Synopsis

"New China" is a masterpiece written by Lu Shi'e when he was 32 years old (1910). This is an extremely amazing novel. The novel is written in the first person and is a fantasy work with dreams as the carrier. The protagonist Lu Yunxiang had a dream in 1910. When he woke up, he was surprised to find that Shanghai had a new prosperous scene. The city's subways are criss-crossing, bungalows are lined up in rows, a grand theater has been built near the racecourse, and Lujiazui has become a financial center... The fields involved cover technology, transportation, architecture, medicine, industry and many other aspects, which are almost the same as today's real situation. In addition, the book also mentions many things, such as rain streets with light and shelter from rain, flying cars for ordinary people to ride, water shoes that can walk freely on the water, fireworks similar to movie plot effects, new bathing methods that only use "steam" without water, etc., Which have yet to be realized.

What people lack now is imagination, they all want to travel back in time, and traveling back in time is science fiction

The idea for this book is amazing! The author shows his imagination about New China through dreams. The character in the book, Ms. Li Youqin, is admirable for her knowledge and insight. Her understanding of constitutionalism and the achievements of China's diplomacy were clearly described, which gave me a deeper understanding of the people of that era. This book is full of longing for the future, and it also makes me cherish my current life more.

Rich imagination and strong late Qing characteristics. The scientific principles therein have limitations of the times and obvious characteristics of the times.
