A Hundred Years of Mourning

Introduction   This book truly restores the tragic historical process of northern grassland development in modern times. A hundred years ago, the pressure from the great powers from the north and east to engulf the Northeast forced the Qing government to reclaim the northern grasslands. Thousands of mainlanders who came to Guandong poured in, and the grassland showed a magnificent development scene, prompting the grassland to rapidly shift from a nomadic economy to an agricultural economy. The expansion of the agricultural economy has led to the growth of employment relationships on the grasslands. Herders who have lost their pastures are forced to painfully re-choose their way of survival. The blood ties of tribes have weakened, and the princely system of alliance banners has also declined. This has triggered a series of bloody storms in the northern grasslands in the past century. The infiltration of the Russians and Japanese into the grassland has made the grassland even more dangerous. This book's description of the northern grasslands from 1900 to 1934 brings people back to that era of war. Based on the journey of the prairie prince Wu Tai on the path of separatism, and the story of a group of Shandong men headed by Chi Zhenyu who ventured into Guandong to start a business in the prairie, the story immerses the rough, wild and unruly customs and customs of the prairie hundreds of years ago. It shows the magnificent and epic journey to Guandong a hundred years ago. It shows the turbulent social evolution of the grassland for hundreds of years, and the arduous and poetic history of the Mongolian people, the Ewenki hunters, and the Shandong men who entered the Guandong region a hundred years ago, who fought with the Russian and Japanese powers who coveted our land to defend our land, and warned the Chinese people not to forget the national humiliation.
