Biographies of Influential Figures in the Late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China · Yuan Shikai

The late Qing Dynasty was a shame for China

As a heroic figure in modern Chinese history, Yuan has both advantages and disadvantages in the development process of Chinese history. Only when evaluating historical figures can we make decisions that are fair and objective and live up to history.

This book shows readers a more brand-new, comprehensive, objective and three-dimensional Yuan Shikai!

This book gave me a more comprehensive understanding of Yuan Shikai. He is really a complicated person. He went from being an unknown person to the president, but in the end he tried to become emperor, which made people both love and hate him. However, I still hate his act of proclaiming emperor and feel that he betrayed the revolution. The content in the book is very rich, and the author's descriptions are also very vivid, making me feel like I have traveled back to that turbulent era. I recommend you read it and discuss it together.

Narrate history objectively and impartially.

Very well written, you can read it

Yuan was able to take the center stage of history in a weak country in troubled times. It is undeniable that he had certain extraordinary powers. This book briefly introduces Yuan's life, and the merits and demerits still need to be judged by the readers themselves.

The influential figures in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China were smart and confused for a while, which is regrettable.

The entire article is written in vernacular, easy to understand and engaging. If Yuan Shikai had not been misled by his eldest son in the end and proclaimed himself emperor, he would have been considered a great man of his generation.
