This is a great book that you won't want to put down.
The author is a famous contemporary documentary literature writer with numerous books. He interviewed a large number of historical figures and recorded a large number of key historical events in a literary way.
This book can be seen as a compilation of the author's interview notes. Different from the text of those documentary literary works, these essays are more lively and observe those once all-powerful figures from a more personal perspective, making those characters more full and three-dimensional.
There should be more literati with lofty ideals who can truly and objectively reflect the history of that year and month, stimulate people's thinking, and prevent the recurrence of historical tragedies in their identification.
Read Mr. Ye Yonglie's words like watching a historical documentary!
The language is vivid and simple, and it describes many historical details truly and objectively, allowing everyone to understand the life experiences of some unknown historical figures.
This book is well worth reading and thought-provoking.
It's a bit straightforward, but it increases my knowledge and I know a lot of things I've never heard of or seen before. 👍
It is true and unpretentious, allowing us to understand the historical truth, and we hope to see more of Ye Yonglie's masterpieces.
A book I always love to read!
Perhaps out of confidentiality, many things in the haunting incident have never been heard of. Ye Yonglie gave us a clue. It would be better if we could find some of the original texts.
Search for the distant history and pay tribute to those who spoke out for fairness and justice!
