    Due to the closure of the country in the late Qing Dynasty, which led to a great reduction in national strength, China in the late Qing Dynasty can be said to be a history of Chinese humiliation, when the people also saw the inaction of the late Qing Dynasty, they were not only oppressed by the Qing Dynasty, but also bullied by foreigners, so the overwhelming people launched many uprisings, the largest of which was the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement.

    Although this movement ended in failure, and the leader and his generals were all killed, modern experts have doubts about this period of history at that time, when Hong Xiuquan had many wives and children, and it was impossible for the Qing ** to eliminate them all, and many people may have taken advantage of the chaos to escape for their lives. After reviewing the relevant historical materials, experts believe that Hong Xiuquan's descendants may have fled China and settled in Japan. We don't know the truth of this incident, but after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, there is an incident that seems to prove this theory again.

    In 1943, a large number of Japanese soldiers came to a village in Guangdong, and the officers who led the team bowed to the ancestral hall of Hong Xiu's family surrounded by everyone. At that time, the villagers were very strange, why did the Japanese kneel down to the ancestral hall of the Chinese? These Japanese also saw the doubts of the villagers, explaining that they were the descendants of Hong Xiuquan, and that they had heard their family talk about this place when they were young, and that they would definitely go to the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors when they had the opportunity in the future.

    Why did Hong Xiuquan's descendants come to Japan? This Japanese said that after his ancestors were besieged, he felt that his political power could no longer be maintained, so he sent people to secretly escape some of his family members by water, and they sailed from the Yangtze River into the sea by boat, and ran to Japan by sea, and settled in Japan.

    The Japanese, who claimed to be the descendant of Hong Xiuquan, also wanted to take away the genealogy in the ancestral hall, because the descendants of Hong Xiuquan in Japan at that time had developed into a family, and he wanted to bring this genealogy back to Japan to show the people in the family, and he also said that he was just borrowing it, and after the family people saw it, he would send it back immediately.

    Later, the Japanese army wanted to demolish this ancestral hall, and they couldn't stop their villagers from thinking of Hong Xiuquan's descendants in Japan, so they found him through various methods, and after the Japanese heard about it, they ordered the soldiers to stop the demolition, and no Japanese dared to go to this village to harass them.

    This Japanese is also more trustworthy, and returned the genealogy shortly after taking it, but some people found that they were still tricked, and the genealogy that was exchanged back was not the original one at all, but a copy, and the original one had already been left in Japan. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, some Japanese who claimed to be the descendants of Hong Xiuquan came to the village to worship, and at the same time expressed their apologies for the theft of the genealogy, and the original of this genealogy was finally returned and is now stored in the museum.

    Yes, Hong Xiuquan's descendants fled to Japan for refuge, and later returned to China to worship the ancestral hall of the Hong family, but took away the genealogy, but later returned it.

    At that time, they were already surrounded by the Qing army, and almost no one escaped. So there shouldn't be.

    A very important thing is that after Hong Xiuquan raised his army, he completely resisted Confucianism and advocated Catholicism. In China, this practice completely violated a psychological status quo of the Chinese at that time. The Qing Dynasty took advantage of this loophole to extinguish his chaos.

    Although there is a certain amount of popular support and influence, it lacks strategic ability and military leadership, and its ability is scattered and cannot stand the test at all.

I think that the Taiping Rebellion dealt a heavy blow to the feudal ruling class, strongly shook the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, and accelerated the decline of the Qing Dynasty.

The evaluation criteria of history textbooks (the version I used to use when I was in school) are based on the role of promoting historical progress, but I personally think that it is better to evaluate the historical events of the time according to the concept of right and wrong. For example, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom indiscriminately killed innocents, but it was not mentioned in the textbooks, because this issue involved right and wrong, but it did not affect the course of history.
