The author of this book conducted interviews with 19 Shanghai professional women who had work experience before and after liberation, recorded their personal careers and marriage and family life, understood the changes that took place in them in the two eras, and explored the relationship between the times, society and individuals.

Mr. Bo Yang said that China has the longest history and the most history books, but the Chinese people are also the most ignorant about history! The "criticism" of the ancients is no longer about distant and vague ancients, but real and close to life in the modern language environment. The side of the ancients that is not taken seriously or the characteristics that cannot be ignored is our attempt to discover and reproduce the true experiences of the ancients, and it is also an entrance to explore history and life.

The reason why history has become the focus of everyone's attention is because it has left us with countless shining points, which reappear on the historical stage with striking similarities. These bright spots, big or small, are dark corners and turning points with different styles in history. They are still important topics for people to talk about after dinner. Vignetting is a quantitative change in historical development, while an inflection point is a qualitative change. If you look at history from a high perspective, you will find that the energy of quantitative change may be very small, but over time, qualitative change will occur. Therefore, turning points in history are always accompanied by great changes in the country, either development or destruction. The survival trajectories of the ancients all prove these truths, and they also use the dark corners and turning points of personal experience to warn future generations. In the long river of history, dynasties fall one after another and emperors rise from generation to generation. The dark corners and turning points of history are the most eye-catching and thought-provoking historical moments in the process of prosperity and decline.

What is history? History is like a multi-act interrelated drama that unfolds over thousands of years. Everyone can use historical materials and reprocess them. If historical events are considered in a specific time and space context, history will show various patterns like a kaleidoscope. The reason why history has become a sample for later generations to study is because it has left us many clues of wisdom. These clues are strategies and methods in history; these classic strategies and methods are still the source of wisdom for modern people. Strategy is the course of action, and method is the execution plan. They are all responses generated under specific thinking. In the same situation, different people often choose different coping methods precisely because they have different thinking. The ancients used their experiences to continuously verify these principles, and also used their strategies and methods to leave success or failure cases one after another.
