I Am a Passerby in the History Books

Lin Mo, a young archaeologist, never thought that the broken bronze bamboo slip would drag him into the depths of history on a thunderstorm night. When he opened his eyes again, he became the secretary of Qin Tingwei's Mansion. The person sitting in front of him was Li Si in the history books - at this moment, it was 221 BC, when Qin Gang established the world. He is a passerby in the pile of documents in Xianyang City, a silent companion in the Eastern Inspection Team, an inconspicuous onlooker outside the Hongmen Banquet, and a small official recording under the Zhenguan Court... Every time he travels, he takes root in history as a "little person" named in the history books, witnessing with his own eyes that the bold characters in the textbooks turn into vivid smoke, blood, tears and cheers. He tried to use modern cognition to save young people working in labor, and tried to reveal the opportunities to "trap Confucianism", but he was always brought back on track by invisible "corrections" - the ending of history will never change, only his eyes when looking at history can change. From the ink marks on the Qin slips to the lamp shadows of the Tang palace, from the marketplaces of the Song and Yuan dynasties to the beacon smoke of the Ming and Qing dynasties, this open textbook became his long journey through thousands of years and the beginning of his understanding that "history is never just the history of heroes."
