Features: The United States has Forrest Gump, the UK has Mr. Bean, what about us? It's not easy to write this book because Deng Jianguo is a very complex and ever-changing person. To write this book, I have made more than one million words of notes and spent nearly two years observing him. Here, I thank all my friends who provided me with information about Deng Jianguo! I also thank Deng Jianguo's family! I thank the interviewees from Deng Jianguo's hometown! Most of the images in this book, except for those I took myself, were provided by Deng Jianguo and people who knew him well. Special thanks to Mr. Zeng Yang, a reporter who covered Deng Jianguo, for proactively providing me with several precious photos. During the writing process, Deng Jianguo constantly clashed with me, trying to influence and change my stance and perspective. I repeatedly told him clearly: You can say anything, but I will my views! In the end, we reached a consensus, but Deng Jianguo insisted: I'm not worried about anything, just worried about whether there will be any women who love me like this after the book is published? The friends present asked him, "Tell me, which woman is truly in love with you?" Deng Jianguo thought for a moment and said, "I don't know! That's just the kind of real and lovable lunatic he is."
