About This Novel
This book truly records the influential figures in the society of the Republic of China. Some of the anecdotes are unexpected: Christian General Feng Yuxiang was actually a hypocritical and changeable person; Chen Huan fell into decline in his later years and concentrated on studying physiognomy and divination; Wu Peifu was used to being domineering and still maintained a high airs after he stepped down; He Chengjun believed that he was the reincarnation of Sun Wukong, and specially prepared a secret room to collect supplements from young girls to maintain their health; Wang Kemin liked male sex, and one of his lovers was a certain doctor, a famous actor in the theater world; Kong Xiang was intolerant of vulgarity, and spoke English with a Shanxi accent. It also records some historical mysteries, such as the death of Zhang Zongchang, which was committed by a killer ordered by Han Fuju, etc. It is worth noting that the author, as a Japanese, had many favorable comments about the anti-Japanese generals at that time, such as Zhang Zizhong and Zhao Dengyu, but he was very disgusted with Doihara Kenji and others. The relevant historical facts recorded are relatively objective and fair.
