The Temperature of History 5: Those Games, Contests and Human Nature
by Zhang Wei
About This Novel
The Cairo Conference, the Tehran Conference, the U. S.-Mexico War, the Oil War... Whether they are meetings in the history of World War II where all parties seemed to be united, or they were disputes on the surface, are there stories behind them that we don't know about? Deng Jiaxian, Tan Kah Kee, Oppenheimer... Those people who have never succumbed to the times and environment, do they also have their own uniqueness in this magnificent era? Looking through the long scroll of history and looking back at this individual and one incident, you will find that game and struggle can be regarded as an eternal theme, whether it is a game of interests or a struggle of human nature. On the negotiating table, it's a battle of chips; outside the negotiating table, it's likely to be the roar of artillery fire. There are competitions between countries, as well as games between people and between groups. Even if it comes down to a specific person, including you, me, and him, there is still a "war between heaven and man": with one's own selfish desires, one's own beliefs, and one's own ideals. In 2020, we once again clearly realized that on this planet, the so-called "competition" and "game" are not only between humans. And the more we are at this moment, I think the more we need to read some history.
