Features: This book is one of the "A Detailed Account of Chinese History" series, written by the renowned American historian Li Dongfang. It narrates important events and key figures from the establishment of the Qing Dynasty by Nurhaci and Hong Taiji to its fall. The author presents the history in the form of storytelling, making it both popular and vivid. He describes historical events such as the war with Russia, the Opium War, the Taiping Rebellion, the Hundred Days' Reform, and the Eight-Nation Alliance's invasion of China, as well as historical figures like Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong, Wu Sangui, Hong Xiuquan, Heshen, Li Hongzhang, Kang Youwei, and Cixi. The book combines engaging stories with authentic history, offering insightful commentary, and also explains historical mysteries such as the abdication of Shunzhi, the sudden death of Yongzheng, and the origins of Qianlong. The "Detailed Account" style adopted in this series is neither as arduous and dry as official histories nor as fanciful as unofficial legends, making it a uniquely charming historical work.
