The sky is high and the clouds are light, and I look at the flying geese in the south.

China is a great and ancient empire. Almost since the Qin Empire, it was the center of Eastern civilization. Although it has experienced overturning events such as the Five Barbarians and the Mongols' invasion of the South, its historical status and cultural center have not changed. The East Asian tribute system centered on China is generally considered to be a kind-hearted, benign, and even more perfect international mechanism than the current world system. Except for the Yuan Dynasty of the Chinese Emperor, no matter how tyrannical he was, when dealing with neighboring countries, especially neighboring countries.

At the time, they are always full of kindness and gentleness, and they write about their relationships with each other... This kind of generous style is much better than unilateralism and hegemony. China's neighbors all accept China's leadership with conscience, except for China's education, Japan, and are willing to develop friendly exchanges with China. In a word, China is the least empire in the long world history that has no desire to conquer and domination. The Chinese conquer people with reason and govern the country with courtesy to the fullest extreme.

With the opening of the new route, the Reformation and the Renaissance, Western civilization on the other side of the earth is gradually rising. This civilization is famous for its desire to dominate and cruelty. They tore off the veil of human nature and become something dripping with blood and dirty in every pore - this is a monster that constantly devours the surroundings and expands. In its vision, the world only has the difference between conquering and about to conquer. All it needs to be done is to expand - powerful - and the spiral of expansion. Although the 1500-year world is still so warm, there is already a kind of uneasy restlessness. Unfortunately, the desire caused by this restlessness needs to be filled with four-fifths of the world's land and three-quarters of the population...

When the wheel of history reached 1900, the overall laws of world history became increasingly apparent - the law of the jungle defeated benevolence, righteousness, and cruelty defeated warmth - China, this ancient civilization suffered the most serious invasion from Western civilization, including the westernized Japan, which was always the most insidious enemy of Chinese civilization. The military damage caused to the Qing Empire was insignificant, but it broke the backbone of the empire and pressed the last straw on the camel's back... 1900, the empire was facing a collapse and powerless situation. In its staggering pace, it went towards its own destruction...

Are you able to change this tragic consequence? Some people say that it cannot, and some people say that it can, the former has the upper hand, and the truth is evident, from structural contradictions to historical inevitability, from ruling policies to national policies, from class basis to productivity factors, countless factors point to this conclusion... Some people say that it can, but their voices are weak. Because their judgment is based on assumptions, "if...", "if...", "if...", these are their usual words.

The rebuttal is very sarcastic. There is no if, no if... But what will happen if, once you consider it?

If? No if! Those who believe in linear development shout at the top of their lungs.

Is there really no if? But what should I do if there is an if? Unfortunately, this kind of thinking has never been in the thoughts and consciousness of these orthodox people, in their minds filled with various conclusions and facts, but there is no if...

But what should I do if there is a real if? When opportunities always favor those who are prepared. It is gratifying that Lin Guangyu, a doctoral student in history at R University, made this preparation.
