The book adopts an unprecedented way to record history, evaluating every historical event that occurred in the 20th century on a daily basis. It comprehensively covers history, not only focusing on those earth-shattering major historical events and those iconic historical figures but also paying attention to the small incidents that once changed history yet were overlooked, as well as the unassuming individuals who transformed human life without recognition. The book features over 2,000 precious photographs, integrating text and images into an inseparable whole, vividly recreating history through the interplay of visuals and narratives. The unique presentation of the book brings many interesting historical coincidences to light. When we align the same dates from a hundred years ago, we discover countless remarkable coincidences or stark contrasts. As a result, unrelated historical events collide when we look back, and the fortuitous coincidences of history allow us to appreciate the tragedy in the comedy and the comedy in the tragedy of history.
