In the first year of Jiayou's reign, on a rainy night in Meizhou, 19-year-old Su Shi was studying hard under the lamp, his pen was vigorous, and his eyes concealed his expectations for the people of the world. No one could have imagined that this young man would become famous in Bianjing, get involved in party strife, and narrowly escape death. He would also open up wasteland in Huangzhou and call himself "Dongpo", build embankments in Hangzhou to benefit the people, and civilize the barbaric land of Hainan.
From the high-spiritedness of being named on the gold medal list to the life-and-death crisis of the Wutai Poetry Case, from being an important minister in the court to chasing ministers around the world, his life was full of ups and downs, but he always faced the ups and downs of the world with an open-minded smile. Let's take a look at how Su Dongpo, a literary giant of a generation, wrote about mountains and rivers with his pen and ink, and illuminated his life for thousands of years with his style, eventually becoming an immortal spiritual monument in Chinese civilization.
