Six chapters of a floating life -----Shen Fu's Yun,the loveliest In LYT's eyes, the comment is damned good as below---too long to demonstrate fully I think,is one of the loveliest women in Chinese literature.She is not the most beautiful.for the author.her husban,does not make that claim, and yet who can deny that she is the loveliest? She is just one of those charming women one sometimes sees in the homes of one's friends,so happy with their husbands that one cannot fall in love with them. One is glad merely to know that such a woman exists in the world and to know her as a friend's wife, to be accepted in her household, to be able to come uninvited to her home for lunch,or to have put a blanket around one's legs when one falls asleep while she is discussing painting and literature and cucumbers in her womannish manner with her husband........ She is hardworking to support her mother and younger brother's tuition punctually by needlework. She is also clever to be a self-taught girl on learning how to read and write a poetry.She is gentle and not so beautiful but slim.She is the one who win Shen FU's heart as well as his mother's.She fits the ideal of man's mind.And she also wins our reader's love. After married, She presents a well-mannered quality even in their intimate relationship. She is humorous who can share the beautiful view with her husband and make it more romantic and poetic by making jokes and composing poems.What a gorgeous picture the two showed for us! She is the one who knows how to enjoy life and how to make life a nicer one. To SF's surprise,She really succeed in finding a girl,not only beautiful but also charm for him(she once saw a beauty but the girl has no charm in her point of view)meanwhile,the girl is consented to be the concubine.But later she was compelled to marry a man infulential. Although the arrangement did not come off in time,she did give it a try. Anyhow,i am narrow-minded,if i were her,it is surely impossible. That's why i can not be the loveliest one but she can. lol "For i truly believe that a humble life happily lived is the most beautiful thing in the universe."
