Features: The action began in the autumn of 2000. After visiting for several months, nearly a hundred stories of youth from different eras and characters were collected. After screening and merging, about sixty stories were included in this book. Tracing history is not an easy task, and it is difficult to achieve depth, breadth, and completeness. But it is believed that even if this "centennial track" only faintly emerges, it will be beneficial to reflecting on the youth behavior of today's youth. This book is divided into two parts, Part A and Part B. Each part includes five to six sets of grandparent and grandchild series. The transitions between each set are carried out by several "semi-fictional characters" to ensure smooth reading. To avoid unnecessary troubles, the real names and addresses of the characters in the text were omitted when the book was published, but the stories themselves are not fictional. A hundred years of romance and turmoil, a hundred years of separation and ups and downs, that century long buried in the memories of many Chinese people, could not drift away like the wind. The living and the dead, the noisy and the silent, the passionate and the indifferent, repeatedly, like the hands of a clock, rotate in the singing of history. Like the sound of a bell, lingering in the hearts of unknown people. Brushing away some dust. Those yellowed old photographs. Interrupted long and short sentences. New words and old tunes, witnessed moments shorter than a hundred years. Or some glimpse of humanity, as well as the glory and sorrow of history. What kind of century was that?
