Paper Rings: a Private Reader's Guide to China over the Centenary Years Since the Republic of China (updated Edition)
About This Novel
100 years of China, 100 annual rings, 100 vicissitudes of life. "Who passed down this industry? Hang a lamp in the dusk." An ordinary reader, with a simple mood, made a year-round reading among the common reading materials, starting from the year of the Revolution of 1911. Hundreds of reading materials and thousands of short essays in and out of books over the past century have gradually gathered into annual rings on paper. The books in "The Wheel" include classics, teaching materials, and textbooks; there are politics; there are wars and peace; there are praises and criticisms; there are "New Self-cultivation" in the early years of the Republic of China, and there are also newly published "Desolate Collections"... There is no stick to one, and you can read as you go. The formation of annual rings is irregular but natural, and truly reflects the civilian nature of reading. As the author said in the preface, "it is not difficult for everyone who has read books and written compositions." The "annual rings" of books are also the "annual rings" of people.
