Is "The Last Lesson" a lie? What does real lurking look like? ... A passage, a name, or even a picture in a history book, under Zhang Wei's pen, present unexpected faces. History is no longer just cold years and numbers, but stories with warmth and real people of flesh and blood. As a human being, we have pros and cons, pros and cons. Zhang Wei tried his best to use a dialectical perspective, combined with the objective environment at the time, to put himself in the shoes of those historical events and historical figures, instead of prejudging his position or judging an event or a person from his perspective. The seemingly boring history is actually full of life, full of stories, flesh and blood, hesitation, and faith. History has real temperature.

Dynasty Adults

Qin Sihuang

305K013

I have been hesitating about how to accurately explain the purpose of creation to today's diligent young people. I selected more than 20 famous adults in history and piled up these hundreds of thousands of words. I was not aiming to write a biography. There are already a lot of words describing their lives. I was just like the bald Wang Xiaoli in Uncle Benshan's sketch, grabbing the microphone and digging into his ancestors' graves. Everyone aspires to fame and wealth, some are invincible, and some are stretched thin. To rush forward on this thorny official career requires some internal strength and means. Faith is of course important, but being familiar with the ups and downs of politics and clarifying the intricate interpersonal relationships are the basic skills for navigating officialdom. We have all been deceived and misled by orthodox texts, believing that "I am born with talents." I will peel off my soul and show it to you, but I hope that people in the future will take less detours. This may be the original intention of writing about them. In order not to feel lonely and stiff, I walk along with the current images from time to time.
