Features: Amidst the drifting mists of history, generations of heroes chase the ebbing waves. Standing, they are mountains; lying down, they are ridges. Whether living or dead, they are magnificent and timeless landscapes that never fade. The generals in this book lived in different eras and developed in different spaces, yet their destinies share many astonishing similarities, similarities, or parallels. Tracing back to their roots, it is still the powerful inertia of traditional Chinese culture that is the cause. History moves forward, society develops, but the complex, contradictory, and conflicting human nature does not keep pace with it. In fashionable terms, it is lagging behind. The human nature and character of the pre-Qin era and ours—can we say there is already an earth-shaking difference? Therefore, the five-thousand-year-old historical and cultural elders repeatedly narrate and vividly depict are nothing but the eternal stories of human truth, evil, beauty, and ugliness. History is drama, and the social operational forms of different eras are the stages of this drama. The heroes are both products of their times and born for their era, but they are also their own choices, choosing the roles that fit them perfectly on the historical stage. How we wish they could all have a good beginning and a good ending, and withdraw intact! But hope is just hope, and history is still history. History is often absurd, often does not follow the rules of drama, and its results are often beyond expectation. This may be the very law of history. No matter how, the truth of absurdity is far better than perfect fiction, and known evil is always better than unknown evil. This is perhaps the meaning of historical memory! This book lists the historical stories of famous generals from different dynasties, including Wu Zixu fleeing to Wu, Wu Qi killing his wife, Lian Po aging, Bai Qi executing surrendered soldiers, Li Mu no longer exists, Han Xin crawling under his pants, Zhou Yafu fasting to death, and Li Guang being unable to be enfeoffed.
