摘要：《小團圓》是張愛玲設置的記憶迷宮，通向過去，也通向未來。藉助小說中的吉光片羽，我們得以確認《金鎖記》、《傾城之戀》、《琉璃瓦》、《相見歡》等其他作品中的女性人物原型，再結合家族檔案與報刊史料，足以鉤沉她們的生命史。這些閨秀或是光彩照人，或是沒沒無聞，皆如金粉沉入歷史的埃塵，惟有張愛玲的文字賦予她們不朽的生命。通過對照真實的與虛構的生命史，我們嘗試解讀張愛玲的文學觀與女性觀。

Eileen Chang's Little Reunions is a maze of memories that leads to both the past and the future. We can identify the prototypes of female characters in other works such as "The Golden Cangue," "Love in a Fallen City," "Glazed Tiles," and "Joy over the reunion" with the help of the novel's fragments, and piece together their life histories using family archives and newspapers. All of these women, whether talented or not, are buried like gold sand in the dust of history, but Eileen Chang's words bring them back to life. By contrasting the real and fictional life histories, we can gain insight into Eileen Chang's views on literature and on women.
