Opium War
About This Novel
During the late Qing Dynasty, Emperor Daoguang, who had a long history of being conservative, encountered a challenge that traditional Chinese emperors had never faced - the Opium War. It cracked the solid shell of traditional Chinese society. This crisis made the entire Qing Empire unable to cope with the crisis. Just when the Opium War came to an end, bad news came again - something happened in Guangxi... This book uses the "Lin-Qing Incident" in the Jiaqing Dynasty as an introduction, starting from the accession of Emperor Daoguang to the throne, through the interpretation of the many shortcomings of the declining Qing Empire, and the stories of various characters. The multi-perspective display of personality collisions and conflicts reveals the secrets behind the historical scene of the Opium War, interpreting the reasons for the outbreak of the Opium War and China's failure from multiple aspects, as well as many historical details of the collision, temptation, conflict and game with the external British Empire.

Thank you Guan He for your great work
When I first read the title, I thought it was about a history of humiliation in modern times. The words mediocre, corrupt, incompetent, humiliating the country, etc. Appeared in my mind involuntarily. There was a gray, powerless color, and obscure sentences in front of me, and I didn't want to read them carefully. However, after I started reading this book, I found that the text in this book is fresh and refined, and the descriptions are vivid and lively. The de-faceted descriptions of emperors and ministers such as Daoguang, Xianfeng, and Zeng Guofan in the late Qing Dynasty are no longer rigid images. Just imagine what you could do if you were involved in the current events at that time. I admire all the sages! I admire the author!
The late Qing Dynasty brought disaster and humiliation to the Chinese people.

Hey, it's too expensive. I can deposit coins for 100 per chapter and read it slowly. But after reading A Thousand Fragrances, I can only top up the money.
If a young man does not work hard, the old man will be miserable.
Good book, helpful for learning. 😊
Why is it gone? I'm having a great time watching it. There's still a part to go.
