   This is the best political novel I've read in recent years, bar none. The protagonist has impeccable morals, a broad vision, courage, resourcefulness, loyalty, and righteousness. He treats friends with the warmth of a spring breeze and enemies with the ruthlessness of an autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves. His words are sharp, insightful, and profound. He dares to be a pioneer and is unafraid to offend people. China needs more Jiang Hans. PS: I hope other authors of political novels will take note of his refusal to engage in frivolous romantic relationships. (Comment from reader "Nanniwan Book Fan")
