Features: Historians of world history must work hard to create popular reading materials that are both accessible and engaging, in order to attract the interest of the general public. Through their own learning and practical experience, people should come to recognize the importance of world history knowledge for modern citizens. Of course, writing popular reading materials that are both scientifically accurate and readable is not something every professional can achieve. A country in the process of modernization undoubtedly needs popular world history materials. There are many ways to popularize world history knowledge—readers need works on general history, specialized history, regional history, and national history. However, recent practices have shown that the public is more interested in biographies of representative figures from various aspects of history. Therefore, our efforts to popularize world history knowledge should start with this approach and deepen the work from this perspective. In selecting the 100 world historical figures for this series of "Top Ten Series from China and Abroad," we have tried to consider the characters readers might want to know, but we have also given more weight to the characters readers should know. The reason we value this is because China is increasingly becoming an integral part of world culture, and 21st-century Chinese citizens must have a strong sense of global awareness.
