Chapter 53 postscript

The predecessors wrote the history, and the later generations read the books. It feels like the predecessors planted trees and the descendants took advantage of the shade. There is only one tree, but what you read is thousands of mottled.Forty years from the end of the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China was not too long, but the chaos of ebb and flow was not often seen in history.Due to the entanglement of various ideologies, preferences, and interest entanglements, both writers and readers of history will inevitably be disturbed by the truth or historical fog, and many historical events may not be easily seen through. .Because of this, future generations are more excited and interesting to read this period of history, because there are too many mysteries and too many historical details worthy of people's exploration and nitpicking.

Reading the history of the Republic of China, I read my heart with thousands of waves.Such a small book is not enough to outline the history of the Republic of China, but we can get a glimpse of the history from the details.The truth of history often lies in the scrutiny of details, and the process of scrutiny itself is a kind of speculation. In fact, there is no such thing as an eternal "conclusion" in the myriad forms of history.Because of this, when Mr. Dan Fei asked the author for a manuscript on the theme of "shooting history", the author readily complied.Before this, the author had a very pleasant cooperation with Mr. Dan Fei, whose talent, ability and reputation are all admired by the author. It is also an honor for the author to be included in the big series this time.

To be honest, although this draft is a popular story, its difficulty and writing time far exceeded the author's expectations.As mentioned earlier, details are often a sharp weapon to penetrate the historical truth, but a seemingly casual article requires a large amount of information to strive to be easy to understand, objective and fair.After the completion of each article, the author is trembling and feels that it is not easy. After repeated consideration and revision, I still cannot satisfy myself completely, and the final judgment has to be carried out by the readers. It is particularly worth mentioning that when the manuscript was about to be completed, my baby Jin Zibei was born half a month ahead of the expected date, which also made the writing time unexpectedly prolonged.The birth of the baby has messed up many things, but the author feels more joy.Since the author is used to writing at night, the little baby has become his father's loyal companion. Every time when the thinking is blocked, the little baby is always a source of inspiration.Even if the baby cries occasionally and interrupts the writing, the time when the author is holding her is the best time to sort out the structure of the article.In this sense, the little baby Jin Zibei has made great contributions to this manuscript.Of course, the hardest one is the baby mother. Here, the author would like to express my deepest respect for her dedication, tolerance and silent support.

Thinking makes the world wider. If this small book can give readers some insight and enlightenment, that would be the author's greatest comfort.
