Han Fei witnessed the poverty and weakness of South Korea at the end of the Warring States Period, and wrote to the king of South Korea many times, hoping to change the situation that governing the country at that time did not emphasize the rule of law, and what was not used and what was not used, but his idea was never adopted. Han Fei thinks this is an "upright minister who can't tolerate evil and waste." He retired from the book and wrote works such as Lonely Anger, Wu Annotation, Internal and External Existence, Talking about the Forest and Talking about Difficulties. ,100000 words.
