The Taiping Rebellion lasted for ten years, and tens of millions of lives were lost. China's top political figures, military and financial resources were almost exhausted here. When the author tried to trace the religious enthusiasm in Hong Xiuquan's heart, he was also thinking: Some people firmly believe that they have a mission to make everything "beautiful and beautiful, and the heaven and the people will be amazed by it." They rarely calculate the consequences. Is this the great pain of history? People are no strangers to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and Hong Xiuquan, and academic circles have also done a lot of research and elaboration. Shi Jingqian did not intend to write a complete history of the Taiping Rebellion, but wanted to understand Hong Xiuquan's inner world and pursue the logic of his behavior by providing an orderly historical context.

The Western myths about China mentioned in the book are also very interesting and made me think more deeply about that era. I love such fascinating historical books and recommend them to you!
It is more about criticizing Hong Xiuquan and his cause of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom from a religious perspective.
