Mungkin bakalan cuap2 sendiri, tp klu ada yg mao nimbrung silahkan

Belon selesai baca, tp sudah di part ke 2 bacanya lama soalnya banyak distraction (i.e. crocheting, V6 ) Makin lama makin seru dan makin banyak bedanya sama filmnya.

Menurut temen yg dari China, emg Lin Yu Tang ini orang nya detail, sampe gue yg ce aja baca nya cape (emg malas sih baca deskripsi kadang2) dia cerita details banget soal ruangan, mejanya, curtain nya, soal perhiasan, soal baju, soal taman, semuanya details. Selain dari itu daku suka sama ceritanya. O iya karakter nya jauh lebih banyak, tp untung di halaman depan ada diagram siapa anak sapa... klu ga mabok jg.. hehehehehe.. da gitu sebagian namanya mandarin sebagian di terjemahin jadi english. Kayak Silverscreen, Dimfragrance, Littlejoy, Coldfragance... hehehehehe..

Spoiler buku, bahaya (khususnya yg mo baca)

nanti klu ada lagi di komen lagi disini

banyak2 quote aku suka nanti di cari dulu halamannya

olala nama pake setengah2, kenapa gak semua mandarin aje ye.....

Mr. Yao realized that he was ahead of his times, that it woul be unfair to let his daughters stand alone, trying to catch husbands, while the other girls of their generation had their parents' planning, forethoughts, and helos in finding the best young men of their age. Time was important, for the best young men were usually spoken for ahead. In other words, "free marriage" was to him a Utopian idea to toy with. Why, a modest girl would rather die unmarried than use her charms to hunt and capture a husband for herself! How cheap and undignified it appeared then, and how cheap and undignified it actually become as he saw it later!

In the present generation after Mulan, some of the best girls remain unmarried because times have changed. The best girls are too decent to go out hunting husbands for themselves, and their parents have lost the power to arrange matches with parents of desirable young men

In the old China, one's motive for being good lay in the desire to live worthily of one's family and preserve it name and fortune. Only so we can explain the strong moral tradition, the emphasis on conduct, and the platitudes and interminable moralizing that permeated literature and history from the classics down, and followed a person even to his coffin.

annie, nanti gue email yah, minta dulu sama dia

hihi jadi bos yg mo ngetikin

buset 500+ baca tulisan chinese begitu bisa kriting juga, palingan ntar gue baca skip2 or skimming yg mana susah buat tulisan chinese^^

aahh lagi sedih gue..

anak ce Mulan yg paling besar mati gara2 ikut demo revolusi, baru umur 15 thn...

Tin, yg dipilem itu abis di bab berapa?
gue kemaren skimming ebooknya....
trus yg si Shun Ya selingkuh itu di bab berapa?

film kecampur2, ga ikutin timeline buku bener2. paling akhir kayaknya sebab gue sampe skrg blon ketemu sama Li Hua. klu menurut temen gue juga kayaknya ga sampe selingkuh, dunno deh.. Mulan kacian deh abis kena tragedi...

gue kemaren baca yg bagian lo spoiler tag, tp cuma sekilas2, soalnya pas lagi cari2 si li hua itu, ntaran gue skimming2 lagi...

i know now why sunya have a mistress, still wrong of him, but Mulan did something... blon ketemu li hua sih, tp gue da curiga... dan temen gue jg blg gitu... hiks. nothing perfect.

weleh baca novelnya kok kayaknya menyesakkan dada.........
gue tunggu komen lo aja tin, siap2...

tin, kalo re-type bagi2 ya lho, mang yang doc chinesenya sampe segitu banyak ya? total berapa bab sih?

good news, gue dpt buku nya... I bought it hehehehheee.... ebay! tp blon sampe, mungkin 1-2 mg? dari US soalnya. klu buku ada ditangan kan gampang gue re-type jg ga dikejar2 sama library hehehehehhehee... btw, rada challenging jg re-type sebab luar biasa detail dan gue ga gitu suka baca soal politik jadi yah... klu nanti ada di skip gpp kali yah? hahahahahahaha.. namanya saduran bukan ketik ulang yah

btw, daku sudah ketemu li hua... mulan bener2 aneh, antara sangat modern dan sangat kuno. I got a little over 100 pages to go... haiizzz... bakal mixed feeling reviewnya sama karakter mulan. susah jadi reviewer yg objective yah... haiiizzz...
