Dream of the Red Chamber Continued, Volume 1
Dream of the Red Chamber Continued (補紅樓夢)
Readers could not accept the ending of Dream of the Red Chamber, and many wrote sequels. In this one, Lin Daiyu and the other dead girls live on in the world of spirits, Baoyu's family recovers, and the story continues where Cao Xueqin's left off. It is a fascinating view of how the first fans reshaped the great novel. This first volume picks up after the original ending. This complete new English translation is published in two volumes; this is Volume 1 of 2, and the whole set is also available as a bundle. It is one of the long narratives that shaped Chinese fiction, full of household detail, comedy and grief, and it reads straight through like any great novel.
