"The Road to Breaking the Cage in the Bloody Century" is a work of historical reflection that uses the theory of "super-stable structure" as the core framework to systematically sort out the predicament of China's modern transformation. The whole book takes "breaking the cage" as the main line and provides an in-depth analysis of the three hundred years of historical process from the heyday of Kangxi, Yongzong and Qianlong to the early years of the Republic of China.
The book first reveals how the sophisticated governance system constructed by the Qing Empire through the Military Aircraft Department, the Sea Ban and other institutions fell into rigidity and isolation while pursuing internal stability. Subsequently, through case studies of the Taiping Rebellion and the Westernization Movement, it was shown how the old system devoured and distorted the internal forces of change. It further demonstrates the inevitability of the ultimate failure of bourgeois reforms such as the Reform Movement of 1898 and the Revolution of 1911 because they were separated from the people and failed to touch the feudal foundation.
The whole book ultimately points to a profound conclusion: In China, any incomplete social revolution cannot truly break the traditional "perfect cage." Only through ideological enlightenment and class awakening, and relying on the power of the overwhelming majority of the people, can the true liberation and rejuvenation of the nation be achieved. This work is not only a summary of historical lessons, but also a reflection on the way out for civilization, and has strong practical enlightenment significance.
