However, from an individual’s perspective, modern day PRC is unquestionably the best time to be a Chinese ever.
Infant mortality rates are at an all time low (remember, not even the Emperor of China, who had access to the best doctors, could be blessed with all of his children growing up to be healthy. This was why emperors needed a lot of concubines and sex in order to ensure a lot of sons. Having one son was too dangerous; he was very likely to die in childhood)
Literacy rates are the highest in Chinese history. What good is having great culture and literature if you can’t read? For 99% of Chinese people for 99% of our history, the sole purpose of our lives were to farm and provide for the rich. Not only could most of us never know the pleasure of reading a good book, but being illiterate also meant that we would have no understanding of philosophies in life. As such, sites like Quora would not exist, and even if they did, none of us would know how to enjoy them without literacy.
Most Chinese people nowadays have access to flushing toilet. Recently, I went to the countryside of China were the people didn’t have flushing toilets. It was an AWFUL experience. Those of you who have never experienced this would not understand the horror; you might think this is a troll answer. I assure you, it’s not. In addition to smelling bad, you are exposing yourself to diseases like cholera whenever you have to go.
然而，从个人的角度来看，现代中国无疑是成为中国人的最佳时期。
婴儿死亡率一直很低(请记住，即使是有最好的医生的中国皇帝，也不可能幸运地让他所有的孩子成长为健康的人，所以皇帝需要大量的侍妾和妃子，以确保许多儿子，生一个儿子太危险了，他很可能夭折 )。
识字率是中国历史上最高的。如果你不识字，拥有伟大的文化和文学有什么用呢？对于99%的中国人来说，在我们99%的历史中，我们生活的唯一目的就是耕种和供养富人，因此，像Quora这样的网站是不存在的，即使它们存在，我们也不知道如何在不识字的情况下享受它们。
现在大多数中国人可以使用冲水厕所，最近，我去了中国的农村，那里的人们没有冲洗式厕所。这是一次可怕的经历，那些从未经历过这些的人不会理解那种恐怖，你可能会认为这是胡扯，我向你保证，事实并非如此，除了气味不好之外，当你不得不去**的时候，会把自己暴露在霍乱这样的疾病中。

跟汉唐比差远了，犯我强汉者虽远必诛、现在还能说出口吗？即使能说出来也只是说出来而已

比汉唐更繁荣强大是肯定的，但汉唐时可没有比中国更强的，别说罗马和阿拉伯帝国
