I don’t like to read a book repeatedly, but "A Dream of Red Mansions" is an exception. I have read it many times since I was a child, and I still can't put it down and never tire of it. I remember Lily said: The way to read "Dream of Red Mansions" is - read whichever page the wind blows. This makes sense. Every time you start reading, you don't have to start from the beginning, just flip through and look wherever you want.

When I was a child, I borrowed a mutilated and shabby novel "Dream of Red Mansions". At that time, parents and teachers thought it was a leisure book, so they didn't dare to read it blatantly, so they read it secretly. There are often times when reading is not enough and you have to put it down, so you will think about it and think about it often. When I encounter a poem I like in the book, I will quietly copy it in my diary and recite it silently. I still remember lying on the bed, copying poems one by one from the old book with the faint candlelight. I was still muttering in my sleep: "When the flowers fade and the flowers fly all over the sky, who will pity me when the flowers fade away and the fragrance fades?"... I still remember that my cousin gave me a set of postcards from the 1987 version of the TV series "Dream of Red Mansions". Zhang Shuan copied the postcards of Sister Lin, Sister Bao, and Feng Lazi...

Sister Lin, who loved to cry when she was young, liked her frankness, her intelligence, her sentimentality, her poetic and artistic expression, and even Even the occasional harsh words have become the beauty in my eyes and heart. If a friend dares to say something bad about Daiyu in front of me, I can argue and debate with them at all costs, and list a bunch of good things about Sister Lin to refute, and even think that we are not the same kind of people from now on. Can't be good friends.

As I get older and read The Red Mansion again, I will read every character in it with an appreciative eye. Daiyu, Xiangyun, Tanchun, Zijuan, Qingwen, etc. that I once liked in my eyes also have their limitations and shortcomings. Baochai, Miaoyu, Xiren, Mrs. Wang, Aunt Zhao, Grandma Liu, etc. who I didn't like when they were young also saw their sadness and difficulty.

After working, I quickly bought a copy of "A Dream of Red Mansions" with my first month's salary. The joy of getting the book in my hands is still fresh in my memory. From then on, I had my own copy of "Dream of Red Mansions", which I could read whenever I wanted. Now, the cover of that book is very old and the title page is yellowed, but I still can't bear to throw it away. And if you don’t watch it for a long time, you will feel empty in your heart.

"A Dream of Red Mansions" is really a magical book. Every age group will have a different experience when reading it. The beauty of words is not only reflected in the poems and songs in the book. "The pulse is thousands of miles long, but the grass and snakes are gray threads." Cao Xueqin used his unique and seemingly homely narrative to write about the vicissitudes of life. The unfinished Red Mansions has fascinated so many people. Zhang Ailing said: "There are three major hatreds in life: one is that the anchovies are prickly, the other is that the begonias are fragrant, and the third is that the Dream of Red Mansions is not over yet." Compared with the first two, for me, I don’t need to eat the anchovies, and I don’t need to smell the crabapples, but I can’t help but look at the Red Mansion.

For a period of time, I was obsessed with the various indexes and various inferences of Red Mansions, so that those articles about Red Mansions and Analysis of Red Mansions, which were both good and bad, would attract my attention. So far, when I open the web page, the articles that can make me stop and linger are often articles of this type.

Poetry, architecture, gardens, food, clothing, medicine, painting... everything is included, and "A Dream of Red Mansions" is more like an interesting encyclopedia. Some time ago, a friend recommended to me a set of audiobooks - "Jiang Xun Talks about the Dream of Red Mansions", and I never tire of listening to it. Decisively add it to WeChat and do housework on weekends while listening to Teacher Jiang Xun’s magnetic voice explaining Red Mansions. To say it is an auditory feast is no exaggeration.

I have also watched the 1987 version of the TV series "A Dream of Red Mansions" many times, and even watched the behind-the-scenes footage again and again. There are so many actors who will have a lifetime impact after playing "Red Mansions". After Xiaoxu, there was no more Daiyu. Ji Yu, who changed her name because she played Miaoyu and Qingwen, and An Wen, as well as the various stories those actors went through for their roles, fascinate me.

It is said that the actors who played the role in Red Mansions have been recalling this play throughout their lives. As an ordinary reader of "Dream of Red Mansions", I also understand what "it is difficult to wake up once you enter the Dream of Red Mansions".

Then continue to be obsessed with it, and read all kinds of life in this great novel.
