This book is very interesting! The author Shao Bowen recorded the stories of his father Shao Yong and his close friends, allowing us to see the characters and their thoughts of that era. I especially like the part in the book that opposes Wang Anshi's reform, which is very insightful. Moreover, the proofreading of this book is also very careful, making it easier for us to understand. It feels like chatting with the author and learning about past events. I recommend you read it too!
