"Weeping Mountains and Rivers: A Hundred Years of National Tragedy" takes you back to those heavy and tragic years.
Since the powerful ships and cannons of the foreign powers opened the door of China, the land of China has fallen into an endless abyss. In the past, the Kingdom of Heaven was shattered and its mountains and rivers were in ruins. Unequal treaties are like shackles, wrapped around the necks of the people; the iron hooves of the invaders trample on the country, burn, kill and loot, leaving the people displaced and mourning everywhere.
In this darkest moment, there is Lin Zexu's determination to burn out the cigarettes in Humen, saying "no" to the great powers with a fearless attitude; there is the bloody battle of the Beiyang navy soldiers in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894; although the battleship sank, their heroic souls will live forever in the waves; and there are countless unknown heroes who fought to the death with the invaders in the streets and in the mountains and forests with crude weapons.
From the smoke of the Opium War to the flames of the Anti-Japanese War, this book provides a panoramic view of China's century-old humiliation and struggle. Those stories that have been dusted by time are the pain of the nation and the clarion call for awakening. Here, you can see an ancient nation struggling in suffering and rising up in despair. Every page is full of blood and tears, and every story is thrilling.
