That Bastard Liu Bang

In 210 BC, in Peixian County, Jiangsu Province, a 48-year-old man squatted at the entrance of the village to watch children fighting with crickets. His father scolded him for not being as good at farming as his second brother. The tavern owner chased him for drink money, and he almost drank up all his wife's dowry. Everyone in Fengyi Zhongyangli felt that Liu Laosan's life was over. No one expected that five years later, this temporary worker in Sishui Pavilion, who did not even have a formal establishment, would become the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty. This is not an official history of emperors and generals. This is a true record of a middle-aged man's survival. Liu Bang, Xiang Yu, Han Xin, Zhang Liang, Xiao He... You have heard these names before. But you may not know: Xiang Yu lost not because he was "willful", but because he refused to bow his head and ask for help. Han Xin was not a coward when he was humiliated on the crotch. He was determined to kill that gangster and he would go to jail. It was not worth it. Zhang Liang picked up the old man's shoes not because he had a good temper, but because he saw at a glance that the old man could teach him his true skills. The truth of history is never found in the words of "Historical Records", but in the calculations of people's hearts. This book uses the roughest words to talk about the toughest human nature. There are no boring reign names and no awkward posthumous titles. There are only a group of gamblers who gamble their lives in troubled times. Some people bet their dignity, some are betting on their conscience, and some are betting on a bad life. Being beaten by life at the age of 48? Fine. Liu Bang will tell you throughout his life: As long as you have a thick skin, a dark heart, and a tough life, you will always have the opportunity to overturn the table and start over.
