The Legend of the Republic of China in Troubled Times

This story is set in an imaginary world that is different from the real history of the Republic of China but has a similar style. In the early years of the Republic of China, although the Revolution of 1911 overthrew the rule of the Qing Dynasty, the land of China did not usher in the expected peace and unity. Various forces are competing with each other. There are warlords fighting internally, and various factions are fighting for territory and resources. Wars are raging, and the people are suffering miserably. There are also external powers, who are trying to further carve up China's interests and manipulate China's political economy by supporting different warlord forces. In this era, tradition and modernity collide fiercely. Although feudal ethics have been impacted, they still constrain people's thoughts and behaviors in many aspects; the gradual influx of Western ideological trends such as democracy and science has inspired the awakening and resistance of a group of far-sighted people. As the largest city in the Far East, Shanghai is the intersection center of economy, culture and politics. It is a world-famous place full of people, and it is also the frontier of the struggle between various forces, becoming the main stage for the story to unfold.
