Features: History is often shaped by personal,, even seemingly insignificant circumstances. In the hundred years of modern China, the ups and downs of society, the shifts in thought, and the changes in the fate of individuals were far greater than before. This book, in a style similar to Shi Shuo Xin Yu, selects some little-known historical fragments and anecdotes from this extraordinary period, striving to reconstruct the original state of history from the scraps in the archives and to uncover the truth of events from the finest details. The book is divided into fifteen chapters: Dynasty, National Destiny, Politics, Martial Arts, Officialdom, Culture and Scenery, Academic Circle, Revolution, Social Norms, and Human Relationships.
