On the European continent, there has long been a confrontational relationship between France and Germany. Russia was growing in power, the Ottoman Empire was on the verge of disintegration, and the world outside of Europe seemed to be falling apart. Although Berlin was called the Athens of the world at that time, Germany was panicked by Russia's rapid development. Germany, which competed with Britain for global supremacy, established a completely unnecessary navy in the early 20th century that was directed at British ports. It was in this relationship between countries that the Sarajevo incident started the First World War. Europe in 1914 was like a colossus that everyone admired. Four years later, the continent faced catastrophic fragmentation from economy to society, from life to dreams. In this book, "A Brief History of World War I: The Illusion of Empire," Norman Stone changed the historical professional writing method that was mainly based on analysis to narrative. With novel and unique insights, he concisely and clearly outlines "World War I", the most important and complex topic of the twentieth century.

After returning from Europe in the autumn of 1929, Chen Guangfu seldom saw those powerful military and political officials in his diary. He is a rigorous person who understands that a person's history is written by his deeds during his lifetime and shaped by his words. Therefore, no matter how busy he is, whenever he is quiet at night, he will always record what he has experienced, encountered, and thought during the day. Some of these diaries were written in bound books, and some were scrawled on bank letterheads. When your mood is calm, use a calligraphy pen; when you have many things to worry about, use a fountain pen to scribble them down. But what was different from before 1928 was that after that, although his diary contained less about the overall situation of the world, there were more daily records of social interactions, reading, business affairs, and self-cultivation. He seems to be deliberately trying to drive out all the big guys like politicians and generals from his world, and just focus on building his financial kingdom.
