Reader comments
"New History of the Yuan Dynasty" is detailed in content and records many historical events and characters, which gave me a deeper understanding of the history of the Yuan Dynasty. The description of Taizu Temujin in the book is wonderful, especially his determination and courage in the face of difficulties, such as "The deep pool has dried up, the solid rock has cracked, what's the point of leaving it alone!" This sentence made me see his determination and courage. This book is worth reading and I recommend it to you!
