Zhu Cizheng, the fourth prince of Emperor Chongzhen. As the true author of "A Dream of Red Mansions", King Yong of the Ming Dynasty used his pen instead of his sword to write down the soul of the Han family with his blood————
The wind blew violently in the coal mountain, the dragon's robe turned into dust, and the twelve-year-old prince became a lonely soul in troubled times.
He remained anonymous for more than sixty years, from the Forbidden Palace to the fields in the south of the Yangtze River. He used pen and ink as a blade and used scraps of paper to hide the truth, weaving the rise and fall of his family and country, blood and tears into absurd stories.
The flames of war have not yet been extinguished, and the old dream is hard to find. There is only one volume of manuscripts, which secretly records the last traces of a dynasty.
Reader comments
This is a historical masterpiece of "anti-shuang literature". The most rare thing about it is that it does not portray Zhu Cizheng as a hero who "turns the tide of collapse". On the contrary, the book is full of the powerlessness of small people in the big era - the betrayal of old ministers may be due to survival instincts, the recruitment of the new dynasty is hidden behind the shadow of swords, and even the closest people around them may be harboring unknown secrets. Zhu Cizheng's growth did not rely on golden fingers, but on his awakening after falling again and again, and on the way to survive found out in the darkness. This kind of narrative that is close to human nature allows the character to escape from the flat "prince" symbol and become flesh-and-blood and sympathetic.
I finally found a novel related to the real author of Dream of Red Mansions. The storyline is close to and consistent with the historical facts. Wang Shiyuan, in turn, is the original king and the Yongwang of the Ming Dynasty. It contains a lot of clues about the time when the book was written. It's great!
I have read several novels about princes who have lost their country, and this one made me burst into tears. Since I can't be a prince, can I be an ordinary person? But the choice is difficult.
It turns out that the Grand View Garden is not a gentle town, but the remnant dream of Zhu Cizheng's homeland. He transformed the palace towers into pavilions and waterside pavilions, and wrote about the scattered clan members who had left the buildings empty. The book "A Dream of Red Mansions" turned out to be the bloody autobiography of a subjugated prince.
The plot of the novel is reasonable, and it reproduces the wandering life of the fourth prince. It is not easy to be born in the emperor's family, and it is even more difficult to be born in the family of the last emperor. In the end... It is all destiny.
