Give two examples of euphemisms in From Emperor to Citizen and explain what each refers to.

One example of a euphemism in From Emperor to Citizen is "the wind of freedom blowing from the West," which refers to the spread of democratic ideals and values from Western countries. Another example is "the new era of enlightenment," which refers to the shift towards progress and modernization in China after the fall of the Qing dynasty. Both of these euphemisms soften the potentially negative connotations associated with these concepts and present them in a more positive light.
