Late Qing: I Started with a Bowl, and I, Chen Xia, Rebelled!

Chen Xia transmigrates to 1905, the dying days of the Qing dynasty. The court is rotten, and refugees are everywhere. Russia and Japan are at war in the Northeast, yet the Qing court shamelessly declares itself neutral, letting foreign armies trample China’s lands. The whole nation is in an uproar, and public resentment boils over.

After the Qing government cancels the contract for the Canton-Hankow Railway and decides to build it itself, local gentry and ordinary people eagerly donate funds. Yet millions of taels of silver are siphoned off at every level by court aristocrats and local officials, and not a single cent goes toward the railway.

Chen Xia becomes a refugee, starting out with nothing but a bowl! When the county magistrate is asked why the poor don’t simply eat meat, he even imposes a beggar’s tax on refugees! Having arrived from the future, Chen Xia understands just how rotten the Qing court is…
