Features: The renowned writer Tang Haoming, with his magnificent style and profound historical knowledge, created the long historical novel Yang Du (originally titled A Remarkable Talent of the Times), which is considered a literary masterpiece and has won numerous awards, including the China Book Award, the National Book Award, and the National Excellence Novel Award. Yang Du was a highly controversial figure in modern Chinese history. He was exceptionally talented and ambitious. In his youth, he participated in the memorial petition campaign and later supported Yuan Shikai's declaration of the Empire of Hongxian. After the collapse of the Hongxian Dynasty, he turned to assisting Sun Yat-sen. In his later years, he also had close ties with the Communist Party. His life epitomized the intricate and sharp contradictions of modern Chinese history. He had a patriotic heart but placed his trust in the wrong people, and though he possessed great erudition, he failed to grasp the pulse of his time. Yang Du's tragedy is also a microcosm of the difficult rise of modern China. This book uses Yang Du as a thread to connect numerous figures, including Yuan Shikai, Yuan Keding, Cao Kun, Wang Jingwei, Sun Yat-sen, Huang Xing, and Cai E, vividly depicting the turbulent journey of early 20th-century Chinese in their efforts to save the nation.
