Lin Daiyu (Part 2) In various versions of A Dream of Red Mansions, Jia Baoyu, the son of Rong who was born with jade, and the second son of Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang, was regarded as the apple of his eye by the court and placed high hopes on him. However, he embarked on the road of rebellion, hated stereotyped writing, criticized Zhu Cheng's Neo-Confucianism, and branded those who studied as officials as "traitor Lv Kun". He doesn't like serious books, but prefers miscellaneous books such as Peony Pavilion and The West Chamber. [1] He hangs out with the girls at home all day, loves their beauty and purity, and laments their tragic fate.
