A Chronicle of Humiliation in Modern China, Beginning in the Late Qing Dynasty

At Jiang Wharf, Jiang Ma woke up to find he'd awakened the Sky Screen Projection System, which could project short videos he came across into the past and present, across ancient and modern eras.

He watched videos about the humiliations of modern history.

Qin Shi Huang: The Qing Dynasty was so incompetent, surrendering sovereignty and bringing shame upon the nation. How infuriating.

Chiang Kai-shek: I'd say it was the emperor's incompetence. If I'd been in charge, the outcome would never have been like that.

Trump: Could our great America really end up declining like this one day?

He watched videos about fighting the novel coronavirus.

Qin Shi Huang: Excellent! The people of later generations unite and press forward in the face of disease. With such values, civilization is bound to flourish.

Trump: Oh, don't tell me I could've just said to drink disinfectant. Then the novel coronavirus would've been wiped out long ago.

Chiang Kai-shek: There's a disease this serious? It can actually force an entire country into a state of emergency.

He watched videos about the world's strongest superpower in overall strength today.

People around the world stared in shock. So the number one country was no longer America.
