Revolution
by Ma Yong
About This Novel
This book describes the historical process in which the late Qing government tried to save itself from danger through constitutional monarchy, but was eventually overthrown by the revolutionaries. Is Zaifeng a new political figure advocating for constitutionalism, or is he a clown digging his own grave? Did Sun Yat-sen persevere to build a republic, or did he become president by chance? Was Yuan Shikai committed to constitutionalism and loyal to the Qing Dynasty, or was he coveting power and stealing the country? This book reveals the answer for you. This book also provides a new way of thinking about the Qing Dynasty.

The Chinese revolution has followed the path of armed struggle since Sun Yat-sen established the Revive China Society in 1894. However, due to the particularity of China's history, the Chinese revolution has faced the major problem of power disparity from the beginning, and the revolution and counter-revolution are simply not proportional.
What to say! When I read many books, I can't help but sympathize with the weak side, but after reading this book, I actually hoped that the Qing emperor would not abdicate when he read about the late Qing Dynasty. When I had this idea, I just wanted to WOC. Really, even I was shocked!
Probably because it involves major changes not seen in two thousand years, and there are too many complex factors that involve the combined efforts of all parties. It can be seen that I am writing with warmth, trying to write intense things as mildly as possible, and trying to attribute changes to objective factors rather than subjective factors.
