Features: "The 'Heavenly Fire' Burns in China" is an important work in the study of modern Chinese intellectual history, focusing on the early introduction of Marxism to China from the late 19th century to the 1930s. The methodology of this book is not to describe history, but to verify it with solid historical evidence. Every historical event, figure, or social movement and its organizational status included in the book are supported by detailed source references. The breadth of its citations and the depth of its insights provide readers with rich and unique rewards. Since its publication in the early 1980s, the book has been highly regarded by scholars both at home and abroad. For this edition, the author has supplemented the book with new arguments from his research over the past two decades, nearly matching the length of the original work and making the content even more substantial.
