This book #TheStoryOfHumankind was created with one hope:
that we may learn to work together to build a kinder, brighter future.
We first need to share a vision of where we hope to go.
When we look across the whole journey of humankind, we may remember: we are companions on the same Earth.

[EN][#TheStoryOfHumankind] 165. The Tiananmen Square Crackdown — When Calls for Freedom Were Suppressed by Force
Date: April 1989 to June 4, 1989
In 1989, students and citizens in China gathered peacefully for a freer and fairer society. They hoped to correct corruption and speak openly, but their voices were ultimately suppressed by military force. Wealth and development do not necessarily mean freedom of expression.
Painful events may later be made difficult to discuss or pushed into forgetting. The crackdown reminds us to seek facts, notice what cannot be said, and protect the freedoms to speak and assemble peacefully.

[EN][#TheStoryOfHumankind] 166. Invention / Discovery: Laparoscopic Surgery
Date: The 1980s to 1990s
Laparoscopic surgery uses instruments and a camera inserted through small openings so doctors can operate while viewing the inside of the body. As it spread, smaller incisions often reduced the burden on patients, sped recovery, and shortened hospital stays.
Medicine began to focus not only on curing illness, but on doing so with as little damage as possible. Seeing clearly inside the unseen body and helping with minimal burden became a major goal of modern medicine.

[EN][#TheStoryOfHumankind] 137. The United Nations and the Promise of “Never Again”
Date: October 24, 1945
After World War II, the United Nations was founded so that countries, strong and weak alike, could discuss disputes, protect peace and human rights, and seek ways to stop conflict without relying only on force.
The UN did not end war or discrimination, and it is not perfect. Even so, it gave the world a shared place for dialogue and a framework for protecting human rights—one form of hope created from humanity’s promise of “Never again.”

Mainland China’s ordinary networks cannot reach X because it is blocked at the national gateway. Under 《计算机信息网络国际联网管理暂行规定》(Interim Regulations on the Administration of International Networking of Computer Information Networks), units and individuals must use state-designated international channels and may not set up or use other channels. Unapproved access, including most consumer VPNs, therefore violates that regulation and related rules in 《中华人民共和国电信条例》(Telecommunications Regulations of the PRC) and 《中华人民共和国网络安全法》(Cybersecurity Law of the PRC).Personal viewing alone is usually treated as an administrative issue, not a named criminal offense of “using X.” Enforcement was long uneven. When punished, cases often ended in a warning or a small fine under the 1996 regulation (fine cap RMB 15,000) and, in some reports, 《中华人民共和国治安管理处罚法》(Public Security Administration Punishments Law). In March 2026, Hubei police publicly fined two men RMB 200 and RMB 500 for using a VPN to view X and TikTok, citing unauthorized international networking.Risk rises sharply if the user then posts or spreads content the authorities treat as politically sensitive. That conduct can trigger content and security rules in 《中华人民共和国网络安全法》(Cybersecurity Law of the PRC), 《中华人民共和国国家安全法》(National Security Law of the PRC), and, in serious cases, relevant provisions of 《中华人民共和国刑法》(Criminal Law of the PRC). Selling or providing unlicensed VPN services is treated more severely, often as illegal telecommunications business under 《中华人民共和国刑法》第225条 (Criminal Law of the PRC, Art. 225, illegal business operations).
🇨🇳China’s efforts to withhold information from its citizens are extremely strict.
It would be wonderful if China could soon become a country where people live happily, just like in Taiwan.🇹🇼

[EN][#TheStoryOfHumankind] 164. Invention / Discovery: 3D Printing
Date: The 1980s
3D printing builds a designed shape directly, layer by layer. Through the work of Chuck Hull and others, three-dimensional data could become physical objects, making prototypes faster to create, test, and improve.
The technology spread into medicine, aerospace, architecture, and other fields, enabling customized parts and shapes that were once difficult to make. Manufacturing gained a new freedom: producing the needed shape in the needed amount, rather than only mass-producing identical objects.
