Features: This book can be considered an ideal extracurricular reading companion for adolescents. It records the growth stories of 200 representative heroes from ancient and modern times, both East and West, allowing you not only to know the heroes as individuals but also to understand their deeds! Throughout history, heroes have always been active at the pinnacle of the times. What makes them heroes stems from their extraordinary personalities, superhuman wisdom, and keen insight. They represent the deep desires and external aspirations of their respective eras and nations. "How can the sparrow know the ambitions of the swan?" By counting the growth stories of these heroes, we also discover that heroes typically possess a strong initiative and refuse to live a mediocre life. Their strange behaviors and bizarre statements are constantly mocked and slandered by the mediocre, but history will prove them to be pioneers. Heroes discern the opportunities of historical turning points and plan the direction of historical progress; following the call of their hearts, they pursue noble ideals, remain steadfast, and face death without fear. Heroes cannot be perfect individuals; the modernization of the Russian Empire is inseparable from Peter the Great's expansion and cruel exploitation. Heroes do not necessarily win, and Tan Sitong, in order to achieve the Hundred Days' Reform, concealed his male pride and arrogance, yet his eventual death could not stop more people from bleeding in the future. However, none of this diminishes the greatness of heroes. Guan Yu attended the meeting with a single sword, and with a single disdainful glance under the gaze of the officials of Eastern Wu and hidden troops, he could make the entire elite group bow their heads in shame. Bruno was burned at the stake, condemned to death by religious judgment but immortalized by truth; the times could not understand him, but that did not prevent him from becoming a hero of his era. When the masses are weak, he is brave; when the masses are hesitant, he is firm; when the masses betray, he is loyal; when the masses yield, he resists. This is what heroes are. Regardless of success or failure, without regard for nationality, this book tells the stories of one hundred historical heroes from ancient and modern times, completely arranged by birth year. Here, we can gain much insight: the similar struggles of people worldwide in the same period, the diverse beliefs of heroes in the same era. Heroes are the hardest diamonds in the world; the sands of history cannot bury their brilliance, and the venom of the secular world cannot dissolve their iron will!
