The author has always dreamed of a great nation, a country where everyone is happy, with no war and no hunger. But in today’s world, the strong prey on the weak, and weakness itself is a sin. Right and wrong don’t matter; whoever has the harder fist is king. The once-powerful Soviet Union put the newly established republic under unbearable pressure. The author, too, was hostile toward the Soviet Union. Now its successor, Russia, is being ganged up on and seems barely able to hold its ground. The author takes no pleasure in that; it only fills them with a heavy sadness. The bond between the Soviet Union and the newly established republic, forged as revolutionary comrades and almost like brothers, cannot be erased. Though they once clashed, they felt a deep mutual respect for each other. The main story is about helping Russia make up for its shortcomings, develop its technology and light industry, improve relations with China rather than confront it, and stand together for warmth. Their shared mission is to safeguard world peace.
