The end of Sun- Yat sen’s life in 1925 was the beginning of Beiping. Following Sun- Yat sen’s death, Chiang Kai- shek (Jiang Jieshi) became the party leader of the Nationalist Party (Guomindang). By 1926, Chiang Kai- shek had already reunified the majority of south China and defeated many northern warlords in his Northern Expedition. This led the Nationalist Party to build their capital in Nanjing rather than staying in Beijing. Beijing at the time correlated with “political conservatism, warlord corruption, and imperial decadence” (Beijing, Pg. 135). Therefore, from 1928 to 1949, Beijing lost its privileged to hold the nation’s capital and was renamed Beiping. Today, we are able to learn and imagine for ourselves what those times were like through readings such as Rickshaw Boy, Midnight In Peking, and Beijing: From Imperial Capital to Olympic City that provide …show more content…
Huniu was greedy with her money and did not give it away generously to those in need. When Fuzi was in need of a home, Huniu jumped at the opportunity to offer her a room only to gain more money. If Fuzi wanted the room, Huniu’s “only condition was that Fuzi give her twenty cents each time she used the room. Friends are friends, but business is business” (Rickshaw Boy, Pg. 211). Another person worse than Huniu was Er Qiangzi, Fuzi’s father. This man forced Fuzi into selling her body to bring in money for her starving siblings. Rather than working himself, he decided to be a drunk and have his daughter sell herself. This showed the corruptness people were living though at the time. After losing all hope Xiangzi became a drunk, corrupted man himself. Although he once borrowed money to be a puller, in the end he borrowed money with no intention of ever paying it back and would spend it on drinks and brothels. This represents daily life at the time from two sides of the spectrum, he honest, hard workingmen, and the men that would spend their money

In the lapse of time between the two world wars, China was experiencing the so called ‘awakening’. In 1912 the empire was abolished and the republic was announced, but it fell into the hands of a ruling class subjected to the Japanese hegemony. Sun Yat-sen, who had already played a key role in the events of 1911-1912, after the
China has changed in certain ways and remained the same in others from the early Golden Ages to the late 1900s. China has experienced a series of cultural and political transformations, shaping the lives of many Chinese citizens. Culturally, the country’s art and literature hardly changed for almost eight hundred years. Along with their culture, China remained politically the same from the beginning of the Golden Ages all the way until the 1800s. On the other hand, China’s government and society were restructured after new leaders took over. From a monarch to total communism, China’s society had a multitude of new ideas and policies they had to adapt to.
Mao Zedong’s rise to political power as chairmen of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), was made possible by the failings of the GouMinDan (GMD). After the fall of the Qing dynasty, in 1911, China fell into disarray where warlords had power, rather than a national government. Sun Yat-sen began a nationalist group whose militaristic tacts allowed them to unite china under a singular party, the GMD. Despite many revolutionary promises very little positive changes were made by Chiang Kai-shek, who became leader of the GMD in 1925.However because of the party’s lack of political knowledge and poor socio-economic abilities the GMD’s rule was a failure. Mao used this to project his own ideology on China in the form of Maoism. Mao’s ability to take advantage of China’s bad situation allowed him to receive the support he required in order to rise to power.
Turning point is very difficult and challenging for everyone. This ideas are in I Never Had it Made by Jackie Robinson, it’s about a baseball player, made a history as the first African American player “broke the color line” and played in Major League baseball team.

The United States will suffer an economic catastrophe when China stops purchasing U.S. government bonds because the U.S. government will not be able to pay its bills. According to Morgan Housel of the investment community, “China has indeed been a prolific buyer of U.S. debt over the past decade; in 2000, Mainland China owned less than $60 billion of Treasury debt [and] by 2010, it owned more than $1 trillion, surpassing Japan as America 's largest foreign creditor.” It is hard to imagine that such a world power like the United States needs any assistance from others. For years it has been speculated that without the help of China buying U.S debt, they will be in a huge deal of problems. That is extremely exaggerated being that the U.S. have many other investors but it is important to note that China is a very huge part of our economic success. Without the help of China we can truly look forward to higher interest rates, higher inflation and crowding out private investment. I do agree that the United States needs China in order to maintain a stable economy. With out the help of China’s investments the America’s economy will become weaken by the impending high interest rates, inflation, high unemployment rates, decrease in productivity, a decline in the stock market and a country where its citizens highly rely on their help of the government.
In correlation to Stalin’s Russia, Mao’s China shadowed through the darkness of an intensive economic crisis, generally referred to as, ‘The great leap forward’. The campaign lasted over a decade despite the catastrophic events that made China and its economy go downhill. Although Mao’s efforts were too colossal to go unnoticed, the monstrosity of a decade lead Mao to slowly fade in the background. Consequently, Zedong’s acquaintances, Deng Xiaoping and Liu Shao-chi, rose to power to rectify the situation. Deng and Liu’s attempts to restore China – after the period of the great leap forward - may have been an optimistic road for the two officials. However, for Mao Zedong, it was far from the ideologies he obtained from the very beginning. Mao’s return in 1966 was merely to enforce his socialist principles, underpinning the Cultural Revolution.

Yi’Haung started a conservative reform program which aimed to restore “the three systems of land tax, relief grain and military service” as all three had become seriously corrupted (Fairbank, Reischauer and Craig, 1973, 612). Schirokauer (1993, 215) argues however that the reform program was not drastic enough to “transform Korea into a strong and viable state” and so the attempt to modernise made by Yi’ Haung was ineffective.

From a stance, many can understand the ongoing struggles that China faced while dealing with the establishment of the Republic of China. Soong Ching-ling took on tolls as she dealt with personal difficulties as well taking on the responsibilities and actions of Sun Yat-Sen.

In her book, “The Struggle for New China” by Soong Ching- ling herself, Soong Ching-ling and her husband took on difficult tasks as they attempted to fix the fundamental patterns arising back then and still today. In 1948 she became honorary chairman of the Kuomintang Revolutionary Committee, a splinter group organized in Hong Kong to oppose Chiang Kai-shek’s Kuomintang.
