Reader comments
The author's language is easy to understand and he narrates Su Dongpo's life experience. Su Dongpo had a rough life, but he always maintained an optimistic attitude, which is really admirable. I especially hate those who framed him. Fortunately, Su Dongpo was not knocked down. His line "The bamboo stick and mango shoes are better than the horse, who is afraid? You can live your whole life in the misty rain" is so cool! I learned a lot from this book, and I recommend you read it too.
