    Every chapter is a thread, each with a bead of person, e.g. Li Zhi the bead on the thread of mindset and Qi Jiguang - military system. Those threads were intertwined with each other and became an unsolvable Chinese Gordian knot that strangled their throat.

    万历十五年,这个貌似无足轻重的年份,标志了明王朝能够触及的上限,不管皇帝是励精图治还是不理朝政,不管首辅是锐意进取还是循规蹈矩,不管将军是足智多谋还是平庸无能,不管文官是清正廉明还是贪污腐败,不管哲人是激进极端还是保守中庸,最终一切都徒劳无功。

    Thought provoking. It portraits great men in the light of comprehensiveness. They were all just human after all.

    最近重读了这本书,就像回到了中学时代。不知道为什么总想起很久以前看的《黑炮事件》——黄仁宇就像是赵书信。他只是想做好自己的事情——无形中却不得不面对整个(学术)权力体制。
