This work is based on real historical events of young children studying in the United States, and some of the characters and plots are artistic fiction. The story aims to show the arduous journey of intellectuals in the late Qing Dynasty as they explored the road to national salvation, as well as the complex picture of the first collision between Chinese and Western civilizations.
The novel combines historical reality and bold imagination. It has both solid historical evidence and wonderful fictional plots; it has both thrilling political wrestling and touching cross-cultural love; it not only reflects on the lessons of history, but also looks forward to the future of the nation. It is not only a fascinating historical novel, but also a profound reflection on China's modernization path.
If history could repeat itself, where would we go?
