True redemption is not to deny the past, but to make the past a resource for understanding the present, and let trauma become the ability to empathize with others. This book spans space and focuses on the empathic souls of three controversial important figures in Chinese history, Bai Qi, Wang Mang, and modern doctor Li Mu. It deeply interprets the complicated entanglements between Bai Qi's killings, Wang Mang's ideals, and Li Mu's medical skills, and finally reaches a reconciliation spanning two thousand years on the point of "healing people's hearts."
