From the Wuchang Uprising on October 10, 1911, the beginning of the Revolution of 1911, to the abdication of the Qing emperor on February 12, 1912, the end of the feudal monarchy, there were more than 120 days. Although these 120 days are fleeting, they are also thrilling. They condense the last memories of the 3,000-year feudal dynasty and the 300-year disintegration of the Qing Empire. This book is a historical reconstruction of the last 120 days of the Qing Dynasty. Based on first-hand historical materials such as Qing palace archives, this book follows the time chain when the Qing government learned about the Wuchang Uprising, and outlines the historical scene before its collapse. The author carefully and concretely explains the Qing government's gains and losses in military, financial, diplomatic, and central operations after the Wuchang Uprising from multiple dimensions, reproduces the historical process of the Qing government from hasty disposal to helpless abdication, and uses concrete writing to restore the Revolution of 1911, a major event that changed the destiny of Chinese history.
