Features: "Martial" was merely the surface of that era, while "Cultural" was the pursuit of the time. Whether someone is good or bad, whether something is right or wrong, let the readers judge for themselves. This book focuses on the author's search and discovery of the early Republican period, also known as the "Beiyang Warlord Era." The Beiyang era might not have been one dominated by brute force and the decline of humanistic spirit. Perhaps, it was the difficult beginning of ancient China stepping into the modern era, a clumsy attempt by great figures to integrate China into the rules of the world game. For years, the author has devoted himself to visiting the former sites and remnants of Beiyang figures, collecting and sorting out Beiyang historical materials, and discovering "history" with his own eyes. Through a fresh perspective and vivid writing, he presents the political landscape and the charisma of individuals during China's transition from a traditional to a modern society.
