The Rice Sprout Song is a 1955 novel by Eileen Chang, the first novel she wrote in English.〔Chang, Eileen. ''The Rice Sprout Song.'' New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1955.〕 Detailing the hardships a peasant family faces in China, Chang elegantly describes how the bonds of family and kinship weather the forces of a food shortage. ==Background== In 1949, Communist forces in China captured Shanghai, where Eileen Chang was living at the time. Three years later, in 1952, she moved to Hong Kong, which at the time was governed by the British. There in Hong Kong Eileen wrote ''The Rice Sprout Song''. In the preface, Eileen Chang notes an incident published in the ''People's Literature'', a Communist publication which motivated her novel. It involved a writer recounting the events in northern China during the spring famine of 1950. The peasants, desperate for food, stormed the granary, but the Party members defended it by opening fire, killing and wounding the villagers. Feeling disillusioned by the failure of the Party, the writer published the story, which caused him much criticism, and under pressure, he severely criticized himself for doubting the Party.
