In the vast history of Chinese emperors, no one's life script is more legendary than that of Liu Xiu. He was nicknamed by netizens as the "Son of the Plane" (the darling of destiny favored by the universe), and historians praised him as "the one who surpassed all previous emperors". Nan Huaijin, a master of traditional Chinese culture, even asserted: "In China's two thousand years of history, the only person who can set an example for managing the country with a family in order is Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu, who was the master of the resurgence of the Eastern Han Dynasty." This cowherd kid who walked out of the fields miraculously rebuilt the Han Dynasty with his astonishing military talent, foresighted political wisdom, and generosity and kindness in the troubled times of Wang Mang's usurpation of the Han Dynasty, and ushered in the Guangwu ZTE era with "the most beautiful customs and the most prosperous Confucianism."
What is even more amazing is that he broke the curse of power and became one of the few monarchs in history who treated the founding heroes well; he fulfilled his youthful oath of "marrying a wife worthy of Yin Lihua" and wrote a good story of imperial love; he governed the country with judo and achieved economic recovery and cultural prosperity after the war. When we open this book, we will not only see a real and legendary Liu Xiu, but also realize that under the appearance of fate, it was his extraordinary character and wisdom that created his immortal achievements.
