The Ashes of Purity: A Chinese Century of Pain and Reckoning

1911—The Qing falls, but not into Sun Yat-sen’s republic. In this timeline, Zhang Binglin rises instead, and with him, Huanghanism(皇汉主义)—a movement cloaked in purity, forged in pain. What begins as pride becomes exclusion; what promised unity ends in silence. The old empire dies, but in its ashes, something colder takes root.
