Afterimages of the Qing Dynasty I was also born late and did not see the beginning of the 20th century.However, today, seven years from now, the 21st century will come.Judging from my current physical and mental aspects, I can see the handover of the two centuries without any problem.In this sense, I can also say that I have been with the 20th century, so I am qualified to write "I and China's 20th Century". For the passage of time, everyone's heart is a mirror.My heart is certainly no exception.I consider myself to be a rather sensitive person. Although I dare not say that every detail will be obvious in this side of my mind, it is indeed not dull.I believe that my mirror reflects the real situation for ninety years of the 20th century, and I can completely rely on it.

I was born in 1911, the year of the Xinhai Revolution.Two months and four days after I was born, the "last emperor" was invited down from the throne.Therefore, I often jokingly refer to myself as "the young man left behind in the Qing Dynasty".As long as I can remember, I still sometimes hear the villagers talk about Beijing's "imperial court" (the emperor in the peasants' mouth) in awe, as if they are still on the throne.I don't understand what a "court" is. He seems to be a man, but also a god. Anyway, he is a very authoritative and powerful animal.

This is the afterimage of the Qing Dynasty reflected in my mind mirror.
