Features: This book explores whether history creates people or people create history, or if it's a mutual creation. When I look back at the history of the Communist Party of China, I see a long and winding road, covered in thorns, blocked by mountains and rivers, filled with difficulties and obstacles, and sprinkled with the blood of martyrs everywhere. There are countless heroic sacrifices and bitter lessons to be seen. All of this leaves me deeply moved. I wonder if it was history that created this party or if it was the people who created history, or if it's a mutual creation. When I look back at the history of the Communist Party of China, I see a long and winding road, covered in thorns, blocked by mountains and rivers, filled with difficulties and obstacles, and sprinkled with the blood of martyrs everywhere. There are countless heroic sacrifices and bitter lessons to be seen. All of this leaves me deeply moved. I think, if this party did not gather a large number of people with firm ideals and beliefs, great spirit and perseverance, how could it have reached where it is today? Of course, in reading and reflecting, I also see the various weaknesses of historical figures. But who doesn't have weaknesses? However, perhaps it is precisely because all historical figures who create history have weaknesses that history appears so colorful and enigmatic, so full of ruggedness yet so charming.
