A Sudden Look Back accuses the Western powers of invading China, states to the Chinese people the crisis facing China, points out that the Qing government has become the "royal court of the foreigners".[10] It further criticizes the rescue of the emperor to establish a constitution, propagates the anti-imperialist and anti-Manchu revolution, and establishes a democratic republican system.[11]
