Reader comments
I especially hate Kong Jia. He indulges in drinking and sex and ignores political affairs, which leads to the rebellion of the people. However, I like Yu very much. In order to control the water, he worked hard and hired many capable people, and finally succeeded in controlling the water. The characters in this book are vivid, I recommend you read it.
