ANCESTRAL LEAVES: A FAMILY JOURNEY THROUGH CHINESE HISTORY

Book ID/图书代码: 13520010B42787

English Summary/英文概要: Ancestral Leaves follows one family through six hundred years of Chinese history and brings to life the epic narrative of the nation, from the fourteenth century through the Cultural Revolution. The lives of the Ye family—“Ye” means “leaf” in Chinese—reveal the human side of the large-scale events that shaped modern China: the vast and destructive rebellions of the nineteenth century, the economic growth and social transformation of the republican era, the Japanese invasion during World War II, and the Cultural Revolution under the Chinese Communists. Joseph W. Esherick draws from rare manuscripts and archival and oral history sources to provide an uncommonly personal and intimate glimpse into Chinese family history, illuminating the changing patterns of everyday life during rebellion, war, and revolution.

Esherick通過罕有的手稿,檔案,和口述的歷史資料,呈現了一個非凡的個人故事,讓讀者得以一窺中國家庭史,在歷經叛亂,戰爭和革命的洗禮中,改變了中國人封建舊時的生活模式。(Sandy)
