Winning Over Baoyu in Dream of the Red Chamber

Only by adopting the protagonist's perspective can you see that Lady Wang and Grandmother Jia are like family members you've known since childhood. They might be talkative, greedy for small gains, short-sighted, occasionally lose their temper, scold you for being confused, and sometimes be clueless. They have many flaws.

Since she knew this, she should have raised her son, who would be the head of the household, properly. What's the use of just talking about it all day? She still spoils him rotten. Even if her husband were still alive, she shouldn't have spoiled him like this. To be fair, Xue Baochai often had no choice. Although her actions were criticized, they were also understandable. She could only try her best within the limited scope...

Five-colored divine bird, of phoenix bloodline 😆

To be honest, neither of the Wang family's daughters are very bright, and Wang Ziteng isn't much better... They're fundamentally flawed; they weren't raised properly.

Her affection wasn't necessarily genuine; Xue Pan always came first. 😂 She was willing to sacrifice Baochai to protect this domineering fool. It was one thing to spoil him, but the real problem was that she didn't know how to raise him properly, resulting in a good-for-nothing son... In modern times, people like this would be on the news (My dad is Li Gang).

"Truly pitiful" sounds a bit self-pitying. The character "" (lian) itself carries connotations of pity and compassion. Perhaps a better name would be Zhen Yingjie. "" (Zhen Yingcai) is a neutral term, but it's best to choose one that emphasizes personal achievements.

That's absolutely true; if you can't stand up on your own, everything becomes difficult.

I've been waiting a long time to finish reading this. I don't have a good impression of feudal dynasties. I dislike the Qing and Ming dynasties, and while it's undeniable that the Han, Sui, Tang, Song, and Yuan dynasties represent some of the best aspects of traditional Chinese culture and national spirit, history itself has its limitations.

Famous officials who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty: Hong Chengchou, Wu Sangui, Qian Qianyi, Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, Shang Kexi, Zu Dashou (among them, Qian was a representative of scholar-officials, who was notorious for refusing to die for his country, saying the water was too cold 😂).

The scholars weren't so wronged [clown]. If it weren't for the endless factional strife and infighting among these so-called scholars at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it wouldn't have fallen so quickly. The corruption and collusion between officials and merchants in the civil service had already hollowed out the entire dynasty.
