Description
A mind that thought independently, a spirit that matched its words with deeds. With a compassionate heart and an unshakable spine, he stood firm for what was right. Liang Shuming was thus: an intellectual of moral courage, a rarity that appears but once in a hundred years.¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿
The Diaries of Liang Shuming is a compilation of the extant diaries (nearly 800,000 Chinese characters) of Mr. Liang Shuming, known as "the last Confucian," accompanied by dozens of publicly released precious private historical photographs. Mr. Liang developed the habit of keeping a diary early in his life, and the surviving diaries span from 1932 to 1981, having endured numerous hardships, including the "confiscation of property," to be preserved. The diaries plainly record the author's actions, experiences, and inner reflections over half a century: his early involvement in rural reconstruction, inspections behind enemy lines during the War of Resistance, mediating disputes between the Nationalist and Communist parties, retreating to Mount Jinyun for Buddhist practice, touring urban and rural areas after liberation to observe new changes and land reform, suffering humiliation during the "confiscation of property," participating in political study and debates, and persistently engaging in writing and self-cultivation throughout. This volume presents Liang Shuming's diaries as a complete standalone edition. The editors have contributed an introductory preface, an overview of major events for each year, revised and supplemented over 600 annotations, and compiled an index of nearly 2,000 key names. It serves as an invaluable firsthand record for in-depth research on Liang Shuming and for understanding the social and political transformations of 20th-century China.¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿"¿¿¿¿¿"¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿80¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿1932¿¿¿¿1981¿¿¿¿""¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿""¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿50¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿600¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿2000¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿20¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿
