Features: This book conducts a comprehensive comparative analysis of three reform movements in late Qing Dynasty—the Self-Strengthening Movement, the Hundred Days' Reform, and the Late Qing New Policies—through rational thinking. It reveals the three-stage journey of late Qing reforms, from spiritual confusion to pragmatic helplessness, ultimately seeking solutions, and profoundly uncovers the subjective and objective historical roots of the failure of late Qing reforms.
