Waves Before and After: the Spiritual World of Modern Chinese Intellectuals
by Xu Jilin
About This Novel
"The Waves Before and After", flying over a hundred years, starts anew on the historical extension of the previous brother book "Pulsing China", continues to explore the spiritual roots of contemporary Chinese people, focuses on case studies of the mental journeys of hundreds of intellectual elites, and pays attention to our China in the past hundred years. Without the late Qing Dynasty, there would be no May Fourth Movement; without the May Fourth Movement, how would there be a revolution? Many of the secrets of the Chinese revolution can be traced back to the radical intellectuals of the late Qing Dynasty. Throughout the history of modern Chinese intellectuals, we can see two lines, three generational changes and four internal divisions. In a sense, the changing times and internal differentiation of modern Chinese intellectuals reflect the depth and breadth of their inner spiritual world, as well as the richness and complexity of the historical world of modern China.
