The four works "The Romance of the West Chamber, The Peony Pavilion, The Palace of Eternal Life, and The Peach Blossom Fan" have gorgeous words and delicate writing styles, which make people intoxicated. I especially like Du Liniang in "The Peony Pavilion". Her courageous pursuit of love and freedom is touching. These works are not only love classics, but also literary treasures, worth reading again and again.

I just finished watching The West Chamber and I can't help but comment on it. The words written thousands of years ago are still as good as modern ones. In real life, there are many romances that start like this between the male and female protagonists, but very few can reach this ending.

Books Suitable for Student Parties

I want to read a book similar to "Lychees from Chang'an". Are there any books that have a plot and good writing, suitable for students (females), not too childish, and not romantic (not the four major classics)
