Daiyu burned the manuscript as a memorial to their love. The relationship between Daiyu and Baoyu is the most unique and attractive place in A Dream of Red Mansions. There are so many girls around Brother Bao who are devoted to Daiyu. They are all rebellious and unwilling to indulge in worldly interests and fame and fortune. I don't look at past lives, only at the feelings of this life. Baoyu and Daiyu are the most different. When Daiyu came to Jia's house, she only told Baoyu many worries. Although Baoyu is a wan ku, he is a very savvy person, and Daiyu is even more transparent. At that time, they were like-minded, appreciated each other as bosom friends and cherished each other.
But it was these two men who were deceived by their elders. The last one was kept in the dark, full of joy and thought he could marry Sister Lin. The other died in tears in the boudoir on someone else's wedding night. She was heartbroken herself, thinking that she had been cheated by her beloved. She wrote those poems not for fame, but for her bosom friend. Now that my bosom friends are gone, what's the use of keeping heartbroken poems
