Abstract: This paper briefly recounts the history of high-energy colliders, the discovery of the Higgs boson and its significant scientific implications, the development and strategic layouts of future Higgs factories, as well as the historical opportunities for the development of high-energy physics in China. The international high-energy physics community widely acknowledges that the Higgs boson serves as a portal to new physics beyond the Standard Model. The world-wide consensus is that the electron-positron Higgs factory is the highestpriority next-generation collider, which will measure the properties of the Higgs boson and the Standard Model parameters with unprecedented precision. It will play a pivotal role in exploring the mysteries of the deepest structure of matter, dark matter, new physics, evolution of the early universe, the origin of matter, etc. It is expected to deepen our understanding of the universe, time, and space to a new level. Several next generation colliders have been proposed internationally, including the Circular Electron Positron Collider (CEPC), Future Circular Collider (FCC), International Linear Collider (ILC), Compact Linear Collider (CLIC), Cool Cooper Collider(CCC), and muon colliders. Among them, CEPC, led by Chinese scientists, holds distinct competitive advantages, and should help China achieve leapfrog advances in fundamental physics, accelerators and detectors key technologies, transforming from a follower to a world leader in the field.
