Getting to the Bottom of Mind-Reading 起底观心术

A General History of China 中国通史
The world-famous writer Cervantes said, “History gives birth to truth; it can withstand time and preserve old tales and past events. It is a record of ancient times, a warning for the present, and a lesson for future generations.” History is a mirror that records the successes and failures, prosperity and decline, triumphs and tragedies, transitions and renewal of human society. It also foreshadows humanity's future.
