Xie Wan, a master in the machinery industry, traveled back in time to 1815 and unfolded a historical picture of thoughts and ideas, politics and war, technology and economy in the 19th century. There is no guidance for the country, only the choices and struggles of small people in the established historical direction, and the incomprehensible behavior. If this small stone can stir up a slight ripple after being thrown into the torrent of history, it is that it also tried to change the torrent, but was eventually swallowed up by the torrent without leaving a trace. The best thing history can give us is the passion it inspires. --Goethe
