Six in the Evening

About the Book

Sense and theory on paper is something, and the practical daily life is another. The era of persecution, secret endeavor, and revolution is something; and having power is something else. Some of the persecuted and revolutionists of the bygone days change and forget who they were when they assume power and become the rulers. We have witnessed lots of partisan commanders, revolutionists, and poor men became royalty and dictators after their victory.
