Features: A century is long and arduous, yet it also seems brief and rushed. Today, as we pause at the twilight of the 20th century and gaze back at the stirring and turbulent years at the turn of the century, we cannot help but be moved and filled with reflections. Since the Opium War, when British colonialists used their powerful ships and cannons to force open the doors of the Qing Dynasty, China, already plagued by internal troubles, faced increasing external threats, and the land was in dire straits. In times of national crisis and hardship for the people, how many urgent problems piled up before the Chinese people! To avoid the fate of extinction and to revitalize the Chinese nation, generations of Chinese people made heroic and persistent efforts. This book primarily draws on the essays, political commentaries, and critiques of famous modern Chinese writers to inspire the Chinese people.
