Features: In China's feudal society, the "Min" (official) served as an intermediary between the supreme ruler, the emperor, and the ruled, the common people. To the emperor, the Min were "officials who served the sovereign," tasked with alleviating the emperor's burdens. Throughout the history of China's various dynasties, countless renowned officials and capable generals left their names in history. The spirit of these historical figures undoubtedly deserves our learning and remembrance. In this book, all the characters we have selected can be considered as renowned officials and capable generals. For the unification of the nation, for the stability of society, and for the greater good of the nation, these individuals tirelessly struggled and worked. They embody the people-centered ideology and political wisdom of "the people are more important than the ruler" in Chinese history and culture. We have no intention of adding further comments on these historical figures or proposing new theories. We simply hope that our readers can, in their spare time after busy work, reconnect with them and feel the warmth of their lives. They may not all be great, but they are certainly respectable. Under the glow of bedside lights, you can immerse yourself in the dust of history and find a moment of spiritual relief. The sense of connection across centuries will make you forget all the frustrations of this bustling world. Of course, you can gain something from each character, or you can gain nothing at all—just rediscover the sealed history. But no matter what, when you read this book, your time will not be wasted.
