I think this book is very interesting! It is really touching to see that Zhuge Liang did not hesitate to go out to Qishan six times in order to complete the great cause of unification, and finally died of illness in Wuzhangyuan. His wisdom and loyalty are so admirable. This reminds me that when facing important decisions in life, I must have firm faith and courage and not give up easily. Moreover, you can learn a lot about history, culture and how to behave in the world from the book, which is very inspiring to me. I plan to read several other books in this series.
