The 2021 "Chinese Good Books" and "Harvest Literature List" top long non-fiction list. "The Forty Degrees North Latitude" is the first major cultural essay that explores the Forty Degrees North Latitude. Taking the long history of China as the longitude and the geographical zone of 40 degrees north latitude as the latitude, a unique picture of the country through the ages has been drawn. This book uses detailed historical materials and vivid and humorous writing to reshape historical figures through a series of stories on the basis of strict respect for history. In the narration of these stories and characters, we hope to open up a hidden aspect of history and present our own views of history in the context of different nations learning from each other and shaping each other. This book is a perfect combination of the delicate writing style of literary creation and the rigorous attitude of historical research. After some chapters of this book were serialized in "Harvest" magazine, it received a strong response among readers.
