The 20th century was one full of great changes for China. In this century, China overthrew feudalism and imperialism, and pursued democracy and science. The Chinese Communist Party created a new era in Chinese history and achieved a great victory in the War of Resistance Against Japan, as part of the worldwide anti-fascist struggle. Since the founding of socialist New China in 1949, the country has increased its strength and achieved rapid progress in science and technology, and in the more recent reform and opening up. The smooth return to the motherland of Hong Kong and Macao has enabled the Chinese people of several generations to realize their aspirations. As the first set of a series of stamps issued to mark the coming of the 21st century, these stamps vividly demonstrate brilliant 100 years in the history of the Chinese nation.
