the simplification of chinese symbols got its breakthrough with the newly established communist government in mainland china in the 50's and the 60's. by simplifying the characters it was easier to spread the propaganda from bejing. that's why the symbol used in hong-kong, taiwan, vietnam ect. may be different.
