About This Novel

"Observing the Situation and Observing the Wind: Memory, Public Opinion and Society in Modern China" focuses on the memory and imagination of the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. From the perspective of the people at that time, it uses a large number of private documents to focus on the reading history of Zeng Guofan, the experience of the Revolution of 1911, and the May Fourth Records of modern Chinese intellectuals. Memories and reminiscences, Peking memories and cultural participation of anti-Japanese intellectuals, and social expectations around 1949 were discussed in depth. It is hoped that the complex features of modern Chinese intellectuals and society can be presented from a new perspective and with richer writing. The individual lives, memory fragments and ideological competition that "Observing the Situation and Observing the Wind: Memory, Public Opinion and Society in Modern China" attempts to trace are undoubtedly the lingering charm of modern China, and there is more of a fierce side, because in the so-called great changes unseen in three thousand years, waves of historical waves have swept under it, with fierce ambitions and repeated defeats. The trends and currents are worthy of revisiting and subdividing. Previously, for These appearances tend to be too realistic and pay less attention to the souls in all things. However, under the too rigid appearance, there are often twists and turns of the soul. Only people "know in which direction the wind is blowing" (borrowing Xu Zhimo's words). If we cannot find another way to this, regain the emphasis on "people" and shine the light of latent virtue, of course we will not be able to deeply understand the society that breeds these souls.
