Towards the Republic, also known as For the Sake of the Republic and Zou Xiang Gong He, is a Chinese historical television series first broadcast on CCTV in China from April to May 2003. The series is based on events that occurred in China between the late 19th century and early 20th century that led to the collapse of the Qing Dynasty and the founding of the Republic of China. Owing to its portrayal of historical issues deemed politically sensitive by the Chinese government, the series has been subject to censorship in mainland China.

The film mainly focuses on events such as entering Beijing, peace talks, crossing the river, economic construction, preparing for the CPPCC, and convening the CPPCC. After the peaceful liberation of Peiping in 1949, Chairman Mao led the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China to settle in Xiangshan from Xibaipo to "go to Beijing to take the test".
