Let's Talk About the Reform Movement of 1898
by Zhang Ming
About This Novel
This book strives to re-examine the Reform Movement of 1898 from the perspective of the social structure and political pattern of the late Qing Dynasty. There are three focuses: first, the dual structure of imperial and empress politics at that time; second, Manchu politics; and third, what went wrong with the implementation of the reform and what was its significance. The author takes a new approach and tells the impact of many factors such as the "politics of idlers under the banner", the political habits of Shilin, and the "patch tradition" of Qing Dynasty politics on the Reform Movement of 1898. He also has a unique interpretation of the performance of the Queen Mother and the Westernizationists, the deformation of political operations in the process of learning from the West, and the common people's perception of the reform.
