Features: Emperor Wu of Han, an extraordinary Chinese emperor, once composed a series of passionate notes in the symphony of the Chinese nation's history. He launched campaigns against the Xiongnu with the Western Union and the Wuzhu, marched into the Gobi Desert to seal the Wolf's Nest, pacified the four seas and appeased his subjects, and his might shook the passes and his fame spread among the five barbarian tribes. Behind these brilliant strategies and wisdom was a man with seven emotions and six desires, yearning for true love, a filial son and father who valued family and education, and an ordinary mortal who sought immortality. This book depicts the scenes of blood and fire in the early years of the first century AD in a literary style, bringing to life the flesh-and-blood men and women of the Han Dynasty's history, and trulying the eternal merits and faults of Emperor Wu of Han as a great leader.
