在北京的历史上,1918年似乎并无特别之处。它不像七年前的1911年,有风起云涌的辛亥革命,让腐朽不堪的清王朝走到了历史的尽头:它也不像八年后的1919年,有波澜壮阔的五四运动,预示着中国社会即将发生翻天覆地的变化。1918年,古老的北京城仍然保持着她那特有的宁静,人们仍然在为每天的生计忙碌着。这样看来,1918年显得平淡了些。然而,并不尽然。 In Beijing’s history there seems to be no special thing in 1918. It is not like the 1911 Revolution seven years ago that brought the turmoil of the Revolution of 1911 so that the decadent Qing Dynasty reached the end of history: unlike 1919, which was eight years later, there was a spectacular May Fourth Movement that foreshadowed the Chinese society The world is about to change dramatically. In 1918, the ancient Beijing city still maintained her unique tranquility, people are still busy daily life. It seems so, 1918 appears a bit dull. However, not always.
