Features: The "Historical Memoir Series" will place greater emphasis on the characteristics of "folk archives." Authors come from all walks of life, regardless of their fame. It includes small figures in major events and the significant destinies of ordinary people—some tragic, some joyful, alternating between sorrow and happiness. The raw essence of life often reflects the true nature of history, making the selection and value of various authors essential. The format can also be diverse, such as diaries, letters, confessions, interview transcripts, and memoirs, depending on the content. Moreover, I believe that once overlooked personal records will play an irreplaceable role. History is a chaotic mess, a complex organic composition. Well, only records from all aspects, from top to bottom, in various forms, can possibly approach its original state and reveal a glimpse of the unseen icebergs amidst the multitude of details. I hope readers will accept and enjoy this series that avoids tricks and frills, and I welcome more people to participate and become authors of this series.
