Features: In the history of over 5,000 years of Chinese civilization, the 20th century was a great era of transformation. The historical events that took place on the Chinese mainland during this period had an unprecedentedly profound impact and tremendous promotion on the course of Chinese history. The history of China in the 20th century is a magnificent epic of earth-shaking turning points. As the primary symbol of this great historical turning point, the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949 stands as a milestone. Before this, it can be roughly said that the first half of the century saw the transition from old democracy to new democracy, a period of striving to establish a people's republic—a time marked by armed struggle as the main means, dedicated to achieving national independence and people's liberation through democratic revolution. In the second half of the century, the transition from new democracy to socialism was a period of striving to build a people's republic, with economic construction as the primary focus, dedicated to making China a prosperous and modern socialist country through socialist construction. The grand historical mission bestowed by the times fell upon the shoulders of hundreds of millions of Chinese people. Whether it was the democratic revolution or the socialist revolution and construction, both were the cause of the broad masses of the people and required the collective wisdom and efforts of all the Chinese people to realize these grand undertakings. It was precisely in this creative historical activity led by the people that a large number of outstanding representatives emerged, reflecting the needs of the masses, embodying their will, and.
Like all eras of major historical transformation, the 20th century in China was a time of great changes and the emergence of outstanding figures. It was the great era that produced a galaxy of historical giants; it was also the era in which the arduous struggles and glorious achievements of these historical giants fully reflected the trends of the times and the aspirations of the people, vividly and profoundly embodying the forward march of the great era. Their life's achievements precisely constitute a microcosm of this unprecedented historical transformation from old China to new China. For this reason, compiling biographies of the outstanding historical figures who founded the People's Republic of China carries a significance far beyond merely recording individual lives. This series of biographies undoubtedly should be regarded as a moving historical scroll, composed of the lifeblood and sweat of millions of patriotic and revolutionary pioneers in contemporary China, a testament to their heroic efforts to save the motherland and revitalize China. It will stand as an eternal revolutionary monument in the hearts of generations of people.
Each biography in the "Biographies of Contemporary Chinese Figures" series can be read as a history of China's salvation, the founding and construction of the People's Republic of China. Each biography can be read as a revolutionary history that ended China's era of suffering and peril, and a foundational and pioneering history of socialist construction.
The first batch of biographies compiled in the "Biographies of Contemporary Chinese Figures" series focuses on the founding heroes of the People's Republic of China and outstanding figures from various fields. The main figures in these biographies will include: the major leaders of the Party and the state (the biographies of Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Liu Shaoqi, Zhu De, Deng Xiaoping, and Chen Yun will be compiled and published by the Documentation and Research Center of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China), eminent marshals of the People's Liberation Army with outstanding achievements, leaders of the various democratic parties who participated in the founding of the new China and renowned patriotic figures from all walks of life, outstanding scientists, writers, and artists, as well as internationalist fighters who made significant contributions to China's democratic revolution and socialist cause, and so on. Without a doubt, they are not only the outstanding representatives of contemporary China but also historical giants whose names will be remembered for all time.
Of course, like all historical figures, the outstanding representatives of our era could not be free from the limitations of historical conditions and were bound to have certain weaknesses and shortcomings, as well as inevitable errors at various points in their lives. However, all of these, like the eclipses of the sun and moon, would do no harm to the brilliance of their image if openly acknowledged. The achievements they created for the Chinese nation, their revolutionary spirit, noble character, outstanding talent, and wise words—all of these have left an indelible mark on history and set an example for future generations. This is a precious spiritual wealth of the Chinese nation, one that is always worth cherishing. It will become an excellent textbook for cultivating the patriotic spirit and socialist belief of generations of Chinese people.
At present, the Chinese people are working hard under the grand design of Comrade Deng Xiaoping and under the leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Jiang Zemin at its core, striving to achieve the second strategic goal of socialist modernization and to reach a moderately prosperous society in this century. May people learn from the glorious achievements of these historical figures in this "Biographies of Contemporary Chinese Figures" series, emulating their revolutionary spirit, patriotic sentiments, and firm socialist belief, and make greater contributions to the historical cause of the Chinese nation.
