Curator note

I've heard that those who subscribe to the Mohist concept of "anti-fatalism" always hold their heads high, determined to "gamble their lives on fate." I am but a historian from Zhongzhou, and when I look up, I see a sky full of stars. The fates of emperors, heroes, and villains are all contained within those stars. But that is for the future; I only write about the past. The history of Zhongzhou after the Han Dynasty will eventually await an observer, and here I stand with a pot of tea and a summer's starry sky. "Let's wait... History will not be forgotten, regardless of whether there were heroes in it..." My new game, "The Ring of Dragon's Merit," will be released around March. I hope you'll support it then.
