Features: History as a humanities discipline is people-centered, and people have emotions and interests, ideals and expectations. There are different moral and value concepts among people. However, human thoughts are often elusive because the so-called "difference in one thought" can lead to completely different consequences, which is also a common fact. The author is an experienced historian who has studied modern Chinese history for nearly 40 years, and this book is a collection of his many years of research. The articles are mainly focused on two periods: one is the early years of the Republic of China, and the other is after the victory of the War of Resistance against Japan. Their common characteristic is that they are both at important turning points in the development of modern Chinese history. At these historical turning points, social contradictions are more acute and complex than usual, and various social forces are striving to choose the best strategies for themselves, engaging in competition and struggle. From this point of entry, a comprehensive examination or a specific analysis of certain aspects is undoubtedly necessary for modern history research. The author meticulously sorts through vast archives, contemporary newspapers, and recollections of participants to propose many unique and insightful conclusions.
