The city of Nanjing is a fine history textbook. If one pores over this city, one will evoke the history of China itself. Every historic site in Nanjing is saturated with the character of human affairs. Whichever ruins one might visit, they are all part of a deep historical dialogue. In terms of scenery, Nanjing has mountains and rivers, enough to match any city. But the city's strength is in its history, and its unique culture. This book is a collection of prose about the unique history, culture and atmosphere of the city as well as the temperament and customs of its people, by the renowned Nanjing-born writer, Ye Zhaoyan.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"An elegant city with the European and American planning models adopted at the macro level, and the traditional Chinese style at the micro level - the most beautiful, clean and well-planned modern city in twentieth-century China.\" -- Ye Zhaoyan, remarks on the modern Nanjing city\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ye Zhaoyan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1626430640\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781626430648\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bridge 21 Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/18\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.40w x 0.70d","brand":"Ye Zhaoyan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48442451656959,"sku":"9781626430648","price":25.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_51904b85-7841-4ecd-8a3a-7dfb5faecb26.jpg?v=1777197503","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/people-of-nanjing-ye-zhaoyan-9781626430648","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
