Through comparative analysis, we can find commonalities and personalities, questions of universal significance and answers with Chinese characteristics.
Each topic will be divided into several questions, leading the teaching content with questions, and looking for the answers to the questions and the enlightenment of these questions to Chinese society through introduction and sorting out. Taking the topic of "Population and Ethnicity" as an example, the topic will be divided into ten issues: population size, population density, aging population and aging society, child mortality rate, birth rate, life expectancy, surname, number of ethnic groups, ethnic population and regional autonomy. One is to examine the current situation, and the other is to show the past from a historical perspective. The profound changes in China in the past century include the increase in population and life expectancy, the decline in child mortality, the policy of regional ethnic autonomy in New China, etc., and examine the challenges posed by the aging society to Chinese society.

It uses pictures, short videos, stories and other forms to present contemporary China in three dimensions, guides students to think deeply about different aspects of contemporary Chinese society, and deepens contemporary China. The understanding and recognition of the Chinese people, the Communist Party of China and China's governance model.
