FAQ

Connecting Knowledge to Life: Knowledge in books comes from the exploration and discovery of ordinary people, just like us, within the context of their own lives. Therefore, either the knowledge point itself is significant, or the method of their exploration is worth learning from.

Enhancing Empathy and Values: Because there are many historical figures, the same problem can have different interpretations from different perspectives. This naturally aligns with modern pluralistic values and, at the same time, enhances empathy.

Boosting Initiative: Using a figure's first-person perspective to showcase their life narrows the distance between the learner and the pioneer. This idea—(Learning is Exploration - Exploration is Learning)—subtly suggests that the learner is also an explorer of the unknown world. This provides an invisible form of recognition and encouragement, thus boosting the learner's initiative.

We maintain a high standard for data integrity, yet we acknowledge that there are instances where the age records for some historical figures are missing or contain inaccuracies due to the nature of historical documentation.

It is human nature to find it easier to think about tangible things, and a map displaying the birthplaces, death locations, and sites of major events for historical figures makes them easier to remember and connect with.

Each map can be zoomed and dragged; figures on the map are presented according to their era and cultural sphere, and when layered with a timeline, they can move like a historical panorama video.
