What will you do?

Don't be too excited about this. Because it would claim your life.

And this is the secret of China, too. 

The inspiration came from an old story about Bian He. 

Who is Bian He?

Bian He is the first Chinese hero who thought that he must have found the secret of beauty.  

He had found a large piece of stone somewhere. He thought that the beautiful is within the stone. He decided to dedicate the stone to the emperor. 

He had not said anything about the jade or the content inside the stone. He had found something extremely important and he would use his own blood to work for it.

The emperor ordered his solder to cut off one of Bian He’s leg and threw him out of the palace with the stone. 

He must be a very determined person. 

He came to the palace again, because the emperor was dead. Another emperor was ruling the country. 

The second emperor did the same thing. He ordered to have his other leg be cut off. He was thrown out of the palace with the stone the second time.

Bian He dared not to enter the palace again the third time. He was just weeping outside the palace. 

What is inside the stone? Suddenly a question appeared. 

The third emperor ordered to have the stone cut open, and found the most beautiful piece of jade in Chinese history inside the stone. 

History did not mention the final fate of Bian He. The piece of Jade was lost somewhere sometime during a war. The piece of Jade was never seen again. What remains is the image of beauty, which is still there in the minds of the Chinese people. It will not be forgotten. Yet it was always a deep puzzle in the minds that why Bian He wanted to dedicate the stone to the emperors, and what was in his mind by that time. 

History had lapsed for another two thousand years until a great Novel was written by an unknown person and the book is “The story of a Stone”, which also is known as “Dream of a Red Chamber”. The book is another puzzle in Chinese history. Only a few people would agree that the book is about the determination of the jade which is the secret of beauty. And the secret of beauty might be part of the Chinese Spirit.  

One last word about the great  Philosopher Nu Wa, She had found that the universe is not balanced and need to balance it with a material.  

She used stone. 

That might be the hint for the unknown writer to write "The story of a stone",  i.e., "Dream of a red Chamber".  

And the unknown writers are not Cao Xue Qin and Gao E the merchant, which was the fabricated version of Hu Shi under extremely strong  political considerations from the United States. The writer is an unknown person who had determined not to release his own name.
