Features: Dark clouds gather, hurricanes fill the sky. China in 1926, is on the brink of a storm. That year, the ancient and disaster-ridden China had already been in the 15th year of warlord chaos. In 1911, the gunfire of the Wuchang New Army uprising ended the 268-year feudal autocracy of the "Great Qing" dynasty. As people raised their revolutionary flags and cheered for the Republic, those once-powerful governors and vassal lords who had thrived under the Qing court, one by one, transformed themselves and stood under the white revolutionary flags with the 18 stars. Thus, they became heroes of the revolution. All they did was change the words "Great Qing" to "Republic," adding a copper coin-sized badge to the emperors' long robes and horse collars. This time, the flames of revolution quickly dissipated like smoke and clouds. The political opportunists and feudal warlords who sought personal gain and seized military power, using their bloody daggers, pushed the people into a profound disaster.
