Towards The Republic a.k.a. For The Sake Of The Republic (original title 走�共和) is a historical Chinese TV series that first played on CCTV-1 in 2003. It is a somewhat dramatized depiction of the political events in China between 1890 and 1917, a period during which the Qing Dynasty collapsed and was replaced by a Republican regime.The focus of the series is on the key political actors of the period, namely Dowager Empress Cixi, the Guangxu Emperor, Li Hongzhang, Yuan Shikai, Kang Youwei, Liang Qichao, and last but not least Sun Yat-sen. Surprisingly, Cixi and Yuan, which in official Chinese historiography tend to be dismissed as self-interested and corrupt, are portrayed in a fairly positive manner.A detailed synopsis of the episodes can be found here. | |

| Towards The Republic / int_2cf282ea | comment |
She Is All Grown Up: When Sun Yat-sen first meets Song Qingling, she's a little girl. When he sees her again years later, she's turned into a nubile young woman with a definite crush on him. | |

The Drag-Along | |
| Towards The Republic / int_3166227d | comment |
The Drag-Along: Li Yuanhong. He only accepted the leadership of the revolutionary armies in 1911 because he had no other choice. His own soldiers had to drag him out from under his concubine's bed where he was hiding. | |

Important Haircut | |
| Towards The Republic / int_4655ec83 | comment |
Important Haircut: When Sun Yat-sen, in a fictional scene, cuts off his braid and dramatically throws it in the air to symbolize his rejection of the Qing Dynasty (all Chinese men were required by law to wear the braid as a sign of allegiance to the dynasty). | |

Fashions Never Change | |
| Towards The Republic / int_c66b3e9c | comment |
Fashions Never Change: Averted. Between the beginning and end of the series, fashion visibly evolves, and men who in 1890 wore traditional Chinese clothing have generally adopted Western dress by 1917. | |

Artistic License – Ships | |
| Towards The Republic / int_e652089c | comment |
Artistic License – Ships: Both the Japanese and Chinese ships during the First Sino-Japanese War are too advanced for the era, presumably because no lifesize models of period-appropriate ships were available, and the production made do with more recent vessels. | |
