Reader comments
I especially like the section in the book where Fan Jin was selected for the exam. He was so happy that he went crazy because of his success. It reminded me of those people around me who were complacent because of a little achievement. This book not only satirized feudal society, but also made me think more about life. Come and read it too!
Very good, very good, is Du Shenqing the same? [Laughs evilly]
It is a must-read classic, and it still has its reasons.
