Reader comments
This book gave me a deeper understanding of China's modern history and made me appreciate my current life more. I especially like the description of the Taiping Rebellion in the book, which shows the rebellious spirit of the Chinese people. Just like what Hong Xiuquan said, "If you have fields, you can farm together, if you have food, you can eat together, you can wear the same clothes, and if you have the money, you can work together." This kind of pursuit of equality and freedom is really admirable. This book is rich in content and unique in perspective. I recommend it to you!
