In "Dream of Red Mansions", a literary masterpiece sung through the ages, there are many characters and complex plots, and the character of Grandma Liu, with her unique identity and witty personality, has become one of the beautiful landscapes. So, why did this old woman from the countryside travel thousands of miles to set foot in that prosperous and dream-like Grand View Garden? Let us walk into the world of "Dream of Red Mansions" and explore the story behind Grandma Liu.
1. The old woman in the countryside is forced by life
Grandma Liu, an ordinary old woman living in the countryside, has a poor family and a difficult life. She makes a living from farming on weekdays, works at sunrise and rests at sunset, although her life is hard, but she is also happy. However, as she grew older, she gradually felt powerless, and her family's life became more and more stretched. Under the pressure of life, Grandma Liu had to start thinking about how to improve the family's financial situation.
By chance, Grandma Liu learned of the existence of the wealthy family of Jiafu. She heard that the owner of Jiafu, Jia's mother, was a noble lady who was kind and generous, and often helped the poor people. So, Grandma Liu had an idea in her heart: maybe she could get some alms by visiting Jiafu to alleviate the plight of her family.
Second, when I first entered the Grand View Garden, I was overjoyed
With apprehension and anticipation, Grandma Liu took her grandson Ban'er and embarked on the road to Jiafu. After a long journey, she finally came to this magnificent Grand View Garden. The first time she stepped into the Grand View Garden, Grandma Liu was shocked by the scene in front of her: pavilions, pavilions, water pavilions, flower bridges, rockeries and strange stones, and green bamboos...... Each place reveals a different style and elegance.
Under the reception of Jia's mother, Grandma Liu was warmly entertained. Jia's mother not only gave her a lot of money, but also let her live in the house for a few days. In this short time together, Grandma Liu felt unprecedented warmth and care. She found that although the people here were noble, they were not as arrogant and indifferent as she imagined. On the contrary, they were all very kind and welcoming, making her feel very welcome.
3. Wisdom and kindness win respect
During her days in the Grand View Garden, Grandma Liu showed her extraordinary wisdom and kindness. She is not only good at observing words and feelings, knows how to maneuver between wealthy and nobles, but also can stand up at critical moments to solve problems for Jiafu.
Once, an ancient tree in the Grand View Garden fell ill, its leaves yellowed, and its branches shriveled. When everyone was helpless, Grandma Liu took the initiative to ask Ying, saying that she knew some ways to treat trees. Under the careful care of Grandma Liu, this ancient tree miraculously regained its vitality. This incident has improved Grandma Liu's status in Jiafu, and she has won the respect and love of everyone.
In addition, Grandma Liu is also good at resolving contradictions. She is well aware of the complexity of disputes between wealthy families and nobles, so she can always use her wisdom and kindness to resolve conflicts and maintain harmony and stability within Jiafu. Her wisdom and kindness not only won the love and respect of everyone in Jiafu, but also made her a legendary figure.
Fourth, go deep into the Grand View Garden, and fall in love
Over time, Grandma Liu established a deep relationship with everyone in the Grand View Garden. She not only became friends with noble ladies such as Jia Mu and Wang Xifeng, but also established a close relationship with the maids and servants in the house. They chatted together, worked together, and shared the joys, sorrows, and sorrows of life together. During this time, Grandma Liu felt unprecedented happiness and satisfaction.
However, the good times were short-lived. With the passage of time, Jiafu gradually decayed, and the prosperity of the past gradually disappeared. Although Grandma Liu was sad in her heart, she also understood that this was a fact that could not be changed. When she left the Grand View Garden, she couldn't help but feel emotional: this was the best time in her life, and it was also her most unforgettable memory.
Conclusion: The indissoluble bond between Grandma Liu and the Grand View Garden
Looking back on Grandma Liu's experience of setting foot in the Grand View Garden, it is not difficult to find that the reason why she went to the Grand View Garden was not only to improve the family's economic situation, but also to find a sense of belonging and identity. In the big family full of warmth and love, she found her place and value. She has won the respect and love of everyone with her wisdom and kindness, and has also made her life glow with new brilliance.

Only in this way can we find our own happiness and joy in the face of adversity, just like Grandma Liu.
