Guo Shi said: It's very true. It's not easy to know people and judge the world. This biography traces one of the many pioneers who began to influence China's historical journey a full century ago. It is even more difficult to believe it. Precious historical materials have changed with the times and are gradually being submerged by the vicissitudes of life. However, this is not the main obstacle. The more important reason is that since ancient times, historians have only focused on emperors, generals, ministers, and heroes. They were bound by the ethical view of history, leaving almost only a political history. This is tradition, and perhaps justifiable. Don't you see it, the splendid palaces and mausoleums are only built for them, and the green lights and yellow scrolls in the cultural and historical museum can only illuminate their bloodthirsty achievements. Who would notice the "philistines" who engage in commercial crafts and silently accumulate wealth for the people? ——According to ancient books, workers are regarded as "last career". Tao Zhugong was known as a wealthy businessman to future generations only because he served as the famous counselor Fan Li.
I hope that this biography will be helpful to the study of modern Chinese history; and that the patriotic entrepreneurial spirit of the older generation of business circles with Mr. Ma Yingbiao will inspire and inspire the younger generation, and will be carried forward and play a good role.

The author's description of Ma Yingbiao gave me a deeper understanding of the business of that era. Moreover, many of the ideas in the book are very enlightening, especially the challenges to the traditional view of history, which made me start to think about the diversity of history. I think this book is not only suitable for people who are interested in modern Chinese history, but also a great encouragement and inspiration to our young people.
