This book is part of the series, authored by Liu Xinsheng, former Ambassador of the People's Republic of China to Brunei, and Pan Zhengxiu, former Consul General of the People's Republic of China in Brunei. The two authors are a couple of seasoned diplomats with rich and diverse diplomatic experiences, many of which are little-known. Over their 40-year diplomatic careers, they have encountered conflicts on the India-Bhutan border, witnessed the normalization of China-India relations from thawing to normalcy; experienced the anti-Chinese wave in Indonesia, participating in China-Indonesia diplomatic negotiations; and, during periods of frequent political upheavals in the Philippines, personally witnessed scenes of government troops and rebel forces facing off with guns drawn. Later, as the first couple of Chinese Ambassadors to Brunei, they embarked together on a mission to a wealthy and uniquely ceremonial country in Asia, shouldering the responsibilities of establishing a new embassy and fostering bilateral relations. After concluding their duties as ambassadors abroad and returning to China, they were simultaneously recalled to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to oversee foreign-related affairs in Tibet, thus perfectly concluding their diplomatic careers.
