本书以珠江三角洲作为艺术焦点，按照历史时序，全景式地追溯中华民族100多年来的强国之梦和不懈探索的伟大历程。作品所叙写的，都是中国近、现代史上的重大事件，如戊戌变法、辛亥革命一直到改革开放和现代化建设。面对这样富于历史意蕴的大题材，要求作者有开阔的视野和历史眼光，要求作品配以大的结构框架来容纳和消化极其丰富的内容。而这一方面，正是作者所长。面对“百年鸟瞰，卅载观照”，作者以时间流程为经线，以人物活动为纬线，勾勒、交织出一幅中华民族舍死忘生、百折不挠地求生存求发展的百年历史画卷。

The world trend advances with great power. Those who conform to it will thrive while those who oppose it will crash.
