Synopsis

Yonghang is descended from the Red Fifth Army. At the age of five, he traveled alone by train out of the Hexi Corridor. His masters included a Daoist, a Buddhist monk, and the chief instructor of a special forces unit. This is an era of reform, an era of expanding trade, technology, and science...

His fourth master handed over Cao Cao's Imperial Guards to him. Yonghang took the First Emperor's Dragon Guards and Palace Guards for his own...

This is an unbelievable era where dreams and reality, virtual worlds and science fiction, the real and the mythical are woven together...

And yet it is also an era more real than anything could be.

It's a good book; it has substance and diverse content. However, the author only briefly describes some aspects, leaving one feeling a bit unsatisfied. Overall, though, its strengths outweigh its weaknesses.

A wonderful book. The author's gentle, narrative style unfolds the magnificent historical process of reform and opening up, as well as the lives and changes of ordinary people, from a child's perspective. The writing is fluent and realistic, the plot is vivid and interesting, and the logic is clear and coherent. It is truly a rare masterpiece.

Excellent! Finally, I've read a book by an author with rich life experience. Lately, I've been coming across some poorly written novels by A1 authors, which are frustrating to read. This book, on the other hand, has a good premise.

It's so much better to be young. When you grow up, all sorts of love, interests, and backstabbing come into play. Nothing beats the charm of simple, healthy growth.

The story is getting more and more interesting and engaging. A zero-year-old child, whose identity is still unknown, is a character setting I've never seen before on Tomato Books. There are many characters, and each one's character is very well-developed. I wonder how the author will perfect the portrayal of Gu Yibei, Liang Daiyan, Asidar, and Hu Yueying, and how the story will progress.

It's written in a way that's more relevant to our times than what's taught, the writing is fluent, and the details are well-written. Highly recommended. Excellent! I watched the beginning, then skipped some parts, but it got more and more interesting later on, so I rewatched the beginning. Could you please post more later? It's been a long and tiring follow! 🤭🤦🤦🤦

The writing is good, it has a sense of the era, and it shows an understanding of history.
