More about the book
Set against the backdrop of 19th-century China, a group of 120 boys is sent to America to absorb Western innovations amidst national turmoil. Their journey through New England's elite schools ignites a passion for progress, but upon their return, they confront a skeptical imperial court and a society resistant to change. The narrative intertwines their personal struggles with the broader quest of a nation striving for modernization and global influence, revealing both individual and collective resilience in the face of adversity.
