Reader comments
The book "Southern History" is very interesting! It records many historical stories, such as the origin of the Liu family in Pengcheng and the birth and growth experience of Liu Yu, the emperor of the Song Dynasty. They are all very magical! I think Liu Yu is very powerful. Although he comes from a poor background, he has extraordinary magnanimity. Just like those friends around me who study hard, although their conditions are not good, they all have their own goals and are working hard to change their lives. I also want to learn from them and be a person with ambition!
