Chapter 13: The Storm of Revolution
With the voice of reform becoming increasingly high, revolutionary thoughts also began to emerge. Some people began to recognize that the Qing Dynasty could no longer be saved through reform, and only revolution could bring about true change.
During his journey, Lao Can saw the revolutionary thoughts. He saw some young people beginning to spread revolutionary ideas and calling for the overthrowing of the Qing Dynasty and the establishment of a new regime. These young people were filled with enthusiasm and courage.
The revolutionary thoughts made Lao Can feel inspired. He believed that although revolution was a radical means, it might be the only way to save China. The corruption of the Qing Dynasty had penetrated to the bone marrow, and reform could no longer truly solve the problems.
However, the path of revolution was full of dangers. The Qing government carried out cruel suppression of revolutionaries, and many revolutionaries lost their lives. This sacrifice made Lao Can feel sorrowful.
Lao Can recorded the revolutionary thoughts. He believed that the current of history could no longer be obstructed, and the seeds of revolution had been sown and would one day bloom and bear fruit.
