Story
Las bellas artes folklóricas chinas son el arte de imágenes visuales creado para cubrir la propia necesidad de vida social del pueblo chino, que mezcla en la forma de la vida social tal como la vida productiva, los artículos de primera necesidad, el rito de vida y la convicción y tabú, etc. La connotación cultural y la forma de arte contienen tanto el sedimento de cultura e historia de China con siete u ocho mil años, desde la sociedad primitiva hasta hoy en día,como las ruinas de la cultura primitiva del culto a la naturaleza, al tótem, a los antepasados.

Story
En China, una de las grandes fuentes de la civilización humana, fueron creados numerosos y brillantes inventos científicos y tecnológicos, por los cuales el país asiático mantenía en un puesto de liderazgo en todo el mundo durante un largo período a lo largo de la historia milenaria. A través de las observaciones y estudios sobre la astronomía, la geografía y la vida cotidiana los antiguos chinos formaron el concepto filosófico de “integración entre la naturaleza y los seres humanos”, y basándose en esta teoría se generaron maravillosos inventos científicos y tecnológicos.

Story
On 11 September 2001 19 al-Qaeda-inspired jihadists hijacked four aircraft and mounted the deadliest terrorist attack in history. The outrage triggered a chain of events that saw British forces drawn into a lengthy military campaign against a fierce insurgency in Afghanistan. Sergio Miller served in Defence Intelligence in Whitehall throughout the campaign, and Pride and Fall answers the many questions surrounding the conflict. Based on abundant open-source material generated by the war and first-hand testimonies, this is the story of the men and women who served.
