Reader comments
This book combines Su Dongpo's life trajectory with the art collection of the Forbidden City from a unique perspective, which is eye-catching. Mr. Zhu Yong's words are like a key, opening up Su Dongpo's spiritual world and allowing us to have a deeper understanding of his character and experience. The sentence in the book, "The bamboo stick and mango shoes are lighter than the horse, who is afraid? You can live your whole life in the misty rain" is a true portrayal of Su Dongpo's open-minded and free attitude towards life. Although his life was rough, it was full of poetry. This book is not only a tribute to Su Dongpo, but also an affectionate review of the spirit of that era.
