[Peace-discuss] Hello how ah ya.

[E.Wayne Johnson]

I have been reading the "History of the Insurrection in China" written in 
1854 which is about the early years of the Tai Ping Tian Guo.  It's pretty 
interesting.  Although the French romanization of the Chinese is a bit 
strange and inconsistent, I can figure out what they mean by the names and 
places and know some of those places.

The Tai Ping Kingdom was successful against the degenerating Qing Dynasty 
and took over most of south China before being crushed by the British army 
in the 1860's.

Sun Yat-Sen was heavily influenced by one of the surviving old Tai Ping-ers.
