Xiyaowo, the full name is Xiyaowotun. A few years ago, a major event happened here that shocked the entire county. In July last year, I came to the county to visit a friend and went back to my hometown with him, which is Xiyaowotun. After having lunch (and drinking a little wine), he and his old father were sitting on the kang chatting, and they accidentally talked about that incident. The old father is almost 80 years old. He has a shaved head and speaks in a loud voice. The old man worked as an accountant in a production team in his early years. He is proficient in writing and has read "Three Kingdoms" and "Water Margin". He said there was nothing wrong with him except that he was a little deaf. I asked him to explain the matter in detail. He said: "What's the point of churning these seven hundred years of millet and eight hundred years of chaff? They say that you are a book writer and you like to explore such things, so let me tell you.

In the last years of Qianlong's reign, the prosperity could not be continued. The corrupt officials represented by He Shen devoured the country's wealth, poisoned and killed talented people, and the whole country was corrupt. Cults took the opportunity to incite people's hearts, criminals became angry, and chaos broke out.

However, due to his old age and deafness, he was deceived by the flattering ministers and sycophants. As a result, Agui, Ji Yun, Li Shiyao and other virtuous ministers were deposed, and the country's power worsened. The establishment of the Jiaqing Dynasty played the final song of the decline of the Qianlong feudal era.

Politicians control the era, assassins decide life and death! In 1905, the prelude to the tragic "Assassination Era" in modern Chinese history slowly unfolded: Sun Yat-sen established the Assassination Department of the Tongmenghui; Cai Yuanpei organized the Liberation Society to engage in assassination activities; Chen Duxiu served as the mastermind behind the assassination group; and even the scholar Lu Xun also joined the assassination group. No matter what doctrine they believe in or what purpose they harbor, they all attempt to use this ancient method of violence to control the future of the entire country. In those covered histories, an assassin who truly determined someone's life and death was also involved in many political assassinations by the tide of the times, becoming the key to the checks and balances of all parties: he broke into the Forbidden City alone to assassinate Cixi, also served as Sun Yat-sen's bodyguard in Tokyo, sneaked into a prison to rescue Wang Jingwei, and formed a deep friendship with Wu Yue and other anti-Qing patriots. In that turbulent and troubled time, he changed the future destiny of himself and the country with assassinations one after another on countless dark nights.

He was born in the closed and backward Sanhe area. He was separated from his biological mother when he was three years old and was taken as a hostage in another country when he was six years old. The bitter and miserable life of a hostage has tempered his incomparable tenacity and alert and steady personality. When he became an adult, he succeeded him as the city lord, but there were many wealthy families in his territory and powerful enemies outside his territory. In order to survive in troubled times, he did not hesitate to act as cannon fodder for Imagawa Yoshimoto, and then led the Mikawa samurai to follow Oda Nobunaga in various expeditions. He had just won his own living space, but he had to kill his wife and son in order to win Nobunaga's trust. After Nobunaga dreamed of destroying Honnōji Temple, Hideyoshi took control of the situation first. On the one hand, he bowed to the knees of generations of noble samurai and bowed at the feet of Hideyoshi, who was born in a humble family; on the other hand, he devoted himself to expanding his sphere of influence in local areas. When the opportunity came, he struck decisively and completely destroyed potential enemies. His greatest characteristic is summed up as "patience". Perhaps in order to be able to compete with many geniuses, this ordinary person with neither extraordinary creativity nor outstanding talent can only use "patience" to temper and improve himself. But patience is to go a further distance. He, uncreative, devoted himself to imitating the strengths of others, combining Takeda's art of war, Nobunaga's decisiveness, and Hideyoshi's strategy. He conquered Nobunaga and Hideyoshi with his integrity and loyalty, but when Hideyoshi died, he suddenly became a cunning leader. It can be seen that his integrity and loyalty are by no means sincere, but just a way of doing things to cover up his sharp edge. Ryotaro Shiba uses smooth and sharp writing to describe the tortuous life of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of a dynasty, from hostage to king, allowing readers to deeply understand Tokugawa Ieyasu's brilliance, forbearance and cunning as a strategist.

The leader of the black slave uprising sounded the strong voice of freedom in desperate situations! The Pulitzer Prize winner analyzes history with words of blood and tears! This book is a Pulitzer Prize-winning book and has been certified by Time magazine as one of the Top 100 English Novels. Its content subverts the traditional heroic narrative and has a more shocking soul confession than "Braveheart". It witnesses the darkness of human nature at the intersection of violence and compassion. The author uses words to penetrate the fog of history and reconstructs the truth with a seven-thousand-word confession: He is trapped between the slave world and the free world, unable to reach or escape. In 1831, the black prophet Nat Turner launched the only effective and sustained uprising in the history of black slavery in the United States. After this failure Turner was tried, convicted and hanged in Jerusalem, Virginia. William Styron wrote the novel "The Confessions of Nat Turner" based on real historical figures. He used first-person narration to revive the hanged uprising leader in literature. He not only captured the courage of people under oppression, but also captured the hesitation of those who were unable to advance or retreat, and the loneliness of those who had no support. With his profound understanding of complex social reality and complex human nature, Styron gave Nat Turner a rich flesh and blood that was never shown in macro historical narratives. This is not a black-and-white epic of resistance, but a soulful lament that explores the complexity of human nature amid oppression and violence.
