Looking Back on Three Lifetimes

Radio host Jian Song is good at telling stories, so one night, he told Jing Beining this tale:

The story takes place at the end of the Northern Song dynasty, an era well worth studying. The splendor of its golden age seems vivid before our eyes, yet the country fell in a single night. From then on, the Southern Song court was confined to a corner of Jiangnan, never to recover.

In this age, there was Zhao Ji, who called himself the Daoist Sovereign Emperor; Cai Jing, a dashing man of letters already past thirty, as well as a corrupt minister whose name would endure through a thousand years of history; the eunuch Tong Guan, who held military power for twenty years; the obsessions the last emperor, Zhao Huan, could and could not lay down; and a little fox spirit who kept a thousand-year promise...

Together with this golden age, they entered the Jingkang era and marched toward destruction.

Simply put, this is the story of Zhao Huan, the last emperor of the Northern Song, and a loyal little fox spirit.

A song to go with the story:
