About This Novel
In 1911, the Revolution of 1911 occurred in China; in 1914, the First World War broke out, and China entered the war three years later; in 1919, China sent a delegation to the Paris Peace Conference, and then the May Fourth Movement broke out. From the Revolution of 1911 to the outbreak of the May Fourth Movement, what was the situation in China like? Western media such as The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Christian Science Monitor carried many reports. Many Westerners who came to China, including Nobel Prize-winning writer Pearl Buck, also told stories about China. At the Paris Peace Conference, in order to regain Shandong's rights and interests, how did China's Ambassador to the United States Gu Weijun, China's Foreign Minister Lu Zhengxiang and others mediate? Wilson wanted to help China recover its rights and interests in Shandong, so why did he compromise with Japan and what were the consequences? Is the origin of the May 4th Movement related to Wilson's advocacy of equality and national self-determination? Chinese intellectual elites such as Hu Shi, Cai Yuanpei, and Chen Duxiu led the May Fourth New Culture Movement. The United States compromised with Japan, and they were disappointed with the United States. But the Western news media saw the drastic changes taking place in China, which was called "China's awakening." Historian Wang Di's new book "Chronicles of China: 1912-1919" shows this magnificent and colorful non-fiction history.
