A thousand miles to build a long shed, a banquet that never ends. Who said that?
Lin Hongyu. Lin Hongyu famously said in A Dream of Red Mansions that there is a long shed that never ends. Jia's maid changed her name to Xiaohong because the jade word in her name violated the taboo of Daiyu and Baoyu. This sentence appears in chapter 26 of the novel. At the peak of Jia's life, Xiaohong expressed such feelings, showing her sober foresight of Jia's decline.
