บทความใน Telegraph ที่เขียนถึงวรรณกรรมอมตะของจีน ความฝันในหอแดง
What is so special about this work? Why does it continue to cast its spell on todays Chinese readers? One has to try to imagine a book that combines the qualities of Jane Austen brilliantly observed accounts of Chinese psychology and personality, meticulous depiction of an aristocratic Chinese/Manchu household with the grand sweep of a novel such as Vanity Fair or the works of Balzac. Its mood is allegorical, lyrical and philosophical. It leaves the reader with a visionary experience of the human condition, comparable to that of Proust. Its a blend of Zen Buddhism and Taoism with the underlying theme of seeing through the Red Dust beyond the illusion of earthly reality.
