This novel is the greatest work of Mr. Lin Yutang in his 25 books in both Chinese and English. It painted a vivid scene of Modern China . "Moment in Peking," the name of this book attracted me, I could not help but want to understand the whole story under the layers of clouds . It attracted me to understand the history of this land I grew up in . In my view ,this book mainly heroined Mulan Yao as the line , reflecting the Chinese society in that time that stretch from the comfort but corruption everywhere towarded explosive expansion at the end ,but also filled with unity and hope. Yao Mulan, one was born in Beijing, the daughter of wealthy family,. She wasn't pride and pampered as a Golden Bough's Pride and delicate green leaves, neither with the traditional stereotypes. she is completely a magnolia flower, elegant ,pure and clever. she is a woman with the quality of Both pliaBility and hardness. The story had written the whole of her life from Mulan's childhood to her death. It worte her funs of childhood; worte her love deeply buried in the bottom of heart; wrote her happy marriage; worte her the pain of dead daughter; wrote her the good deeds in the way to flee and the thought under the influence of Taoism Thinking. The story displayed the old Chinese culture, politics and lifeis through the fate of two families. Various character personalities of various walks of life bringed to the city a thousand sensations. There is the painter Qi Baishi, philosopher Lin Qinlan, ideological radical young students, fearing not death advanced youth, extravagant dissolute politicians returned overseas scholars, as well as some wealthy businessmen, a Taoist monk, the Japanese officers and prostitutes. There is a sense that you will be within this story after reading. The book's leading light is one of the natural Taoism. It seems full of wisdom. It seems that the life and death, wealth, the sweets and bitters of life was saw through. That made me feel deep respect for Zhuang Zi. Zhuangzi's philosophy in the book affected the Si Yao ,Yao Mulan and Kongli Cardiff. "Moment in Peking" is the treasure that the older generation left for our young people. They want us to remember our history. It is a book that need you to think of it carefully and the the philosophy will benefit to your whole life.
