About This Novel
Red school classic! It tells the true fate of the prototype characters such as Jia Mu, Jia Zheng, Jia Baoyu, Wang Xifeng, and Xi Ren in "A Dream of Red Mansions". The masterpiece of Gao Yang, the master of historical novels, who has worked hard for 30 years! To understand "A Dream of Red Mansions", you must read "A Dream of Red Mansions". Cao Xueqin's grandfather, Cao Yin, was a close associate of Kangxi. Three generations of his grandfather and grandson were responsible for weaving in Jiangning for 60 years. The Cao Mansion was as grand as the Jia Mansion in "A Dream of Red Mansions". At the end of the fifth year of Yongzheng's reign, when Cao Xueqin was 13 years old, his family was dismissed for crimes and their property confiscated. Cao Xueqin moved back to Beijing with his mother, and the Cao Mansion fell into decline. Cao Xueqin created "A Dream of Red Mansions" based on the rise and fall of his family. A large number of stories and character prototypes come from the family life that he has been exposed to since childhood. In addition to Jia Baoyu who is based on himself, the shrewd and aggressive Wang Xifeng, the romantic and dexterous Xi Ren, and the articulate Qingwen, they are all people who exist in real life and are loved by the author. The fate of fictional characters often coincides with the character's prototype, and there are also real-life joys and sorrows that are deliberately hidden.

It seems to be the prototype of Wang Xifeng and others in Dream of Red Mansions?
The prototype of Baoyu is Cao Xueqin himself? The romantic and clever attacker? This......?
It's too expensive. When will it be free?
A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, so you have to hold on.
Well enough
Before I knew it, it cost me over 100 oceans.
Okay, pretty good-looking
This is a very modern word
Very good, very good, very good, very good, very good, very good
