Reading The Story of the Stone, vol.4: The Debt of Tears | Alexandria
Read The Story of the Stone, vol.4: The Debt of Tears by Cao Xueqin. Following a cursed jade through an aristocratic Chinese family's downfall, this epic novel reveals how material obsessions mask deeper spiritual hungers. Far ahead of its time, it exposes wealth's inability to shield us from life's fundamental impermanence - a lesson eerily relevant to today's consumption-driven culture.
