In Praise of Qin and Han

This book draws firmly on the mainstream-accepted “official history,” making only a few artistic embellishments while respecting the historical record. The events and figures in the book are all based on sources. (The story focuses primarily on Ying Zheng, Liu Bang, and Xiang Yu. Other aspects of the historical background are covered more briefly.)

In the long river of history, the Qin and Han dynasties stand out as brilliant chapters. Driven by a passionate love of this period, the author has transformed its turbulent changes into a story. From the rise and unification of Qin to the fortunes and falls of Han, readers are invited to immerse themselves in an age of heroes and clashing armies, learn about the famous generals of the Warring States period, and experience the timeless imperial might of Qin Shi Huang, Liu Bang's strategic brilliance in a time of chaos, and the tragic final song of Xiang Yu.
