Peter was still busy with his own career in the early days when the Huo brothers and sisters studied A Dream of Red Mansions. He only used his spare time to help his wife borrow books to check information, which also benefited Huo Guoling a lot. One day, Huo Guoling decided that Joo Sang wook in A Dream of Red Mansions gave birth to a son for Yongzheng, and the time should be 1 1 year, so he asked her husband to check the history. The next day, before Peter came home from work, he said excitedly and loudly, "Guo Ling, I got it, I got it. Your findings are absolutely correct. Yongzheng 1 1 year, a prince named Hong was born! " Hearing this, Huo Guoling beamed with joy.
1989, Huo Guoling co-authored A Dream of Red Mansions (first edition) with his younger brother, with a print run of 28,000 copies, breaking the record of one-time printing of academic works since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
