I have to thank Gao E, his successor. Although he couldn't keep up with Cao Xueqin's thoughts in many aspects, he at least let Daiyu die. Whether she died or not, at least she left Baoyu, which is very good.
It's not that I'm born cruel and like to watch other people's tragedies, but isn't there a saying? An old frontiersman loses his horse—a blessing in disguise. For a fragile feudal girl like Dai Yu, death is her liberation, the end of all her tragedies and her happiness. When she slept quietly in the ground and watched Baoyu still looking for a way out on earth, I had to say that she was still happy.
Maybe two people are romantic people, and romantic people should not meet each other by nature, because life is not romantic, and life will kill romance completely. Finally, the red rose turned into mosquito blood on the wall, and the white rose turned into white rice stuck to the chest. So, let romance come to an end at the most beautiful time and leave beautiful memories in each other's hearts.
But you might say that Daiyu's death was tragic and not romantic at all. In this respect, I don't approve of Gao E's sequel. Maybe Cao Xueqin didn't mean it. Maybe Daiyu really should shed tears to prove the front. Isn't this better? She was worried about Baoyu and wept bitterly for her bosom friend. After careful consideration, such a death is noble and sacred. However, Gao E did not write this. He finally made Daiyu vulgar, resentful and furious. This is not like the arrogant and self-admiring Daiyu we know, but like an ordinary woman who is frustrated in love.
Nevertheless, she finally left this trouble spot before Jia Fu collapsed, otherwise, because of her fragility, I'm afraid she couldn't stand such a big stimulus. Baoyu is a dude. He is not a man of indomitable spirit. He can give Daiyu little, let alone protection and comfort. He is still a weak person who needs protection from others, and Daiyu can't be happy around him.
So it is a kind of happiness to leave him memories. Baoyu himself can only give Daiyu a few good words. He's not even obsessed. Looking at Baochai's fate, I have to say that Daiyu is happy. Of course, some people say that Baochai only wants Grandma Bao's throne and doesn't care about Baoyu. Is that so? Is there a woman who naturally likes loneliness? Anyway, it is always painful to live alone. Besides, it is still a question whether she took the so-called grandmother Bao's throne.
If Jia Fu fails, at least Baochai still has a place to live, at least she has no husband and wealth, but isn't that right? Finally, Jia Fu was reduced to the point where the white land was really clean. What is the significance of the title of Grandma Bao Er to Baochai? Without a happy life and the care of her husband, isn't it a greater tragedy to live alone and die alone?
I always suspected that Baoyu didn't leave Jiafu because of Daiyu, otherwise he wouldn't have married Baochai. He was born at last, because his world had undergone earth-shaking changes, his ivory tower collapsed, and he finally understood his struggle. In fact, all his thoughts are on his family, and his family has collapsed, and everything is finished. Without any thoughts and struggles, he had to run away from home, perhaps to avoid disaster.
Imagine, can you imagine Daiyu washing her hands and cooking soup? Dressed in rags and skirts, and even relying on the relief of attacking people, then of course she can no longer be mean and gossip, but can only cry alone, not about love, but about life. When life has put a huge question mark on Baodai's love, can Daiyu still love Baoyu as always? I don't think so. I'm afraid the Longwang Temple will be flooded. Then Baoyu finally couldn't stand the pressure at home and left, which is very possible. He can't afford to live without taking good care of Baochai. The same is true of Daiyu.
Another possibility is that if Jia Fu can regroup, Gui Lan and Qi Fang, Dai Yu and Baoyu still live their happy lives, after many years, Baoyu may suddenly find his face wrinkled, then he will find the attacker around him like Aunt Zhao, and then his love will pass away in the years, and then Baoyu will recall that round and smooth baby sister.
In fact, love is very short. At least this kind of cross love gives us a lot of beautiful fantasies and expectations, just like Jack to Ross. He is the most beautiful memory in her life, but not the only one.
