Dariush Posted July 2, 2008 at 03:45 PM Report Posted July 2, 2008 at 03:45 PM Hi there, I've read the whole 100 chapters (4 books) in English, and have read a teenagers 250pg version of the book in Chinese (one day hoping to read the whole Chinese classic but I'm not good enough just yet ) and am fairly familiar with the various themes and so on. May I ask by '自在' are you refering to someone being 'at ease' or 'at comfort'? (or) perhaps you meant '自由' (freedom) - which would make a lot more sense (in relations to the story)? Quote
