It is very difficult to change a society, especially a society with thousands of years' history like China. The conservative forces are very powerful. In the past, the change of the system was often the victory of the old forces and the suppression of the changing forces. Such a delay is often decades or a century later, and social problems remain the same. The ultimate solution is a violent revolution, where the world is in chaos, and all classes perish together in the process, and then reshuffle and start over.

Any improvement is not feasible in China, that is, the vested interest groups as a whole lack the spirit of compromise, and the situation is unforgiving, and it will not end well in the end. Cixi not only harmed the Great Qing Dynasty, but also "the grandson of the dragon son", and even harmed China for a hundred years. Finally, she even carefully built her own grave-a paradise for her to continue her life after her death, and she did not avoid being taken away and raised by grave robbers. ( .cn)

The mirror of history clearly tells us that when the old social order cannot be maintained, as a powerful party, that is, vested interest groups, we must understand that it is very necessary to make concessions or compromises. This is actually the wisest choice to safeguard and preserve our own interests. Although concessions are lost, there are gains, not immediate gains, but long-term gains, otherwise they will be completely lost. Instead of moving your property and children to a safe place with trepidation and leaving a way out for yourself, why not build a safe country like others? Because the initiative is in your own hands. The ancients in China knew long ago that they were richer than three generations in China. The little rich can't fight against robbers, government officials and their own losers, while the big rich can only fight against the redistribution of property by the mob including the emperor's old son. So the genius of westerners lies in understanding the importance of political compromise earlier than we do. Compromise, compromise, compromise finally produced parliamentary democracy, and the country settled down once and for all.

Power must be shared. Only by sharing can we have a harmonious society and avoid turmoil, civil war and division.

China's political civilization is progressing slowly and difficultly. The main reason is that the wisdom of the whole people has not been developed and opened up. We bear the heavy burden of 5,000 years of civilization, arrogance, narcissism and self-defense. But when the door opened and we opened our eyes to see the world, we were deceived, but we were not convinced. There is really nothing to show off. There are four books and five classics, as well as those gymnastics fights wrapped in mysticism, which scare foreigners and deceive ourselves.

The essence of autocracy is to impose one's will on others. In fact, in an authoritarian society, autocratic thought is not unique to the top leaders, but a universal social mentality. Therefore, the transition from autocracy to democracy is not only to change the problems that individuals can solve, but to transform everyone-at least most people-to transform a society. It is naive to think that one or two leaders can be changed or replaced. Therefore, correctly speaking, it was not Empress Dowager Cixi who destroyed the Reform Movement of 1898, but China society.

But in the past 100 years, the last thing those in power wanted to do was to emancipate people's minds. Seeing this, we can understand why China always stumbles along the way. Democracy has become a topic of the century. Looking back at history, I wonder how many people have become victims because they want to think freely. Over time, ordinary people only know the secrets of many dissenting Confucian, Hanwu, Kangxi Emperor and their imperial power struggle, and what Dong Fangbubai and Plum Blossom Collection are, but they don't know how to be patriotic and be a citizen with rights. If you want to get rich, be an official or organize a triad society. If you are wronged and have nowhere to take revenge, you will take risks and stab the knife. It is conceivable that talking about democracy and elections on the basis of such popular wisdom may indeed be a bit irrelevant. But who is to blame? Blame the ignorance of the people? Who gave the green light to their ignorance? ( .cn)

Now, this has become an excuse for some people to think that China cannot engage in democracy like some western countries. From the practice of the world, we can really see that democracy will reach what level the people's democratic literacy reaches. It is an inevitable process that countries that embark on the road of democracy at first will inevitably present some confusion at first. Moving towards formal and mature democracy is a challenge for any country. However, ethnic groups that do not accept this challenge may face greater risks in the future.
