by Zhang Ming
About This Novel
This book is the result of modern history research by Zhang Ming, a professor of history at Renmin University of China. The book is rich in information, rigorous in argumentation, and popular. It contains new ideas and helps us re-understand China's modern history. The book starts from the Sino-British trade, the Opium War, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Westernization Movement, the Reform Movement of 1898, and the Yihe Dynasty. Major historical events such as the Youth League Movement, the Wanqing New Deal, the Revolution of 1911, the Yuan Dynasty, the Beiyang Civil War, and the May Fourth Movement are all divided into special topics, which are thorough and vivid. This book integrates the basic views of the author's best-selling books "Xinhai: Shaking China" and "Beiyang Fission: Warlords and the May Fourth Movement". It is more systematic than the two books alone. It has very good academic and historical value.

It makes people a little angry after reading it, and I can't help but want to criticize the author for mixing his subjective opinions on history, showing ridicule and contempt for the modern nation, and serious doubts about the position he stands on.

Good book
The author describes the spirit of resistance and educating the next generation to remember suffering as a shrew mentality, which is really not flattering! Let me ask you, if there was no resistance in the past, where would you be today, where would you be today! If we don't resist, I'm afraid we will all be slaves to the little devils now, and the world will change drastically! If we didn't resist and chose to obey, I'm afraid the United States might not be able to win World War II! Besides, forgetting history is betrayal...
