在中国近代历史上,吴大澂是那个时代的公众人物:一方诸侯,收藏宏富,又是学界达人;万众瞩目,官声卓著,享“清流”美誉。同时他又是一个具有浓厚悲剧色彩的人物,因治理黄河决口成功而盛负时誉,登上政治生涯的顶峰,旋又因甲午援辽战役失利而身败名裂,导致政治生命的彻底终结。一成一败,真可谓差若天渊。 In the modern history of China, Wu Dalai was a public figure of that era: one princes, one rich princes and one academic eldest; At the same time, he was also a character with a strong tragedy. He managed to win the reputation of the successor to the Yellow River and reached the top of his political career. His conviction was defeated by the defeat of the Jia-Xiao-Liao A-mail campaign, which resulted in the complete termination of political life. One into a defeat, it can be described as poor if heaven.
