Features: Modern Chinese history is a part of the comprehensive history of China and holds a special position as a period-specific history. History is an unbroken continuity, and today's China has evolved from historical China. The entire ancient China is the source of contemporary China, while modern China is the direct source. Modern history is closest to the present, its content is closely related to current political, economic, cultural, and social life, and the influence of many people and events still remains. The historical patterns and rich historical experiences revealed in its evolution undoubtedly have the most direct reference significance for the development of contemporary Chinese society. This book comprehensively presents the history from the establishment of the Republic of China government in 1912 to the collapse of the Kuomintang regime on the mainland in 1949. It highlights the content of economy, culture, thought, academia, and foreign relations, differing from previous works on Modern Chinese History in both format and content.
