Hua Xiren
Hua Xiren, also known as Aroma or Pervading Fragrance, is a major character in the classic 18th century Chinese novel Dream of the Red Chamber. She is the chief maid of Jia Baoyu, the novel's protagonist. Xiren is portrayed as highly intelligent, diligent, and thoughtful, and all of her masters — Grandmother Jia, Shi Xiangyun, and Baoyu — are fond of her. In contrast to her partner Qingwen, Xiren is often seen as an upholder of repressive feudal values.
