Features: On the centenary of the birth of Comrade Deng Xiaoping, the architect of China's reform and opening-up, we present to you this unique commemorative book, "The Guest Book of Deng Xiaoping's Former Residence." It is a perspective-defying commemorative work that, with its down-to-earth simplicity and the popular affection it commands, vividly portrays the close bond between the people and the leader, as well as the shared fate of the people and the nation. Through the candid and heartfelt remarks of visitors from around the world, it moves you, inspires you, and deeply touches you! This book is compiled from the tens of thousands of handwritten messages left in 99 guest books meticulously preserved at Deng Xiaoping's former residence in Guang'an, Sichuan, over more than two decades since it was opened to the public. It also includes selected online comments from the "Deng Xiaoping Memorial Hall" jointly organized by the Communist Youth League Central Committee and the Central Party Research Office. Carefully arranged according to the historical process of China's reform and opening-up and the construction of socialism with Chinese characteristics since the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee, it presents a thriving, progressive, and democratic and civilized new era. In addition to the guest book messages, a long-form interview by a seasoned journalist who visited Guang'an three times and extensively explored Deng Xiaoping's hometown weaves through the book, accompanied by over a hundred precious historical photographs interspersed with the text, creating a compelling and visually rich experience. What is truly moving is that this book selects important statements by Deng Xiaoping since the reform and opening-up, each word warm and every sentence wise. Reflecting on the past and present, it evokes a profound sense of familiarity. Isn't this also the heartfelt advice of Deng Xiaoping to his beloved great motherland and the sincere message to hundreds of millions of people?
