Sinopse
In 1905, the prelude to the most tragic era of assassination in modern Chinese history was slowly drawn out: Sun Yat-sen set up the Assassination Department of the United League; Cai Yuanpei organized the Society for the Restoration of the Light to engage in assassination; Chen Duxiu became the mastermind of the assassination group; and even Lu Xun, a man of letters, joined the assassination group. Regardless of their beliefs and purposes, they all tried to control the future of the whole country by this oldest form of violence. In the history that has been covered up, an assassin who really decides the life and death of others has also been involved in a number of political assassinations by the current of the times, and has become the key to the checks and balances of all forces: he broke into the Forbidden City to assassinate Cixi, and also served as a bodyguard for Dr. Sun Yat-sen in Tokyo, and also infiltrated into the prison to rescue Wang Jingwei, and Wu Uteng and other anti-Qing warriors to form a deep friendship. In that stormy and chaotic world, he was in countless dark nights, with one assassination to change the fate of himself and the future of this country. The author cites many historical materials to bring the dusty assassination events back to light, and uses the ups and downs of the narrative to deconstruct that period of time when everyone was in danger. Turn the pages of this book to understand the madness and chaos of that millennium of change.
