📌 ONE QUESTION FROM THE BOOK
What is the right governance for the people?
📝ONGO's Reflection
When I first encountered these oldest records of the sovereigns, I was deeply moved by the heavy sense of responsibility within them and by the spirit of "revering Heaven and loving the people." The stern teaching that a ruler must fear Heaven and heed the voice of the people comes as a sobering warning even to the leaders of today, thousands of years later. If you wish to behold the original archetype of true leadership, I hope you will open the first page of this majestic classic.
