Customs History

About This Novel

Before the Opium War, China's customs power was in the hands of customs supervisors directly dispatched by the emperor. After the Opium War, China's customs became a "colony" of imperialists. Among them, Hurd was a figure that cannot be ignored. He "served" the Qing government for 52 years and held the power of China's customs for half a century. From his correspondence with Jin Dengqian, we see the ambition of imperialist aggression and the weakness of the Qing government, as well as the fact that the keys to China's treasury are always in the hands of foreigners, and this situation continued until the rule of the National Government. In 1949, the Chinese people achieved a great victory in the New Democratic Revolution and overthrew the reactionary rule of imperialism, feudalism and bureaucratic capitalism. The old Chinese customs, which had been controlled by imperialism and the National Government for a long time, collapsed accordingly.
