Lantai Dream Comes True: Ban Gu's Biography
by Quan Haifan
About This Novel
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Ban Gu followed the "Historical Records" written by Sima Qian, the Taishi of the Western Han Dynasty, and complied with the last wish of his father Ban Biao to write the "Book of Han". This book is a biography of Ban Gu. It uses vivid literary language to write about his life, clarify his aspirations, and reproduce Ban Gu's tortuous and extraordinary life. It aims to carry forward its huge cultural and academic contributions as well as its cultural personality and academic spirit of not admiring glory, being unswerving, poor, self-sufficient, and miserable in business. These qualities are in the same vein as Sima Qian, the author of "Historical Records", who is "the swan song of historians and the rhymeless lisao".
