About This Novel

This book tells the story of the arduous rescue effort carried out by the national elite on the eve of the collapse of the Qing Dynasty, but why did it disappear at the last moment? From 1910 to 1911, the Manchu Qing Zizhengyuan held a meeting to prepare for amending the constitution and promoting the monarchy. However, the results disappointed the people. In despair, the constitutionalists changed course and moved towards a republic. Although the Manchu Qing regime eventually collapsed, the top-level design and governance ideals of the elites of the Zizhengyuan in many aspects such as politics, education, and economy left a rich legacy that China could learn from later on.
