Features: A different perspective on Cao Cao, a must-read for those aspiring to achieve hegemony. Chen Shunren, a renowned Japanese-Chinese writer, conquers Japan with this masterpiece. Cao Cao is one of the most controversial figures in Chinese history. In novels, stories, and dramas, he has been portrayed with exaggerated makeup, twisted appearances, and depicted as a cruel, hypocritical, treacherous, and arrogant villain. However, Mr. Chen Shunren, with his profound historical perspective and powerful writing style, returns to the official records, cites poetry and literature, and uses a novelist's perspective to fill in the facts that might have occurred beneath the surface of history, exploring the hidden truths. The author deliberately omitted parts that were too fictional, focusing more on Cao Cao's domestic life, hoping to guide readers to further reflect on their relationship with themselves, their families, and the times.
