I was a down-and-out scholar who starved to death on the way to escape famine. When I woke up, I became a counselor under Qi Jiguang. At first, I was just a spectator of history, watching him recruit soldiers, watch him train troops, and watch him create the mandarin duck formation. I have thought about it privately and advised him to seize the power in his hands and find a good ending. But then I watched Yiwu soldiers throw their heads, sweat, and blood in order to defend their homeland and country. Watching him stay up day and night for the sake of the Ming Dynasty and the people, sitting in front of the map all night long. I gradually changed from a bystander to a witness, and my thoughts changed from "family world" to "country world". I have written down all the battles he fought on paper. I have kept all the roads he has walked in my heart. The injuries and blood he has suffered from the soldiers and him will also be unforgettable to me for the rest of my life. History books read about them, but I read about us. —Xin Yi
