Traveling Through the Taiwan Strait During the Ming and Qing Dynasties

He Bin secretly followed the goddess Lin Yuerou to Xiamen for a graduation trip, and unexpectedly traveled to Gulangyu Island during the late Ming Dynasty. This was an era full of contradictions and integration. The sound of the silk looms of the Han people in the south of the Yangtze River was intertwined with the neighing of the Manchus' war horses in the north; the thinking about family and country in the Nanlin Party Academy coexisted with the sound of Western bells in the coastal port markets; who was right and who was wrong about the strong blood of the loyal martyrs and the humiliation of the feelings of family and country... A general achieves great success, becomes a king and defeats bandits. History books will only record the great achievements of heroes. From the perspective of He Bin, a traveler, this book tells the love and hatred of important historical figures such as Zheng Zhilong, Wei Zhongxian, Xu Xiake, Zheng Chenggong, and Shi Lang in the era of war and chaos on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. It tells the story of the choice between loyalty and betrayal, the intertwining of destruction and rebirth, and the collision of personal destiny and the current of the times. The author uses a small amount of writing to describe the flesh-and-blood temperament, great wisdom and noble souls of the heroes who worked to realize the reunification of the Chinese nation.
