C. T. Hsia's scholarship encompasses many Chinese authors and genres, he is particularly associated with Eileen Chang's works. In 1957, C. T. Hsia published a full-length study of Eileen Chang in "Wenxue zazhi", a Taiwanese literary journal edited by his brother T. A. Hsia, thus launching Chang studies. In 1981, it was at Hsia's recommendation that Eileen Chang expressed an interest in having her English translation of Han Bangqing's "Sing-Song Girls of Shanghai" published by Columbia University Press. Although Chang changed her mind a year later, this translation was eventually published in 2005 thanks to the support and recommendation of C. T. Hsia and Joseph Lau.
