Content introduction
1898 is a famous year in the modern history of China. Paul Goldman, a reporter from the German "Frankfurter Zeitung", was assigned by the newspaper to visit China this year, specifically to investigate China's economy, military, judicial and so on. Landing from Hong Kong, he went deep into the hinterland of China through Guangzhou and Shanghai to Hankou, Wuchang, Jiaozhou, Tianjin and Beijing, and interviewed Li Hongzhang, Ronglu, Chen Jitong, Secretary to the Governor of Guangdong and Director of the Bureau of Likin, Shanghai Daotai and other figures in the late Qing Dynasty. As a historical record of foreigners' visits to China, the book has irreplaceable historical value. Readers can feel the important historical details of the transformation of the late Qing Empire in the difficult and dangerous situation through the perspective of "the other" with a sense of scene, and then see the fresh style of Chinese society in the late Qing Dynasty.
