Features: This book continues the characteristics of the annual youth academic forum of the Institute of Modern History, focusing on exploring new fields, new issues, and new materials in modern history. Innovation is its biggest feature. The articles collected in this volume include those that discuss issues of modern political development, the relationship between modern local officials and the Self-Strengthening Movement, as well as topics related to charity and relief. Many of these issues have received little attention in previous research or have not been studied at all. Therefore, this book will play a positive role in expanding the field of modern history research and broadening people's research horizons. When we compare this collection of essays with previous volumes, we will notice that the names of some young scholars who frequently appeared in earlier editions are no longer present, as they have gradually moved on from the ranks of young scholars and have matured. At the same time, we also see new names and new research areas, indicating that the team of young scholars at our institute is constantly renewing and evolving. This marks the vitality and hope of our institute, and we feel pleased and gratified.
