Daiyu
If the final ending of Dream of Red Mansions was written by Mr. Cao, would the ending be different? After all, he was so fond of Lin Daiyu, so he probably couldn't bear to let her die with hatred. Anyway, the death of sister Daiyu was not written by Mr. Cao himself. The sister Daiyu in my heart will not die. It was never her who should die. They are those defenders who can't see the twisted darkness behind the feudal system. I just want to say that Xue Baochai is so disgusting, why doesn't she die? I originally thought Xue Baochai was quite good, but she hated her since she slandered Daiyu's sister and eavesdropped, and even let Xue Yan support her. He tricked Jia Baoyu into marrying him, and then said that when Jia Baoyu got married, he would just keep to himself and not think about other women. She consummated the marriage with Baoyu while Baoyu was sad all day because of Daiyu's death, and forced Jia Baoyu to do things he didn't like to do all day long. How could she, Xue Baochai, have the face to be the second young mistress?

It's really a pity that Cao Xueqin didn't finish it.
Is this the unabridged version of the original work?
I don't know which one is the original without abridgements. Is this the right one?
