Features: 88 years ago, I was born in Beijing. It was the year 1893 (the 19th year of the Guangxu reign, Gengyin). It was also the year before the First Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895. The First Sino-Japanese War was a pivotal event in modern Chinese history, marking the beginning of a series of dramatic changes. And my half-life, coincidentally, spanned from that war to this one. My family was originally from Guilin City. But after my great-grandfather left Guilin, my father and my generation grew up in Beijing. This book is a self-narrative by Mr. Liang Shuming about his long and-filled life. Readers will gain insight into the history of 20th-century China, learn about the secrets and anecdotes of famous figures, and discover things that cannot be found in official historical records.
