Hu Xueyan, My Dear

Description

Description

The time is late Qing dynasty. Hu Xueyan, one of the country’s wealthiest merchants, is actively acquiring weapons and military supplies, in full support of General Zuo Zongtang against the threat of foreign invasion by the Eight-Nation Alliance. Li Hongzhang, who has been at odds with Zuo over the years, is closing in on Hu in an act to eliminate those who get in his way.How does Hu, at the peak of his career, tackle with the situation Within the Qing court, no one seems to manage to stay out of the constant power struggle, be it open or secretive. This vicious and dark battle is perhaps, as the Chinese saying goes, a battle where people are killed yet no blood is drawn.
