The Red Mansion is a Political Book

About This Novel
Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and people are rivers and lakes. The brothers and sisters hiding in the back garden of Jia's house are no exception. Behind the romance of "A Dream of Red Mansions" is a cruel and thrilling secret war and power struggle. In a sense, "Dream of Red Mansions" is a mirror of today's society. We are experiencing the struggle here at any time... To a certain extent, reformers are the embodiment of heroes! Jia Tanchun in "A Dream of Red Mansions" led this vigorous "Prague Spring"-style reform in Rongguo Mansion, but he could only end up marrying far away. Although Tanchun is a fictional character, there are similar scenes both at home and abroad throughout the ages. No exception. Shang Yang's reforms laid the foundation for Qin to dominate the world, but he suffered the torture of breaking a car; Wang Anshi's reforms were blocked by Sima Guang and other conservatives, and they have been both criticized and praised in the past thousand years; Dubcek, who led the real "Prague Spring", sadly stepped down due to the intervention of the Soviet Union. Perhaps this is the tragedy of the common fate of reformers.
