NOTES

Read by Shan Tianfang

There are 116 chapters in this book. It tells us that after the Opium War, the rule of Qing Dynasty became more corrupt. People from all over the country, who could not bear the cruel oppression of the Qing Dynasty and the frenzied plunder of foreign invaders, organized themselves to fight bravely and tenaciously. In these successive revolutionary tides, the "Worship of God" led by Hong Xiuquan officially announced the uprising in Jintian Village, Guiping County, Guangxi on January 11, 1851 and designated the country as the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Since then, the Chinese revolution has ushered in a new historical period
