When Gu Weining was sixteen years old, he failed in the county examination. He began to doubt whether the imperial examination was his only path. The Four Books and Five Classics could not answer the questions in his heart: why were foreigners so powerful and why was China so vulnerable?
He decided to go to the land of foreigners to find the answer. In the second year of Xianfeng, 1852 AD, Gu Weining looked at his hometown that was far away, and felt confused in his heart. He didn't know whether this trip could give him the answer in the end.
In the eighth year of Xianfeng's reign, in 1858 AD, the motherland was defeated again and a treaty was signed that was humiliating and humiliating the country. Gu Weining looked at the newspaper and became confused about the future of this country. He didn't know what went wrong with this country and its people.
In the ninth year of Xianfeng, in 1859 AD, Gu Weining boarded a passenger ship returning to China. He was determined to serve the country through industry. But in the face of this era of changes that had not happened in three thousand years, could he really single-handedly make this country take a different path?
This book is unsystematic and has no cheats.
