Chronicle of Three Kingdoms Figures is the third new work by Song Jie, author of A Study of Key Military Contested Areas and Offensive-Defensive Strategies in the Three Kingdoms. The book is divided into eight thematic sections: “Wei and Jin Storms (Part One),” “Wei and Jin Storms (Part Two),” “Shu Han Heroes and Martyrs,” “Eastern Wu Outstanding Talents,” “Diplomatic and Espionage Shadows,” “Mediocrities of a Chaotic Age,” “Women of Virtue and Talent,” and “Comprehensive Discussions of the Three Kingdoms.” It records and comments on rare anecdotes and interesting stories of the late Han and Three Kingdoms periods, presenting true historical traces that differ somewhat from the traditional narrative of Romance of the Three Kingdoms. From a unique perspective, it reveals the character traits of many figures such as Cao Cao, Cao Pi, Sima Yi and his sons, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan, and also offers some analysis and discussion of the wars, culture, and institutions of the time. “”””””””””””””” Song Jie was born in January 1952 in Beijing.
