In this Second Edition of his widely acclaimed history of modern China, Jonathan Spence achieves a fine blend of narrative richness and efficiency. The text is tighter throughout and up-to-date on the most important scholarship in the field. The new discussions in this thorough revision include the extension of imperial power into central Asia by the eighteenth-century emperors, women's literacy and education in the Qing, the early development of Chinese nationalism, the roots of Chinese communism and alternatives to Mao, the early stages of the Great Leap Forward and of the Cultural Revolution. There is a new chapter at the end of the book on economic, cultural, and political developments since 1989. Praised as "a miracle of readability and scholarly authority," (Jonathan Mirsky) The Search for Modern China offers students a matchless introduction to China's history.

这书是高中时候历史老师给我们读的。厚厚一本的英文书，真的和板砖一模一样。很多美国顶尖大学也用这书做历史书。这书主要是叙述，却一点儿不冗长。真的读进去却觉得时间过得飞快。Spence笔法精妙，学术考究，不愧是耶鲁大学的教授。是非常好的学习中国近代史的材料，满分推荐。
