Chapter 7 Book Review: A Brilliant Historical Drama

——Read Mr. Xu Baike's Text / Fleeting Years Speaking of the period of the Republic of China, which is less than a hundred years away from us, everyone has a feeling of familiarity and strangeness.The period of the Republic of China is not far away from us, but due to the influence of the times, the narration of the characters in the Republic of China was emphasized in certain periods. Some distorted mirror images in mind.So, we have gradually forgotten about who those people really were, or even their authenticity. However, the Republic of my country, the period when our country came out of the old feudal system, was a place where new and old ideas, Chinese and Western ideas collided and collided. The old Chinese culture and the new Western trends of thought blended together to form a colorful variety of colors, forming a unique The unique "Republic of China characteristics" also created the unique group of "real celebrities" in the Republic of China.

The Republic of China was a troubled time. In the troubled times, people tended to pay more attention to those "presidents" who "coaxed you to sing and let me come on stage", those "generals" who embraced their troops and ceded their territories, flaunted their might, and blew their beards and stared. So about the warlords in the Republic of China There are also quite a few books about politicians.But there are not too many descriptions about the literati in the Republic of China and some intellectuals in other industries.In this book, principals of prestigious schools, journalists who serve the country with articles, intellectuals who devote themselves to learning and serve the country with academics as their bounden duty, diplomats who represent China in front of the world, and elites in the financial sector, etc. are all vividly presented on paper. superior.

Sometimes I feel that the period of the Republic of China is more like the Jin Dynasty. Although it was a chaotic world full of wars and blood, there are still many cute and interesting people and things.The characters of the Wei and Jin Dynasties recorded in the portrait are all full of personality and have become interesting stories through the ages. After reading this book, I feel more and more similar to the period of the Republic of China. Those people and events in the book, through the careful tailoring of Mr. Xu Baike, bring us a spiritual feast with many flavors and endless aftertaste.The Confucian-style physicist Wu Dayou, Gongkai’s Zhao Zichen who wrote about Jesus, Lin Baishui who died as a retribution, and the famous professor Zeng Zhaolun who was slovenly, etc., the actions of these academic elites in the Republic of China seem to be very similar to those of Wei Wei. Those characters who are strong in Jin Dynasty.They are intellectual elites who are well-educated, but sometimes they behave like innocent children. They have an unstoppable enthusiasm for academics, and they often do shocking things in the world. They are arrogant and unyielding in dealing with power and violence. , Such a person is cute, respectable and lamentable.

In fact, it is these people who shoulder the important task of replacing old and new cultures. They are not only the guardians of traditional culture, but also the pioneers of new ideas. Knowledge, taste, demeanor, and mind make us look up at mountains from time to time, and even feel ashamed. The characters of the Republic of China are as bright as stars, and they are diverse, which is both easy to write and difficult to write.It is said that it is easy to write because the materials of the Republic of China are relatively abundant; it is not easy to write because the materials of the Republic of China are abundant, so it is easy to fall into the quagmire of chaos and chaos.In Mr. Xu Baike's book, it is simple but not complicated, and carefully sorted out. The life of each of these figures in the Republic of China can be written into a book alone. Collected in a book, even so, there is absolutely no feeling of thinness and paleness. The life and the brightest stories of these characters are vividly displayed in the book, which can be described as fine and unbroken.

In this book, history is no longer a simple mixture of years, names, and numbers, but a wonderful drama of the world.These real moments in history should not be dimmed with time and should not be forgotten by people.The cover of this book is light yellow, like old yellowed paper, reminiscent of those dusty old things.Behind the unrevealed corner of the book cover, there are endless wonderful stories.History always makes people ponder, and history always inspires people. We will find more treasures of thought in the sleeping history.
