- 55 Blood-Red Sunset: The Last of the Great Ming 残阳如血：最后的大明 The tragedy of the Southern Ming is not that it “lost,” but that it “could have won.” Too much infighting, too much suspicion, too much selfishness allowed the Qing to defeat its forces one by one. This book is not an “epic of heroes,” but a “tragic elegy.” It is not about “the belief that victory is certain,” but about “doing what must be done, even when you know it cannot be done.” It is not “patriotic education,” but “remembrance of the departed.” The Southern Ming Emperors ├── Hongguang Empe 30Reads—Score—Shelves
