    prevented the imperialist powers from carving up China.

    Preserved Chinese culture and civilization...

    contain a possible outbreak of an imperialist war...

    The awakening of national consciousness ...

    One of the cornerstones of the great victory of the Chinese people fifty years later...

    The Boxer Rebellion is a very short but rich event in modern Chinese history, and it is also a major event representing China's transformation. In the case of the Boxer Rebellion, if we did not adopt the same attitude and anti-imperialist methods as the Boxers, we should be given the "laurels" of being two devils and unpatriotic. The choice of method is not sufficient to consider the motivation.

    We have always believed that the Boxer Rebellion was commendable in courage and feared in the people's spirit, but its methods were not adequate. There are laws, there are changes in the law, and there are revolutions after them, all of which have their criticisms and merits. In comparison, we cannot but say that the Boxer Rebellion was absurd in many aspects.

    We cannot hide this aspect of its problems just because its popular popularity is commendable, and we cannot stop pointing out such problems because of the so-called limitations of the times (in fact, not all such problems are in the same era).

    After the fall of Dagukou, the Qing army and the Boxers actively resisted the foreign invaders. Cao Futian and Zhang Decheng, the leaders of the Boxers, led the Boxers into Tianjin to attack the invading army. The governor of Zhili, Yulu, is still in exchange.

    With the help of the Qing army, the Boxers fought against Zizhulin and Laolongtou. The governor of Zhili, Yulu, also mentioned the achievements of the Boxers in the memorial.

    But at the same time, the Allies rapidly increased their forces. The Japanese attacked Jijiazhuang, defeated the Boxers, and then attacked Nie Shicheng with other allied forces. Nie Shicheng's department failed because it was outnumbered. Nie Shicheng died in Baritai.

    After Nie Shicheng's death, Ma Yukun and other Qing generals changed their attitude towards the Boxers. Ma Yukun asked the boxer to fill the void in the vanguard, but shot the boxer in the back. For example, in the battle of attacking the concession at night, "the Chinese soldiers were in the back, the boxers were in the front, and the foreign soldiers attacked the concession together."

    Foreign soldiers shot to defend the concession, and at the end of the day, they planned to kill more than 2,000 boxers with knives with their fists, and the foreign soldiers opened fire, killing all the soldiers in front and shooting the officers and soldiers in the back. So there are so many dead people in Xiquan, not all of them were killed by foreign soldiers. Later, Song Qing, who arrived in Tianjin, was also "killed by a group".

    As a result, "within half a day, all those who had been on the altars and the flags inside and outside the city were scattered," which greatly weakened their power. However, the Allies, having made adequate preparations, launched a full-scale attack on Tianjin. After the end of the bloody war, the allies, under the guidance of traitors, bombed the city walls, attacked the city, and Tianjin fell.

    The Allies established the "Tianjin Metropolitan Yamen" to colonize Tianjin.
