The 1911 Xinhai Revolution brought an end to over 2,000 years of imperial rule in China, ushering in the modern era. It laid the foundation for the establishment of a republican system and opened new paths toward political, cultural, and economic modernization. How did this significant event set China on the road to republicanism and open a new chapter in Chinese history? The year 2011 marked the centenary of the Xinhai Revolution—an opportune moment to re-examine and reflect on its historical significance. This volume originated from the International Conference on the Centenary of China's 1911 Revolution, held in Hong Kong in May 2011. It features 21 carefully selected essays, each offering key insights into the political, social, and historical impact of the revolution. Written by scholars and experts from Mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and overseas, the essays explore a broad range of topics—from revolutionary events to political thought, from heroic figures to the overseas Chinese diaspora, from sociocultural change to military development—reconstructing the key events and ideas of the Xinhai Revolution. This significant scholarly work makes an important contribution to recent Xinhai Revolution studies.
