Can we not be sad in Chinese novels?

Often, they have complex and poignant character relationships. For example, in 'Dream of the Red Chamber', the relationships among the many characters in the Jia family are full of contradictions and misunderstandings, which lead to sad outcomes.

Yes. Many Chinese novels are humorous or inspiring. Take some martial arts novels for instance. The heroes in them often have high martial arts skills and chivalrous hearts. They fight against evil forces and protect the weak. The process is full of excitement and positive energy, not sadness.

Sure! Many Chinese novels have elements that bring hope and positive emotions, helping us not to be sad.

One of the sad Chinese novels is 'Dream of the Red Chamber'. It depicts the rise and fall of a large family, and the tragic fates of many characters, especially the love between Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu that ends in a heart - breaking way.

Betrayal can be a theme as well. When one character feels betrayed by the other, either because of false accusations or actions that seem to go against their relationship, it adds a layer of sadness. This can lead to a breakdown in their relationship and a lot of emotional pain for both characters involved.

DJ193's Sentimental Chinese skewers were a type of musical composition. It used an affectionate rhythm and delicate arrangement to wrap sad emotions in the notes. These works could trigger people's emotional resonance, allowing people to shuttle between happiness and sadness, and feel the stories and emotions conveyed by music. Although the specific song and content were not mentioned, it could be inferred that DJ193's sad Chinese skewers could touch the depths of people's hearts and make people think and feel.

I recommend a few melancholic and sad Chinese novels to you. They are Red Dust Tears: The Dream of the Ming Palace, Treasure Gathering Space, and Remembrance of the Rest of My Life. I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~😗

Another sad Chinese BL novel is 'Heaven Official's Blessing'. It has a complex plot where the main characters face numerous difficulties. Their love is often tested by fate, society and their own pasts, making it a rather sad but beautiful story.

One Chinese sad story is about the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. They are in love but are separated by the Milky Way and can only meet once a year. It shows the cruelty of fate.

Your sad story might be that on your Chinese birthday, you couldn't find any place that served the special Chinese birthday food you were craving. It can be really disappointing when you're looking forward to something like that.
