Lenin said: Wang Anshi was a great reformer in China in the eleventh century. Americans say: China's Wang Anshi's new law saved the United States from the economic crisis in the 1830s. Emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty said: I have looked at all the ministers, and the only person who can be responsible for the country is An Shi'er. Wang Anshi said: Don't seek to be a high official, but seek to do great things. Wang Jinggong, who had long had reform ideas, decided to assist Song Shenzong in revitalizing the Northern Song Dynasty. However, the attacks of conservative forces, the frame-up of collusion between officials and businessmen, the perfunctory of officials, the tricks in maritime trade, the controversy over the export of coins, the planning of the border, the mischief of spies, the usurpation of the palace, the collusion and pressure of barbarians and Di, and the entanglement of family and country feelings, all tested the wisdom, talent and will of this prime minister. From the perspective of human nature, this book thoroughly examines a reformer's responsibility, belief, and great spirit and quality of contributing to the revitalization of the country.
