The Fragile New Deal: Comparing the Meiji Restoration and the Late Qing New Deal (oriental History Review 14)

About This Novel

After the Gengzi national disaster, the magnificent empire building was crumbling and in danger. The imperial rulers of Yongqian were shocked by the Western force and had to resort to methods that they had hated in the past to prolong the life of the last dynasty. Suspension of imperial examinations, elimination of subordinate officials, establishment of schools, training of new armies... History seems to have played a huge joke, allowing people who were once called "conservatives" to make deeper reforms than "reformers". However, can this reform "turn the tide" like the Meiji Restoration? On the road to self-redemption of the old system, the wildfire of revolution is slowly burning.
