This book is a collection of the author's papers and commentaries on China's modern history and international relations published in domestic academic journals and mainstream media from the 1980s to the present. Such as "The Formation, Nature and Function of Zeng Guofan's Westernization Thought", "The Dangerous Consequences of Wrong Words and Actions - On Postwar Japan's Understanding of World War II", etc.

This book explains that there were important differences between China and Japan in the feudal period in terms of land acquisition system, small farmer status, product economic development, political system and ideology. Therefore, in modern times, Japan embarked on the path of imperialism through the Meiji Restoration, while China became a semi-feudal and semi-colonial country. At the same time, it is clarified that the victory of China's new democratic revolution is incomparable to all modern changes in East Asia.
