Reader comments
By reading this book by Li Hongzhang, I have increased my understanding of this person. The image of a great traitor in the past was unfair. To evaluate a person, you need to consider the historical background of the time. There are many biographies of such historical figures. The more you read, the better. This book is very good and worth recommending.
A true and comprehensive description of Li Hongzhang's life. This book strives to restore the historical truth and allows us to see a flesh-and-blood character, allowing us to think more about modern history.
The description of late Qing society in the book is also very realistic, making me feel like I was actually there. When I think of Li Hongzhang, I have to mention Zeng Guofan. They were both important figures in the late Qing Dynasty. This set of books made me think more about their relationship. Just like what is said in the book, "The husband holds the Wu hook with only one hand, and his spirit is higher than that of a hundred-foot building." Their high spirits and firm determination are admirable.
I think Li Hongzhang is indeed our country's first diplomat.
Li Hongzhang was loyal to the country throughout his life, founded the Huai Army, promoted coastal defense, engaged in foreign affairs, opened mines, built railways, ran post offices and telegraphs, and was in charge of diplomacy... The author tells the story in a concise, comprehensive, lively and interesting way. Li Hongzhang is a capable person who always steps up to the plate and creates a career that has not been done for three thousand years. The merits and demerits of thousands of years will be commented by future generations!
Great book with great literary brilliance
The energy is irritated and whipped into the intestines.
The general context is fine. Li Hongzhang is written so perfectly.
Teacher Xiao, I have read a lot of officialdom novels in the past, and I admire his writing style very much. He has profound literary skills and is a writer who graduated from a Chinese major. This time I saw the historical track, I must watch it and give it a thumbs up!
This sad and good book allows us to understand Li Hongzhang, a great man of his generation, his name, martial arts and martial arts, who dedicated his whole life to the Qing Dynasty!
Wonderful, fascinating
Li Hongzhang's writing is very good. I want to buy this set of documents. Where can I buy it?
With clear structure and rich content, it is a biographical novel worth reading! We can understand Li Hongzhang and his legendary life more objectively! [Like][Like]
I admire the loyal man who cared about the country and the people. I am fortunate to read Li Hongzhang who is really objective.
I stayed up late to read it and couldn't stop! !
Read it again when you have time
Like to recommend very much
I came from the book "Zuo Zongtang". I didn't like Li Hongzhang at first. Like Zuo Zongtang, I felt that he had to negotiate for everything and was too cowardly. Until I saw a little bit at the end of "Zuo Zongtang" that "The reason why Hu Xueyan purchased a large amount of raw silk was because he would not let the machine "Replace labor, otherwise workers will have no income." Li Hongzhang's opinion of Hu Xueyan's point of view at that time was "women are benevolent, and industrialization is an inevitable trend." This sentence woke me up, and instantly made me feel enlightened and completely changed. In that era when everyone only knew their own one-third of an acre, some people were already looking at the whole world. Who could say this must be a very remarkable person!
Li Hongzhang is worthy of being one of the four famous ministers of the late Qing Dynasty!
Still historically true. Taste the life of Li Hongzhang.
This book is rich in content, spans a long time, involves many characters, has simple language, concise narrative, and sometimes contains aphorisms. Worth reading.
