   The courtyard is full of talented people; we must make good use of them. Currently serialized at two million words, this is a clichéd story. Everyone is intelligent, the writing style is humorous, and it's a clean and straightforward book, free of toilet humor. Set in 1953, it features a rigorous and logically sound portrayal of a powerful industrial nation. There's no hostility; the protagonist, Lao Liu, initially seems saintly, but later reveals himself to be scheming against everyone and everything around him. It's neither dark nor unintelligent, transcending stereotypical black-and-white characters. The protagonist has a grand vision, a deep concern for his country, and clear goals, quietly contributing his knowledge far ahead of his time. The courtyard disputes are merely background.
