Neli Akhobadze, a Georgian student from Zhejiang University, is studying "Modern and Contemporary Chinese History", referring to the period from 1840-1949, during which time the Chinese people suffered from hunger and poverty and the nation from backwardness and subjugation.

What was China like 100 years ago? How did the Chinese save their country? When did the major turning point occur? With these questions in mind, Neli visited Jiaxing, a city that occupies an important position in Chinese history.
