Record of Peril in the Late Qing Dynasty: War in the Name of Opium
About This Novel
This book is the first in the series "Records of the Crisis of the Late Qing Dynasty" by Fengcheng Du Ge, a new "popular history" writer. The author narrates the history before and after the Opium War in the late Qing Dynasty in a ridiculing tone, with humorous language and smooth flow. Taking 1757 (the 22nd year of Qianlong's reign) as a starting point, the British merchant ship captain Hong Renhui went to Beijing to file a petition as an entry point to reveal the underlying reasons for the outbreak of the Opium War step by step. Taking the war process line and main events as aspects and character expressions as points, the process of the Opium War is three-dimensionally narrated. After the war, it focuses on explaining the impact of the "Treaty of Nanjing" and related treaties on modern China, revealing the underlying reasons for the trend of China's modern history and inspiring readers to think.
