Why does "The Plum in the Golden Vase", an ancient novel, still hold value worth revisiting in today’s world, where attitudes toward sexuality have become increasingly open? Can the physical and emotional landscapes of men and women in the Ming Dynasty—extending from the material to the spiritual—still resonate with us in the 21st century? That is why Hakusuri and I would like to invite our listeners to join us in getting to know "The Plum in the Golden Vase" in a relaxed way and to experience a different approach to “unlocking” classical literature.
