About This Novel
This compilation selects important historical events of more than a hundred years in modern China, arranged in chronological order, to show the changing historical scene from the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China. From the beginning of modern history when Lin Zexu destroyed opium in Humen (1839), to the fall of the Qing Dynasty (1912) and the establishment of the Republic of China; from the rise of the Westernization Movement and attempts at reform, to the outbreak of the Boxer Rebellion (1900) and the invasion of China by the Eight-Power Allied Forces; to the overthrow of the monarchy by the Revolution of 1911 and the social unrest caused by warlords' melee. The book also includes the national awakening and heroic struggle during the Anti-Japanese War (1937 to 1945), as well as the conflicts and cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. Finally, with the founding of New China in 1949 as the end point of the book, a series of threads are connected to witness the process of exploration and progress of the Chinese people in suffering, and finally ushered in national independence and liberation.
