This paper explores the urban space depicted in Eileen Chang’s novella Love in a Fallen City, delving into the interplay between traditional and modern civilizations. Through close textual analysis and literary research methods, it examines the psychological landscapes of the main characters. Furthermore, it analyzes how Eileen Chang portrays the relationship between traditional and modern spaces in her works and how this portrayal influences the characters’ behavior and fate. While existing academic research on Eileen Chang’s works and ideas has been abundant and deeply insightful, there are relatively lacking cases to analyze her novels from the perspective of spatial writing. To deepen the understanding of Eileen Chang’s works and her creative style and provide a new perspective for the interpretation of her other works, this research conducts an in-depth discussion on the spatial writing depicting traditional and modern civilizations in her work, Love in a Fallen City.
