About This Novel
This book is an autobiographical prose by Shen Fu, a writer in the Qing Dynasty. It is divided into six volumes: "Memories of the Boudoir", "Records of Leisure Love", "Records of Troubles and Sorrows", "Records of Wandering Travels", "Records of Zhongshan Calendar" and "Records of Health Preservation". The latter volumes have been lost and the current version was continued by posterity. The author uses simple and delicate writing to describe the experience of most of his life, from the deep love between husband and wife to like-minded friends and deep friendship; from the changes in the family and the world, to the hardships of separation and separation, and the ups and downs of travel; from the literati's elegance and anecdotes to the love of mountains and rivers and the joy of life. The content contrasts the joy and sorrow, and the content is truly touching.
