Features: This book is the third issue of New Social History. The articles in this issue cover a wide range of topics. We can observe daily life and social conflicts, as well as the physical and health issues people face in their daily lives. We can also see people's understandings of race, eugenics, and remarriage. These understandings are always intertwined with politics. From this, we see that no matter how specific the research on daily life or the living body may be, it inevitably enters into discussions about national and local politics. In these new studies, we can also sense that the same history can be interpreted differently depending on different historical perspectives, historical environments, and historical purposes. History is often reinterpreted and understood in people's memories, in the soil of social history, across different times and spaces. Therefore, any attempt to find a standard answer to history may be futile.
