"Traveling to the South and Returning to the North" (classic three volumes) is divided into three parts: "Crossing to the South", "Returning to the North" and "Farewell". It tells the story of a large number of intellectuals in the last century who braved the artillery fire of the Anti-Japanese War and moved from the Central Plains to the southwest, and then returned to the Central Plains. The entire work spans nearly a century, and the characters involved include most of the masters in the field of humanities in the 20th century, such as Cai Yuanpei, Wang Guowei, Liang Qichao, Mei Yiqi, Chen Yinke, Qian Zhongshu, etc. The work makes a detailed exploration and disclosure of the fate of these intellectual groups, and provides a reasonable and well-founded explanation of various karma, love, and hatred. It makes people feel enlightened and at the same time sighing and sighing.
★"Traveling to the South and Returning to the North." Is the first part of "Crossing to the South and Returning to the North". It describes the lives of Chinese intellectuals and national elites before and after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, as well as the story of their exile in the southwest from enemy-occupied areas. The time begins with the July 7 Marco Polo Bridge Incident in 1937, followed by the fall of Pingjin, and universities such as Peking University, Tsinghua University, and Nankai University moved southward and westward. It started in Changsha, then Kunming, and the years of running schools in Mengzi. It also involves the Institute of History and Philology of the Academia Sinica, Tongji University, and the China Construction Society as they trudged through the flames of the Anti-Japanese War. It prominently describes the life, academic, spirit and sentiments of great intellectuals such as Cai Yuanpei, Hu Shi, Chen Yinke, Fu Sinian, Liang Sicheng, Li Ji, Lin Huiyin, Jin Yuelin, Mei Yiqi, Feng Youlan, etc. The collection is huge, the scale is grand, and the intention is grand. It can be called a group of Chinese intellectuals during the Anti-Japanese War.
★"Going South and Returning to the North. Returning to the North" is the second part of "Going South and Returning to the North". It focuses on describing the academic pursuits, ideological changes and different life experiences of intellectuals who fled to the southwest before and after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. The time span is from the middle and late stages of the Anti-Japanese War to the end of 1948, when the National Government rushed to transport national treasures and "rescue scholars" plans, as well as the election of the first academician of the Academia Sinica. It prominently reproduces the strong will of Dong Zuobin, Joseph Needham, Tong Dizhou, Tao Menghe, Shen Xingren, Liang Siyong, Jiang Menglin, Wen Yiduo, Liu Wendian, Luo Yong, Zheng Tianting, Wu Han and other Chinese and foreign intellectuals who were displaced and indomitable in the difficult years of national peril. It restores the truth about the Southwestern Associated University Chao and Wen Yiduo's assassination cases from different angles, and makes an in-depth and detailed exploration and revelation of the differentiation and evolution of intellectual groups in the tide of the times.
★"The Journey to the South and Return to the North. Farewell" is the third part of "The Journey to the South and Return to the North". It describes the intellectuals who were exiled in the southwest. After returning to their long-lost homeland, they had to bear the pain of leaving due to the outbreak of the war. They looked at each other from afar, and the drastic changes in fate they encountered in the different living and social environments on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. In addition to describing Zhu Jiahua, Hu Shi, Mei Yiqi, Fu Sinian, Li Ji, Dong Zuobin, Shi Zhangru, Jiang Menglin, Ye Gongchao and other masters who moved to Taiwan, it also focuses on describing Liang Sicheng and Liang Sicheng who stayed in the mainland. Yong, Lin Huiyin, Chen Yinke, Wu Jinding, Zeng Zhaoluan, Zeng Zhaoxuan, Chen Mengjia, Mu Dan, Xiang Da, Ye Qisun, Rao Yutai, Wu Mi, Qian Zhongshu and other intellectual groups have different ideal pursuits and love and hatred. While making readers sigh with regret, they can also benefit from "seeking historical knowledge in history".
Reader comments
Recommended reading!
An era that cannot be replicated, a difficult choice for a generation of intellectuals! The author uses documentary writing to show that everyone's life is closely related to social changes. In the main theme of grand narrative, I like to read works like this...
There are many famous people in history, and the most famous ones only left one page of biography. There are not many details about this person. Only modern history, which is not long enough, is possible for a more comprehensive narrative.
After reading this book, you will understand the true meaning of the saying that history is created by the masses. Those people who have become famous in history are actually just mortals with the same emotions and desires.
The author tells us in detail the life details of the two Southern Union teachers and students who persisted in their unyielding faith while being displaced during the national crisis, as well as the outstanding and colorful talents of the masters, which is deeply memorable.
All the consequences have been planted at the beginning. After reading it, I just feel distressed. Late justice is not justice at all. As long as you comfort yourself, time will always tolerate everything. Sadly, it is still the past. There is indeed no master after the master. Just like the three-body sophons, human physics has been sealed. Can there be a breakthrough in the future?
I have gained a lot from reading history and culture. The masters' thoughts of yearning for freedom are the driving force for us to move forward. [Praise]
The literary leaders since the May 4th Movement have moved south and north and returned to history, which is breathtaking. They are all great men, but they had ill-fated fates and were burdened by the turmoil and uncertainty of the country. What a pity!
Good book, worth pondering!
Many historical facts were revealed, and we learned more about the masters and the special era.
Before I retired, I taught at Yunnan Normal University. I admire the history of Southwest Associated University. I have seen the lives of those passionate, patriotic and knowledgeable senior masters of the Southwest Associated University many times at the Southwest Associated University. I was moved to tears with admiration, so I carefully read Mr. Yue Nan's masterpiece "Southern Crossing and Returning to the North". The scenes written in the book are very familiar to me. Scenes, history, the author has paid a huge price and effort to truly reproduce the history of China in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China and the Anti-Japanese War period. Scholars and masters from China's higher education institutions such as Tsinghua University and Peking University have wonderful lives. Their lives have been ups and downs with the fate of the country, but the masters still have the mission of cultivating future generations to rejuvenate the country. It is admirable! Many masters work hard to teach and educate people despite being hungry. What makes me even more sad is that many of them met extremely tragic ends in special times. I have cried so many times that I can't stand it anymore... I am grateful to the author for collecting so much information and writing such a masterpiece so that people can understand the real history! I strongly recommend that people read this book, thank you!
After reading the entire book, I felt heavy. The knowledgeable professor insists on his own independent thinking, and his style is admirable. It is a pity that in the catastrophe, lives and true talents and learning were lost. Our life today has become affluent, but in the modern affluence, we have lost a lot... There are no what-ifs in the world, and modern culture does not represent modern civilization.
Every era has its own sufferings, and every era has its own mission. No matter whether we are masters or all living beings, we cannot escape the torrent of the times. It can drown you or carry you forward.
Not to mention the book, just the collection and interpretation of historical materials is staggering, not to mention the dense structure, clear branches and clear veins, complex and coherent, and always clear.
This method seems to test the author's meticulousness and overall planning skills as well as the corresponding clear and elegant language skills.
It's a good book that's long to be read and thought about, and you'll want to keep your eyes peeled for it.
From a passion - Paradox against one's will - Living an ignoble existence - Life is worse than death
A true interpretation of the unpredictable changes of a generation of scientific giants and cultural giants
life experience
It can be called a classic that has been handed down from generation to generation.
The description of historical figures is multi-dimensional and objective, restoring many historical truths and subverting the images of many historical figures. After reading it, you will have mixed feelings!
That is a generation of intellectual groups that are particularly worthy of admiration and learning from our descendants.
I particularly like Chen Yinke in the book. He still persists in academic research during difficult years. This spirit is so admirable. And Lin Huiyin, her talent and tenacity also left a deep impression on me. This book allowed me to see the persistence and ideals of people of that era. It is worth reading.
It is true and objective, revealing China's modern history that cannot be read.
The detailed historical materials and rich stories make it seem like it was yesterday when you read it; the rich image and the erudite master make it seem like you are right in front of your eyes. Looking up at the mountains, I especially admire the profound knowledge, rigorous scholarship and noble character of the masters.
Get to know people, and find a running path among thousands of intertwined connections.
The twists and turns of the fate of a generation of intellectuals moving forward in a storm, knowing the hardships of that time
After finally watching it, political games are indeed a disaster for mankind. Ignorance and barbarism are also human disasters. It's true that "Don't talk about the matter of ennobling a marquis according to the king, one general will make thousands of bones wither."
A good book that restores the historical truth
Very objective and sincere
Summarize it in six words: tragic, desolate, and depressing.
Precious historical information
The author really dares to write, does he put Jin Yuelin at the end just to heal me a little?
History is written by suffering, and embracing civilization is the true hope of every kind person.
[Like] Seek truth from facts and respect history. Although there is a tendency, the gains outweigh the losses.
Respect knowledge and respect teachers. He is knowledgeable about the present and will be famous for centuries.
A history book worth reading
Very strong! Very shocking! So sorry!
A good book that respects history
There is no way out in the mountains and rivers, but there is another village with dark willows and bright flowers.
