This is the first time I read this kind of novel that combines a lot of historical facts, and I was deeply shocked. The emotional line between the male and female protagonists is not a traditional romance plot, but a love and dependence of mutual encouragement and companionship from youth to old age. It was so touching, I always cried when I read it [cry][cry] The author's writing style is really great, and it can be seen that he has a rich knowledge reserve. I also learned a lot of history while reading the novel, and I was educated.
It's really good-looking. When I wrote books in my old life, I just didn't take them seriously [cry] [cry] Some ordinary sentences create vivid characters one by one, and I don't mythologise the characters. Buddha also has desires and struggles, but writing it from this perspective is really not disgusting at all. It is true to be ordinary. If I read it, I would still choose the stage when Luo Shi first met Ai Qing when he was 13 years old and when he met Ai Qing again at the age of 32. These two nodes are very poignant to me. It's a straight shot.
The old version is finally online, my Bai Yueguang [crying]
A book I read a long time ago, I am still moved by reading it again. This book can give you a detailed understanding of Kumarajiva's life (part of the Sixteen Kingdoms), but it is not boring. I thank the author for reading so many dry history books, connecting the starting points and clues, and dedicating to everyone a warm history.
At first glance, many plots feel very Mary Sue-like. Look again, handsome men basically love the heroine In the end, the flaws do not hide the virtues! Although very ancient novels do make us feel uncomfortable today, the ups and downs of a thousand years of love still shock people deeply into the soul. Those transparent outlooks on life, values, and worldviews bring readers not just simple love, but a philosophy of life. Good book, good book
Because of a time-travel experiment, she met Kumarajiva when he was still a teenager. From then on, Ai Qing began to struggle with the fate of Kumarajiva for 40 years! The surprise of seeing the boy for the first time, the pounding of heart after slowly getting to know him, knowing that he can't do it, but he can't help but get closer. Finally, he flies into the flame for love and is willing to travel through thousands of years of time and space to follow and accompany him! The cruelty of those famines makes people deeply understand the small and turbulent years. Fortunately, they did not destroy each other's love and care! The time spent together is sweet and sincere, the love is deep and passionate, and the long wait is no longer so difficult because of the warmth and commitment in the memory! Fortunately, despite all the regrets, it finally came to a happy ending!
I have added it to my bookshelf for a while. Probably because the first few chapters on Buddhism were quite long, I couldn't stand it at first. However, due to the recent book shortage, I had the patience to read it. I originally thought that the tone of this book was be, but the result was unexpected: in the end, Ai Qing also gave Luo Shi a complete life. The author keeps citing classics and takes us into the long river of history, but in the end, the original historical height of the work is diluted by the overly ideal emotional line. If I were a few years younger, I would have been deeply moved by the love bond in it, but now after reading it, I understand that Luo Shi is Ai Qing's only one, but for Luo Shi, he still has his Buddha. Compared with the aloof Luo Shi, the bohemian and scheming younger brother and the paranoid and sinister General Meng are more flesh and blood. I prefer to watch the interaction between Ai Qing and her younger brother, which is vivid and natural. Ai Qing's love is like a moth flying into a flame, desperate for her family, friends, and even her own children to fulfill her great love. However, this was a work 20 years ago, and this view of love was also a product of the mainstream at that time. Overall, it is still a masterpiece.
Although he doesn't understand Buddhism, he always puts people in the majestic and silent temple, and the sound of chanting sutras surrounds his ears. The book is full of exotic festival activities, the cruelty of war, and the death of people from famine who exchange their children for food, making people immersed in it. Thanks to the author for allowing us to see such a sincere relationship. Even if it spans a thousand years, even if I wait ten years after another, I still love you as before, and I am willing to sacrifice everything for each other. I hope that Master Kumarajiva in the long history of history will really meet a kind, brave, knowledgeable and somewhat cute woman and join hands for a lifetime. I am very glad to have read such a good book on January 1, 2026, and hope to see more and more good books in Tomato in the future.
It's great. I've re-read it several times. Tomato finally has the old version.
This is the version I saw before, and I watched it again in the past two days. Resentment and hatred will come together, love will be separated, and the eight sufferings of life will follow you like a shadow. I have been looking for a house for the past two days and am about to move again. In fact, I am particularly afraid of change and separation. Anxious, uncertain and at a loss about the future, how should life be to live up to oneself?
I like it. I have watched it for many years. It looks good. Prefer the ending of the old version
This is the second book I have read that made me feel both real and touching. My eyes were really swollen with tears when I read the end [crying] Although it ended, I feel that it is a pity that the heroine did not fully participate in the hero's youth. Every time the heroine travels to the past, it is 10 years for the hero. It is too difficult for the two of them to stay together. How many decades are there in life? [Crying] [crying] After reading this book, I want to believe that Ai Qing really traveled to the past in history. . . . No, I'm going to cry like a rat
I read the old version and the TV series several years ago. I have watched a few episodes of the TV series in the past few days and want to read the book again. I read it from beginning to end, and also read the concluding chapters of the old version. I found that the ending of the complete version is different from the original version, and each has its own merits. But I am still amazed at the author's carefulness and rigor, and he checked a lot of documents before writing it. Even if you don't read the master's original work, you can still draw wisdom and strength from the novel, and get your soul cleansed. It has nothing to do with love, but it can cleanse the soul. What a great work! Decided to pursue other works of the author. Expect!
Very nice to look at. Ancient Chinese literature is really great. The male protagonist is super, super gentle. The heroine is smart and brave.
History controls ecstasy! I haven't read this kind of historical novel in many years. I really like the story that tells the history of an era. I can see the joys and sorrows of the characters, and I can also see the picture of an era.
It's been a long time since I shed tears because of a book. Every character is very distinct. The story of Luo Shi and Ai Qing is really beautiful.
I read the book many, many years ago. I was just a middle school student at that time, and more than ten years have passed in a flash. The story of Luo Shi and Ai Qing lasts for decades. It was these decades that made them deeply in love. It's better to be apart than to be together. Fortunately, they ended up together.
After listening to it, I couldn't calm down for a long time. The love separated by more than a thousand years made people feel heartbroken and even more distressed. As the host narrated, people couldn't help but immerse themselves in it. The author's writing style is very good, and the description of history and Buddhism in the article is really impressive. The article is good, and the broadcast team is excellent. It is worth reading and listening attentively. Highly recommended! Of the two versions, I still think the old one is better. I like the ending of the old version very much!
The author has a profound and solid historical background, and he quotes scriptures and references at your fingertips ~ Awesome ~
I read the new version first, and then the old version. I was so immersed in the love story described by the author that I couldn't read it for a long time. This taboo of holding back and waiting for the only feeling is still the most touching. The author has a very rich knowledge. He uses a few passages from the history books to present a very perfect story to everyone. The male and female protagonists of the story are also reasonably integrated into the historical records. It is very rare and very skillful.
Have read it, very good.
I am ashamed that my passion has polluted my holy life, and I am afraid that I will fall in love with the city by mistake when I enter the mountains. How can we get the perfect Dharma in this world, and live up to the Tathagata and the Lord?
I read everyone's comments first, so I always felt a touch of sadness while reading this book. So far, it seems that this book is really well written. In my opinion, the first encounter between the male and female protagonists, despite the large age difference, really sparked the spark of love. The image of the male protagonist, Buddha, is so good. The author is also a very cultural person. It is a 10-star review.
Looks good, better than the new version
When will Xiaochun write the story of Tsangyang Gyatso? It will definitely be very interesting.
The author's cultural background is very profound. Although some Buddhism is difficult to understand, the story is told in a gentle and unforgettable way.
The old version is still good. I feel so good watching Pulling and Uncontrollable. Moreover, the integration of history is very natural. The author has done a lot of homework. I am grateful to the author for writing such a touching novel.
I read it first and then wrote it. I live up to Tathagata and live up to you. Now I will read the old work again. It is obvious that the character descriptions in the later works are more complete, the content is richer and more fascinating...
The author has a deep understanding of history to write such a good novel. Although the heroine travels through time, it does not change Kumarajiva's history. You can also understand history by reading the novel.
I have read the old and new versions repeatedly and am writing a review for the first time. There is no tie for first place!
