Winner of the 2012 Cundill Prize in HistoryA gripping account of China's nineteenth-century Taiping Rebellion, one of the largest civil wars in history. Autumn in the Heavenly Kingdom brims with unforgettable characters and vivid re-creations of massive and often gruesome battles--a sweeping yet intimate portrait of the conflict that shaped the fate of modern China. The story begins in the early 1850s, the waning years of the Qing dynasty, when word spread of a major revolution brewing in the provinces, led by a failed civil servant who claimed to be the son of God and brother of Jesus. The Taiping rebels drew their power from the poor and the disenfranchised, unleashing the ethnic rage of millions of Chinese against their Manchu rulers. This homegrown movement seemed all but unstoppable until Britain and the United States stepped in and threw their support behind the Manchus: after years of massive carnage, all opposition to Qing rule was effectively snuffed out for generations. Stephen R. Platt recounts these events in spellbinding detail, building his story on two fascinating characters with opposing visions for China's future: the conservative Confucian scholar Zeng Guofan, an accidental general who emerged as the most influential military strategist in China's modern history; and Hong Rengan, a brilliant Taiping leader whose grand vision of building a modern, industrial, and pro-Western Chinese state ended in tragic failure. This is an essential and enthralling history of the rise and fall of the movement that, a century and a half ago, might have launched China on an entirely different path into the modern world.

Fits perfectly
Size: 32mm, Color: Green
Works exactly as expected. Fits the 32mm oil filter housing perfectly and makes removal quick without slipping or rounding. Feels solid and well-made for the price. Used it for an oil change and it saved a lot of time compared to a strap wrench. Simple, effective tool—glad I bought it.

Perfect Fit 28mm Fuel Filter Socket
Size: 28mm, Color: Red
I bought the Felisbieti 28mm fuel filter socket for a vehicle maintenance project, and it worked perfectly. The fit is precise, gripping the fuel filter securely without slipping or rounding edges.
The build feels sturdy and durable, with a solid metal finish that stands up to repeated use. It fits snugly on my ratchet and made removing and installing the filter much easier and faster than using adjustable tools.
The only minor thing to note is that it’s specific to 28mm filters, so make sure it matches your vehicle. Overall, this socket is well-made, reliable, and a must-have for anyone doing DIY fuel filter work.

Perfect socket for the job
Size: 24mm, Color: Green, Size: 24mm, Color: Green
I purchased this 24mm socket specificaly to remove the oil filter housing on my Ram Promaster 2500 truck.
Since there is limited space to get a standard socket in this area, this low profile socket was able to do the job without requiring me to loosen and push aside other components.
I like that this socket is light weight, made of aluminum with large easy to read size eched into the body. the oil filter housing is made of plastic and does not require a beefy heavy steel socket. The walls on this socket are plenty thick as to cause me no concern about durability.
To me, the green color is a nice touch as will be easy to spot in my socket set for the oil changes.
