Jung Chang
“In 1957, the then-emperor, Qianlong, who ruled China for sixty years (1736-95) and is often referred to as 'Qianlong the Magnificent' for his achievements, closed the door of the country, leaving only one port open for trade, Canton.”
Jung Chang, Empress Dowager Cixi: The Concubine Who Launched Modern China
