I am Liu Bang, a commoner who climbed out of the muddy water in Peixian County.
You say I'm a fool, you say I'm greedy, you say I rely on luck to win the world, but you haven't seen how I survived Xiang Yu's blade, Han Xin's ambition, and the storms of this troubled world step by step. You remember my "cruelty", but you forget that my real ability is "stability".
I do not deny that I came from a humble background, nor do I deny that I once lived in the public life. But I can lead a bunch of people to achieve great things, not by words, but by knowing what I know and having tricks in hand. I can win, not because I am smart, but because I am soberer than anyone else and can survive.
Over the past two thousand years, too many people have misrepresented me - saying that I am a rogue emperor. Then I will speak for myself and explain clearly how this life came from the mud to the temple step by step.
This is not a biography, this is a record of what I, Liu Bang, told personally!
