Features: This revision maintains the original comprehensive history format while making significant additions and adjustments to the original book's perspectives, content, chapter layout, content selection, and asset screening. The specifics are as follows:
1. "National History" is a part of the comprehensive history, and the chapter titles of each chapter have been uniformly integrated in terms of format to further highlight the characteristics of the comprehensive history. In terms of content, the latest research findings of the current academic community have been supplemented, while some irrelevant content has been removed to stay within the original manuscript's total word count.
2. A new chapter has been added, transforming the original five-chapter structure into the current six-chapter format, and the lower time limit has been extended from the original 1992 to 2004.
3. Content related to Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau has been added, with each chapter featuring a dedicated section.
4. Some viewpoints and expressions in the original manuscript have been further refined to ensure appropriate wording and avoid arbitrary praise or criticism, while the text has also been polished.
5. All non-standard annotations in the original manuscript have been corrected according to the State Standard of the People's Republic of China GB7714-87 "Rules for Citing References After the Text," and a reference list has been appended. Additionally, 50 new images have been inserted.
