I selected 81 important figures in Chinese history. While reviewing these historical figures, I also set my sights on other parts of the world at the same time as them, exploring those figures and events that left a profound historical mark. These 81 figures are like a string of bright pearls, clearly outlining the vertical coordinate of the development of Chinese civilization from prehistoric times to the 20th century. When they stand side by side with key figures in other contemporary world civilizations, a three-dimensional picture of the brief history of world civilization slowly unfolds, leading us to appreciate the diversity and magnificence of the development of human civilization.
