Niu Shi·late Qing Dynasty
by Tan Boniu
About This Novel
The book takes time as its warp and characters' stories as its latitude. Based on extensive historical materials, it starts with details and clarifies many misunderstandings in the dazzling history of the late Qing Dynasty from a human perspective. It once again demonstrates Tan Boniu's proficiency in history and understanding of human nature, and finely polishes a military and political world in the late Qing Dynasty that is different from your impression. The things here may be rare to those who know them, but they are worth remembering; the people here, even if they think about them a hundred years later, will still make people today deeply admire them. Here are Zeng Guofan, a famous minister of the ZTE who loves to complain, Zuo Zongtang who is chatty, and Li Hongzhang who is a ruffian; there is also the famous general Bao Chao who turned the tide by himself; Qian Amu, the "Ocean" who has superb political skills but can't see the direction of the times... In Tan Boniu's works, the heroes of the late Qing Dynasty escape from the stereotyped impression frame of you and me, and they are either solemn or harmonious, sad or happy, showing their vivid humanity.
