"Everyone says that immortals are good, and fame can't be forgotten" is the first sentence of the novel "Good Songs" in A Dream of Red Mansions, which aims to reveal the world's persistence and obsession with fame and fortune. In the eyes of the world, the immortal is a symbol of freedom and carefree, but even so, many people still can't give up the pursuit of fame. Because fame represents the promotion of social status, the realization of personal value, and the satisfaction of being recognized and respected by society. However, excessive pursuit of fame and fortune often leads people to lose themselves and even sacrifice other important aspects of life, such as family, friendship and love.
By comparing the freedom of immortals with the world's obsession with fame and fortune, this paper expresses the criticism of people's excessive attention to material interests and social status, and warns people to treat fame and fortune correctly and not to sacrifice real happiness for temporary glory.
