Things About Zuo Zongtang in the Northwest

Zuo Zongtang was called "the greatest man in five hundred years" by Liang Qichao. Among the six major wars against foreign invasion in China's modern history, the recovery of Xinjiang and Lang Son - the Zhennanguan victory were the only two victories, both of which were inseparable from Zuo Zongtang. The book "Zuo Zongtang's Things in the Northwest" mainly describes the history of Zuo Zongtang, a famous general in the late Qing Dynasty, who managed the northwest and regained Xinjiang in his later years. Professor Chen Mingfu personally traveled the route of Zuo Zongtang's Western Expedition in his seventies, successfully shaped Zuo Zongtang's distinctive character with a high sense of historical responsibility, showed the legendary life course of this national hero, filled in the shortcomings and deficiencies in Zuo Zongtang's biography writing over the past hundred years, and strived to give an objective and fair evaluation of the various controversies about Zuo Zongtang. In addition, this book also comes with a film script "Zuo Zongtang Recovers Xinjiang" written by the famous naval writer Li Zhongxiao to commemorate Zuo Zongtang's birth anniversary, which is also a highlight.
