- 1 A First-Rank Official 官居一品 Count the heroes, weigh their triumphs and defeats: a century passes like a dream, yet their hearts burn with purpose. They strive to govern wisely and save a crumbling realm, even if a flood of infamy follows them beyond the grave. They scorn death and cherish the rise and fall of nations, traveling alone through storms and tempests. Who wouldn't wish the Great Wall to stand forever?
