and then an analysis of Schoppas work. Summary In Schoppas book he begins by offering the reader a look at the time of Shens death. The first chapter
presents the reader with the chaotic end to the life of Shen. From there the work goes back in time, to 1916, when much of Shens involvement, and the revolution,
began. We see Shen and his family traditions and we see how, in the early years, he saw that it was necessary to break from tradition, or a "Breaking out
