Thank you so much for all these recommendations. I will make sure to check out The Last Boat Out of Shanghai as well. After your comment I read up on the author and she sounds very interesting as well.

Hi! I want to learn more about the impact of colonialism on 19th and early 20th century China. Ideally the books would explain in depth events like Opium Wars and Boxer Rebellion. Thanks!

Edit: Thank you for the answers!
