Features: Historically, history has been recorded in text, but the history of the 20th century was recorded through lenses. In any aspect, it is a true history. Because in this century, human visual technology has reached an unprecedented level, and the 20th century is the closest century to us, the closest period in history, so we can still feel its pulse and sense its warmth. We should thank those countless photographic pioneers for their creative work, including their legendary experiences of life and death, which recorded countless precious moments of the past century for us, showcasing a century of intense and profound political changes in human society, a century of rapid development and great achievements in science and culture, a century that made outstanding contributions to ancient human civilization, a century that outlined an exciting outline for the future, a century that bridges the past and the future, and a unique and unparalleled century. The 20th century experienced numerous struggles between war and peace, accompanied by the relentless pursuit of independence and development by nations around the world. The politics, military, science, and culture of the entire century developed around this main theme. Reviewing the history of the last century has a great enlightening effect on understanding the laws of social evolution and looking ahead to future development directions. This film is on a grand scale, consisting of 36 parts and 89 episodes, with a total length of 2000 minutes. It includes all major events that occurred in countries around the world from 1900 to 2000, carefully selected to achieve an organic unity between the completeness of history and the impact of the visuals, making it extremely powerful. This film is divided into four sections: War Chronicle: From the World War I that broke out at the beginning of the century to the World War II that influenced the development of the world, and the subsequent regional wars after World War II—such as the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Middle East War, the Gulf War, the Kosovo War, etc.—it provides a panoramic view of the history of war in the 20th century. Political Turmoil: From the victory of the Russian "October Revolution" and the rise of the women's liberation movement, to the Asian and African national liberation movements, the Cuban Revolution, the Cold War era, and the changes in Eastern Europe, until the 2000 U.S. presidential election, the film vividly recounts the dramatic events on the world political stage in the 20th century. Scientific Exploration: In the 20th century, humans achieved remarkable successes in scientific exploration: Einstein established the theory of relativity to explain space and time; the Soviet Union launched artificial satellites; Americans landed on the moon. From the nuclear age, the space age, and the realization of genetic-level engineering to the information age and the vast world of the internet, human technological achievements are outstanding. Cultural Light: The art of film was born in the 20th century, with pioneers emerging in countries like India, the United States, and Sweden. The 1912 Olympic emblem made its debut for the first time, with a significant increase in women's events. In 1960, the British Francis Chichester successfully crossed the Atlantic Ocean in a sailboat, marking the beginning of long-distance sailboat navigation.
