aha, what stress for exam, still got time read storybooks. nah i've only juz started it today. so basically, it's about this gal from the poorest province of china competed her way thru to bcum concubine bla bla bla seduce and have sex with the emperor and finally bear him a son. and with lots of power-hungry concubines trying to plot murders to make sure they get to the throne, leading to the downfall of some sort of dynasty.
yeah, it sounds so much like all those TVB hongkong drama like "War and Beauty". but this is a book ok. language used to describe a story is always much more beautiful. only a few pages of reading, and i've already love it! Anchee Min is reli good in her usage of sentences to picture a scene. i always appreciate those lil details of a writer's imagination. there was this part she described a character who dressed up magnificently but din seem to love taking baths. and she was infested with lice, scratching her armpits raw and crushing those creatures with her teeth.
ewwww..... lol.
and only den i knew an Emperor has about 3000 concubines fretting around the Forbidden City. some din even get to mate with him. urgh. rich guys are so limited during that times, i assume. that's y the gals were dying to get in there. coz even if they're ignored completely, they still get annual taels.
and i bet u know this, eunuch is always a castrated boy coz the emperor wished to be the only sole-seed bearer. lol that sounded so damn funny, but it's the exact words the author used. he din wanna have his sperms being replaced by someone else. sweet.
am gonna continue reading it after finishing my exams. argh!!
PS: leehom's Man in The Mirror is a must-listen!!!!!
PSS: see previous PS, kakaaa
