Li Hongzhang's feeling after reading.

After reading a book carefully, everyone must have a lot of feelings about life or things. It's time to calm down and write a review. Want to know how to write your thoughts after reading? The following is my thoughts on Li Hongzhang's biography carefully compiled. Welcome to reading. I hope you will like it.

After reading Li Hongzhang's biography, I feel 1 reading history, starting with the story. If Mr. Li Hongzhang's story is put on the big screen, it is doomed to be a tragedy.

The situation of the times limits the mode of life. No matter how talented a scholar is, it is hard to resist the fate of the country being disintegrated by one person. As the first minister in the late Qing Dynasty, Mr. Li Hongzhang was burdened with heavy shackles and tried to dance with him, struggling to move forward under the shackles of the existing status quo. Who said he never wanted to display his ambition, engage in westernization, diplomacy, reorganize the army and build a military industry? He also looked up and down.

But as they say,

"Although he (Li Hongzhang) has extraordinary abilities and excellent opportunities, he cannot be liberated from the narrow, stubborn and deformed system that has bound him and his compatriots for countless generations. What he saw and heard in the western world did not shake his belief in China's traditional political wisdom at all, nor did he change his mentality of posing as an important minister of China when facing other countries. "

We "respect, cherish and grieve for Li". We criticize Mr. Li Hongzhang for using foreign tools, but we don't know how to change the state system in this domestic and international environment. But if it was another person, I don't know if he would do better.

Reflection in the book.

The book Biography of Li Hongzhang is selected from the media, but as the scum of communication, I always remain skeptical about the content of media communication. The fact reflected by the media is usually the fact that the media wants to spread to you (but this doubt about authenticity easily leads us into agnosticism). The author chooses media materials, only considers the game between diplomacy and China officialdom based on media evaluation, and as a British researcher, comments and presents materials from an existing standpoint, the article is inevitably biased against China.

As the first biography of Li Hongzhang in the western world, this book is not a biography in the strict sense. Many of the contents in this article are selected from the existing articles and media at that time, with some political views based on their own positions. The self-position mentioned here is largely because the author himself is a British scholar, and his research perspective inevitably brings the national position of the British Empire at that time. As a researcher, I think this record of China's modern ministers is not only the author's own opinions and opinions, but also plays a role as a national think tank for the British government to understand China and formulate its China strategy.

Perhaps these materials are unfair, perhaps these comments are slightly biased, but after reading them, I still feel a lot. Undeniably, we can look back at the development of China's modern history from the periphery of this book, and draw one or two useful conclusions for the development of individuals or countries.

Sometimes, it is difficult for us to judge the pros and cons from the perspective of the overall situation. Even if we know the overall situation clearly, we can't shake it. What we can do may only be partial improvement, relying on a little strength to save some ethereal changes in consciousness. From the change and subtle capture to a ray of light, this is the light reflected by books.

After reading Li Hongzhang's biography, most people think that most of the stereotypes about Li Hongzhang are negative labels such as a minister of national subjugation and a shameful witness. After reading Li Hongzhang's biography, it is actually difficult to say such irresponsible words again. History is like this, and it can be made clear in one sentence. Did the Northern Song Dynasty really build an empty nest just because there was no sense of armament at all? Is it true that Emperor Gaozong killed Yue Fei just to slander Qin Gui? Did Li Hongzhang sign his strong seal again and again just to betray his country and seek glory?

Perhaps he is a diplomat who only knows how to borrow money, a military strategist who is an expert in civil war and a layman in foreign war, and a reformer who only changes the commercial system without changing the political power. But he really only used the Russian ambassador to deceive his superiors, deceive his subordinates and show off his lifestyle. Otherwise, this is also a diplomatic master who was as steady as Mount Tai when he was assassinated, and his face was covered with blood. On this condition, he saved some humiliating chips for treaty of shimonoseki. Can you say that he is just a chip? Maybe he is an official who doesn't move anywhere except his mouth, but he also works hard, at least trying to westernize.

He is facing a China that lags behind the world in both software and hardware, and is too backward to talk to its neighbors. The boss is an old rascal, very talented and well controlled, but at the same time he is fierce and stubborn and refuses to communicate with the world. So it is difficult for him to push everything in a normal way. We should use various methods, euphemistic, circuitous, occasionally mean and even malicious, to promote the great cause. Little by little, I tried to bring China into the track of dialogue with the rest of the world.

Liang Qichao said in Li Hongzhang's Biography: "I respect Li Hongzhang's talents, I cherish Li Hongzhang's knowledge, and I am sad about Li Hongzhang's encounter." An important official of the Qing Dynasty who was appreciated and admired by Ito Bowen also knew how to be a slave in such a special era, and that's all.

Exploring the world is the endless desire of mankind. When a country spares no effort to popularize knowledge for its people and use the media as a weapon to strengthen knowledge, and when they try their best to open their eyes to the world, China is closed to the outside world. I believe that the gap between countries and people is sometimes opened from these thin words. The description of China's modern history and individuals in Biography of Li Hongzhang, more importantly, the spirit of seeking knowledge and the world reflected behind him, is of great reference significance for enhancing national knowledge and perfecting the national cultural system.

Deng Xiaoping once said: "China is not the Qing government, and I am not Li Hongzhang." However, the reform and opening up under the leadership of this chief designer has more or less the shadow of Li Hongzhang's Westernization Movement. From Li Hongzhang to Deng Xiaoping, we have embarked on a road to success from the experience of failure, and history has left us too much reference and reflection.

Looking at Li Hongzhang's life after reading Biography 3, there are many remarkable points, but under the imperial power system, his ambition has not been realized, which is the sorrow of the nation and individuals.

Li Hongzhang enjoys a high reputation in the eyes of the great powers. 1896 During Li Hongzhang's visit to the United States, an American journalist described him as having a kind face, bright eyes and flashing wisdom and humor. He never asks for anything, but he can always get it. He is easy to talk to people and doesn't make people nervous ... He is polite to women and loves children.

However, Li Hongzhang will not give up any opportunity to fight for the rights of American Chinese immigrants. After his visit to the United States, he deliberately avoided the western United States and chose Canada as his return route, which attracted the attention of American journalists and interviewed him on this matter. Li Hongzhang took the opportunity to ask the American media to help China immigrants: "I hope the American press can help China immigrants. You are proud of your democracy and freedom, but is your Chinese exclusion bill free for Chinese? ..... I believe that American newspapers can help China immigrants cancel the Chinese Exclusion Act. "

Li Hongzhang also made a lot of efforts to abolish the Ukrainian opium trade imposed on China, so he met with British Yue Se G. Alexander, Executive Secretary of the World Anti-Smoking Alliance, on August 27th, 1994. The Ukrainian opium trade was banned by the British Parliament.

Li Hongzhang was also recognized by outstanding figures at that time. For example, Zhang Zhidong, then governor of Huguang, came forward to discuss countermeasures with various ministers. Beijing is in danger. If the Empress Dowager and the Emperor are killed in the war, the central government will face collapse and the country will fall into complete disorder. In order to avoid this situation, the ministers unanimously agreed to elect Li Hongzhang as the "President" of China to take charge of the overall situation.

Li Hongzhang attached importance to western science and sent the first batch of China students to the United States to study modern science and technology. Zhan Tianyou is the representative of these international students who have been admitted to famous universities such as Yale. In addition, the telegraph industry in China was also developed by these students. Li Hongzhang actively studied new things and once asked an international student what a parabola was. The young man explained for a long time, but Li was still confused. The young man is anxious: "Peeing is a parabola!" " Li suddenly realized.

Even Mr. Fei Zhengqing, an American Harvard sinologist who strongly denied the existence of "imperialism" in China for most of his life, finally found his conscience in his later years and said a fair word: "The reason why the powers did not" split China "was partly because China skillfully used one country to contain another." And the person who stopped Eight-Nation Alliance from dismembering China was Li Hongzhang.

Li Hongzhang should be responsible for the failure of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, because the victory or defeat of industrialized Japanese agricultural China was decided before the war. Li Hongzhang was the most outstanding diplomat in the late Qing Dynasty. In his later years, he devoted himself to China's diplomatic career. At that time, he had done his best as a diplomat in the international environment.

Li Hongzhang was born in the darkest and most turbulent era of the Qing Dynasty. Every time he appeared, Qing asked him to undertake "the most embarrassing thing". Therefore, when China people curse him, they really can't "reflect deeply" and really can't "give up their national responsibilities".

Before reading this book, my impression of Li Hongzhang only stayed in the simple summary of him in history books: the suppression of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Westernization Movement, and the signing of unequal treaties. Repressing Taiping rebels made me angry, and signing unequal treaties made me feel heartbroken. Even though I actually organized the Westernization Movement, the collapse of Beiyang Navy made me completely think that he was an incompetent traitor.

When I went to the library to find books about Zeng Guofan, I saw the biography of Li Hongzhang written by Mr. Liang Qichao. Liang Qichao is undoubtedly a hero of political reform in our hearts, a famous political activist, historian and writer, and they are still enemies politically. I want to see what kind of person Li Hongzhang is in Liang Gong's works.

This book gives me a refreshing feeling, ashamed of my knowledge and sincerely admire Liang Gong's point of view. Let's meet Li Hongzhang, an important official in the late Qing Dynasty who was criticized here. In the book, Liang Gong spoke highly of this controversial figure, which begins with "The world is just a mediocre person with no complaints and no reputation". In response to the world's ridicule of Li Hongzhang, Liang rationally positioned Li Hongzhang with objective facts and evaluated his historical achievements and status in his life. What impressed me the most was an evaluation written by Liang Gong: Li Hongzhang was a hero created by the incident, not a hero who created momentum.

Li Hongzhang is one of the few outstanding figures of the ruling class in the late Qing Dynasty. He was more knowledgeable than his peers and was deeply worried about the current situation in China at that time. He knew that China was in a "great change in three thousand years", so he advocated the Westernization Movement. He is also the main pioneer of China's modernization. During the Westernization Movement, he set up factories, built railways, built a navy, set up new schools and sent overseas students to study abroad, all of which made outstanding contributions to the modern development of China. It's a pity that he studied the fur of Westernization, improved the economy without improving politics, and finally did not bring China to prosperity. Coupled with the failure of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, he signed a series of unequal clauses on behalf of the Qing government. Li Hongzhang was cursed by 40 million people at that time and denounced by later generations, and his achievements were virtually denied.

Throughout his life, there are many extraordinary things. Born in the darkest and most turbulent times of Qing Dynasty, every time he "appeared", when the country was in danger, Qing asked him to undertake all the "most embarrassing" things. Li Hongzhang lived in "a country with autocratic monarchy for thousands of years, which reached its peak when the autocratic regime evolved perfectly". In addition, he was deeply influenced by feudal thoughts, which made his life miserable.

After reading this book, I feel a lot, and it is hard to hide my sympathy and regret for Li Hongzhang. He was born at the wrong time, shouldered too many responsibilities of the country and the nation, was forced to sign a secret agreement with the Russian minister when the lights ran out, and was still worried about the country ... all this deeply touched me.

Reflections on Li Hongzhang's Biography 5 Recently, I reread Mr. Liang Qichao's Biography of Li Hongzhang. According to the theme of western biographies, the author made his own evaluation of the historical figure Li Hongzhang by imitating a 500-word composition: he was ignorant and did not dare to break the rules, which was his shortcoming; It is its strength not to avoid hardship and not to be afraid of slander. This biography is conducive to our descendants' in-depth understanding of China's modern history, understanding of that era, and close observation of historical figures. The unique perspective of biography also helps us to get closer to the truth of history.

For the understanding of historical figures, we usually start with textbooks. In middle school, we studied the ancient history, modern history and world history of China. From textbooks in a comprehensive but extremely simple way, perhaps because of the limitation of space or the orientation of educational goals. In a sense, what we have learned is just a series of "knowledge points" and "test sites". Textbooks often have a definition or conclusion about historical figures and events, which is naturally the focus of recitation. For example, I still remember a conclusion about "Taiping Heavenly Kingdom": the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom movement persisted in fighting for 14 years, and its power developed to 18 province, which dealt a heavy blow to the rulers of the Qing Dynasty and was the highest peak of the peasant movement in China for thousands of years. Textbooks have a positive attitude towards the Tian Ping Movement. Li Hongzhang and his entourage participated in the suppression of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Nian Army and other peasant movements successively, and later signed the Sino-Japanese treaty of shimonoseki as a representative of the Qing government. Although they have made some contributions to the Westernization Movement, they have always been a negative role in the hearts of the general public for decades. As a result, at that time, our cognition of historical figures was also black and white. It's hard to imagine that heroes also have shortcomings? What historical contribution is the villain talking about? There are so many "keyboard men" on the Internet now, I wonder if it is affected by this?

2 1 century, the society is more diversified, and the images of historical figures are no longer facial, but gradually become flesh and blood, with lush foliage. I don't know when, from historians to literary and art circles, the "conviction wind" of historical figures was unconsciously set off. A TV series "Towards Harmony" gives people a new understanding of historical figures such as Li Hongzhang. Although TV plays do not represent official history and the brilliance of literary and artistic creation cannot replace historical facts, there is a ripple in people's hearts after all. People look at the mountains and the water. This wave has continued to this day and has a far-reaching impact. Coupled with the influence of many literary and artistic works such as joking about history and exaggerating history, and the erroneous guidance of some historical nihilists, it is difficult for contemporary people, especially teenagers, to get in touch with the truth of history if they do not have the habit of reading carefully, deeply and extensively!

Liang Rengong was a great scholar in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. He viewed Li Hongzhang's behavior from his perspective, commented on Li Hongzhang's talent and knowledge, and judged Li Hongzhang's merits and demerits. Naturally, he is unique. However, it is better to believe in books than to have no books at all. Liang Rengong also has his limitations, and his cognition is naturally limited by his time. There is no need to expect or ask for the so-called "God perspective". I don't know the true face of Lushan Mountain, just because I am in this mountain, so I study and be a man. If I want to jump out of the limitations of this "mountain", I have to read widely, be diligent in thinking and be willing to practice. Only in this way can we reach the height of Wang Anshi's "not afraid of clouds to cover my eyes, just because I am at the highest level"!

After reading Biography of Li Hongzhang 6, there are many remarkable points in Li Hongzhang's life, but under the imperial power system, his ambition has not been realized, which is the sorrow of the nation and individuals.

Li Hongzhang enjoys a high reputation in the eyes of the great powers. 1896 During Li Hongzhang's visit to the United States, an American journalist described him as having a kind face, bright eyes and flashing wisdom and humor. He never asks for anything, but he always gets it. He is easy to talk with people and doesn't make people nervous ... He is very polite to women and loves children.

However, Li Hongzhang will not give up any opportunity to fight for the rights of American Chinese immigrants. After his visit to the United States, he deliberately avoided the western United States and chose Canada as his return route, which attracted the attention of American journalists and interviewed him on this matter. Li Hongzhang took the opportunity to ask the American media to help China immigrants: "I hope the American press can help China immigrants. You are proud of your democracy and freedom, but is your Chinese exclusion bill free for Chinese? ..... I believe that the American press can help China immigrants cancel the Chinese Exclusion Act. "

Li Hongzhang also made a lot of efforts to abolish the film trade imposed on China. To this end, he met with British Yue Se, Executive Secretary of the World Coalition against Smoking, on August 27th (1894). G. Alexander-A bill of the British Parliament prohibits the trade in later films.

Li Hongzhang was also recognized by outstanding figures of his time. For example, Zhang Zhidong, then governor of Huguang, came forward to discuss countermeasures with ministers. Beijing does not guarantee. If the empress dowager and the emperor are killed in the war, the central government will face collapse and the country will fall into complete chaos. In order to avoid this situation, ministers collegiate, and then * * * elected Li Hongzhang as the "president" of China to take charge of the overall situation.

Li Hongzhang attached great importance to western science and sent the first batch of foreign students from China to the United States to study modern science and technology. Zhan Tianyou is the representative of these international students who have been admitted to famous universities such as Yale. In addition, the telegraph industry in China was also developed by these students. Li Hongzhang actively studied new things and once asked an international student what a parabola was. The young man explained for a long time, but Li still didn't understand. The young man is anxious: "Peeing is a parabola!" " "Li suddenly realized.

Even Mr. Fei Zhengqing, an American Harvard sinologist who strongly denied the existence of "imperialism" in China for most of his life, finally found his conscience in his later years and said a fair word: "The reason why the great powers failed to" split China "was partly because China was good at using one country to contain another." And avoid Eight-Nation Alliance dismembered China, is li hongzhang.

Li Hongzhang should be responsible for the failure of the Sino-Japanese War, because the battle between industrialized Japan and agricultural China was decided before the war. Li Hongzhang was the most outstanding diplomat in the late Qing Dynasty. He devoted himself to China's diplomatic career in the second half of his life, and he did his duty as a diplomat in the international environment at that time.

Li Hongzhang was born in the darkest and most turbulent era of the Qing Dynasty. Every time he "appeared", when the country was in danger, the Great Qing Dynasty asked him to undertake all the "most embarrassing" things. Therefore, when the people of China curse and denounce him, they really can't "criticize themselves" and really can't "give up people's responsibilities".
