As a Chinese, it is best to know something about China's history, at least to know the context of its evolution.
China has a long history, which is too thick for experts to write and too tiring for ordinary people to read.
Understanding the outline of history cannot be regarded as knowledge, it can only be regarded as knowing. For ordinary people, knowing is enough.
"Super Simplified History of China" cuts out the complicated and simplifies it, just know it and don't get tired. There is a personal perspective in it, such as "King Zhou You laughed at the beacon fire and played with the princes for the Beauties" is unreliable, and "Liu Bang directly asked for thousands of dollars to bring Lu Fei to the banquet" is unreliable, and also for example, Xiang Yu did not kill Liu Bang at the "Hongmen Banquet" because the biggest beneficiary was Xiang Yu and not Liu Bang."
All these kinds of things.
Open to discussion.

Highly readable, the language is interesting, and the boring historical story is interesting.
