Features: This book is a biographical story that vividly records the life of Xin Qiji, a great patriotic poet, outstanding statesman, and military strategist of China. In his youth, Xin Qiji set the patriotic ambition to resist the Jin forces and reclaim lost lands. At the age of 22, he raised an army and later joined the Geng Jing Uprising Army, fighting bravely against the Jin forces and gaining fame across the Yangtze River region. After returning to the Southern Song Dynasty, despite being falsely accused and marginalized, experiencing ups and downs, he remained undeterred, persisting in his ideal of resisting the Jin and restoring the nation. He poured his heart into writing renowned political and military treatises such as "The Ten Arguments of Mei Qin" and "The Nine Discussions." He also created a large body of rich and diverse poetry, especially the more than 620 poems that have been passed down to this day. These works are both bold and heroic yet tender and graceful, achieving exceptional artistic heights and are widely recognized as masterpieces of Song Dynasty poetry.
