About This Novel

The Taiping Rebellion, which occurred more than 150 years ago, has been constantly rewritten and reshaped by people. The smearing for different purposes makes this foggy history even more confusing and difficult to distinguish. After the Opium War, the Qing Dynasty was in internal and external troubles, and was almost in danger. As a result, the heroes of a lifetime emerged. Hong Xiuquan was so excited that he excavated the first tomb soil of the Qing Dynasty. During the "Western Expedition" campaign, the talented general Shi Dakai performed an excellent performance of "personal heroism" and then "ran away in anger". Hong Rengan, the "King of Qian" from Hong Kong, presented "New Chapter of Zizheng", but it turned out to be a piece of paper. Yang Xiuqing was killed, Li Xiucheng was captured, and blood surged in Tianjing City... The Hunan army, represented by Zeng Guofan and Zuo Zongtang, raised their own wages and trained their own troops, and finally eliminated the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and made "unparalleled achievements." During the more than ten years of the Taiping Rebellion, various forces such as the Qing court, foreigners, and peasant rebels competed in complicated situations, which ultimately turned this vigorous "ideal" movement into a fantasy. Hong Xiuquan, Yang Xiuqing and the ghosts behind them chanting the "Kingdom of Heaven" mantra have lingered in the hearts of Chinese people for more than a century. We don't need to arbitrarily affirm or simply deny the underground conclusion now. We just need a calm examination from deep within our hearts, to find the origin of construction from the destruction of the past, and to rediscover the spiritual experience of the bygone era.
