Download or read book Complete China written by Alok Barman and published by Alok Barman. This book was released on 2024-10-18 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of China is a journey through time and space, a story that is both epic and intimate, stretching from the earliest records of human life to the thresholds of the modern era. When I first embarked on the ambitious task of compiling this complete history, my intention was not only to recount the major events and dynasties that have shaped China, but also to explore the cultural, social, and intellectual movements that have defined its people and influenced the world. China’s long history is often divided into epochs of unity and disunity, prosperity and hardship, tradition and reform. Yet, underlying these shifts is a profound continuity—a sense of identity and endurance that has allowed Chinese civilization to adapt and thrive through dramatic change. The aim of this book is to present that continuity alongside the remarkable transformations, from the ancient cultures of 10,000 BC to the end of the imperial era in 1950 AD. This volume is not merely a collection of dates, events, and rulers. It is an exploration of China’s philosophical contributions—from Confucianism to Daoism—its scientific innovations, its struggles for unity, and its responses to external challenges, both military and cultural. I have also sought to highlight the voices and lives of ordinary people, the workers, scholars, and artists whose contributions have often been overshadowed by the grand narratives of emperors and generals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dreams of Gold Dreams of Power These drove men and women to seek their fortune in Sarawak. They came from Britain to carve a future on virgin soil from China - to escape grinding poverty. They fought and traded, lived and died in the struggle to fulfil their dreams. Some lost their lives to bloodthirsty headhunters, or in the disease-ridden swamps and trackless jungles of the interior; some survived to make their fortune. Chinese, British, Malays rubbed shoulders with fearsome Sea Dayaks, and nomads in the hunter-gatherer stage of evolution. The Steam Age met the Stone Age in this exotic, untouched land. Cultures clashed in a multiracial society. Charles Brooke, enigmatic White Rajah of Sarawak, was a man of vision, a man with a mission to tame the natives first, then to protect them from exploitation. His dream was to take them gently towards modern civilisation, to bring them the rewards of self-development. He was paternalistic but loving, a truly benevolent despot. Dreams of Adventure Dreams of Romance Stephen Young, a young graduate, arrives in Sarawak in 1898. Seduced by its virgin beauty steaming jungle, majestic mountains and noble savages he stays. Erotic intrigue, passion, violence and warfare surround him. His goal is to survive these with his head and his heart intact.
