Haven't Written Diaries for a While

Nice job. Reading A Dream of Red Mansions seems like a big project. I'm not sure if I would have to patience to do it. haha. I rewrote the passage and changed a few small things to make it sound more natural:

This Monday marked the beginning of summer. I had planned to finish reading A Dream of Red Mansions before summer and I did it. I think spring is the best season to read this book. Four of the main female characters have "春“ (the character for spring) in their names, and at the end of the book all of them are either dead or forced to move far away from home. The "end of spring" represents the end of the once prosperous family. While reading the book, I always pitted the women who had no rights in their feudal society. Although  I was always moved by the love story, but the book is so much more than that. It reflects the power struggle in the royal court during the Qing Dynasty, which was also very intriguing to me. If you want to understand the metaphors behind the words, you need to do a lot of research, so reading a masterpiece like this is as much torment as it is enjoyment. Spring is gone and summer is here. Now I need to prepare for an important exam, which is not at all enjoyable, but very useful.
