I highly recommend this book as a collectible.
Selected as an excellent book for the 2020 Sejong Book Awards by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, I would recommend this book if I had to choose just one to read for those beginning to study China. I pay tribute to the author's skill in enabling readers to grasp the grand narrative of the Five Thousand Years of Chinese History in a single reading, through a concise writing style and abundant photographic materials.
It contains numerous photographs and timelines, making it excellent for understanding the vast history of China. The explanations of the rise and fall and major events leading to the formation of modern-day China are very well done. I recommend it as required reading for high school or as a primary textbook for university.

Comprising 15 chapters, this book explains the political flow from ancient Chinese civilization to modern trends while also introducing the society and culture of the time, making it suitable as a textbook for Chinese history and Chinese studies.
