19世纪50年代是中国灾难深重的时代。1850年,被英、法帝国主义发动的鸦片战争搞得焦头烂额的道光皇帝咽下了最后一口气,把一个百孔千疮的帝国留给了咸丰。1851年,咸丰皇帝刚继位,广西金田村就爆发了太平天国农民起义。由于广大老百姓受尽清朝卖国腐朽统治的压迫和剥削,起义很快呈燎原之势。到1853年初,不到三年,起义者就横扫江南半壁江山,定都南京。一时间,清朝统治处于风雨飘摇之中。
The 1850s was a time of profound disaster in China. In 1850, Emperor Daoguang, battered by the Opium War launched by British and French imperialism, swallowed his last breath and left a hundred-hole empire empire bound for Xianfeng. In 1851, Emperor Xianfeng just succeeded the throne, and the Jintian Village in Guangxi broke out the peasant uprising of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Since the majority of ordinary people were oppressed and exploited by the decadent rule of the Qing Dynasty’s traitorous country, the uprising quickly became a prairie fire. By early 1853, in less than three years, the insurgents had swept across half of the southern part of Jiangnan and set capital to Nanjing. For a time, the rule of the Qing Dynasty was precarious.
