Preserving Culture for the Country: Zheng Zhenduo's Diary of Rescued Rare Documents and Letters
About This Novel
During the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese invaders wreaked havoc in the south of the Yangtze River. Four hundred years of culture and education since the Ming Dynasty were destroyed, and the public and private collections of the past dynasties were displaced. Suddenly, the trade in ancient books flourished in the Shanghai Concession. After the disaster, all the national treasures fell into the hands of foreigners. At this critical moment, Zheng Zhenduo contacted Shanghai scholars such as Zhang Yongni, and with the support of Chen Lifu, he secretly formed the "Shanghai Document Preservation Comrades" to rescue precious ancient books and documents. Preserving culture for the country is like fighting on the battlefield. Scholars are also warriors. They can only move forward and never retreat.
