Modern Chinese History (national Reading Classic)
by Jiang Tingfu
About This Novel
This book takes China's modernization as a clue and believes that "whether the Chinese can modernize will determine the rise or fall of the country." It discusses Chinese history from the Opium War to the eve of the Anti-Japanese War. It mainly elaborates on the efforts of modern people to strengthen themselves in the face of major changes unseen in thousands of years and the reasons for their failure, and then proposes that "modern national defense not only requires modern transportation, education, and economy, but also modern politics and citizens." The appendix is an important article by Jiang Tingfu related to modern history research, which reflects his thinking path on China's modernization issues and his personal opinions on the later war of resistance, which is helpful for understanding his "Modern History of China."
