Marie Curie studied in Paris, France, and during his work in the laboratory of the French scientist Pierre Curie, with the same interests, the common work, made them develop a deep friendship, and they were married in 1895. In 1903, Marie Curie received her doctorate. In the same year, the Curies and Antoine Henri Becquerel were jointly awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for their research on radioactivity. In 1911, Marie Curie won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry again for her discovery of the elements polonium and radium, thus becoming the first person in the world to win the Nobel Prize twice. Marie Curie's achievements include pioneering radioactivity theory, inventing the technique of separating radioisotopes, and discovering two new elements, polonium and radium. Under her guidance, radioisotopes were used for the first time to treat cancer. Due to prolonged exposure to radioactive materials, Marie Curie died of malignant leukemia on 4 July 1934.

During World War II, the beautiful ancient city of Warsaw was severely damaged and almost razed to the ground. After Warsaw escaped the war in 1945, the city was rebuilt as it was, not only maintaining the style of the medieval city, but also building a new urban area, which exceeded the scale and level of the pre-war period. In 1980, the Historic Centre of Warsaw was inscribed on the World Heritage List by the UNESCO World Heritage Committee as a cultural heritage.
