Like stars in the night sky, they shine brilliantly, intermingling and dazzling. The passage of time cannot erase their fame; the rise and fall of dynasties cannot diminish their immortal achievements. Among them are the wise and capable rulers who selected and appointed talents, the reform-minded ministers who strove for strength and governance, the valiant generals who wielded swords and swept across thousands of troops, the strategic advisors who planned with wisdom and foresight, and the loyal ministers who cared for the nation and offered honest counsel. They are the elite of our nation and the pride of our motherland. Of course, the river of Chinese history is also mixed with impurities—tyrants who ruled autocratically, indulged in luxury, and extorted the people; corrupt officials who embezzled and exploited the people's hard-earned wealth; and conspirators and treacherous ministers who, for their evil purposes, feigned loyalty and plotted in secret.
