This book is a collection of well-known historian Lei Yi's reading notes over more than 20 years. According to the content, it is divided into five parts, namely: "Worrying about the world and exploring the changes in the world", Part 2 "Through the cracks of history", Part 3 "Don't let the years pass by in vain", Part 4 "The annual rings of the spirit", and Part 5 "Thinking deeply in world history". In Lei Yi's view, the reading history of an era, that is, the spiritual development and growth history of a generation, is the mutual memory of the reading of the era and personal experience, which can reconstruct a person's knowledge, mind and thought map. In Lei Yi's reading notes, he talks less about historical events and more about capturing the daily lives of ordinary people in the context of the times, including rich details of their food, clothing, housing, transportation, joys and sorrows.
Reader comments
This book is very meaningful. It allowed me to see historical changes from the lives of ordinary people. As the author said, history stimulates imagination and makes us think about the past and present. I like the daily descriptions of ordinary people in the book. These details make history real and vivid. After giving birth to a child, I can better understand the impact of the times on people, and I hope that my children can learn wisdom from history and become responsible people. Mr. Bo Yang's book has benefited me a lot and I recommend it to you!
