However, The Tale Beyond the Red Chamber, written by the contemporary renowned author Xiao Sai over 23 years of imprisonment with immense effort and dedication, is the only work unanimously praised by red scholars both at home and abroad. This book was published twice in the 1980s and became a bestseller at the time. Prominent red scholars such as Duan Riliangliang, Jiang Hesen, as well as literary giants Yang Hansheng and Wu Zuguang, successively wrote poems, inscribed titles, and reviewed the book. The renowned Japanese red scholar and translator of the Japanese version of Dream of the Red Chamber, Ito Shuping, also expressed his admiration: "Beyond the red and green, there is another tower—." It is now republished to delight contemporary "red studies" enthusiasts.
