Editing Eileen Chang (section)

=== Marriages ===
In 1943, Chang met her first husband [[Hu Lancheng]] when she was 23 and he was 37. They married the following year in a private ceremony. Fatima Mohideen was the sole attendee. In the few months that he courted Chang, Hu was still married to his third wife. Although Hu was labelled a traitor for collaborating with the Japanese during [[World War II]], Chang continued to remain loyal to Hu. Shortly thereafter, Hu chose to move to [[Wuhan]] to work for a newspaper. While staying at a local hospital, he seduced a 17-year-old nurse, Zhou Xunde ({{lang|zh-hant|周訓德}}), who soon moved in with him. When Japan was defeated in 1945, Hu used another identity and hid in the nearby city of [[Wenzhou]], where he married Fan Xiumei ({{lang|zh-hant|范秀美}}). Chang and Hu divorced in 1947.<ref name="PONG2009"/>

In 1956, while living in [[MacDowell Colony|MacDowell Colony, New Hampshire]], Chang met and became involved with the American [[screenwriter]] [[Ferdinand Reyher]], a [[Philadelphia, Pennsylvania|Philadelphia]] native nearly 30 years her senior.<ref>Stevens, Wallace, and Holly Stevens. “Letters to Ferdinand Reyher: Edited with an Afternote by Holly Stevens.” The Hudson Review, vol. 44, no. 3, 1991, pp. 381–409. ''JSTOR''.</ref> During the time they were briefly apart in New York (Chang in [[New York City]], Reyher in [[Saratoga Springs, New York|Saratoga]]), Chang wrote to Reyher that she was pregnant with his child. Reyher wrote back to propose. Although Chang did not receive the letter, she telephoned the following morning to inform Reyher she was arriving in Saratoga. Reyher had a chance to propose to her in person, but insisted that he did not want the child. Chang had an abortion shortly afterward. On August 14, 1956, the couple married in New York City.<ref>[http://www.focusfeatures.com/article/eileen_chang_and_lust__caution "Eileen Chang and Lust, Caution"]. ''Focus Features''.
