  stellar-scale explosions since the Big Bang. Their research has now fully
  entered the era of multi-messenger astronomy\, moving beyond early observ
 ations that relied solely on photons. Current in-orbit missions\, exemplif
 ied by the Einstein Probe (EP) satellite\, are systematically revealing th
 e physical connections between GRBs and extragalactic X-ray transients\, a
 nd are advancing the sub-classification of stellar-scale explosive events.
  Meanwhile\, the coordinated operation of several Chinese space satellites
  (e.g.\, SVOM\, GECAM)\, ground-based optical telescopes (e.g.\, WFST\, Me
 phisto)\, and the Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) has 
 significantly increased the detection rate of GRB triggers and the quality
  of multi-wavelength follow-up observations. These efforts provide valuabl
 e opportunities for in-depth studies of jet properties and shock physics\,
  for using GRBs as probes in cosmology\, and for exploring new physics. Th
 is talk will first review the historical development of GRB research. Then
 \, we will present our recent observational understanding of several typic
 al EP sources and multiple GRBs (including twin GRBs and the brightest-of-
 all-time GRB)\, revealing the underlying and unified shock physics laws. W
 e will also discuss the prospects of applying these new insights and the c
 orresponding numerical tools to future theoretical modeling of complex GRB
 s. Finally\, we will introduce the prospects of detecting high-redshift GR
 Bs with the EP and SVOM satellites\, as well as stringent tests of Lorentz
  invariance violation based on LHAASO observations of the brightest-of-all
 -time GRB.Biography: Lead of the High-Energy Time-Domain Astronomy Group a
 t Purple Mountain Observatory\, Chinese Academy of Sciences. PhD Superviso
 r\, School of Astronomy and Space Science\, University of Science and Tech
 nology of China. He received his B.Sc. (2000) and Ph.D. (2005) in Astronom
 y from Nanjing University. Subsequently\, he conducted research and postdo
 ctoral work at the California Institute of Technology\, Pennsylvania State
  University\, and University of Nevada\, Las Vegas. His main research focu
 ses on high-energy time-domain astronomy and its applications in cosmology
  and fundamental physics. He has authored or co-authored about 300 papers 
 in international general and professional journals\, with a total of ~20\,
 000 citations and an H-index of 64. His honors include the National Excell
 ent Doctoral Dissertation Award\, and his research achievements have been 
 selected four times as one of China's Top Ten Astronomical Advances. He ha
 s been the principal investigator of a lot of major grants\, including the
  Excellent Young Scientist Fund\, Distinguished Young Scholar Fund\, and I
 nnovative Research Group Program of the National Natural Science Foundatio
 n of China\, as well as the SKA Special Project of the Ministry of Science
  and Technology. He served as Chairman of the Committee on Space Astronomy
  and High-Energy Astrophysics (14th Council) and now the Executive Member 
 of the Board (15th Council) of the Chinese Astronomical Society.\n\nhttps:
