In that story by this author, an embittered widow lies about her daughter’s opium use to ruin her engagement. In a novella by this author whose title can be translated as (*) “colorful ring,” a drama student enters a relationship with the collaborator Mr. Yee in order to assassinate him. “The Golden Cangue” is included in an NYRB Classics collection of this author’s stories, titled for a novella that juxtaposes the courtship of Bai Liusu with the Japanese capture of Hong Kong.
