Trapped between Past and Present: Chinese Society, Politics, and Culture in the Early Twentieth Century
Trapped between Past and Present is the latest masterpiece by modern historian Professor Yang Guoqiang, which takes readers into the historical scene of the early years of the 20th century with timeless writing, recreating the ideology, politics and society of the transitional era from the late Qing Dynasty to the early years of the Republic of China: thousands of years of historical China has been fragmented in layers of decomposition; The new law and the Western law were completely defeated in real China. During this period, major issues such as the suspension of the imperial examination, the reform of the constitution, the Xinhai Revolution, and the New Culture Movement appeared one after another, creating a kind of "rapid modernisation" on an unprecedented scale, and on the other hand, bringing about "the most turbulent era, the most unstable era, the most unprovoked era, and the most wandering era" in modern China.
