It has been nearly half a month, and I have finished reading without realizing it. Unfortunately, I still have more to say. Over the past 500 years, heroes have appeared in this fertile land, and heroes have appeared everywhere, each showing his talents. A rich and colorful drama of life and death is being staged, but what it brings to this nation is faith and legend. I am really lucky to be born in China. In the end, I couldn't help but show my shame The heroes of the emperor strive for hegemony, and the war and iron horse describe the Spring and Autumn Period. The autumn wind in the deserted tomb opens up history, but unfortunately only a few people remain. Jiang Zhu, a fisherman and a woodcutter, discussed success or failure and asked with a smile where the hero was. The waning moon reflects the sea in ancient and modern times, but only the green mountains remain unchanged.
I already have the paper book, and I just want to see if there is any difference. The book is a good book, I like it. Basically I can memorize it
I've finished reading it, it's such a long book! However, the content is rich, vivid and detailed, and I have benefited a lot!
interesting
Very interesting book
It's written more wonderfully and meaningfully than modern people
It's very well written and feels no less than The Romance of the Three Kingdoms
Since the wars in the Spring and Autumn Period, they have all been fought by the big clans, and since the First Emperor unified them, everyone knows how to strengthen himself, and everyone can be a king!
Read it blindly for the first time to understand the general story, many facts, and the origins of the characters. When we have enough time in the future, we will definitely take over again.
Fascinating, hard to put down. Not only can you understand history, but you can also gain enlightenment. Great book!
Incredibly good-looking
