Features: Since arriving in Guizhou, the author has persistently written daily work diaries to genuinely record his experiences and gains each day. Over the course of a year, he completed nearly 300 diary entries. This thick collection of diaries represents another spiritual treasure the author acquired in Guizhou. It serves as a record of a returned overseas scholar's political involvement, a cultural read on regional economy, and a reference for government decision-making. Dr. Wei Jingfu, as a member of the second batch of Shanghai's Westward Doctor Service Corps, embarked on the red city of Zunyi. During his tenure as Assistant Mayor in Zunyi City, Guizhou, he actively raised funds and devoted care to rebuild Tai Primary School in Zhennan Town, Wuchuan Gelao and Miao Autonomous County, which garnered widespread attention in society. In the blink of an eye, a year passed, but the deep bond Dr. Wei Jingfu formed with the West remained with him for a lifetime. As he wrote in his diary: "A year in the West, a lifetime of Westward affection."
