Beijing Past Events
by Hong Zhu
About This Novel
The author of this book uses the Beijing people's unique sense of direction, taking time as the horizontal axis, from the ancient Bronze Age to the modern revolutionary movement; using space as the vertical axis, from the Forbidden City in the center to the Ming Tombs in the suburbs, unfolding the story layer by layer.

Serious book review
The reviews and ratings for this book can be said to be quite deserted. As a foreigner who is not in Beijing, reading Beijing Past Events can increase my understanding of Beijing, which is unfamiliar to me but is the political center of our country. As a lover of history, I am very happy to see the historical stories, classics, and historical facts in it. I like this kind of book because this kind of book is serious and serious, and I can learn something, not just a boring pastime. But this kind of serious and boring thing with real content is the most disliked and easily ignored by people. This is the case with this book. The author's writing style is very good, the language is popular, simple and clear, which can expand people's knowledge and give people a general understanding of all aspects of Beijing. The author quoted scriptures and classics, which also shows that the author is knowledgeable. This book is for people who really want to learn something. This is the essence of an author's thoughts. It not only narrates the story of Beijing objectively and coldly, but also contains the author's feelings about his family and country, and his worries. This book is the longest one I have read so far, and it is indeed boring to read, but I am still gritting my teeth and persevering. I know this is a good book. I should finish it. If you also like this type of book, don't miss it. Read it down. You will learn a lot.
