Big Choice: Yuan Shikai in the Great Change
by Ma Pingan
About This Novel
In the great changes, some people will be pushed down into the abyss by the times, but some people can rise up. As a generational hero in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, how could Yuan Shikai resist the whirlpool of great changes and not be buried with the Qing Dynasty? How could he rise to the top step by step? From a soldier to wearing a yellow robe, what kind of magic does he have? This book tells the story of Yuan Shikai making a "big choice" in the context of a big era. Yuan Shikai saw clearly the changing context of the times in the turbulent situation, and made major decisions one after another in line with the times, and then realized his ambition step by step. However, when he reached the pinnacle of power, he missed the mark, went against the times, and made wrong choices. Later, he fell into the abyss and was reviled through the ages. This book affirms Yuan Shikai's contribution to promoting China's modernization to a certain extent, but it also denies his unscrupulous approach for personal power.
