Features: Discusses Sino-Japanese relations. "Of course, it is permissible to make a break in the narrative. But from a political perspective, such a work has a significant flaw if it does not cover the history from the end of World War II to the present, a span of forty-one years. Especially in the past ten years or so, the restoration and development of friendly relations between China and Japan have brought great benefits to both countries. It is not good if we do not guide researchers and readers to look at this aspect of history." Therefore, both ancient and modern/contemporary history of Sino-Japanese relations must be written. This book was completed under the inspiration of Comrade Hu Yaobang's instructions. The entire work consists of three volumes, covering history from ancient times to the present, and can be considered a comprehensive and systematic general history of Sino-Japanese relations in terms of politics, economy, military, and culture.
