Features: This book takes the representative buildings of Nanjing that still exist as of December 31, 2000, as one thread, and the people related to the buildings and events that took place within them as another thread, organically combining the two. Through a combination of text and images, it reconstructs this complex period of history from one perspective, showcasing the political, economic, cultural, diplomatic, and military aspects of the Republican era. The book strives to achieve "three qualities":
1. Scientific accuracy: Combining field investigations with documented records to ensure accuracy.
2. Historical value: Providing archival material of significance.
3. Knowledgeability: The book is not just a collection of data but tells compelling stories through the physical presence of buildings, reveals little-known behind-the-scenes secrets, and recreates thrilling scenes.
