One hundred years went by from the 1911 Revolution to 2011.The
year 2012 marks another 100 years since the end of the Qing Dynasty
in 1912.This past century has been full of twists and turns.As Li
Hongzhang,a Chinese general and statesman of the late Qing
Empire,wrote in 1872： "This is a great change unprecedented in the
3,000 years of Chinese history" However,it was only the
beginning.The 20th century saw drastic and complete changes spread
across China.Even in the 21st century we can still feel the
momentum of these changes,and are spurred on by their impact.
As we look back at this volatile 100 years,we can''t help asking：
What exactly were the changes? This book tries to answer that
question through a palette of daily-life pictures.
On the evening of October 10,1911,gunshots were fired in Wuchang
City,and the centuries of dynastic rule quickly came to an
end.China opened a brand-new chapter in its history.However, the
road ahead was still full of hardships in spite of the founding of
the Republic of China.The country was tortured by secession and
unrest while waiting for a revolution and rebirth.The wave
of "modernization" challenged every corner of old China.Men''s
pigtails were cut off and the binding of girls'' feet was forbidden
by law.Loose robes with wide-open sleeves and large belts swiftly
dropped out of fashion.Cities with foreign-style buildings sprang
up.
