and feudal society. During the middle decades of the 19th century, capitalist forces of foreign countries invaded China, and China was slowly
transformed into a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society. The founding of the People's Republic in 1949 marked China's entry into the socialist
stage. During the long period of historical development, the industrious, courageous, and intelligent Chinese people of all nationalities
collectively created a great civilization. They made great contributions to all of mankind.
