About This Book
"Cho Han ji," recently completed series by novelist Yi Mun-yol, dates
back to BC 218 and illustrates the deadly competition, strategies and
leadership of the Han Dynasty's Liu Bang and Chin Dynasty's Xiang Yu who
both wished to reunite China. The novel continues until Liu Bang finally
succeeds in BC 202. Unlike Yi's other works, such as "Romance of the
Three Kingdoms," "Cho Han ji" is not based on an original text. The
author wrote his version based on "Records on the Grand Historian," by
Chinese scholar Sima Qian, and used other ancient books and scripts for
additional information. "It's a historic novel, so it's not all fiction.
I had to look up historical information to illustrate certain events in
the novel," the 60-year-old Yi said. Liu Bang and Xiang Yu's drastically
different war strategies and tactics are an interesting feature of the
book. According to history, Liu Bang was laid back and composed, while
Xiang Yu was as strong as an ox, but also arrogant. "The leadership is
what readers should focus on when reading. They both have very different
personalities and leadership strategies, so comparing the two is
interesting," said Yi.
