The Golden Cangue (金锁记) is a 1943 Chinese novella by Eileen Chang. The author's own English translation appeared in the anthology Modern Chinese Stories and Novellas: 1919–1949 (1981) published by Columbia University Press. Fu Lei was an enthusiastic critic of the story, while C. T. Hsia considered it "the greatest novelette in the history of Chinese literature".

 

 

The Golden Cangue is among the most widely known works of 20th century Chinese literature star writer Eileen Chang (张爱玲), famed for her piercing insight on human nature. The theatrical production is directed by celebrated Hong Kong film-maker Ann Hui On-Wah (许鞍华).
