Briefly describe the main factors (senior one history) that led to great changes in the life style and ideas of the people in modern China.

Mainly from the Westernization Movement after the Opium War, the new culture aroused democracy and liberated women's thoughts until 1949 New China was founded. During this period, China entered a semi-colonial and semi-feudal historical track, and it was also a transitional period for China people to enter a new modernization thought, gradually diluting China's traditional feudal thought with western thoughts. There are three main points as follows: first, modern China was forcibly pushed into the wave of western modernization by western imperialist powers, and western affairs, systems and ideas flooded into China; Second, since the Westernization Movement, China's economic modernization and industrialization will change the social outlook. Thirdly, the Reform Movement promoted the changes of social and political system, at least China's feudal rule was loosened, and the change of political system played an important role in promoting the Revolution of 1911. Fourth, the influx of modern western ideological and cultural trends has brought about changes in people's ideas, which will inevitably bring about changes in social life and customs.
