Features: The Beiyang era might not have been a time dominated by ignorant military figures and a decline in humanistic spirit. Perhaps, it was a difficult and challenging beginning for ancient China to step into the era of voting, a clumsy attempt by great figures to integrate China into the rules of the world. Over the years, the author has dedicated himself to visiting the former residences and relics of Beiyang figures, collecting and sorting out 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 society to a modern one.
