Features: A recompilation of "The Hidden Rules" and "The Law of Blood Price." Wu Si's writing is engaging and easy to read, yet his penetrating insights often leave one chilled to the bone, difficult to swallow, and weighing heavily on the heart. Wu Si belongs to a small group on the mainland, but together they form a cultural foundation as vast and profound as a highland plateau. The rediscovery of facts in this book confronts the realities we turn a blind eye to, and this revelation shocks us. The style of this book is primarily narrative, supplemented by background introductions, with various analyses and calculations interwoven. In my personal experience, this tripartite structure—narrative, background introductions, and analysis/calculations—is highly suitable for dissecting human scenarios, which I call "dealing with the situation." If the historical game is the subject of explanation, and the interactions between the parties in the game must unfold sequentially, presenting a dynamic structure that evolves over time, then narrative naturally occupies the central position. Analysis and calculation are tools for understanding or predicting outcomes and their equilibrium states. Background introductions help us step outside the situation, broaden our multidimensional perspective, establish relationships between different times and spaces, and express the nesting and interweaving of multiple games.
