This character is a bit similar to me. If you want to work hard, you don't have the strength. If you want to rely on background, you don't have the connections. If you want to rely on ability, you don't have the emotional intelligence. I lamented to myself in the nightclub all day long. Hahaha, maybe in that era, the poems written by such people made people learn and admire them. But you can read from the book that the characters were actually not successful at that time, and their lives were not satisfactory. What they could do was just a small boat crossing the sea. The inability to determine one's own position and the inability to realize one's ambitions may be due to the times or to oneself.
In general, he didn't have any great achievements at that time. In modern times, he is just a poet. Although he wanted to do good, he was not able to do it for various reasons. But objectively speaking, it is already above average. At least many younger sisters like his works and literary talent.
This book tells Liu Yong's life story in a unique form of biography, which gave me a deeper understanding of him. The author's smooth writing style and precise word choice made me feel like I was in Liu Yong's era. The interpretation of Liu Yong's lyrics in the book is also very good, which made me feel his talent and emotion. Although Liu Yong's life was rough, his words have been passed down through the ages. This book makes me appreciate his works even more. Recommended to friends who like Song Ci and Liu Yong!
