Random Notes from Qianlu Studio

The author mentions many times that he comes from a family of warriors throughout the ages. Fair and generous character. Not involved in any politics. In addition, he has superb medical skills and has come into contact with too many famous people. You can have better opportunities to observe the performance and ideological style of various celebrities during the Republic of China at multiple levels and angles. In addition, as a foreigner, he can look at the behavior of the characters at that time more objectively and fairly. In fact, you can learn about rare historical documents such as famous political celebrities and cultural celebrities during the Republic of China!

This book is a memoir of a Japanese doctor and is worth reading. Because he had many medical contacts with famous warlords in those days, he knew many secrets of these big guys. The doctor is kind-hearted, apolitical, objective and neutral, and the warlords he reviews are close to the truth. Speaking eloquently, as if talking about family life, uncovering the veil of these brilliant bosses, most of them have ugly, shameless, dirty and despicable faces behind them. Feng Fengxian, the rich man Kong, Xuegong (He) who was promiscuous and prostituted virgins, the cunning and vicious Xiao, Song Zheyuan, who is both the leader and the rat, etc. There are also some less well-known positive figures, upright, selfless and dedicated people, even Japanese doctors admire them.

This book is very interesting! From a Japanese perspective, the author records many influential figures and historical mysteries during the Republic of China period, and the content is objective and fair. Moreover, some of the descriptions of characters in the book are also very vivid, such as "Feng Yuxiang is hypocritical and changeable" and "Wu Peifu is domineering", which gave me a deeper understanding of these historical figures. All in all, this is a good book worth reading.

It is gentle and eloquent, and its attitude towards life and social insights are all in it. The characters mentioned are all lifelike, and the charm of the words is fully revealed; the descriptions and discussions are accurate and fair. This is a good book to understand the celebrities and social mood of the time. The author is Japanese, but he maintains a distanced attitude towards militarism. His comments are relatively objective and fair, which is more in line with his status as a famous doctor in Shanghai at that time. There is a typo, he should be a famous doctor in the capital. Apologize!

Many times, these documentary works are more enjoyable than novels. Because the true story is more charming, not to mention that the protagonists in the article are all celebrities from the Republic of China period! As a Japanese who admires Chinese culture so much, and the words, deeds, and character traits of these people are described in such detail, which is both vivid and dramatic, it is really fascinating!

From the perspective of a foreigner living in China, he recounts the strange stories about his old capital and the military and political affairs of the early Republic of China. It is not easy to do so in a peaceful and non-political way, and it has a sense of what is new to the world.

The accounts of people who have personally experienced history make me sigh.

It is spoken eloquently, without any pretense, but it raises thunder in the silent place, and clears the way of clouds and mist with one sentence.

A Japanese perspective is more objective and clearly sees the current situation in China at that time...

The accounts of those who witnessed the history are worth reading. Plus, as a foreigner, the authenticity should be even higher.
