值得一提的事，我并非刻意去了解顾颉刚的爱情故事的，而是因为在葛兆光的书《何為中國：疆域，民族，文化與歷史》中看到了这个「小插曲」。
葛的这本关于「中国」的书主题如此之宏大，在其中穿插了顾颉刚的个人轶事，可以说是深刻体现了「个人与国家命运紧密地联系在一起」。

China Youths Swap City Dreams for Country Living as Jobs Crisis Mounts
“Back when I graduated in 2014, even an average student such as myself, without experience, could get multiple offers and find work at a good company,” said Gong. “It’s something that was given to me by the times, and unimaginable now.”
“Whenever I get anxious and sad about my next step, I would tell myself: let’s lie flat a bit and just focus on the work now,” said Chen, referring to a youth social movement to opt out of the rat race.

Young Chinese Women Are Defying the Communist Party
The Communist Party has faced many opponents and dissenters in its decades of rule, quickly silencing and consigning them to oblivion. In the nation’s young women, the party’s male leaders may now be facing their most implacable challengers yet.

从孤儿寡母到孤家寡人——蒋介石的早年成长经历与个性特质.pdf
古有「天之降大任於斯人」的說法，蔣介石認為自己就是這樣的「斯人」。他以「基督化身」和「太極」自居，極度自我迷信。一身兼職八十二個，大大小小，甚麼事都管。例如，重慶的垃圾堆設置何處、婦女的髮長不得超過四寸、宣傳部部長吃飯時的「吃相」、中山樓貴賓室的陳設，以至報告提綱應該放在中山裝的哪一個口袋等問題，都要親自管控。蔣的思想邏輯是「三段論」：一、我蔣介石是革命者；二、你反對我蔣介石；三、自然，你就是反革命。蔣在處理事務時，常常依據這樣的「三段論」。
蔣介石思想性格有許多毛病，如好色、暴躁、多疑、孤僻、自戀等，但他以「古往今來第一聖賢豪傑」、「中華民國模範」自期，不斷反省、「鬥私」。他的日記每周、每月省記〉，如「見色起意，記過一次」、「遇豔心不正，記大過一次」之類。年終，甚至有成千上萬字的〈本年反省記〉。
1965 年 7 月 18 日，蔣經國乘船到香港水域，將曹聚仁接到台灣。20 日，蔣介石與曹在日月潭涵碧樓會晤。曹出示中共中央信函，內附毛澤東寫給蔣的《臨江仙》詞，中有「明月依然在，何時彩雲歸」之語。雙方達成六項協定：（1）蔣介石偕舊部回到中國大陸，可以居住在浙江以外任何一個省區，仍任國民黨總裁，中共將撥出江西廬山地區作為蔣居住與辦公的「湯沐邑」（封地）。
1987 年 3 月 14 日，在香港經商、與蔣經國有密切關係的沈誠受邀訪問大陸，又受楊尚昆之託，帶信給蔣經國，中稱：「祖國統一，民族振興，誠我中華民族之崇高願望，亦歷史賦予國共兩黨之神聖使命。對此，我黨主張通過兩黨平等談判而謀其實現。今自沈君得悉，先生高瞻遠矚，吾人深為讚歎！惟願能早日付諸實施，使統一大業能在你我這一代人手中完成。」（2）蔣台灣省長，除軍事與外交權外，其他政務由台灣省政府全權處理。（3）台灣不得接受美國軍事經濟援助，若台灣財政有困難，北京將根據美國支援數額，照撥補助。（4）台灣海空軍併入北京控制，陸軍縮編為四個師，其中三個師駐守台灣本島，一個師駐守金門與廈門地區。（5）金門與廈門合併為一自由市，作為台北與北京之間的緩衝聯絡地區。該市市長由台北徵求北京同意後任命。（6）台灣現任文武百官官階與待遇照舊不變，人民生活水平只可提高，不能降低。六條協議既然議妥，只待簽字。然而，此後文革爆發，即無下文。

The Bones Remember
In this narrative, the Communist Party’s path to power was propelled by history; its victory was preordained.
At a time when the battle over history rages in autocracies and democracies alike, how we remember the past is what makes us human
With steps so light they can take flight, the living learn to walk underground. The bones of their ancestors speak to the transience of state authority, and are a buried record of oppression and resistance. In their presence, future generations find their genealogy of hope and survival.

The Bones Remember | China Books Review
Three new books grapple with the suppressed histories of modern China, from the Cultural Revolution to the Covid pandemic. But for every state effort to bury the past, there are those who seek to dig it up.
Wong, Edward. 2024. At the Edge of Empire: A Family’s Reckoning with China. New York: Viking. https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/602734/at-the-edge-of-empire-by-edward-wong/9781984877406/
A dual narrative that tells the story of modern China by braiding an intergenerational family memoir with first-person contemporary reporting by the former New York Times Beijing bureau chief.
The son of two Chinese immigrants from Hong Kong, Edward Wong grew up around Washington, DC; his father, a former soldier in the People’s Liberation Army under Mao, worked in Chinese restaurants and rarely spoke about his native land. Yook Kearn Wong came of age during the Japanese occupation in World War II, then fell under the spell of Mao’s promise of a new, equitable China, spending harsh years with the Chinese army in northern China and in Xinjiang, along the Central Asian frontier. In 1962, disillusioned with Mao’s brutal policies, he fled to Hong Kong and eventually went to America.
When Edward Wong moved to Beijing as a correspondent for The New York Times in 2008, it gave him a rare opportunity to investigate his father’s mysterious past, while also assessing for himself the dream of a resurgent China that his father once held, then abandoned. He had a front-row seat as the world’s two superpowers met at a crossroads. And the years of his tenure saw China’s economic boom and geopolitical expansion, as well as the darker currents of nationalism and ethnic repression and the autocratic rise of President Xi Jinping.
As a son considering his father’s life and his own time in China, Wong provides an epic, moving chronicle of a family and a nation, one that spans more than 80 years and gives insight into a new authoritarian age in China that is transforming the world. It is the essential work for understanding the sweep and direction of modern China.

Make Sense of Complex Topics With Alan Chan, Co-Founder of Heptabase
Our vision at Heptabase is to create a world where anyone can effectively establish a deep understanding of anything.
Everything built on top of this system should have the inherent capabilities to empower people to effectively create a deep understanding of anything they’re learning and researching.
When building Heptabase, there are some mental models and guiding principles that I have been using since the very beginning.
The first mental model is called “The Knowledge Lifecycle”, which consists of five parts: exploring, collecting, thinking, creating, and sharing.
The second mental model is system layering. The way I abstract the system we’re building is that there will be multiple independent layers, each focusing on one unique job.
The most important principle in our company is that we want to ensure that everything we’re building is aligned with our ultimate goal of helping people acquire and establish a deep understanding of the things they care about.
The second principle is that we want the product to be as friendly and intuitive as possible.
I want Heptabase to eventually become a system where people can build and launch their own “meta-apps” on top of it.
The “aha” moment of Heptabase is that you gradually accumulate more and more cards from more and more sources, and you’ll find the sense-making process on the whiteboard very smooth.
