内容简介

In this beautifully crafted study of one emblematic life, Harrison addresses large themes in Chinese history while conveying with great immediacy the textures and rhythms of everyday life in the countryside in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries.

Liu Dapeng was a provincial degree-holder who never held government office. Through the story of his family, the author illustrates the decline of the countryside in relation to the cities as a result of modernization and the transformation of Confucian ideology as a result of these changes. Based on nearly 400 volumes of Liu's diary and other writings, the book illustrates what it was like to study in an academy and to be a schoolteacher, the pressures of changing family relationships, the daily grind of work in industry and agriculture, people's experience with government, and life under the Japanese occupation.

    太原人民表示毫无压力~说实话,刘大鹏的例子没有和其他晋商家族的更丰富的材料比对来写,着实限制了此书的深度广度。倒是很同意作为英文写作范本~02-04

    看后忽然大感动,尤其是由一个美国人写一个小地方末代儒生。彼时,一部论语真可以安身立命。耕读真的可以传家。一介儒生,真可以硬硬朗朗活一辈子的。02-27

    H.H.老师这本书固然不能算是经典,但是是一个学术写作范本:50年的日记资料、访谈、历史背景与问题意识的无缝连接,不着痕迹,背后肯定是反复理顺的功夫。见微知著,又出落自然,说来容易,做到难。她是我在哈佛遇过的最严谨认真的老师;英伦的基础训练还是扎实啊。09-29

    from the micro life of a person to the macro history change from the late 19 century to the mid 20 century. Amazing, beautifully written with emotion and detailed accounts. I began to know more about the historical change of Shanxi merchant culture, its origin, development and dwindling; the politics, scholar life. history is interesting,important 04-08
