Hello again, my name is Grace Mann, and it is my privilege to bring you another Ancient Tale of Wisdom – Life is like a Dream.
Qian Yang, from Wuxi City, Jiangso Province, was a renowned scholar from the Qing Dynasty. He was very knowledgeable regarding classic and old stone tablets and made a living engraving notes and writings.
One day he had a dream. In the dream, he was in a mansion, and his servant boys, wife, and concubines came to greet him. They said, “Your two sons are in the capital taking the exam, and we just had three more grandchildren.
