The Founder's Dilemma

This book is very rich in content. Through the analysis of historical events, it allowed me to understand the development context of modern Chinese history. Moreover, Teacher Zhang Ming's explanation was very vivid, which gave me a deeper understanding of this period of history. The book also mentioned the efforts made by our predecessors to integrate into the world, which also made me understand that we should face the world with an open mind, rather than always with hatred. Overall, this is a great book worth reading!

Every time I read something about modern history, I feel a sense of resentment and a bit of sadness. I am glad that the great Chinese nation has survived those humiliating years and those ridiculous pasts. By the way, I have to say that the Manchu Qing Dynasty was closed to the outside world, and earth-shaking changes had taken place in the outside world, but internally, as the author wrote, Yelang was arrogant, blindly self-confident, and praised himself as the Celestial Kingdom. It is sad and deplorable!

History is so messy unimaginable And it's logical

It vividly restores some details of the history before and after the Opium War, but the title of the book is a bit puzzling.

There is always a pattern in the direction of history. If you fall behind, you will be beaten at any time. Only by remembering this humiliating past can we learn from history and strengthen China!
