About This Novel
From Jiashen to Sino-Japanese War, the Qing Dynasty's adoption of the "borrowing doctrine" in the previous twenty years has achieved initial results.

It only acquired a deformed society and a deformed economic structure, which could not be condensed into a conscious and in-depth modernization process. And in these critical ten years, what opportunities did China miss?
