    The scene with Widow Xue was brilliant. She was venting her anger one minute, then stunned by her son's words the next. The shortsightedness and simple patriotism hidden beneath her shrewish exterior instantly made the character believable, a hundred times more real than a purely villainous one. Yu Taizhong's transformation from despair to seeing a glimmer of hope, then to a look of venomous resentment, was particularly poignant. He thought he could turn things around through his connections at the steel mill, unaware that the protagonist already held the trump card of the "storm of the times." This information asymmetry created incredibly compelling tension.
