The Java doc describe that the constructor Date(long date) constructs a Date object using the given milliseconds time value since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT
When I did new Date(0), the date is Jan 01 01:00:00 CET 1970
I don’t know why it begin with 01h
It’s show 1AM because you’re an hour ahead of GMT. A date instance is simply a counter of the number of milliseconds since 00:00:00 1970 GMT. Since your an hour ahead, when the epoch occurred it was actually 1AM your time.
The Date instance simply formats its toString() method to use your system’s timezone. If you want to print out a date using a different zone, use a DateFormat instance.
