About This Novel
Shen Yiyun is the wife of Huang Yong, a prominent political figure in the early Republic of China. She has witnessed the turbulent Chinese politics in modern history. This book is a first-hand historical material for studying the political arena in the early Republic of China and is of extremely high value. Huang Yong had close relations with Sun Yat-sen, Chen Qimei, Huang Xing and others before and after the Revolution of 1911, and became sworn brothers with Chen Qimei and Chiang Kai-shek, but he was not a member of the Kuomintang. He has held important positions in the Beiyang government. In the "Beijing coup" launched by Feng Yuxiang, he was the man behind the scenes and played an important role. After Chiang Kai-shek established the National Government in Nanjing, he immediately became the political soul of the Chiang family. From this book of memories, we can understand Huang's character and way of dealing with the world, and witness that Huang's ideal is to continue to complete the unfinished business of the Revolution of 1911. We can also see Huang Yong's difficult situation as a person who had a great influence on Chiang Kai-shek's governance, which also reflects the reasons for Chiang Kai-shek's final failure.
