Reading this will make you wonder whether you have a brain. Highly, highly recommended. Everyone is smart, and the foreshadowing runs throughout the whole story. Anyway, I didn't understand a thing. It's just satisfying from start to finish. All I can say is the author's writing is insanely good.

Entertaining and Practical
Looking for books similar to A Record of Changing Fate (Practical Guide to Changing Fate). It covers educating children, keeping your heart and mind in the right place, how to get rich, answers to all kinds of social issues... It's one of the most useful novels I've come across so far.
Any Stories About Ruthless Self-Interest?
Looking for books like "After Being Married Off to the Wrong Man, I Stabbed My Husband and Made My Name Across the Land". I hate stories where the protagonist is capable but lets their enemies live to keep tormenting them. The protagonist keeps shouting about getting revenge, but only kills them at the very end, then everyone gets a happy ending and forgives each other. Don't recommend those.

How can I put it, after reading this book, I have very complicated emotions. Li Si has a life that he pursues, and he has tasted all the ups and downs in this life. I think this may be our life. Although some people have a calm life, they also have passion; some people have a high position in their life, but they also feel at a loss. Whether a person's merits outweigh his faults in this life, or whether his faults outweigh his merits, is only evaluated by future generations based on their understanding. In this long history, we are all just participating in one event. It's enough to let your own charm bloom. Why should it depend on the evaluation of others.
"Getting rich and noble without justice is like a floating cloud to me." How many gentlemen are there? I believe that most people living in troubled times will choose to be rich and noble unjustly. If a modest gentleman cannot survive, he will still need a gentleman's demeanor.
This book, written with clear ideas, shows Li Si's character from another perspective. Use the era to set off the characters, and use the characters to reflect the era. Li Si, a gravedigger of the old era and the founder of the new era. The author shows the complex character of this character from an objective perspective. He is from a poor background, has a positive attitude, does not succumb to fate, is talented, is also narrow-minded and keen on interests, has a cowardly character, and has a long-term vision. The author cleverly connects the characters with the times. Under the rolling tide of history, one can also see the ups and downs of individuals. The argument is well-founded and based on history. The explanation of Li Si's history is more logical and clear, easy to understand, and shows this character vividly 👍
After watching Li Si's Life, I felt quite complicated. When people are young, they set great ambitions, know their own way, learn to strengthen themselves, have high morale, and unswervingly move towards their goals. When they are young, they work bravely throughout their lives, move forward with their goals, and walk on their own life path. Use your intelligence and talents for your own selfish gain. Calculate the world and people's hearts. In the end, he will be rewarded with glory and wealth. When you are old, you have obtained what you dreamed of when you were young. You only want to keep your roots. You are afraid of losing what you have gained. You lose your fighting spirit. You care about the head and tail. In the end, you have no ambition to fight as a youth, let alone the grand strategy of youth. I am worried that I may lose a lot in old age and be trapped by the machinations of the rats. In the end, things become too prosperous, dragons and phoenixes fall together, and what is gained is lost. In the final analysis, Master Li is an ordinary person. He started by watching rats to understand his will, and worked his way up from the bottom. He observes words and colors, and uses wisdom to make plans. He assisted the Emperor of Qin in his great cause, but protected his own interests when the current situation became turbulent. Walking too far, standing too high, being caught up in the tide of the times and unable to control yourself, you can only be forced to push forward, and will eventually be counterattacked by the general trend. It's so sad. Some words are typed wrong😂😂😓
This book explains Li Si's life from an objective perspective. He has achievements, mistakes, peerless talents, and cowardice. In the end, it is like a big dream, which is somewhat similar to the feeling of reading Dream of Red Mansions.
This book has many similarities with Teacher Du Yinshan's Qin Shihuang. They can be read in conjunction with each other, which is more conducive to deep memory. Li Si is probably the best that an ordinary person can achieve. He is more resourceful and less decisive, which should be Li Si's biggest problem. Overall, Li Si was born for Qin Shihuang. When Qin Shihuang died, Li Si also went with him. It was Li Si who created Qin Shihuang, and Qin Shihuang created Li Si.
This book describes the ups and downs of Li Si, the founding hero of the Qin Empire. His contribution to the Qin Dynasty in his life was not insignificant. In the end, because of a word of profit, he went to the abyss of death and annihilation, which is very sad. The author's detailed and vivid descriptions of the characters' expressions and psychology seem to have really brought us closer to that "one-in-a-lifetime" era, allowing us to immerse ourselves in every fate-related decision made by Li Si. In addition, key figures such as Qin Shihuang, Hu Hai, and Zhao Gao are also described with flesh and blood, making it a pleasure to read.
Zhao Gaoxing, he asked Li Si to see him at the wrong time. He lied to Li Si in prison more than a dozen times and gave up hope. He also mistook a deer for a horse, confused right and wrong, deceived superiors and deceived others, coerced and induced. It was not clear enough what he was thinking. It was like a Tyrannosaurus rex thought its tail was ugly and wanted to After eating his own tail, he would no longer be able to maintain his balance. The Qin Empire could only fall down and face the earth with its bloody mouth. There was not a single capable minister. In this way, he helped the tyrants to do harm, and he had no sense of crisis. In the end, he thought of supporting Qin Prince Ying and puppeting the Qin King. Zhao Gao has a hexagram, which should be mountain peeling. From the very beginning, Li Si had to distinguish between righteousness and benefit, and Quanquan chose benefit. Only Ying Zheng could use him, and a benevolent king would not control him. A fatuous king would be blown up to heaven by him in order to protect himself. It was the First Emperor who fulfilled Li Si, otherwise in the other six countries, It is absolutely impossible to become the Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty and be famous throughout the ages. Secondly, he is proud and underestimates the enemy. It is true that ordinary people may not make the same choice as him, so Zhang Juzheng is the right path, and he will retire after success. Hu Hai was infected by the First Emperor. The world was impermanent and he enjoyed himself as much as he could. He was infected by the First Emperor's attitude, but he also had regrets in the same entertainment and excitement. He turned decades and more than ten years into two years. He should use Zhuangzi to answer the emperor's fallacies. The First Emperor was a law for success, a law for decline, and a law for defeat. Most of the first generation of the dynasty had the highest martial arts. They were emperors immediately, and they should rest and recuperate later. Because of the law, Li Si was used by him to unify the six countries. Because of the law, Fusu and the Meng brothers died unexpectedly and did not dare to interfere. Because of the law, the country was rich and the army was strong. Because of the law, the tired people and gangsters were on foot. They rose up and cut down trees to become soldiers. How many first emperors and how many emperors were there? Emperor Wu? There are tens of millions of disciples of the Dharma, but not a single First Emperor. How many kings of Qin have there been? There are no survivors of the sixth generation of the Qin Dynasty. Times make heroes. The economic base determines the superstructure, and the superstructure also affects the economic base. This is right! Mudd, this is right. To distinguish between righteousness and benefit in life, one should have a yardstick, bear the infamy of one life, and create peace for all generations. The hero of the enemy and the enemy of mine always have gains and losses. There is a measure, a measure, and it is true to measure and grasp. Li Si sorted out the weights and measures, and did he find the yardstick and balance? , A strong dragon has regrets, but it cannot be promoted. Now the game level is infinite, there will never be a peak or an end, and the most flying dragons are in the sky. Life is like a golden shovel that combines fetters, a main fetter, add pendants or small fetters, and a crown to break the population limit and then upgrade other fetters. Taking history as a mirror can help us understand the ups and downs.
I like Ying Zheng's description better. Although he is reckless, he can still listen to advice. He is not so confused. Li Si's description is not profound enough. I prefer Ying Zheng to do whatever he says. If I make a mistake, I will correct it, but I must intimidate you. This is the talent of an emperor.
The whole book not only writes about Li Si's life, but also the life of Qin Shihuang and the "life" of the Qin Dynasty. Li Si's fate is firmly tied to them. I really admire him. From toilet rat to hamster, it is a very inspiring story, but he did make a lot of mistakes. I think this is very reasonable. He is a real person and cannot be perfect. It all depends on what others think of him. For me, he is really inspiring 👍 Oh, yes, the writing is good 👍
