Features: The author, Li Xingbin, is a self-taught scholar who excels in researching ancient military strategies. Due to joining the army at a young age and experiencing the ten-year "Cultural Revolution," he was unable to attend university or pursue graduate studies at the right time. However, he never gave up his academic aspirations. Originally working as a military doctor in the army, he diligently fulfilled his duties while deeply studying the theoretical works of Comrade Mao Zedong, including his famous military writings. During this period, he developed profound admiration and reverence for the military artistry demonstrated by Comrade Mao in commanding revolutionary forces in numerous awe-inspiring, world-altering campaigns. Clearly, this laid a solid foundation in military theory and knowledge for his later dedicated study of ancient Chinese military strategies.
"The Art of War" is a great classic of military and philosophical thought in ancient China. Over 2,500 years ago, two sages emerged on the land of Qi and Lu: Confucius, the Sage of Culture, and Sun Tzu, the Sage of War. The "Analects" and "The Art of War" were two great works of the same era, both exerting enormous and positive influences on later generations. The wisdom they radiate once illuminated the path of ancient China, where its cultural and military prowess shone brightly in the world. In the modern era of construction, with correct interpretation and creative application by the new generation of leaders, their brilliance will shine even more brilliantly!
