Modern History of China
by Jiang Tingfu
About This Novel
An undisputed authoritative work, Chiang Kai-shek appreciated the historian's rational telling of modern Chinese history. This book takes China's modernization as a clue and believes that "whether the Chinese can modernize will determine the rise or fall of the country." It mainly elaborates on the efforts of modern people to strengthen themselves in the face of "great changes unseen in thousands of years" and the reasons for their failure. It then proposes that "modern national defense requires not only modern communication. Communication, education, economy, and modernized politics and people, half-new and half-old are useless." The historical framework and chronological history system constructed in this book once led the trend of modern history research and were praised by later researchers. It is called the pioneering work of modern Chinese history research.
