    This book is truly excellent. It's a good book with a low initial rating; the low rating is because the earlier version was too pretentious. The author is a ruthless individual; the entire book has been restructured, and it's now excellent, with constant brilliance. [From the Long March and the War of Resistance Against Japan to the Founding of the People's Republic of China and the Korean War]. If a person, with modern knowledge and skills pushed to their limits, returned to the Long March, what could he change? What could he protect? This is the opening question of *Red Star Over the Rivers and Mountains*. The answer is: he could change many things. He could use a sniper rifle to kill the enemy leader at Baozuo, use his medical skills to save his comrades' lives on the grasslands, and even provide early warnings, allowing a famous general who should have sacrificed his life to survive. But he couldn't change much more. He couldn't change hunger, disease, and cold; he couldn't change the vast disparity in strength between the enemy and himself; and he couldn't change the fact that "sacrifice" itself was part of that history. Every "variable" he brings will, like butterfly wings, trigger a chain reaction in 2025—for better or worse, unpredictable. And he himself will be profoundly changed by a soul from 1935. Chen Shugen, a cook who barely knew any characters and only knew that "the squad leader should eat last," taught this sophisticated egoist what "faith" meant through his simple yet unwavering conviction. Therefore, this book is about the clash between "ability" and "faith." Fist may pave a path to survival, but only faith can illuminate the heart.
