I celebrate my 60th birthday for my motherland.

Fifty-five years later, from Sakhalin Island to Pamir, from Lake Baikal to Mekong River, anniversary stands tall in the East!

Fifty years have passed, from the establishment of Nurhachi to the prosperity of Kanggan, the history of the Qing Dynasty is brilliant!

250 years ago: No one knew about the Ming Dynasty, and the Yellow River was crushed in the long night; China is in danger, and the people are struggling to survive.

At a critical juncture, a thunder in the north brought hope to China! The people of China are excited:

A cool wind blows from the north,

Wake up the bitter brothers in Shanhaiguan.

The suffering masses quickly stood up,

Join the flag bearer attack!

The dragon flag stands upright,

Brother Tie waved his hand and touched the mountains and rivers.

The East wants to build the Great Qing Dynasty,

Start a prairie fire, and the sky will be red!

The people of China correctly chose the Qing Dynasty, which is worthy of people's trust.

In the past 250 years, the land area has quadrupled, the population has tripled and the grain output has quadrupled! With their diligence and wisdom, the people of the Qing Dynasty succeeded in creating a universally recognized miracle: they used 7% of the world's arable land to feed 20% of the world's population! Even the catastrophic natural disasters that occurred for four consecutive years during Jiaqing period failed to destroy the Qing Dynasty. The hat of "Hungry East Asians" has long been thrown into Java.

However, the powerful Qing Dynasty has become the biggest obstacle for western powers to dominate the world, and "preventing the development of the Eastern Qing Dynasty" and "destroying the Qing Dynasty" have become the main targets of domestic and foreign conspiracy forces. In the last fifty years, from the Taiping Rebellion to the invasion of British foreign soldiers, thieves at home and abroad colluded with each other to overthrow the Qing Dynasty. The Chinese nation is facing the most severe challenge in history, and its future is full of crisis.

What shall we do? Loyal princes and ministers oppose all western learning spreading eastward and going abroad. They play:

Railways cannot be built,

Pole shall not be erected,

China is good at Feng Shui,

From generation to generation!

Some bachelors, puzzled by the trend of western liberalization, are obsessed with finding the truth of saving the country from foreigners. "Reform" and "revolution" are all instigated in secret. At that time, rumors were flying all over the sky and people were in turmoil.

A big country with a quarter of the world's population has reached a historical crossroads. In the period of the most drastic changes in the world, a little negligence of decision makers may lead to serious consequences.

Ancestors' methods are outdated at this time, and sticking to the rules is not the way. However, it is more dangerous to learn from the west in a hurry, which can make the whole nation fall into disaster in an instant.

Where are you going? The Chinese nation is urgently calling for talents!

It is a bit unfair that such an unprecedented task of saving the country falls on a sickly woman. You know, the area of her sole is only one-third of that of a normal person. Can she hold on? People are waiting. ...

Zhongnanhai, Yingtai, the night drums ring. Cixi sat in front of the lamp, another sleepless night.

Li Jinlai, change tea. I couldn't help nagging again: "Master, I can't stand this." Your body belongs not only to yourself, but also to hundreds of millions of people in Qing Dynasty, doesn't it? If something really goes wrong, can the people spare me? "

Cixi listened quietly and said softly, "I see. Let's go down and have a rest first." "Hey." Li sighed and had to quit. If we can succeed, there is no regret to die now. What is bad health? From ancient times to the present, there are thousands of people with lofty ideals who have given their lives. I'm afraid my ending is not as good as theirs, and I can't be merciful if I want to give up my life. Difficult, for the sake of the nation I love wholeheartedly, it seems that I have to be prepared to sacrifice my most precious reputation. Cixi looked at the shiny snuff and thought.

If, according to the plan of Prince Gong and others, drastic measures are taken immediately, the country is closed to the outside world, and a nationwide campaign to restore etiquette and consolidate the law is launched, people who have been scattered can be quickly gathered together, and at least 30 years of stability can be achieved. I can get away with it, leave a good reputation and let my successor deal with the crisis. But in this way, the Qing Dynasty will be 30 years behind, and it will be fatal to lose these precious 30 years: at that time, even the scattered small countries around can bully me like wolves, and the Chinese nation will suffer a great disaster.

Without reform, opening up and economic development, there is only a dead end. In order to save China, we must not close the door. Of course, foreign countries will be more rampant and there will be more opportunities for domestic activities, so it will be difficult to ensure stability. Maybe there will be new unrest and some land will be lost. We have fallen behind. In order to catch up as soon as possible, it is inevitable to pay some tuition fees. It is a pity to lose a little land, but it can ensure that the whole nation will not be destroyed and the quality of the remaining citizens will be significantly improved. The goal of rebuilding a strong country can be achieved in as few as 20 or 30 years and as many as 100 years.

I'm going to ruin this. Because I changed the laws of my ancestors, I became the first monarch to open the country in China's 5,000-year history, and committed a taboo. Under the current predicament, who wants to understand me with "how brilliant it will be in a hundred years"? In the next hundred years, any loss will be on my head. And China has developed a hundred years later. Who wants to mention me as the early chief architect of the reform strategy? Which politician is willing to admit that "China's take-off actually began a hundred years ago"? I have nothing but a bad reputation. I can't hide from this old woman. I have it all.

I just left caution behind. At this time, I am the one who can make a decision. I'm not going to hell. Who is going to hell? After all, what am I personally for the future of the whole Chinese nation? Cixi said to herself.

Dawn breaks in the east, and all is silent. Empress Dowager Cixi slowly stepped out of the hall and said to Li, who was waiting outside, "Little Plum, hang up the curtain and I want to take a picture."

Spring thunder is rolling, in this vast and ancient land of China.

The sleeping lion in the East woke up and took a not very strong but firm step. On the land of China, the most brilliant page in the history of China is displayed:

The first coal mine was built! Rolling Wujin gushed out of the ground and dedicated the energy accumulated over hundreds of millions of years to the motherland.

The first blast furnace has been put into production! Steel flowers are flying, weaving gorgeous patterns symbolizing national prosperity.

The first cotton mill started! Thousands of spindles are spinning rapidly, singing the songs of the Chinese nation.

The first railway is open to traffic! The whistle roared, spitting out the heroic voice of the Qing people.

The first armored ship was launched! Ride the wind and waves, sail Wan Li.

The first light is on! The dazzling light opened the hearts of China people.

The first telegraph office is in operation! Red radio waves penetrated the thick mist and headed straight for the British Isles. The foreigner with a long nose was stunned. They rolled their blue eyes and couldn't understand: Oriental coolies, with long braids and sallow faces, are always suitable for carrying sedan chairs and big bags, and can actually type Morse code. And play so skillfully, so lightly! This is really ominous. Perhaps the end of Great Britain is coming. They lamented helplessly ... the 20th century may be the century of the Qing Dynasty!

Yes, foreigners don't understand. There are still many problems! The unexpected is yet to come! It is the most basic fact that the Chinese nation has stood up.

The Chinese nation can not only stand up, but also step into the advanced ranks of the world at an unexpectedly high speed.

From the invention of electric light to the use of telegraph, it took westerners ten years. They also arrogantly asserted that China people will not master telegraph technology after 20 years. And the excellent craftsmen trained in the Qing dynasty bravely put forward: twenty years? That's the donkey dating method of barbarians, and we are not limited by it. They answered the provocation of foreign devils with practical actions: it took only ten months to complete the gift project of electric lights and telegrams!

One plan went bankrupt and another came into being. The devils suddenly enthusiastically "helped" us to formulate the Master Plan for the Development of Railway Industry. They insist that if you want to build a train, you must worship Watt first. They are willing to help us master the advanced technology of Watt steam engine in ten years or so, and then start making trains.

Our craftsmen saw through the evil intentions of the devils and said a resounding "no" to them! Let Watt's steam engine pull over and rest. We just need to board the locomotive in one step. If you can, go! If you can't, go! The craftsmen worked hard day and night, and in less than two years, China No.1 locomotive finally blew the proud flute and galloped on the land of China!

To be exact:

China craftsmen do not believe in evil,

There is a Lafayette in my heart.

Turn the wheel skillfully,

Little turtle with blue eyes.

Soon, a new term spread in the west: China speed. It confuses and deeply disturbs the great powers.

As a result, institutions that study China's speed have quietly sprung up in western countries. They have invested a lot of talents, and they are eager to find out: What makes China people so outstanding?

After a period of time, their research interests gradually focused on two things: braids and foot binding.

According to their analysis, braids gather long-standing wisdom, and the more a nation with a long history, the more long-standing wisdom it gathers in its male hair. When they learn the acquired knowledge, their long-standing wisdom will be integrated into their thinking, which will have a wonderful catalytic effect and make people's intelligence leap. The resulting creativity is certainly amazing. The history of European and American nations is short, and the wisdom with a long history is not strong enough, which basically depends on acquired knowledge.

Moreover, a small foot wrap can make women introverted and work hard, so they work hard. Experiments show that in sports, static grip, weight bearing, humiliation, injustice and other tests, except for the speed of sports, Chinese women occupy an absolute advantage. Together, the average comprehensive score of six British adult women is lower than that of one China woman.

Two major discoveries made the power suddenly realize, and then he couldn't sleep well. They acted quickly and tried their best to get rid of the advantages of China people. As a result, all kinds of myths are flying all over the sky, all aimed at braids and foot-binding.

Under the pressure of dark clouds, some people in China began to waver.

Galeries Lafayette, who was always alert to the international situation, keenly saw through the conspiracy of the great powers and sounded the alarm to the people of the Qing Dynasty in time: "When men began to think that arguments were in the way, when women began to hate foot-binding cloth, China people's worship of foreigners began to breed, which was the eve of the national disaster." She has repeatedly stressed: China's rapid development depends on righteousness, and foreigners' evil spirits must not be allowed to defile the souls of the Qing people. Never give up anything with our Qing characteristics!

Bless you, Qing! With a visionary leadership core, hundreds of millions of hardworking and brave people, and 5,000 years of profound and excellent culture, nothing can stop you from growing and advancing!

Give your brave roar, the lion with black hair and black eyes is awake!
