Awakening and Transmutation
by Zhang Ming
About This Novel
A hundred years is a rather distant time limit for the Chinese. People talk about death in a taboo way, but say "a hundred years later" and wish for a long marriage and say "a hundred years of peace and harmony." A hundred years is the number of years that most Chinese people will not live. As the saying goes, "A life of less than a hundred years is rare" and "A life of seventy years is rare", so a hundred years has become synonymous with time. A hundred years after an event, even in the slow-paced ancient times, it is considered to have history, and an event will still make people think of it after a hundred years. This age alone is enough to prove that the event is of extraordinary significance. One hundred years have passed, and the nature of our reforms today has nothing in common with the Reform Movement of 1898. However, we can still learn a lot from the footprints of the reformers of those years. In comparison, no major event in modern history is as close to our cause today as the Wuxu Incident.
