Reflection on the Completed Work

Originally, I wanted to write a simple ending for the final extra chapter, but as I kept writing, I couldn't control the length and ended up writing a lot.
To be honest, the ultimate fate of the Wei Dynasty is undoubtedly to be destroyed. There is nothing more to say about it. Feudal empires should be wiped out completely to ensure a better future. The existence of one person named Guo alone will not make the Wei Dynasty last forever. Guo cannot change the fundamental nature of the Wei Dynasty.
Future generations should not have any nostalgia for the Kingdom of Wei, just as Chinese people do not need to miss the Han and Tang dynasties. The majority of people who miss the Han and Tang dynasties are unconsciously placing themselves in the perspective of the privileged aristocrats and bureaucrats of those times, and in this perspective, the sufferings of the people are automatically ignored.
Is this good? This is not good.
The imperial dynasty has perished, wave a hand and say goodbye is enough, the heritage worth inheriting, such as land, population, technology, etc., can be passed down, the rest can be swept into the historical garbage heap, and we can spit on it by the way.
If possible, I believe Guo would most want a group of idealistic pragmatists to bury the Wei Empire with their own hands.
Unfortunately, the Wei Empire won't last until that time.
At first, when I was writing this story, I had no intention of writing a chapter after the unification.
I only planned to write about an actor's self-cultivation. I also know that most readers who enjoy the Three Kingdoms are only interested in the struggle for power and the joy of unification, enjoying battles between generals and the beauty of the country, lacking interest in other aspects.
But as I kept writing, when I reached that point, I couldn't resist the urge to continue writing further.
If the story of the actor ends abruptly, I will feel very disappointed.
Due to my lack of writing ability, some parts may be long-winded and some assumptions may have been made inaccurately, but fortunately, I managed to keep the plot under control. I have written a complete story with a somewhat satisfactory ending.
The story of Guo has come to an end, but our story is not over. Guo has completed a journey of seventy years, but our future is still long.
Therefore, there is no need to reminisce about Guo.
I have prepared a new book called "Enlightenment 1158", which tells the story of a person who despises the Southern Song Dynasty and Emperor Zhao Gou from the bottom of his heart and tries every means to rebel.
1158, the 28th year of the Shaoxing period of the Southern Song Dynasty.
In this era, the Four Great Inventions have been improved and applied in social production, including paper, gunpowder, imperial examination system, technology, developed commerce, abundant population, and productive forces far surpassing the Han and Tang Dynasties.
In the same era, the Jin Dynasty dominated the Central Plains, the Western Xia occupied the northwest, the Dali Kingdom held power in the southwest, and the Southern Song Dynasty was relatively secure in a corner.
In the vast northwest and Central Asia region, the Western Liao Empire has not yet abandoned its dream of reclaiming its lost territories.
On the vast grassland, the Mongol tribe is slowly developing, accumulating a terrifying power that is enough to overturn the world order.
How can one find a path towards light rather than sinking in this fragmented world of great strife?
Stay tuned.
