Reader comments
The publication of this complete version of "A Dream of Red Mansions" is truly a blessing in the world. Zhang Ailing once said that she has three hatreds in life: "First, I hate that begonias are fragrant; second, I hate that crucian carp is prickly; and third, I hate that the dream of the Red Mansions is not yet completed." It is indeed a great blessing for today's people that the Red Mansion has been passed down to the world intact. Regarding this legendary work, the author also wrote four verses to describe its origin: "When the stone is passed down to the world, who knows the original. The same dream in the Red Mansion, don't laugh at the idiots of the world!"
