Features: This book collects personalized speech fragments from over 800 people from China and abroad over the past six years, reflecting important events in various fields such as politics, economy, culture, and overseas through the form of quotations. The content includes public directives and speech records of national leaders, personalized remarks of provincial and ministerial leaders, insights from domestic and international political and economic elites, impromptu remarks by celebrities, sharp observations from renowned scholars, and simple yet truthful words from ordinary people. Additionally, to enhance the sense of conflict, the book dedicates special chapters to some inappropriate or apologetic remarks of celebrities for analysis and reference.
The book not only selects and compiles the speeches but also provides narrative context for the environment in which the speeches were made, aiming to reflect the personalities of the speakers through their unique language and to showcase extraordinary performances of individuals in specific situations. From this book, readers can clearly see that many seemingly spontaneous remarks are actually meticulously planned behind the scenes. Our admirable collector of these materials has discovered this and, through proper handling, accurately presents what lies behind the words, exploring where the brilliance of the speech comes from and what visible or invisible impacts it has on the public.
In some countries, speech delivery has become an industry. For example, the "Presidential Campaign Strategist" mechanism, where if a region's vote count is lagging, "speeches" are delivered there, tailored to the market characteristics of the region—whether to address the poor or the wealthy—is all decided by the strategist, while the presidential candidate is merely an actor. One of the strengths of this book is that it extracts such "speeches" from the vast ocean of speeches and books, organizes them systematically, and presents them to readers.
Furthermore, the book clearly divides its content into sections such as "National Affairs," "Civil Administration," "People's Livelihood," "Social Issues," etc., making it very convenient for readers to analyze and study. The entire book has 180,000 words, carefully selected from millions of words of reading material. It uses speech as the starting point, characters as the focal point, and stories as supplements, seeking the charm of traditional Chinese historiography, recording the of the era, and is a highly thought-provoking read that will take readers into a fascinating world.
