From Macartney and Xie Qinggao to Liu Xuexun and Qingkuan, the Qing envoys to Japan, why has time not smoothed the gap between knowledge and cognition? From the Sino-Japanese War to the Russo-Japanese War, China, Japan, and Russia competed for interests and power in Northeast Asia without interruption. What was the main line of the subsequent World War II and the Korean War? History is not far behind. The ideological revolution and changes in the late Qing Dynasty did not happen overnight. In addition to the radical reformers and the opposition new scholars, there were other promoters. One hundred years after the Revolution of 1911, we must put aside historical stereotypes and understand the causes and consequences of the Revolution of 1911, the rise and fall of various forces in the revolution, the differences between ideas and reality, and the wanderings of history. What kind of reflection should be done? The memory of teachers, the expectations for students, the memories of life-long friendships, and the support of fellow students are all about thinking that lasts longer than life.
