(us) William Summers

96K0

From 1910 to 1911, Northeast China, which had been invaded by foreign powers, faced another severe test of the plague. Great powers such as Japan and Russia expanded their power in the name of public health management; the Qing government, which was approaching its twilight days, made its final response. As Wu Liande rushed to Harbin to turn the tide, medical elites from various countries gathered in Fengtian, and the game entered a fierce stage... This was not only an environmental disaster, but also a historical portrayal of modern China's response to foreign aggression. Ecological disasters, geopolitical conflicts and political confrontations were intertwined. China's modern public health industry took advantage of the crisis to sprout, and its influence continues to this day.
