A "diary of love and life" written for ordinary people two hundred years ago. Reading it is like reading "ancient people's circle of friends". The vernacular version completely removes the difficulty of classical Chinese, and reading it is like reading a long article posted by a friend. Imagine that what you are reading is not a noble classic, but a "private diary" written by Shen Fu, a man in Suzhou more than two hundred years ago. In this diary, there are no emperors, generals, gods or ghosts, only his ordinary but interesting life, especially the warm yet bitter love story between him and his wife Chen Yun. The core of this book is to tell you: even in the most ordinary life, the most precious happiness can be found.
