The Last Dynasty: the Qing Dynasty on the Eve of Revolution
by Zhu Yong
About This Novel
When the Year of Xinhai arrived, there was no sign that this would be the last year of this iron-blooded empire. This year began with the singing and dancing of Empress Dowager Longyu's Longevity Festival (the tenth day of the first lunar month). However, on December 25 (February 12, 1912), which was about to end, Longyu issued an abdication edict, and China's feudal regime ended. The sudden turn of history was unthinkable to most people at the time (including revolutionary leaders). The famous scholar Zhu Yong uses non-fiction to lead us back to the last year of the dynasty and the Forbidden City in this year.
