The Romance of Hong Xiuquan
About This Novel
"The Romance of Hong Xiuquan", written by Huang Shizhong (Qing Dynasty), also known as "The Romance of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom" and "The Complete Works of the Heroes of Hong Yang". This book is an important work in the history of modern Chinese novels. It is the first full-length novel to enthusiastically praise the revolutionary history of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom after the historical work "History of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom". It narrates the historical events of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, starting with Hong Xiuquan's uprising and ending with Zeng Guofan's deployment of victorious troops and the siege of Jinling City. Many of the characters written are inconsistent with historical facts, but they sympathize with and praise the Taiping Rebellion, and better portray the images of Hong Xiuquan, Li Xiucheng, Lin Fengxiang and other characters.
