Treasures of Huaxia

[Dedicated to our love of history]

The tower is famed far and wide. It has weathered countless vicissitudes, witnessing the rise and fall of the world. So many figures who once rode the tides of their age have followed the waters of time, reduced to ashes and dust. Yet the great tower still stands, as if quietly awaiting new figures to stride onto the stage, as if waiting for this land to continue writing its story and preserving its spirit.

Having grown used to lavish feasts, would you ever try plain noodles or bland rice porridge?

(A quick disclaimer: This book includes the author's commentary. You can take it as a joke or as the author's pointless musing, but please don't criticize it without reason.)

(The author has read it four or five times too, so here's an objective assessment: the plot is average, but the prose is fairly smooth. Since I like blue-green wallpapers, the book has a distinctly Chinese flavor. However, the commentary passages shift emotions too abruptly, making the narrative feel disjointed. It's like adding raisins to Shaqima: raisins aren't bad, but the combination doesn't work. So I revised it after Chapter 19.)
