Features: It is this group of people who, with their pens, with their warm, concise, witty, and humorous words, have written one heart-stirring history after another, allowing us to see another vivid landscape and lively face of human history amidst the confines of classic culture. Reading these words becomes a delightful journey for us, a warm visit, and brings history and the present together. From ancient Greece to today, almost all the joys and sorrows of human history are included in our textbooks. However, it must be noted that these historical facts preserved in textbooks are all devoid of warmth, solemnity, and grandeur in their narration, bringing readers a tedious torment, so that people's desire to read is far less firm than their desire to forget. As Braudel said, they form a particularly failed landscape in our pursuit of distant pasts. Fortunately, apart from those who sit among the piles of old paper compiling textbooks, there are still eyewitnesses, targets, and later followers who love history—among whom are scholars, authors, ordinary people; journalists, generals, and soldiers.
