The representative figure in "A Dream of Red Mansions" is that "the heart is as high as the sky and life is as thin as paper".

Qingwen.

Qingwen, a character in the Chinese classical novel "A Dream of Red Mansions", is the first of the twelve beauties of Jinling and one of the four maids in Jia Baoyu's room. Although she is a maid, she is in Baoyu's room. Live the life of a wealthy lady. It is generally said in Hong Kong that she is like Lin Daiyu. She is charming and smart, with eyebrows and eyebrows that look a bit like Lin Daiyu's. She is articulate and is particularly good at needlework. She once repaired Baoyu's sick golden fur. She was originally a maid from Lai's mother's family. Because she was loved by Jia's mother, she was given Baoyu. Because he was pampered, he developed an unreasonable and unforgiving character.

Once Mrs. Wang went into the garden and saw her beating and scolding the little maid. She felt that she was not in line with the upbringing of the aristocratic family. In addition, Wang Shanbao's family and other villains were slandering her. When she was ill, Mrs. Wang "did not touch rice or water for four or five days." When his teeth were broken, he was pulled off the kang and forced out (let him out). Before she died, Qingwen was deeply moved by Jia Baoyu's visit, so she bit off two of her long nails and gave them to him along with a cotton-padded jacket beside her. After her death, Jia Baoyu wrote "Elegy of Lotus Daughter" to commemorate her.

Extended information:

One of the causes of Qingwen's death was her inability to act correctly. Qingwen was assigned by Jia Mu to serve Baoyu very early, but Mrs. Wang didn't recognize her, so she didn't have a bad impression of her even if she didn't like her. However, Qingwen's overstepping of rules and improper education of Zhui'er who stole things made Mrs. Wang feel that she was too arrogant and left a particularly bad impression on her. As a result, Mrs. Wang had someone evict her from the house when Qingwen was seriously ill and unable to stay.

The second cause of Qingwen's death was lack of scruples in speaking and doing things. Qingwen has an upright character and is straightforward. In a society that valued feudal etiquette at that time, such behavior was undoubtedly a taboo for those in power. It is easy to offend people. When Qingwen is angry, even Baoyu won't look good on her. Therefore, Qingwen offends Wang Baoshan's family and commits crimes, so that she will be driven out of the Grand View Garden in the end. Not surprising.
