The Art of Mending the Sky: Li Hongzhang in the Great Change
by Xu Fenghua
About This Novel
In the late Qing Dynasty, China encountered great changes unseen in thousands of years. Amidst the ups and downs, the Qing Dynasty lingered on for decades. During this period, what did Li Hongzhang do as a member of the imperial court? How could he single-handedly extend the life of the decaying dynasty? What power did he rely on to slowly push China into modernization? China's complex situation cannot be controlled by the strength of one person. Li Hongzhang's efforts are often wasted by ignorant court leaders and bureaucrats at all levels. Fortunately, he is proficient in a sky-repairing technique called "Westernization", and can borrow power from the West to fill the ever-collapsing sky of this old Eastern empire. In addition to many important Westernization enterprises and the cultivation of a large number of talents, Li Hongzhang left China with the memory of modernization for the people of the 20th century. This memory will deeply mark China's modernization path with Li Hongzhang's imprint.
