Reading The Story of the Stone, vol.3: The Warning Voice | Alexandria
Read The Story of the Stone, vol.3: The Warning Voice by Cao Xueqin. Revealing humanity's deepest longings, The Warning Voice pierces conventional wisdom by showing how excess breeds emptiness - even as we chase pleasure. Through lavish scenes of decadence, Cao illuminates the paradox that seeking happiness directly leads to suffering. His genius lies in proving that true joy comes from accepting life's impermanence.
