Xu Zhuoyun Talks About History: the Success and Failure of Modern Civilization

After reading it twice, Xu Lao's life experience is itself a piece of history. The centenarian who is a historian is more like an expectation for the future. Everything will prosper and decline. Western civilization has reached an unprecedented "prosperity", which has brought unprecedented challenges to the natural world and human beings. It is more severe than any period in history. Perhaps the answer to integration can be found in our thousands of years of peaceful inheritance and continuity.

This book gave me a deeper understanding of history. It turns out that the development process of modern civilization is so tortuous! I like the part about the Industrial Revolution in the book. It reminds me of my uncle, who turned from a small worker to a factory director through hard work and innovation. History is really full of miracles!

What a great book! It is worth reading more, it helps us understand the historical development of the world and China, the rise and fall of earth civilization, and inspires people's thinking. The author is a responsible scholar, and reading his book is a rewarding experience.
