"Song Ping" was a general in ancient China whose legs cut off from the lost war by enemy country. Legend says that he still fought and could lead his country to victory at the end.
"Song Zi" has several meanings in war history. There are several note-worthy advices with respect to the war. Before this book came out, people believed that to win or lose in a war was God will.

It says, however, "War affects not only army and government of a country, but also people, food production, and national wealth. Therefore, the decision makers should not easily exercise this option.""Song Zi" was The Textbook for famous generals in the history.
