Reader comments
And you know, the Li Yuan mentioned in the book is just like my grandfather, he is very generous and kind to others, so everyone likes him very much. I think Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was so cruel. He killed Li Hun's whole family just because of some rumors. It's really terrible! Fortunately, I live in a peaceful era and nothing like this will happen. I also thought of the book "The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties". The characters in it are also very interesting, especially Cheng Yaojin, his three-blade ax is amazing! However, these historical stories make me understand that only by being a kind person can you be liked and respected by others.
It is easy to understand and has no barriers to reading history.
Real and objective, multi-dimensional description, plot twists and vivid descriptions.
Good! Easy to listen to and understand, nothing difficult to understand. Good!
