10. Eileen Chang with her aunt, [s.d.] Eileen Chang with her aunt， [s.d.]. This picture was taken on the balcony of my aunt's apartment. She jokingly told me that I shouldn't grow taller anymore. She wrote with a pencil on the back of the picture saying "Even though I look bad in the picture, her stance is natural so I wanted to show you. Kids often play around this area." After 2 years, she told me that my mom had trusted me to her. She needed to declare it to prevent me from getting closer to my aunt than my mother. -- "Dui Zhao Ji", p. 029; 张爱玲与她姑姑的照片，[s.d.]. "在我姑姑的屋顶阳台上。她央告我'可不能在长高了。'我这张难看极了小瑛很自然所以寄给你看看这地方是汽车间顶上小孩玩的地方我们头顶上的窗就是我的Sitting room的。显然他是寄给我母亲同一照片寄出的一张上题字的底稿。我再稍大两岁她就告诉我她是答应我母亲照应我的。她需要声明，大概也是怕我跟他比跟我母亲更亲近，成了离间亲子感情。"-- 对照记，p. 029
