This is a tragic love story and an unparalleled classic in the history of Chinese literature — Dream of the Red Chamber, a book known to every Chinese. The novel's heroine, Lin Daiyu, is an introverted and frail young woman. In a poignant scene, she gently buries fallen flower petals while reciting the unforgettable Elegy for the Blossoms. This moment symbolizes ephemeral beauty and profound melancholy. She embodies fragile yet resilient girls who defy their fate — though her story ends tragically, she attains eternal love. Have you heard this tale? If you know any Chinese person, ask them to share more.
Beyond romance, this masterpiece meticulously documents ancient Chinese garden architecture and offers insightful observations on the extravagant lifestyles of four prominent families.
