序言

In recent years, China's reform and opening-up movement, as well as her rapid development, have drawn increasing attention from foreign coun- tries anxious for an insight into what has always been a mysterious land for them. At the same time, China needs to open up to the international commu- nity as much as possible, so as to integrate herself smoothly with the rest of the world. However, rarely do we see books on China's evolution by local authors becoming popular with foreign readers, and there are even fewer widely-read books that cover Chinese history, culture, current situation and challenges. This is why I readily agreed when Mrs Zhang Haiou, deputy chief editor of New World Press, asked me to compile a book about Chinese history. I knew I would meet many challenges, but it would be worthwhile. The idea for this book came from Mr Lin Liangqi, former deputy chief editor of China International Publishing Group. He has worked on media and cultural exchanges between China and the outside world, and is well experienced in this field.
