《A Love Never Lost》Historical background

《A Love Never Lost》The historical background is after the Gengzi Revolution in the late Qing Dynasty. It tells the story of aspiring young people who rose up to save their country.

The Gengzi Revolution refers to the late Qing Dynasty. Due to the excessive bullying by foreign powers and the many evils committed by foreign religions in the local area, it aroused widespread resentment among the Chinese people and led to the rise of the Boxer Rebellion.With the slogan "Support the Qing Dynasty and destroy the foreigners", the Boxers pulled out electric poles, destroyed railways, burned churches, and killed foreigners and Catholics.The Qing government believed that the Boxers were invulnerable, so they declared war on the eleven countries on May 25, the 26th year of Guangxu's reign (1900).In order to extinguish the anti-imperialist struggle of the Boxer Rebellion, safeguard interests in China, and expand the invasion of China, the eight-nation invasion coalition composed of Britain, the United States, France, Russia, Germany, Japan, Italy, and Austria, was formed by the British Navy in June 1900.Led by General Seymour, he set out from the Tianjin Concession and attacked Beijing.In the end, China fell into an unprecedented disaster and was on the verge of partition.1900 was the Year of Gengzi in the Chinese lunar calendar. The turmoil that broke out more than 100 years ago was also called the Gengzi National Incident, Gengzi National Disaster, and Gengzi Incident by the Chinese.

In the summer of 1898, Empress Dowager Cixi abolished the New Deal that Emperor Guangxu had tried to implement for 103 days, once again deprived Guangxu of his power and imprisoned him in Yingtai.

Soon after Emperor Guangxu was placed under house arrest, Cixi began to consider deposing him, but this was unanimously rejected by all countries. The emperor's deposedness was also a major event that shocked the whole country. Cixi's decision was also opposed within the Qing government.In the end, under the opposition of most people, the issue of “deposing the emperor” had to be shelved.Cixi wanted to replace Guangxu with her eldest brother in order to continue to control the political power, but the interference of foreigners led to the abortion of the plan to depose the emperor. Cixi believed that foreigners had interfered with her housework, which deepened the conflict between them and Cixi.While refusing to recognize the new emperor of China, the foreign envoys raised an issue of greater concern to Cixi. They jointly sent a note to the Qing government, asking it to immediately announce the suppression of two secret societies that opposed foreigners, the Boxer Boxing and the Boxer.The sword will be %.

In the years before the war broke out in 1900, the Qing government's attitude towards the Boxers had been ambiguous. However, foreigners could not accept this wall-riding policy. Therefore, various countries strongly demanded that the Qing government immediately make its position clear.

On August 19, 1900, the fifth day after escaping from Beijing, Cixi issued two edicts. The first one was sent to Minister of Military Aircraft Ronglu, Academician Xu Tong and Minister of Household Affairs Chongqi, explicitly ordering them to stay in the country.Beijing sued for peace from the foreigners, but not long after the city was broken, Ronglu had already fled to Baoding, and the two ministers also hanged themselves one after another.Her second edict was sent to Li Hongzhang in Shanghai, asking him to quickly go north to preside over peace negotiations with Prince Yikuang of Qing.On the 20th, in a small county 100 kilometers northwest of Beijing, the Qing government, which was eager to seek peace, issued such an official document to the world in the name of Emperor Guangxu - the Sinner's Edict.

《The Sinful Edict》actually answers to the question of who should bear the responsibility for the war between China and foreign countries.At least judging from the content, only the Boxers, the local bureaucrats, the military, and the ignorant princes and ministers should be the objects of liquidation.

On August 23, 1900, Cixi set off and continued westward to prepare for Shanxi.The next day, she sent another telegram to Li Hongzhang, telling him that he could do things cheaply and that the court would not control things remotely.

Among the great powers, Russia was the first to agree to peace.Russia wants the three northeastern provinces, and an important purpose of Russia's negotiations here is to resolve the border issues in the three northeastern provinces that the Sino-Russian secret treaty of 1896 could not resolve.So when they heard that Li Hongzhang was coming to negotiate, the Russians were the first to support it.After the news that Russia was preparing to take the lead in negotiating peace with China was revealed, the complex conflicts that had lurked between countries in the past were once again exposed.After some coordination, the various countries finally decided on the strategy of negotiating peace first and then armistice, instead of the method of armistice first and then negotiating peace as hoped by the Qing government.

After the Gengzi Revolution, China's sovereignty was completely lost.The Gengzi Kingdom turned into a national anti-foreign movement in which the Chinese people could not bear the oppression of foreigners. They did not hesitate to use their own flesh and blood to fight against the enemy's artillery fire. Their patriotic spirit was praiseworthy, but their actions were foolish.Li Dazhao said in "The Fundamental Differences between Eastern and Western Civilizations": "In recent days, what we should strive for is how to draw on the strengths of Western civilization to alleviate the poverty of Eastern civilization.We must not corrupt the world with the Boxer mentality and the image of my death and annihilation."

After this incident, the Qing court was in ruins, and the Chinese people, after suffering all the humiliation, were even more eager to pursue ways to revitalize the country.
