Learned and understood the history.

Sima Qian's words are vivid and vivid, and every historical figure is lifelike. For example, the line "Making strategic plans and winning decisively thousands of miles away" made me seem to see Zhang Liang's wisdom and strategy on the battlefield. This book is not only a record of history, but also a treasure of literature. It is worth reading again and again!

Are There Any Books on Collectivism? It Feels Like Many of Them Are About Individual Heroism.

I can't stand reading books about individual heroism, as they seem to be inconsistent with my three views, so I would like to ask if anyone has any good books about collectivism and focusing on the overall situation?
