II: A Dream of Red Mansions （March 2nd）
JIA Baoyu visits the great void dreamland, where he gets the music and lyrics of The Dream of Red Mansions.
The imperial concubine Yuanchun gives away Dragon Boat Festival presents, showing her support for the “engagement”. Daiyu feels sad and buries fallen flowers.
WANG Xifeng hounds Second Sister YOU to death, bringing about a thorough search of the Grand View Garden. The imperial concubine Yuanchun dies, and Baoyu’s psychic jade is lost. Yingchun passes away, Tanchun marries far, Xiangyun and Baochai move out, and Baoyu goes insane. WANG Xifeng offers advice to arrange a “warding-off” wedding with the bride stealthily substituted for another.
Sister Fool spills the beans, and Daiyu gets to know the truth of marriage. She then burns the handkerchief down and perishes. Baoyu steps into the bridal chamber, only to know that he has been cheated.
The JIA Family’s property is confiscated on an imperial order—WANG Xifeng dies with shame, Miaoyu is kidnapped, the Lady Dowager passes away, Xichun becomes a nun, and Xiangyun is widowed. The Grand View Garden is deserted in a flash.
Baoyu, in bad health, goes to the Bamboo Lodge to hold a memorial ceremony for Daiyu. In a trance, he seems to see Daiyu’s ghost, and suddenly understands: life is nothing more than a long dream. As a rock that has “strayed into the world of mortals and stayed there for many years”, he has experienced the sweets and bitters of life and finally returned to the wildernesses of space in search of immortals.
