Reader comments
The best book on the history of Liao and Jin Dynasties
It reminds me that history always repeats itself, just like there are some people around me who, although they have the protection of their ancestors, will still decline if they don't work hard. The love story of Yelu Hongji and Xiao Guanyin in the book is also very touching. Just like my boyfriend and I, we came together because of love. I think this book not only tells history, but also allows people to find their own shadow in it, which is very resonant.
