Seventy years ago, Zhoukoudian in China was just an unremarkable small village 50 kilometers southwest of Beijing. Yet, it suddenly made headlines around the world overnight. Since then, scientists from all over the world have come to Zhoukoudian with a sense of pilgrimage, which is truly a remarkable phenomenon. The emergence of "Peking Man" forced a rewrite of the history of human civilization. However, it mysteriously disappeared just 12 years after its discovery, becoming another shocking news that stunned the world. With the ongoing and deepening search efforts, this event has remained hot and shows no signs of cooling down.
From the initial excavation of Zhoukoudian in 1927 to today's maintenance, protection, and research of the Beijing Ape Man Site, it has always been shrouded in the shadow of "economic crises." When will the bitter hope of waiting no longer be bitter?
