丽的生父郁永乔一角。剧中王学圻饰演的郁永乔，与范冰冰饰演的金兆丽，本为亲生父女，却阴错阳差失散二十余年，多年后相遇却无法相认，这失散的二十年造就了一个金大班，改变了金兆丽的一生，也是郁永乔一生难以抹去的痛楚。
