The Moving Away from the Imperial Regime,[2] or Departing the Imperial Regime,[3] is a collection of historical essays written by Chinese historian Qin Hui,[4] majorly dealing with the topics of modern Chinese history before and after the Xinhai Revolution, and questioning the long-dominant Marxist historiography and the historical view of strengthening the nation in Chinese historiography.[5] The book describes China's tortuous history of constitutional transformation.[6]

With the central theme of the difficulty of China's departing the imperial regime, Moving Away from the Imperial Regime points out that China's second transition (from imperialism to a republican, democratic, and constitutional system since the late Qing Dynasty) is still incomplete after more than one hundred years,[7] and it is difficult to predict when it will succeed. This view in the book provoked the discontent among Chinese book censors and was banned.[8]

Overview

[edit]
