Features: "A wild tale of absurdity, a handful of bitter tears!
They all say the author is mad, who can understand the taste within?"
A story that is well-known to both men and women, Dream of the Red Chamber
is a work that embodies Cao Xueqin's life's effort. The novel,
with the tragic love story of Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu as its main thread,
weaves the rise and fall of the four great families—Jia, Wang, Shi, and Xue.
With vivid characters and a poignant love story, it is an
unfathomable and endlessly fascinating classic. Dream of the Red Chamber
is a great literary work in both Chinese and world literary history.
It is the pinnacle of Chinese classical long-fiction creation,
a shining example of the long-standing and splendid Chinese culture,
and also a shared spiritual and cultural treasure of all humanity.
