Features: The Beiyang era might not have been a time dominated by ignorant military figures and a decline in humanistic spirit. Perhaps, it was the difficult beginning of ancient China stepping into the era of elections, a clumsy attempt by great figures to integrate China into the world's game rules. For years, the author has dedicated himself to searching for the former residences and traces of Beiyang figures, collecting and organizing Beiyang historical materials, and discovering "history" with his own eyes. With a fresh perspective and vivid writing, he presents the political landscape and the charm of figures during China's transition from a traditional to a modern society.
