Reader comments
The book "Qiaolianzhu" has a vivid plot and distinctive characters. In the excerpt, Jia Youdao attempts to sabotage other people's marriages for his own selfish desires. This behavior is really disgusting. Fu Zizhou's talent was highly recognized by Fang Gong, and his poems were exquisite and admirable. Fang Gong also had insightful views on poetry and career, emphasizing the versatility of talented people. In general, this book not only shows the various aspects of society, but also conveys some thoughts on talent and morality.
