Twenty-Four Histories can be read, but it is official historical records. Naturally, it must omit the faults of the noble. Moreover, it rarely records the facts of the royal family. Some events are not recorded, and some are already distorted. In comparison, the biographies of ancient emperors and empresses more authentically and objectively reflect the history of the time. They complement the shortcomings of the Twenty-Four Histories and correct the biases of unofficial histories. They are worth reading. — Bai Shouyi
I have watched the TV series Kangxi Dynasty, adapted from your original work, and it was deeply moving. It was very rewarding. Kangxi was a great emperor, brilliant in talent and strategy, with outstanding achievements. Behind him stood a great woman—Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang. Without her, Kangxi could not have accomplished so much. She was truly remarkable. I hope you can write more excellent works like Kangxi Dynasty to inspire people and better serve the people. — Jiang Zemin and Erhuohe
