Q: Why people called Wang Anshi ”the bull-headed premier” and how did he treat to the man who differed from him?
A: Because Wang Anshi was impractical and terribly stubborn that was unable to take other advice and unwilling to admit a mistake.
He alienated the good old ministers and his best friends, dismissed officials who disagreed with his policies form their post and promoted unknown and unqualified men who agreed with him but used him for their own purposes at the same time. He gave up the tradition of ancestors by cashiering censors who fought for their freedom of criticism, which is necessary for the emperor to know the public opinion and make true decisions.

2. Wang anshih had therefore begun to dislike Szema Kuang as opposed to his policies.
这句话有两个地方很有意思。一个是现在完成时的运用，还有as后面直接跟了形容词。

我们说会用As Confucius said. 不如quoting这个词简单，也更精准。
