About This Novel
This book is a collection of eight articles in total that Professor Sang Bing has published in academic journals over the years. The political revolution in the late Qing Dynasty was a major drama in modern history. This book uses the "rising sun" as a metaphor for the emergence of the Republic and the end of the monarchy. It focuses on the game competition between various forces in the turbulent Chinese political arena during the half year or so from the Wuchang Uprising to the abdication of the Qing emperor and the founding of the Republic of China, which is the historical process of the Revolution of 1911 in a strict sense. During this time, Sun Yat-sen and Yuan Shikai were competing in the political arena, and it could be said that they were rivals.
