Revolution of 1911: Enlightenment, Glory and Dreams
About This Novel
In 1911, the year when the Qing Dynasty was about to fall, the fig leaf of the gorgeous empire was full of chronic diseases and bacteria that could kill it. Beneath the seemingly calm surface, a powerful and irreversible trend surges: revolution! Kang Youwei, Liang Qichao and other reformers shouted "Total changes will make you strong, small changes will still lead to destruction!" And strongly called for reform. The powerless Emperor Guangxu and the bookish Wei Xinchen fought with their bare hands against the old and cunning Cixi and her wings. The gunfire of the Revolution of 1911 was heard, and the Dragon Flag of the Qing Dynasty, which had been held for more than 260 years, fell in response... Countless persevering revolutionary soldiers and intellectuals threw their heads, shed their blood, sacrificed their lives to serve the country. Tang Caichang, the leader of the "Self-Reliance Army", fell first; Shi Jianru, Wu Yue, and Xu Xilin shed blood; Zhao Erfeng, a national hero who had been a soldier all his life, turned into the "Zhao Butcher" in Chengdu; Yuan Shikai cultivated the enemy's self-respect and "usurped" the fruits of victory... The Revolution of 1911 is a great epic of personal heroism and a majestic symphony of nationalism! In the iron-blooded years, the revolution died prematurely. Nearly a hundred years have passed like a cloud, and the bitterness that the revolutionary radicals longed for has lingered in our hearts for a long time after the gunfire of the Revolution of 1911.
