Shore commenting on's words This book is a collection of historical essays by Mr. Zhong Shuhe. How can China achieve modernization early and catch up with advanced countries? How can the nation become prosperous early and no longer suffer from backwardness and humiliation? These were the issues that patriotic intellectuals of the late 19th century dedicated themselves to solving. This book takes Huang Zunxian, Guo Shoukang, and Xu Jianyin, the three pioneers who first learned from the Western world and explored China's modernization model, as examples. Based on detailed and vivid historical records, it shows us the different experiences and intellectual journeys of generations of intellectuals who stepped out of the country.
