Listening to the hawkers from various countries in the Western Regions talking in poor Tang Dynasty Mandarin, I sat on the street biting roasted naan and eating mutton in a water basin. I saw the Jinwu Guards passing by on Zhuque Street, escorting the unseen Princess Yuzhen to the Qiwang Mansion for a banquet. When I got up and passed by a wine shop, I turned around inadvertently and saw Li Bai drunkenly leaning on He Zhizhang's back...

This book shows Zeng Guofan's last twenty years of life and the turning point of the great changes in the late Qing Dynasty. In just twenty years, Zeng Guofan was promoted from Minister Ding You to Governor of Liangjiang, Governor of Zhili, and Bachelor. Accompanying this honor is a mountain of pressure and unbearable life and death suffering that ordinary people cannot bear. During this period, Zeng Guofan had no fewer than five brushes with death, either actively or passively. The commander-in-chief, who seemed to have great power, had to struggle between the forces of all parties and crack down one tough nut after another. What is it that repeatedly forces him into desperate situations of life and death, and what keeps him from dying? This is exactly the question this book seeks to answer. As the author said, "This is forced by both personal circumstances and the trend of the times." The author closely follows Zeng Guofan's five major life-and-death situations, using memorials, diaries, family letters, letters, and records from relatives and friends as core materials to explore the historical background, his own situation and psychological state of the life-and-death situations he was caught in at each stage of his life, and reveal how a late Qing commander-in-chief dealt with the complex relationship between himself and the times, family affairs and state affairs, desire and power. Although this book examines Zeng Guofan's different approaches and mentality in dealing with different life and death situations, no matter how the situation changes, he is still Zeng Guofan, and a certain persistence in his heart has never changed. Therefore, what this book will discuss is not only the times and its "changes", but also its "unchangedness" in the great changes. Perhaps, inner perseverance is the true strength of Zeng Guofan's spirit, and it is also the significance of us re-examining Zeng Guofan's spiritual legacy.

At the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, Sima Yi's descendants fought for power and launched a 16-year melee, which triggered the Yongjia Rebellion in Shenzhou Luchen. Ancient China thus entered the turbulent Sixteen Kingdoms era of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. From the founding of the country (317 AD) to the fall of the country (420 AD), the Eastern Jin Dynasty lasted for 103 years and has been struggling in the quagmire of clan politics.

The context clearly sorts out the fascinating history of the Eastern Jin Dynasty that is full of challenges and changes.
