   This is the best political novel I've read in recent years, bar none. The protagonist has impeccable morals, a broad perspective, 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. P. S. I hope other authors of political novels will take note of his stance against frivolous romantic relationships. (—Excerpt from a reader's comment, "Nanniwan Book Fan")
