Reader comments
This book gave me a more comprehensive understanding of Zeng Guofan. As a courier, I walk in the streets and alleys of the city every day. Although the work is hard, I can also feel the changes and development of society. It is really admirable that Zeng Guofan was able to promote China's modernization construction in such a difficult environment. His spirit also inspires me to keep working hard and make my own contribution to society.
