追寻现代中国：1600-1949

His detailed narrative makes me wonder what moments he considered most pivotal. Did he aim to highlight specific events or trends that shaped China today?

The book's historical analysis made me think about how past revolutions and reforms influence today's policies. Are there parallels readers see with modern events?

The book covers a wide range of topics from different eras. I’m curious how Spence decided what details to include or omit to keep the narrative clear.
