Abstract: The history of Chinese modern revolution can be grouped into three periods as follows: the red revolution period (from the founding of the Chinese Communist Party in 1921 to that of the People’s Republic of China in 1949), the black revolution period (from start of industrial revolution in 1949 to the initial stage of a well-off society in 2000), and the green revolution period (from 2000 to 2010 aimed at developing a resource-saving and environment-friendly society). China has therefore accomplished a tri-giant leap from the red revolution to the black revolution, and then to the green revolution in the space of just one century. In the future, China must embark on green revolution, develop clean and renewable energy, green manufacturing and agricultural production, and low carbon economy. These measures would not only reduce pollution, but also improve the environment, ensure food safety and sustainable development in the country.
