Features: From the perspective of the chronological history of the figures included in the "Great Series of Biographies of Outstanding Chinese in the World," it is evident that it begins with the period of the democratic revolution. During this time, China, with a five-thousand-year civilization, became a semi-colonial and semi-feudal country, plagued by internal and external troubles, impoverished and weak, at the mercy of others, with the people suffering greatly, and class and national contradictions extremely sharp and intense. However, the revolutionaries, led by Sun Yat-sen, launched the Xinhai Revolution, which sounded the death knell for the Qing Dynasty. Especially, the New Democratic Revolution led by the working class through its party, the Communist Party of China, united the people of all ethnic groups in the country, forming a broad united front that included overseas Chinese sons and daughters. They inherited and carried forward the great spirit of the Chinese nation—united, patriotic, self-reliant, fearless of oppression, and undaunted by sacrifice. Through long-term, arduous, and extraordinary struggles, they achieved victory in the New Democratic Revolution. "The Great Series of Biographies of Outstanding Chinese in the World" aims to gather together the outstanding overseas Chinese, returned overseas Chinese, and descendants of the Chinese nation who have made extraordinary achievements for humanity and their motherland, publishing them in volumes to form a magnificent and resounding chapter, thereby inspiring the present generation and enlightening the future.
