A Thousand Years of Mortal Life

Originally, I thought history was very boring and historical figures were very rigid. After reading this book, I found that these people are similar to our elders and friends. I learned a lot about politics, business wars, and knowledge about human nature. Some places even made me laugh so hard that my stomach hurt. I haven't read many books, so I can't use too many gorgeous words to describe this book. I can only say one thing: awesome

It turns out that it is not the thousands of people behind him who are sick, but the decaying sky. In this case, I turned the world upside down. " "Faith is filled in every plot in history and reality, and compassion is the extremely rare light of human nature. But behind the light, there are shadows. " This book gives you the feeling of letting emperors and generals sit down and talk to you face to face. In the first part, Li Shimin and Sima Yi only thought it was quite interesting. In the second part, Zhang Jiao got goosebumps all over the place.

What attracts me most about this book is that it not only focuses on the talented emperors and generals, but also describes many small figures in a certain sense, such as Zhang Jiao and Gao Huan. The author's views on every historical figure are objective and without filters, as can be seen from the following paragraph of Gao Huan's postscript. "In the end, you and I are just a few specks of dust caught in the pages of history. However, the dust also holds light, and that light sprouts quietly, and from the seemingly barren cracks, a whole spring that refuses to accept its fate blooms. Life is like being stuck in the cracks of history. Fortunately, there are glimmers of light that can nurture youth. "

What I like most is the afterword of each character. It feels like I role-played his life. Yang Guang is not a tyrant, Zhang Jiao is not a Taoist priest, and Lu Pheasant is not a poisonous queen in the complete sense. I even think that if I were Lu Pheasant and lived through his life, I would be more cruel than her. History has not changed, history keeps repeating itself. The only thing we can do is learn from these characters and live the way we want.

It is humorous but also profound, full of philosophy, great book!
