Features: A heartfelt recollection of a personal secretary; a legendary elder shrouded in mystery; a loyal friend of the Communist Party of China; a late-life Cheng Siyuan with courage, wisdom, integrity, and vitality. This book primarily captures the information I learned about Cheng Laoshi during my time serving as his secretary and thereafter, focusing on his life and work in the mid-1990s and later. Structurally, it is divided into several thematic sections, presenting different perspectives to reflect as much as possible about Cheng Laoshi's late-life work and life, particularly his thoughts, views, and emotions. This may serve as a supplement to the numerous existing books and articles about Cheng Laoshi, providing readers with a more comprehensive understanding of him. However, the author adheres to the following principles in writing: one is realism, two is trustworthiness, three is emotion, and four is appropriateness. Specifically, the author follows these three guidelines: First, respect for facts. Second, appropriate selection and balance of detail. Third, deep respect.
