As the imperial palace of the Ming and Qing dynasties, how did the Forbidden City evolve into the museum it is today? In the process of evolution, who is planning for its future and trying every means to preserve its cultural relics, treasures and historical relics? In that turbulent era, what history did it and its successive leaders experience and witness? This is exactly the question Zhang Hongwei, the author of this book, wants to answer. From October 23, 1924, when Feng Yuxiang launched a coup in Beijing to expel Puyi from the palace, and October 10, 1925, when the Palace Museum was established, to 1949, the precarious Forbidden City witnessed the wisdom and courage of its seven leaders, Li Yuying, Zhuang Yunkuan, Zhao Erxun, Jiang Han, Wang Shizhen, Yi Peiji, and Ma Heng. Amid the great changes in cultural politics, they and thousands of people of insight have built an impenetrable line of defense to protect the Forbidden City and China's precious cultural heritage. This book is equipped with more than 100 important and rare historical pictures, and the "Picture Description" section at the end of the book is equipped with more than 30 color pictures, presenting the splendid and long historical and cultural implications of the Forbidden City.

From September 1, 1939 to September 2, 1945, the fascist axis of Germany, Italy, Japan, Bulgaria, Hungary, Romania and other countries on one side, and the Allied Powers with the world's anti-fascist forces on the other side, launched the second largest-scale war, historically known as World War II, referred to as "World War II". When the war was intense, 61 countries and regions participated in the war; more than 2 billion people were involved in the war; the war spread across Europe, Asia, South America, North America, Africa and Oceania; the battle lines spread across the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian and Arctic Oceans; about 90 million people died; about 4 trillion U. S. Dollars in monetary losses; a large number of houses were damaged, and the damage to factories, farms, railways and bridges was difficult to estimate. The fascist movement has seriously trampled on human dignity, freedom and peace, and is a rare catastrophe encountered in human history. Some histories are just pastimes for after-dinner entertainment, but World War II, in which blood and fire intertwined, can touch the heartstrings of mankind more deeply.
