The image is a text-based slide with a title that reads "Section 1: Early attempts to find a way out for the country". The slide is divided into two sections. The top section is titled "Faced with national crises and social conflicts of an unprecedented severity, all strata of Chinese society began to look for a way for the people and the country. The peasant class launched armed struggles to overthrow the feudal rulers and foreign invaders; the feudal ruling class tried to consolidate their rule by making limited changes, and the bourgeoisie sought to strengthen the country through political reform. All these efforts had positive effects to varying degrees, but none of them succeeded due to historical and class limitations."

The slide is written in black text on a beige background. The text is in a serif font and is centered on the slide.
