There's a chinese saying that says "Shao bu du Shui hu, Lao bu
du san guo".
(Young shouldnt read Shui Hu Zhuang, Old shouldnt read San Guo Yan
Yi".)
It is bcos youngster read too much of Shui hu will act heroes, like
to pick fight with others.
Old ppl read too much San Guo will do all the cunning thing like
the ppl in the book.
Then a china girl tells me, actually HongLouMeng teaches ppl bad
things too. Esp for girls, she said from Hong Lou Meng, can learn
alot of "Gou xin dou jiao" tricks, which can actually be used in
modern life, like in office, where a lot of girls are
there.
