Foreword

The book in hand is in many respects unique: It has been written by the students attending a course on Modern Chinese History at Utah Valley University in Fall 2011. Using a Wikipedia writing tool, the students picked historical figures and wrote chapters on them using the I-perspective. Fellow students peer reviewed the articles and helped them to improve. I thank all authors, who made this venture come true: Licia = Qianlong, Alexis = Cixi, Kendra = Kang Youwei, Talya = Liang Qichao, Thomas = Sun Yat-sen, Juan = Mao Zedong, Gavin = Deng Xiaoping, Jessica = Chiang Kai-shek, Trevor = Xi Jinping. The links are their alias used for the summaries of secondary sources. Following the links, you can find a description of the historical figures they chose as their alias. We tried in our class to make history become alive again, applying a learner-centred approach. We hope, the readers enjoy the outcome of this team work.
