　　Publishing his first work in 1986, Eryuehe was most famous for his Emperor Series, comprising The Great Emperor Kangxi, Emperor Yongzheng, and Emperor Qianlong. Due to widespread piracy, there are no accurate statistics of how many copies of the books have been sold, but it is said to have surpassed 10 million.

　　They tell the stories of the three-generation emperors, Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong, in the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), under whose reins the country prospered while being confronted with problems such as corruption, rivalry among royal siblings jostling for power, invasions, and territory disputes.

　　Thanks to his vivid and profound description of the shocking corruption of the Qing Dynasty, Eryuehe was often regarded as an “expert of anti-corruption”. In 2014, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection invited him as the first guest speaker for its online program Listen to Masters .

　　由于糖尿病引起的眼疾，近年来二月河长期不能读写，但他一直在讲反腐倡廉。作为一名历史小说家，他对许多社会问题都很敏感，尤其是腐败问题。

　　"I would think about the social phenomena that I observed and use my influence to make my contribution to the solutions," he said in an interview.

　　他在一次采访中说：“当我观察到的一些社会现象时我会深思一些问题，并利用我的影响力为解决方案做出贡献。”

　　He observed that corruption did not only exist among the rich and the powerful, but also had become a universal social phenomenon as a consequence of consumerism.
