In 1276, Lin'an City was destroyed, and the city gates of the most prosperous Celestial City in the world were opened wide in front of the Mongolian cavalry. But this is not the end of the story - for the next three years, Wen Tianxiang, Lu Xiufu, and Zhang Shijie took the two young emperors to support themselves in the south until a hundred thousand loyal bones floated on the sea surface of Yashan.
"After Lin'an" uses popular writing to tell this period of history that has been misunderstood by too many people. You will see in the book: a capital city that never built walls, a "treacherous official" who has been scolded for seven hundred years, a 67-year-old old lady who was forced to leave the country, and the last prime minister who jumped into the sea with the little emperor on his back.
This is not a book only about the subjugation of the country. It tells the story of how a civilization draws its curtains in the most honorable way at its last moments.
