About This Novel

Han Gui once traveled through time and became a descendant of the Han family in the Jin Dynasty during the Spring and Autumn Period, determined to seek immortality. On the way to find immortality, he witnessed one "short-term" splendor after another. ... He saw how Confucius went from the persistence of "Knowing that something is impossible but doing it" to the desolation of his old age, "It's so bad that I'm declining." Witnessed Shang Yang's thunderous tactics during the reform, and the bitter blood mist that ended with the car torn apart in the city. I heard Qu Yuan reciting the pathos of "Heavenly Questions" by the riverside, and saw his decisive and lonely figure at the moment when he was sinking into the river with his stone in his arms. I have also seen that when Li Bai was nineteen years old, he showed no sign of his spirit, "The great roc rises with the wind in one day, and soars ninety thousand miles away." At the age of sixty-one, he sat alone in a boat in the dim dusk, and wrote with trembling wrists, "The great roc flies to the sky and shakes the eight descendants, but the sky is unable to destroy it." I once passed by Du Fu who climbed Mount Tai at the age of twenty-four and sang with great ambition and pride, "I will be at the top of the mountain and see all the small mountains at a glance". He was ill in Kuizhou at the age of fifty-six. In the bleak autumn wind, he sighed over a cup of turbid wine, "Hard work hates the frost on the temples, and the new wine glass is filled with turbid wine." A man of thousands of years rises like stars and falls like dust. He finally sees eternal life at the end of history. ... What he seeks is immortality, but what he has passed through is the entire human world.
