Therefore, even ordinary outsiders like us will see a lot of problems at a glance.

What are they looking for, so much so that they pay a heavy price? For us, this is a real problem. In the process of learning about it, we have become increasingly interested in this strange country with a short history.

No matter how hard the shell seems to be, its people are all ordinary, and no matter how big it is, they are just these ordinary people.

Persia, the center of the ancient world, a powerful empire that stood side by side with the Qin and Han Dynasties, was a key hub for exchanges between China and the West. Following "Our China", Professor Li Ling examines ancient Central Asia and world history from "our" perspective, and reproduces the afterglow of Persia with wonderful pictures and texts. The Persian Empire had three major characteristics: first, it was large, including not only all the countries in the Middle and Near East, but also most countries in the southern section of the Silk Road; second, it was unified, similar to the Qin and Han Empires, it was also a large regional country that was "unified by car and book"; third, it had a very close relationship with China, and all precious commodities, animals and plants, and Chinese foreign religions were intermediary with Persia. This book organizes the history of the Persian Empire in a systematic and detailed manner, and comprehensively compares all aspects of ancient China and the Persian Empire. It is divided into two parts. The ten chapters of the first part are "History-Geography", which is about the politics, territory, system, and religion of the Persian Empire. The ten chapters of the second part are "Archaeology-Art", which introduce palaces, stone carvings, artworks, and museum artifacts. This book opens a new perspective on contemporary China for us to look at the civilization process of Eurasia over the past two thousand years.

Through a series of stories before and after the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia in 1787, this article sorts out the basic process of the development of the American constitutional democratic system from its source to its relative maturity, as well as its implementation. Following the process of the Constitutional Convention, the author narrates step by step and introduces his thoughts on the ideological soil, historical opportunities, and basic concepts of the system design in the U. S. Constitution. He describes the political wisdom that early American thinkers and politicians showed in confrontation and compromise by following the rules of the game when facing various ideological viewpoints. He also analyzes the worrying issues and historical limitations of the U. S. Constitutional system. Secondly, during the anti-Vietnam War movement in the United States in the 1960s, the New York Times, the Washington Post and other media outlets relied on their constitutional power to compete with the then-U. S. Government administration in the disclosure of the so-called "Secret Pentagon Documents." This highlighted the operating mechanism of American democracy and also touched upon the plight of the system in new crises.

The trial of Queen Marie-Antoinette is one of the darkest mysteries in the history of the French Revolution. Has she ever participated in political decisions that harmed the interests of the French people? When the Republic was founded (September 21, 1792) and King Louis XVI was executed (January 21, 1793), did she pose any threat to the new regime in prison? Did her trial really come from public opinion? Did anyone ever try to help her escape? By carefully examining every minute and second of the trial on October 14, 15, and 16, 1793, checking the personal biographies of the jury members for the first time, and reconstructing the political environment of the "Reign of Terror" at that time, the famous historian Emmanuel de Valéquière retells the tragic and heavy three days in this book in an emotional yet objective and neutral tone. "The Trial of the Queen: October 14-16, 1793" discloses the insulting questions in the court and the decent answers in the face of malicious slander, which further proves that Marie-Antoinette's fate was already determined before the trial. She did not enjoy the real right to defense and was just a political victim of the wrestling between the National Convention, the Paris Commune and the Jacobins.
