Reader comments
This book allowed me to see the style of those gentlemen during the Republic of China. Their indirectness, ignorance, and madness all had a unique charm. Mr. Ji Xianlin's writing is simple and elegant, making me feel like I am in that era. This reminds me of "Returning from the South to the North", which is also about the characters of that era, but has a different perspective and style. "The Gentlemen of the Republic of China" is more like a character portrait, while "The Journey to the South and Return to the North" is more like a historical drama. Recommended to friends who like the history and characters of the Republic of China.
Sincere feelings! Like a parent! Friendly and natural! Unpretentious! The form is scattered but the spirit remains. It is worthy of being a work by a master of prose! The words are endless but the meaning is endless! [Like][Like][Like]
