This book gave me a deeper understanding of the history of the Taiping Rebellion. As an entrepreneur, I felt the courage and determination of people of that era from the book, and I also understood that success requires continuous hard work and struggle. Some of the plots in the book, such as the strategic decisions of the Taiping Army and the wisdom of the leaders, reminded me of the various challenges I faced in the entrepreneurial process. Moreover, the sources of this book are very rich, which makes me believe in the authenticity of history even more. All in all, I think this is a good book worth reading!
