Assassination 1905 (Complete Works)

In 1905, the most tragic "era of assassinations" in modern China slowly began: Sun Yat-sen established the Assassination Department of the Tongmenghui; Cai Yuanpei organized the Liberation Society to engage in assassination activities; Chen Duxiu served as the mastermind behind the assassination group; and even the scholar Lu Xun also joined the assassination group. No matter what doctrine they believe in or what purpose they harbor, they all attempt to use this oldest method of violence to control the future of the entire country. In those covered histories, an assassin who truly determined the life and death of others was also involved in many political assassinations by the tide of the times, and became the key to the checks and balances of all parties: he broke into the Forbidden City alone to assassinate Cixi, and also served as Sun Yat-sen's bodyguard in Tokyo. He also sneaked into the prison to rescue Wang Jingwei, and even formed a deep friendship with Wu Yue and other anti-Qing patriots. In that turbulent and troubled time, he changed the future destiny of himself and the country with assassinations one after another on countless dark nights. The author cites many historical materials to bring the assassination incident that has been hidden for many years to light, and uses an ups and downs narrative to re-construct that period of time when everyone was in danger. Open this book to understand the madness and chaos of that thousand-year change.
