In 1796 in Europe
A new breeze is slowly blowing across the land of France
French Directory, an executive government institution composed of five individuals
Wave away the obstacles and decide to overthrow the old shackles, proclaiming freedom of the press
In that cloudy dawn, accompanied by the roar of the printing press
New ideas and critical voices are beginning to echo in the streets and alleys
This decision is like a stone causing a thousand waves
The impact on history is far-reaching
It not only provided a model for the political and social changes that followed the French Revolution, but also influenced the development of modern democracy and human rights
Society has brought about diversification of thoughts
It also promoted the vigorous growth of democratic thought

In 1853
The ever-changing Chinese land has sparked a heart-stirring battle

The force composed of the peasant uprising army captured Jiangning Prefecture
With the collapse of the city gates, the dust of the old era settles

And establish here the imperial capital of their dreams
This event has had a profound impact on Chinese history
It marks the climax of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom movement
This movement challenged the rule of the Qing Dynasty
And to the social structure and others in China
Various aspects have caused profound changes
The ideas and measures of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, such as land reform and social innovation
Although it was ultimately not fully achieved
But they have left an indelible mark in Chinese history
In 1915, human exploration of the universe seemed to be at a standstill
The ordinary night wrote a new chapter
In the distant state of Arizona, United States
The astronomers at the Lowell Observatory
First captured two blurry photos
In the photo, a small celestial body can be faintly seen
The cold world later named as Pluto
At that time, these two photos did not cause a sensation
Because astronomers were not aware
This blurry dot is a new planet
This discovery was not confirmed until 1930
And the name of Pluto came along with it
The discovery of Pluto has had a significant impact on astronomy and us
The understanding of the solar system has had a tremendous impact
As time goes by, the status of Pluto has been changing
From being considered the ninth largest planet
Redefined as a dwarf planet by 2006
In 2018, in the Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya
A sad event has occurred
The last male northern white rhinoceros on Earth - Sudan
Ended its journey of life

A subspecies on the brink of extinction
It has also raised global concerns about biodiversity loss
Profound reflection on the urgency of wildlife conservation
Sudan's death is a reflection of human impact on the environment
A strong warning bell of the negative impact on the natural world
Due to ongoing poaching and habitat loss
The northern white rhinoceros, once a giant creature freely roaming the African savannah
Nowadays, it can only be found in the memories of history

Dealt a fatal blow to the USS Franklin, resulting in the loss of 800 lives on board
The brave sailors sacrificed their lives, and at the same time, the ship also suffered severe damage

Demonstrated the desperate resistance capability that the Japanese army still possessed towards the end of the war
The damage to the Franklin was so severe that it became
Second only to the USS Arizona battleship in the Pearl Harbor incident
The second largest single-ship personnel casualty incident in the US military

In 1971, in San Shan Road, To Kwa Wan, Kowloon, Hong Kong
The Hong Kong military successfully removed a missile
A thousand-pound bomb buried underground
This bomb is from World War II
Unexploded bombs left over from the period
It is found accidentally during construction or other ground operations
The discovery of the bomb immediately caught the attention and concern of the public
Because these types of weapons have been left behind
Having a high potential for explosion poses a threat to public safety
The military's ammunition technicians were quickly dispatched to the scene
They conducted a careful assessment and developed a plan to remove the bomb
This incident also serves as a reminder that even years after the end of a war,
The remaining danger still exists
Discovering and clearing unexploded ordnance around the world
Still an important public security operation

In 1976, in the bustling city of Hong Kong in Asia
A small but significant
The event marks the changes of the era
The last batch of British military mules stationed in Hong Kong has been officially withdrawn
These mules were once an indispensable part of the British army
In many military operations, play a role in transportation and support
In an era when mechanized transportation was not as prevalent as it is today
The military mule is an extremely important means of transporting military supplies
Especially in rugged terrain or underdeveloped areas
They are strong
Widely used for endurance and adaptability to complex terrains
With the progress of the times and the development of transportation methods
Military mules are gradually being replaced by trucks and other vehicles
Their withdrawal symbolizes Hong Kong's transition from one
Regions that mainly rely on traditional transportation methods
Transition to a modern city
