There are many things in history that may not be of the same era in our eyes, but they happened at the same time. For example, the New York Stock Exchange was established in the fifteenth year of Qianlong; Coca-Cola was established in the thirteenth year of Guangxu; even when Einstein published the special theory of relativity, our country abolished the imperial examination system.
In fact, it’s not just the comparison between our country and other countries that seems strange, there are also some weird things happening around the world. The mammoths in the Ice Age can be said to be very old. However, the Egyptians built the pyramids while the mammoths were still alive. This seems to be a fantasy, but it is true.
The national economic crisis broke out in 1929. At the same time, the Soviet Union was carrying out the First Five-Year Plan and began to build a strong industrial country. There were two inventors at the same time. The year Edison invented the electric light, Einstein was born. It sounds like they are not from the same era, but they happened at the same time. This is the charm of history.
In fact, the contrast is more stark in our country. In 1799, Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty passed away, and President Washington of the United States also passed away at the same time. Including the well-known "Tom and Jerry", which was broadcast in 1940, when we were actively fighting the war. The reason why everyone is so surprised when it comes to our country's time node is that we know too little about other histories, and our country was in dire straits at that time and was unable to explore outside.
So when we learn more about history, we will discover the wonders of the world. It sounds like people or things from two eras cleverly appeared at the same time. Isn't this the charm of history?
