Features: The book narrates the entire history of Genghis Khan, from his family background, childhood, to his military campaigns until his death. It reveals to us that a nation, through its own efforts, can transform from weakness to strength and from backwardness to advancement. This is true not only for China but for any nation in the world. This insight is meaningful for future generations. The book is not a historical treatise but a biographical work on a historical figure. However, as a biographical work on a historical figure, there are two aspects to consider: "history" and "biography." Regarding history, the translator is an outsider, so the only approach is to be honest and serious, avoiding dogmatism and fabrication, and striving to ensure that specialized translations are well-supported by references. For this reason, during the translation process, the translator read and referred to seven or eight historical treatises and consulted relevant chapters from "The World History" and "The History of China."
