Life History in the Silver Dollar Era

About This Novel

This is one of two life diaries written by Mr. Chen Cunren, a famous Chinese medicine practitioner. This book records the author's life memories when he lived in Shanghai from the late Qing Dynasty to the early Republic of China to before World War II. The book focuses on the "silver dollar", a currency at that time, and details the social, economic and political changes in Shanghai during those thirty years through personal experiences. Zhang Taiyan's arrogance, Wu Zhihui's humor, Yu Youren's passion, Ding Fubao's shrewdness, Xie Liheng's erudition... These historical figures appear so vivid and amiable in the author's writing.
