A vast land 32 times larger than Taiwan, a country that was once the richest and most powerful in Asia, a paradise built on the ideals of many, and a history that has been deliberately buried and misinterpreted.

This book, with its unprecedented grand scale, 240 rare images never seen before, and a Manchu perspective unheard of, provides a comprehensive overview of the past and present of the Great Manchukuo Empire. The construction and achievements of Manchuria are enough to subvert readers' perceptions and exceed their imaginations. It's no wonder that Let's go to Manchuria was a popular saying among Taiwanese intellectuals in 1935!

A nearly forgotten nation, a shining star that once hung brilliantly in Northeast Asia. The Great Manchukuo Empire carried the glory of centuries of ancestors, harbored the grievances of a fallen dynasty, and harbored the ambition to rebuild its prestige, aiming to become a peaceful paradise in a chaotic world. Its achievements in fourteen years were rapid, but they also exposed a sense of weakness due to its reliance on others, making its history as beautiful and short as a shooting star. A Pictorial History of the Great Manchukuo Empire uses images to guide the text and is the only pictorial book on Manchu history to date. This book collects hundreds of precious images and tells you the story of this familiar yet extremely unfamiliar country from a historical perspective you have never heard before.
