Blog prompt for Mar 25

My topic of the research paper is "The world under Cao Xueqing's writing". Actually it was written hundreds of years ago, but right now there are still so many scholars studying this novel. It is not only because this novel has potential meanings of life, but also this novel describes the whole society in that dynasty. Until now, almost no writer can write as Cao Xueqin did. The most important reason why I choose this book as my project is that most of the scholars believe that "The Story of The Stone" represents the top of the Chinese writing. It describes hundreds of people's personalities and the family's rise and fall, which potentially represents the rise and fall of the dynasty and its different kinds of people. Today, there are many directors who want to make a movie of this book, but they are afraid that probably they won't make it well because when people read "The Story of the Stone", everyone has different images about it. If the directors make movies, they would limit these images by the actors and actresses. Also, when people perceive a book as classic, they also compare it with "The Story of the Stone" automatically. Therefore I think it is valuable to make it as my project.
