Qi Shiying, a party affairs expert of the Kuomintang, is in charge of Northeastern affairs. In 1962, he unsuccessfully organized the China Democratic Party with Lei Zhen, Li Wanju and others. In "Qi Shiying's Oral Autobiography", he recalled in detail his friendship with Guo Songling, his feud with Zhang Xueliang, his unswerving loyalty to Chen Lifu, and his personal interactions with Shigeru Yoshida.

The Republic of China began in 1912. In the following ten years, Chinese society underwent tremendous changes. The collapse of the imperial system, drastic social changes, and the beginning of the new system had a profound and huge impact on China's future development. This is a period of exploration in which China's old political and social order is separated and a new social order is established. It is an era of creation that alternates between destruction and nirvana. "The Early Republic of China: Oral Records of Those Who Experienced It" is compiled based on the narratives and reminiscences of well-known figures during the Republic of China who experienced this historical stage and participated in its development. It more truly reflects the pulse of society at that time.

In "Zimbardo's Oral History", Professor Zimbardo faces readers directly for the first time and recounts his life's journey. Wisdom can be seen in his growth story: at the age of 8, he summed up the rules of leaders and followers while playing with his peers; when he was studying, he was mistaken for the Sicilian Mafia and was isolated. Instead of being depressed, he began to pay attention to and think about the power of situations; while working on Broadway, he not only accumulated a lot of experience in "making customers pay", but also learned how to manage time and quickly switch between multiple tasks. In this book, Professor Zimbardo completely traces his 50 years of teaching and research experience, describing his four major contributions - the Stanford Prison Experiment, conceptualizing shyness, time perspective research, the causes, consequences and sources of inspiration for the Heroic Imagination Project. Readers can see how scientific research with vitality and creativity derived from life was born. In addition, you will also read about Zimbardo's experiences and stories of becoming a popular star teacher at Stanford, leading hundreds of students in anti-war protests, and fighting for employment opportunities for minorities and women. You will find that he is not only a scholar who questions human nature, but also a natural educator with a teacher's blood, a peace-loving activist who pays attention to the disadvantaged groups in society, and a great thinker with the world at heart. From a poor boy in the ghetto to a master respected by everyone, from an out-of-control prison experiment to helping people become a better version of themselves, "The Oral History of Zimbardo" will take us to witness the journey of a generation of psychological masters, and at the same time give us a deeper understanding of ourselves, the environment and human nature.

This book is narrated by Qi Faren, an academician of the International Academy of Astronautics, a famous space technology expert, a member of the 9th, 10th, and 11th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and the first chief designer of the "Shenzhou" spacecraft. From the Dongfeng series missiles to the first artificial satellite Dongfanghong-1 to the Shenzhou spacecraft, this book vividly combs the development process of New China's aerospace industry that he witnessed. The article is true and vivid, highly readable and of high historical value.

As representatives of a group of intellectuals who have exerted important influence after the "Cultural Revolution", famous contemporary scholars such as Ge Zhaoguang, Zhong Shuhe, Zhou Zhenhe, Wu Si, Deng Xiaomang, Xu Jilin, Li Hui, and Chen Lai started from their respective professional perspectives, looked at history and the future, thought about individuals and their country, and looked at the world and China. They provided their own answers to the origin and direction of contemporary China, and their sincerity was evident in their words. In such diverse answers, you may find infinite possibilities, and in the collision and excitement of ideas, you may find a way to awaken the world. Their social concern and problem awareness also profoundly reflect the changes and historical context of contemporary Chinese society.

In the early days of reform and opening up, Zhongshan was upgraded from an agricultural county to a prefecture-level city. It quickly joined the torrent of reform and opening up, successfully achieved economic take-off, and developed into one of the "Four Little Tigers" in the Pearl River Delta of South China. The author served as party committee secretary in Hengmen Town, Zhongshan City for a long time in the 1980s and 1990s. He actively explored, had the courage to reform, and achieved certain results. From the perspective of grassroots cadres and through a series of vivid examples, this book carefully reviews and deeply thinks about Zhongshan City's colorful reform exploration in the early stage of reform and opening up. This book is one of the "Zhongshan Reform and Opening Up Oral History Series". In the form of oral history, this series plans to publish a variety of books to record some important people and events that happened in Zhongshan during the reform and opening up period (especially the early years), hoping to recreate the fiery life in the boom years and outline a true and flesh-and-blood historical picture of China's reform and opening up.

This book is an updated version of the memoir of the same name, "Flowers and Clouds", by Mr. Zhang Long, the granddaughter of Zhang Yuanji, the greatest publisher and bibliographer in modern China. Based on his special identity, background and life experience, the author uses meticulous and penetrating observations to describe his ninety-year life experience with ups and downs in the ups and downs of modern times from the Republic of China to the Republic of China in a peaceful, calm and delicate style. The book begins with her family background. She was born in the Shenzhai compound at No. 40 Jisi Feier Road, Shanghai, witnessing Mr. Zhang Yuanji's most comfortable years as a publisher in his prime; his childhood memories and family life at No. 118A, Guling Middle Road, Lushan, Jiujiang, Jiangxi, and No. 24 Shangfang Garden, Shanghai; and his study career at Shanghai Zhongxi Girls' High School and Shanghai St. John's University.

This book contains interviews with more than a hundred witnesses of World War II, many of whom were members of the Nazi Party who were directly involved in Nazi rule. With his unique perspective, the author faithfully reproduces the inner workings of the Nazi regime and the cruelty of the Soviet-German battlefield in World War II, thereby vividly presenting the Nazis' anti-human and brutal nature to readers. This book is an in-depth insight into the chilling Nazi psychology, breaking people's basic understanding of the Nazi system in the past. The incredible narratives that come to life on paper demonstrate that that evil history serves as a warning to mankind at all times.

Lawrence Rees spent twenty-five years interviewing survivors and perpetrators of Nazi Germany and the Holocaust, and organically integrated eyewitness testimonies with recent academic research into this far-reaching history, revealing how this most notorious crime in human history was carried out. Rees believes that hatred of Jews was undoubtedly at the core of Nazi ideology, but we cannot fully understand the nature of the Holocaust without taking into account that the Nazis also planned to kill millions of non-Jews. Rees pointed out that there was no master plan for the massacre, but rather an escalation of a series of horrific crimes. There is no doubt that Hitler bears primary responsibility for what happened, but Rees also reminds us that the universality of guilt and the persistence of its consequences are "at the heart of the disturbing and evasive question."

Adolf Hitler was the chief culprit of a series of catastrophic historical events and perhaps the most unprecedented war criminal in world history. Filled with anger, incapable of establishing normal interpersonal relationships, unwilling to listen to dissenting opinions, and looking nothing like a leader, he succeeded in attracting thousands of followers and imposed unprecedented totalitarian rule over the German people. How did he do it? Many people who knew him were convinced that Hitler had a powerful influence on everyone who met him. But what role did this so-called "Charisma" play in Hitler's path to power? Lawrence Rees deeply examines the social, psychological and historical factors that influenced the formation of Hitler's personality. It is these factors that shaped Hitler's personality and gave him a unique charm that attracted followers, thereby dragging the entire Germany and even the world into the abyss of war.

This is a very good documentary of characters and a rare and precious historical material. The author has a unique perspective. He chose old alumni of Southwest Associated University who were still alive in Shanghai at the time of the interview. By listening to these elderly witnesses narrate their life experiences and true feelings about history, the author reproduces the people and events of Southwest Associated University at that time, as well as the changes of the times, from different aspects. This book enriches the existing historical materials about Southwest Associated University and constitutes an indispensable document in this research field. It also inherits the excellent national spirit of patriotism, struggle, and dedication to learning through many historical details.

The protagonist Manuel Cortez, as a socialist and the head of the village of Mijas in Andalusia, Spain, became a wanted target after Franco's forces seized power in 1939. In order to survive, Cortes hid at home until amnesty was promulgated in 1969. Based on Ronald Fraser's extensive in-depth interviews and oral histories, this book chronicles a daunting ordeal and depicts Spain's darkest hour.

This is China's first oral family history. It comes from a famous documentary with high sociological value and attracting more and more public attention: "Family Seal - Family Album". This series is a documentary project initiated by the City University of Hong Kong. It started in 2013 and aims to produce the stories of 100 ordinary families. Currently, 58 episodes have been completed, with more than 70 authors, and it is still being continued today. At the internal public screening, these documentaries brought many teachers and classmates to tears. Most of these 58 episodes tell stories about their grandparents, parents, and mothers. They are ordinary people and strangers that students are familiar with. In order to complete the family photo album, they returned to strange relatives and tried to understand their past. Here are a few examples briefly - "Dongyan Qiaotou 60-2" by Zhou Fengting, which later won many awards, records how her grandmother, a 91-year-old mother-in-law from the countryside of Zhejiang, supported her family in troubled times by running an independent gang. However, her contribution was not known to her descendants. It was not until Zhou returned to her strange grandmother, went to church with her, and chatted with her that she slowly began to understand how much she respected this grandmother. Chen Meng's work "Amnesia" tells the story of how her nearly 90-year-old grandparents slowly bid farewell to their glorious past and entered a life of amnesia in old age in their twilight years. This short film has no specific historical background, and even ignores the larger historical background, because the old couple, who both worked in the army, lived through the Cultural Revolution and the most turbulent years without any danger. However, the author captures the details of a pair of elderly people's lives and expresses the problems faced by the elderly society in a touching way. And the young people born in the 1990s participated in the creation. Among the 21 short films they have produced, 10 have chosen to film their parents, and the other 11 are stories about their ancestors. Their stories seem to be far away from the heavy history of the Three Antis, Five Antis, and the Cultural Revolution, but most of their parents were born in the 1960s. Their stories are actually about the history of the thirty years after the reform and opening up, and describe the changes in ordinary Chinese families over the years. The most striking feature of students born in the 1990s is that they have more desire to express themselves and have no more historical burdens. They are very concerned about their identity authentication and are not worried about exposing their family scandals. For example, many students come from divorced or single-parent families. Instead of avoiding these family problems, they are willing to use the opportunity of filming to get to the bottom of things. Among the 21 short films produced in 2015, one is "Neai". This classmate is a Chinese immigrant who immigrated to New Zealand at the age of 13. He graduated from a university in New Zealand and came to Hong Kong to study for a master's degree. If she wasn't involved in the project, she would look like a carefree girl from a good family. However, because of this project, I learned that her parents were divorced when she was young, and she didn't meet her long-lost and successful father until junior high school, and was sent to New Zealand to study by her father. However, the bad blood between father and daughter has formed for many years. The daughter has always wanted to uncover this mystery and chose to photograph her father. After many exchanges and even arguments, father and daughter reached an understanding. The sociological significance behind this film is that during the more than thirty years of reform and opening up, the success of many people was based on the sacrifice of their families. Family members, especially children who lack but crave parental care and attention when they grow up, become the source of all their anger and depression when they grow up. This book retains the oral style of these stories, systematically sorts them out, and provides them with the creators' unique and honest creative notes. The whole article is written in colloquial language, which is smooth and clear, and has high sociological value, psychological value and emotional impact. If this book can be successfully published, it will be an innovation of similar subject matter. The promotion of this book and the echo of the documentary can form a resonance, expand the radius of influence, and reduce the pressure of book marketing. The basic conditions for launching in series are met. Sign digital rights at the same time.

The book is divided into important chapters such as "My Family", "My Creative Career", "My Editing Work", and "The Deep Friendship between Teachers and Friends". In these chapters, the author has detailed descriptions of his family affairs, family relationships, friendships, etc. Among them, the unfair treatment he received as a rightist and when he went to work in the countryside is tear-jerking to read; and the author's interactions with Cao Yu and others are even more embarrassing. At the same time, the 45 old photos attached to the book are also refreshing to readers.

The book "Walking with Reform and Opening Up - Oral History of Renmin University of China Alumni (Volume 1)" is presented to readers. It contains oral interviews with 40 alumni of the Class of 1977 and 1978, recording the ups and downs of their life trajectories, and using words to restore the academic experiences and struggle stories of 40 witnesses of reform and opening up. Due to various conditions, it is not possible to interview all alumni representatives, but these alumni included in this book do add a touch of brightness to the alumni portrait of Renmin University. Follow the footsteps of reform, listen to the voice of reform, gather energy with sincerity, and move forward vigorously. At this unique historical point in time, we feel the weight of history and witness the achievements of the new era. Reviewing history, we experience the power of faith; reading today, we witness remarkable development achievements; imagining the future, we become more confident in China's path. We encourage alumni from the Class of 1977 and 1978 to not forget our original aspirations, keep our mission in mind, and carry out reform and opening up to the end. Today, after 40 years of reform and opening up, we jointly summarize the historical experience of the reform road in order to diagnose "problems after development" and explore how modern China moves towards national rejuvenation. It is also in order to better give a new mission and direction to Renmin University, which shares the same destiny with reform. We want to take root in China and establish a world-class university. The foundation is how much our school has contributed to the nation, the country, and the development process of nations around the world. Only in this way can it have truly world-class value. We walked with the alumni of the Class of 1977 and 1978, "but wherever we came, we saw only a hint of green."

This book contains the self-narratives of 21 literary and artistic figures who have made outstanding contributions in my country's literary and art circles, showing their exploration and pursuit on the road of art. Under the call of art, these literary and artistic masters trudged hard, persevered, turned a deaf ear to reputation and reputation, and ignored safety and danger. For decades, they went through ups and downs and continued to climb toward the pinnacle of art... Which reflected their persistent pursuit of art and their broad-mindedness that was different from ordinary people.

This book is the second in the series of "Ming Dynasty Market Weekly". It excerpts some classic passages from the Chinese classic "Three Words and Two Patterns", re-translates and edits them, uses modern language to interpret classic literature, reproduces the style of the Ming Dynasty market at that time, and shows the various life styles of people from all walks of life at that time. "Three Words and Two Patterns" is the pinnacle of Chinese classical short stories in vernacular. It tells a secular story at a time and is called the ancestor of modern lace magazines. This time I re-edited the excerpts and found the author to rewrite it into a more modern language, but at the same time retained the classical charm of the original work. It is also to promote the classics of Chinese studies and let more people appreciate the charm of Chinese culture.

This book is a major project of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and the Zhejiang Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. Intangible cultural heritage is the crystallization of the wisdom and civilization of the Chinese nation and embodies the aesthetic taste of traditional Chinese culture. The inheritance of intangible cultural heritage is characterized by the inheritance activities of inheritors. Therefore, recording the activities of inheritors is an important part of discovering and protecting intangible cultural heritage. Zhejiang has a long history and rich intangible cultural heritage. However, so far, there has not been a comprehensive and systematic review of the generation and development of intangible cultural heritage from the perspective of inheritors. "Zhejiang Intangible Cultural Heritage Inheritors' Narratives" will not only promote the in-depth excavation, rescue and protection of intangible cultural heritage in the province and promote local economic development, but will also leave fresh and vivid systematic historical materials about Zhejiang's intangible cultural heritage to the world, playing the role of "preserving history, informing government, uniting and educating people". This book uses pictures, images, and materials to discuss.

This book about the memory of Qin is composed of the oral accounts of twenty Qin players in Sichuan and the reminiscence articles of five Qin players. In the torrent of great changes in their family and country over the past century, their life trajectories inevitably or accidentally intersected with Qin's. In the soil of this rich life, many Qin's stories and Qin's thoughts were born. I hope it will retain a piece of the sound of Western Shu for the century-old musical world, and record the ups and downs of Shu Qin's fate since the Republic of China.

In the decades since oral history was introduced to our country, it has received widespread attention from society and has begun to connect with various disciplines. As an emerging discipline that is still very immature, oral history theory is relatively lagging behind and out of touch with practice. Practitioners need theoretical guidance, but most theoretical researchers do not have enough practical experience. Qi Hongshen has been engaged in oral history interviews and research since the early 1980s. He organized more than 80 experts and scholars from all over the country (including Taiwan and Hong Kong) to undertake the national educational science project "Investigation and Research on the Oral History of Japanese Invasion of China Colonial Education". It has collected the oral histories of more than 2,300 people who experienced it, as well as historical photos and objects, forming a complete, systematic, three-dimensional, and multi-dimensional system of witnesses, testimonies, and evidence of the Japanese invasion of China. It has had a wide social impact at home and abroad, and is recognized by the academic community as the earliest, largest, and most standardized oral history project.

The book "Remembering History: Oral Historical Records of the Japanese Army's Landing in Pinghu and Invasion" uses the perspective of journalists to interview hundreds of elderly people in Pinghu City, Zhejiang Province who have experienced this period of history.

In addition, there are articles and historical pictures from local history researchers in Pinghu City, which are divided into three parts: oral history, written history, and illustrated history. The book is prefaced by Zhu Linsen, deputy secretary of the Youth League Committee of Zhejiang Province, and Ding Yuefei, deputy director of the Provincial Archives Bureau. Xiao Ruping, associate professor of the History Department of Zhejiang University, serves as a historical consultant.

During the Second World War, more than 20,000 Jews fled from Europe to Shanghai after going through all kinds of hardships to escape Hitler's massacre. These Jewish refugees who boarded "Noah's Ark" started a new life in Shanghai that they will never forget... This book contains many reminiscence articles written by Jews who experienced that unforgettable period, vividly describing their lives and experiences in Shanghai.

This year marks the 77th anniversary of the outbreak of the entire nation's Anti-Japanese War, and next year will mark the 70th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War. The Japanese militaristic war of aggression and colonial rule brought unforgettable trauma to Beijing, and the people with lofty ideals who stood up in the baptism of blood and fire will forever be remembered in history. "Experiencing the Anti-Japanese War - Oral Narrations of 20 Anti-Japanese Veterans" uses oral narration to reproduce the history of Beijing's Anti-Japanese War, truly and vividly recording that tragic but glorious process. Recreating history orally is difficult.

Chinese NGO entrepreneurs are a group of citizens who use their dreams to change society and write history with their actions. Many of them are now old and some have even passed away. The dreams they once had and the actions they took are the most vital and pioneering history of Chinese civil society. They are the entrepreneurial history of Chinese NGOs presented by individual citizens as the main body.

Li Zongren (1891-1969) was one of the few political leaders and figures in modern Chinese history. He was the military leader of the Guangxi Clan and an important member of the central leadership of the Kuomintang. In April 1948, he served as the first vice president of the National Government. In January 1949, he served as acting president after Chiang Kai-shek resigned from power. In December of the same year, he went to the United States. In 1965, he returned to his roots and issued a statement in Beijing, determined to contribute to the reunification of the motherland. Li Zongren served in the military throughout his life and went through countless wars such as protecting the country, protecting the law, the Northern Expedition, Jiang Gui, the Anti-Japanese War, and the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, which directly affected the trend of modern Chinese politics and history. While living in the United States, Li Zongren was invited by Columbia University and under the auspices of the "East Asian Institute·Chinese Oral History Department". In 1958, he began to personally narrate his more than thirty years of military career and the major military events he participated in. The historian Tang Degang compiled and wrote it, and it became "Memoirs of Li Zongren". This book is also an original history book that requires the most study, the most labor, and the most difficulties among Tang Degang's personal published works. It took more than twenty years from the initial consultation to the publication. "Memoirs of Li Zongren" is a complete record of Li Zongren's extraordinary life career, and it is also the most faithful portrayal of Li's mental journey at each stage of his life. It completely preserves Li Zongren's true face in Chinese history and indirectly reveals many little-known political insider stories or military secrets. It has extremely important reference value for understanding and studying modern Chinese history.

"Hu Shi's Oral Autobiography" is between an autobiography and a biography. It is the best introductory book to understand Hu Shi's life and studies. In the 1950s, Hu accepted the invitation of Columbia University's "Chinese Oral History Department" and was interviewed by Tang Degang. He orally recounted his life in English and completed sixteen formal recordings in 1958. This book was translated by Tang Degang based on the recording, cross-referenced and comprehensively, and was hand-edited by Hu Shi in 1959. This is also a proud "oral history project" that Tang Degang completed in person with Hu Shi at Columbia University and with a tape recorder. Here, Hu Shi reviews the course of his academic research throughout his life, from devoting himself to the literary revolution, to examining the history of Chinese philosophy, to rediscovering the history of Zen Buddhism, to critically studying vernacular novels, and recalling the main ideas in literature, history, philosophy, etc. This is a small book that covers all aspects of Hu Shi's knowledge, thoughts, life, family background, etc. Tang Degang's annotations and comments after translating Hu Shi's English oral narration into Chinese are even more must-read good articles. On the one hand, some memory errors and unspeakable secrets in Hu Shi's oral narration are restored through Tang's annotations; on the other hand, Tang's annotations expand and deepen the content and viewpoints of the oral narration. In response to the questions raised in the text, he also elaborates on his own comments on Hu Shi himself and related figures and events, allowing readers to understand Hu Shi and his era more clearly.

This is a rare masterpiece of oral history. The narrator, Ms. Tang Shixia, was the first wife of Pu Jie, the brother of the last emperor Pu Yi, the niece of the famous concubines Zhen and Jin, and a close friend of the last empress Wanrong and the last imperial concubine Wenxiu. She was one of the last members of the royal family to leave the Forbidden City at the end of the Qing Dynasty. This oral history details the rise and fall of the Tara family of Tang Shixia and his concubines Zhen and Jin. It introduces little-known details of life in the Qing palace, and especially reveals the role of the Japanese military and political elite in organizing the establishment of the Puppet Manchukuo. On this occasion, the plot to force Pu Jie to divorce her and remarry Saga Hiroshi, a descendant of the Japanese aristocracy, was to enable the next emperor of the puppet Manchukuo to have Japanese ancestry after the heirless Pu Yi stepped down, thereby fully controlling China. In addition, this oral history also describes Tang Shixia's high achievements and attainments in painting and poetry, and provides a detailed explanation of her teaching life at the University of Hong Kong in her later years. The historical facts and unique experiences stated in the book can provide valuable reference data for future generations to study past history.

Silver Empire: Overturning the Ming Dynasty's Old Accounts starts with the Ming Dynasty's economic policies, especially its monetary policy, and tells the story of the Ming Dynasty's politics, economy, military, and culture. Thus, it tells the story of why the Ming Dynasty, which was the world's largest economic, military, and cultural power at that time, failed.
