Description
Another iconic chapter of the Qing classic novel Dream of the Red Chamber (Hong lou meng 紅樓夢)! In this dream within a dream, Baoyu navigates a series of physical and social obstructions on his way to visit the ailing Xue Baochai. Baoyu and Baochai prepare to compare jewels, Baoyu to show Baochai his precious jade, Baochai to show Baoyu her golden locket. What psychological and cosmic significance is represented in this fateful exchange? Is there any remedy to the wuxing 五行 pill Kevin has consumed? Are all systems of totalizing meaning a kind of madness? Is to dream and to record one's dreams a socially-accepted form of conspiracy mongering?
