About
"Ti-Ping Tien-Kwoh: The History of the Ti-Ping Revolution (Volume I)" by Lindley is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This work details the Ti-Ping Revolution in China, providing insights into the uprising led by Hung-sui-tshuen and the societal implications of the movement. It combines both a narrative of the author’s personal experiences within the revolution and a broader examination of its political and religious dimensions. The opening of the book sets the stage for Lindley’s detailed exploration of both his arrival in Hong Kong and the complexities surrounding the Ti-Ping movement. He describes the picturesque setting of Victoria and the vibrant life of its inhabitants, including interactions with local boat-girls and reflections on the socio-political climate of the time. Lindley also touches on the challenging political realities under the Manchoo-Tartar rule, hinting at the brewing discontent within Chinese society, which would give rise to the Ti-Ping Rev
