About This Book
A niece's biographical account traces her relative's rise from early service in China to long stewardship of the imperial customs, detailing administrative reforms, institution-building such as postal and fiscal systems, and the formation of a private band. It interweaves episodes of diplomacy and military crisis during rebellions, key negotiations and missions, domestic life and family events, honors received, the disruption of the capital during a siege, and reflections on the changing governance and daily realities encountered across decades of service.
