About This Novel
The Opium War in 1840 knocked on China's door. Since then, some major capitalist countries have extended their aggressive claws to China and began to frantically plunder China's mineral resources. In this context, in order to safeguard the country's sovereignty, some far-sighted people in the Qing government also began to build some state-owned coal and gold mines, such as Kaiping Coal Mine, Ma'anshan Coal Mine, Mohe Gold Mine, etc. However, their development was short-lived and could not withstand the invasion of foreign powers. From the difficult establishment of the Kaiping Coal Mine to the loss of sovereignty of the Kailuan Coal Mine, from the arbitrary investment and mining of mineral resources in China by foreign powers to the people's movement to regain sovereignty, the Chinese people finally regained the country's sovereignty and their own rights and interests through difficult and unyielding struggles step by step.
