With a unique dual-perspective narrative, the Chinese civilization and the Western world at the same time are placed in the same historical section. Through the intertwined destinies of a hundred pairs of little people, this book not only presents the spread of technology, the evolution of ideas, and the rise of institutions, but also profoundly reveals the different choices made by Eastern and Western civilizations in response to similar challenges, as well as the eternal echoes aroused in the collision. This is an epic about how humans shaped empires, beliefs, and the modern world.
