The Forbidden City [Legenda] (5/6)

The revolts around China, the Empress Cixi, the western barbarians entering the Forbidden City uninvited - these were all signs that an era was coming to a close, a bad omen that the most enduring Dynasty in the whole world would soon cease to exist.
What it leaves us is a bittersweet feeling.
I got the same feeling after reading 'The Last Battle' by C.S. Lewis.

HAHA - true my friend. The Fall of China was indeed proportional to its greatness, thus it was a great fall indeed. But so will be her exaltation and revival - proportionally to the 'fearful symmetry' of her glory - GREAT INDEED!

This video is created by portoguese poor in English. QING IS NOT CHINA. Manchu were killed by burma and whitemen. manchu attacked chinese Ming Dynasty but manchuria had been colony of han for thousands years, manchu people became bright by learning hanzi or chinese language of yellow river, han Zhang Dynasty. manchu used han or chinese language, causing western some confusion. This confusion is corrected by the term "china proper". So there is "Han Chinese" in English dictionary.

Okay, I have to call bull. Cixi did NOT stage that coup, that was Prince Kung among others. She and Tzu An didn't know hardly anything about politics, and they were little more than figureheads, symbols really. Most major decisions were influenced by Prince Kung and other people close to the throne. I am absolutely SICK of people portraying Cixi as a power-hungry, manipulative woman when she had neither the education nor the ambition to be so.

thats why you never put a women in charge. A women only gets the small picture and cant think big.
