Five Thousand Years of China

Five Thousand Years Old contains an unfinished posthumous manuscript by the late Professor Lin Handa. During his lifetime, Mr. Lin planned to write a set of stories covering the entire ancient historical period. Because he passed away prematurely, he only wrote the part before the Eastern Han Dynasty and failed to realize his writing plan. The editor of the Children's Publishing House gave me his posthumous manuscript and asked me to sort out and write some chapters, and to complete the unwritten parts by Mr. Lin from the Three Kingdoms to the Opium War in the Qing Dynasty. This novel and its characters are purely fictitious. Any similarity is purely coincidental and should not be imitated.
