Dear readers, when you open this book, you will happily discover that the 100 historical and modern figures from China and abroad will one by one tell you about the interesting stories from their childhood. Although these figures lived in different eras, countries, occupations, genders, and ages, their stories share a common point—they all focus on the concept of "wise and responsible." To make it easier for kids to browse and remember, the content of this book is arranged in the order of the pinyin syllables of the names of the 100 figures. If the names have the same number of characters, they are arranged in chronological order. In Chinese culture, family names come first, followed by given names, while in Western cultures, especially in Europe and America, given names come first, followed by family names, separated by a middle dot (·). When referring to a famous figure alone, to show respect, only their family name is used. For the sake of uniformity in the arrangement, the same method mentioned earlier is adopted for all names.
It should be noted that the introduction for each figure generally includes three parts: first, a brief description of the figure's nationality, era, family background, achievements, and influence; second, a telling of the figure's interesting childhood story, which, though not long, is definitely very engaging and the main content of the book; third, the editor has added some "insights" related to the story to help readers understand the meaning and lessons behind this short story.
