Such a Country

Content introduction At the end of the 18th century, British envoy Macartney led the largest mission in history. Under the pretext of celebrating the birthday of Emperor Qianlong, he traveled thousands of miles to China in an attempt to open the ancient and mysterious country and expand trade. First, there was a dispute over etiquette, which was resolved by Emperor Qianlong's initiative to make concessions. Later, the British put forward many unreasonable trade requirements, which were completely rejected by the Qing court. This was the collision of two worlds, and the passing of historical exchanges laid the foundation for the war decades later. When the British mission passed through Zhoushan, it brought an unreasonable disaster to private school teacher Guo Jieguan. Guo Jieguan was taken to Beijing as an imperial prisoner, and his life or death was uncertain. With the help of Yin Peidian, Guo Putao went to Beijing to save his father, and a series of stories happened. The work reflects the era from a unique perspective. The heyday of Kangxi and Qianlong was just the sunset, and a greater crisis was waiting behind.
