Features: Elephant Character Autobiography Series. This is a series quite different from the "Elephant Character Focus Series." In the "Focus Series," the described character is an objective subject, left to the authors to adopt their respective stances and perspectives to gaze upon and scan, then narrated in a relatively free manner. In such circumstances, the author's subjective color inevitably determines the narrative angle and language, so the person they focus on is often just the "one" in their mind, rather than the complete truth of the person. Adding to the limitation of the series' length, the life of the described character, his rich and ever-changing aspects, cannot be fully presented. Now, the "Elephant Character Autobiography Series" will make up for such shortcomings. In this series, the chosen characters are no longer objects of others' focus and scanning, but the protagonists narrating their own lives to the readers. Compared to the "Focus Series," it may make readers feel more intimate. Because it can serve as a personalized history reader and also become a more valuable cultural reader outside of textbooks.
