Features: This book is richly illustrated with images, predominantly visual, where pictures complement and enhance each other. By looking at pictures, we can see society, see China, compare the progress of China's century-old society through images, and compare the development of a hundred years of China through pictures. We can see the past poverty and backwardness, and witness today's development and progress. It is a highly recommended popular read. Hereby, I write this preface. This book introduces the evolution of entertainment methods in China. It includes 7 topics: the elegance and desire of traditional entertainment, the influence of foreign entertainment, leisure activities during the Republic of China era, the joys of revolutionary times, the rekindling of passion in the early days of reform and opening up, the exuberance of the turn of the century, and the refined life.
