Constitute Africa

Like many people, my first impression of Africa comes from the African wild animals in the animal world and the virgin forests and grasslands where they live. It seems that everything there is associated with "primitive", "barbaric" and "mysterious". Later, in my impression, Africa became war, turmoil, filth and terrible infectious diseases. Later, I learned about the mysterious pyramids in Egypt and South Africa. There is also the tribal culture of the Cambari people, which is full of exotic customs ... Africa is like a broken celadon vase, scattered all over the place, and occasionally repaired, which makes people discover its beauty and antiquity, but it is far from complete.

On the one hand, it is a primitive, fragmented, savage and dangerous Africa; On the one hand, Africa is strange, natural, beautiful, full of freedom and nationality. Under such complicated historical torture, the author has never given up that Africa is by no means isolated from the world. Africa and Africans have played a long-term and important role in the process of world history and civilization, and their influence on other parts of the world and other regions has never stopped. Those Roman culture, Greek culture and Jewish culture can always find the brand of Africa. The author firmly believes that a better understanding of African history means a better understanding of world history, and for Africa, Africans and African history, no matter how fragmented and untrue our so-called "African impression" is, it is still a starting point for us to truly understand Africa.
