Reader comments

Su Dongpo is one of my favorite literati, but I only had a superficial understanding of him before, such as "being demoted again and again" and "optimistic and heroic". It is his positive, optimistic and enterprising spirit that I love. And this "The Biography of Su Shi" allowed me to see a different Su Dongpo from another angle. He was a proud young man, but his official career was not smooth, and he was repeatedly demoted, but he did not dwell on the past and cherish his sorrow. The "Wutai Poetry Case" frustrated him and made him grow. After this, Su Dongpo was the Su Dongpo we know well and the Su Dongpo we generally recognize. He let us know that there is happiness everywhere in life. As long as we discover it with our heart, every moment is a beauty worth recording. He and Wang Anshi, he and Ouyang Xiu, he and Zhang Dun, he and Lu Huiqing, he and Qin Shaoyou, he and Huang Tingjian, he and Cheng Yi, he and Su Che... These fragmentary life interactions formed a complete Su Dongpo in my mind, a Su Dongpo who was open-minded, dared to love and hate, loved talents and cherished them, and was optimistic and open-minded. (Sincerely, the first biography I have read)
