No Land at Both Ends: Society, Politics, and Culture in China in the Early Twentieth Century
About This Novel
The latest masterpiece of modern historian Professor Yang Guoqiang. With his meaningful writing style, he leads readers into the historical scenes of the early 20th century, recreating the thoughts, politics, and society of the transitional era from the late Qing Dynasty to the early Republic of China: China has been fragmented through layers of decomposition over thousands of years of history; the New Law and the Western Law, which people have adapted to the times and have each expanded, have failed miserably in real China. During this period, major issues such as the suspension of the imperial examinations, the constitutional reform, the Revolution of 1911, and the New Culture Movement appeared one after another, creating a "quick modernization" on an unprecedented scale. Through the contradictions, complexity, changes in characters and chaos of world affairs in this period of history, the author explores the origin, connotation and consequences of this radical change, which has unprecedented intensity and depth, causing rupture, disconnection, destruction and even disintegration.
