The statement that China is passing through an unprecedent-edrevolution has almost become a platitude， but its very obviousnessin no way diminishes its truth. The changes which this huge andvenerable country experienced in the past are negligible whencompared with the developments of the last decade. The reason forthis difference in degree-which amounts to a qualitative change-isthat developments in the past hardly influenced fundamentals, ifthey ever did so at all, whereas the present transformation deeplyaffects them. It is even consciously aimed at changing the socialstructure and all that this entails.

The ascent of China's economy over the past thirty years may be one of the moreremarkable happenings in human history. Few understand it. Those outside Chinaconsider the massive changes a mystery. Those inside China have been challengedwith taking more than 1.3 billion people from an agrarian existence into the modernworld, and in the face of complex economics involving extreme conflicts of interest.Nobody ever did it before; nobody will ever do it again. Given the convulsive upheavalsrequired, the difficulty of the task has been, and remains, hard to imagine.This book describes those upheavals and that process over the years from 1978 to2008.

China cannot separate herself from the world community in her development, nor can the world segregate China for its stability and prosperity. We do welcome teachers with "China dreams" come to us from all parts of the world, and, with joint efforts, we all can realize "One dream."It took Leslie Jeanneret, a specialist in education, half a century to get her China dream realized; it was 11 years before Prof. Ruth Hayhoe, a well-known educator who began her teaching career in Hong Kong in 1967, set her foot on mainland China in 1978; And, Elissa McRae, who had never thought she would go to China, realized her dream to teach in a Chinese classroom within 6 months... Today, the way to the realization of dream is no more that long. We sincerely wish all the foreign teachers get dreams realized in a quicker, nicer and better way!
China won its first Olympic gold medal at the 23rd Olympic Games in Los Angeles in 1984, which ushered in a new era in Chinese Olympic history. Since then, Chinese athletes have broken and improved world records one after the other, and gradually established China's image as a major sports power. At the same time, the Chinese traditional folk sports have also been protected and developed. The national fitness campaign started in 1995 sparked a new nationwide upsurge of enthusiasm about participating in sports activities. The 29th Olympic Games will be held in Beijing in 2008, and the Olympic flame will be burned in this ancient but energetic country. All the people of China are working together diligently so that China can hold a grand gathering for the people of the world in order to share "One World, One Dream!"

Huang Hua just celebrated his 96th birthday. A graduate of Yenching University, he is a typical Chinese progressive intellectual of his time. In old China the suffering of the common people and the pressing danger of losing the sovereignty of the entire nation led Huang Hua and millions of young people to join the struggle for China’s liberation. Huang Hua’s memoir is a book describing his more than 70 years of activities as a revolutionary and a diplomat. It reflects also many significant aspects of China’s modern political history. In his posts as ambassador and foreign minister he witnessed a great range of events in international relations and participated in the realization of the foreign policy of New China. As to the book’s style of writing, it is just like the character of the author-clear and straightforward, so it is easy to read and comprehend.
The complexion of the empresses attending to state affairs was fairly complicated. Some had to represent their sons because the emperor was really too young to rule a dynasty; some, due to their ambition for monopolizing power, deliberately supported and enthroned a young emperor who could be easily controlled by them after their husbands died, thus to gain the real power of the court. Some empresses even disenthroned the crown prince designated by their husbands after his death or had the new emperor killed to gain control of the state for themselves. Some regent empresses certainly played an important role in stabilizing the dynasty; but others, however, brought a lot of troubles and crises to the dynasty due to their high ambition and low quality.
