Features: Reading history is like touching an elephant; the results of exploring history are the imprints of touching an elephant, basically the reflections of reading books. Just like the blind men describing an elephant, as long as what they say is true, it is valuable and irreplaceable. For example, the interpretation of the 1948 letter from Chen Shu Tong to Ma Xulun, the three topics of Huang Yanpei in his later years, examining Liu Yazi's late-life political views from the Wujianshi Wenlu, understanding Ye Jianying in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China from Mao Zedong's writings, reading Ye Jianying's Passing the Wutai Mountain and the history of land reform in northern Shanxi, the contradictions in the wartime Hong Kong literary scene and Zhou Enlai's attitude, Qiao Guanhua's in wartime Hong Kong, Yu Guangyuan's youthful footsteps left in Lingnan, the reasons for Xiao Qian's move north, whether the Guangzhou defenders in 1938 collaborated with the enemy, Li Chunqing's Fifty Years of Writing and the study of the Japanese issue, and more.
