Reader comments
This book is very interesting! The author Zhang Ailing is really a "Dream of Red Mansions fan" and her research is so detailed! As she puts it, a little "crazy." She has read so many fat copies of "Dream of Red Mansions" and can still find various details in it. It reminds me of my aunt who was so obsessed with it when she studied ancient poetry. Although I am not as good as her, reading this book also gave me a deeper understanding of "Dream of Red Mansions". However, it is a bit difficult to understand in places, so I may have to read it a few more times.
I knew this book when I was young, and I am interested in reading it today.
