Cao Xueqin wrote a dream of Red Mansions, a famous classic of Chinese literature, under the circumstances of adversity. After experiencing the changes of the bureaucratic aristocratic family, which had been flourishing for hundreds of years, he saw the rise and fall of the feudal ruling class and the irreparable fate, and felt that he was not born at the right time, Cao Xueqin was determined to write a novel handed down from generation to generation. However, Cao Xueqin, who was in adversity, encountered difficulties that we can hardly imagine today. In feudal society, the only "right way" for scholars was to read classics and take imperial examinations. Writing novels was regarded as "unworthy" and "incompetent". At that time, the literary inquisition was prevalent in the Qing Dynasty. If he was careless in writing, he would offend the ruling class, or even exile, At that time, in addition to the material hardships such as lack of food and clothing, the spiritual torture was particularly unbearable. The upper rulers and literati were used to looking for shadows from novels, guessing what they "alluded to" and exposing which secret. Cao Xueqin wrote a book about "blaming the world and scolding the time", Cao Xueqin was dissatisfied by his people and suspicious by the rulers. In addition to two or three friends who supported him, the world thought he was a "fool" and "madman". The rulers even demolished his house and made him move several times to stop his writing activities. Facing such adversity, Cao Xueqin did not retreat, but only learned from it and worked harder to write, He has not been frightened by hunger, nor stopped writing because he was short of money to buy paper, nor written rashly because he was poor and bullied. He devoted all his efforts to the writing of a dream of Red Mansions. In adversity, he "read two years, add and delete five times", and finally wrote a dream of Red Mansions, which is praised by the world
