Features: This book includes 186 letters written by Comrade Qian Xuesen from 1983 to 1999 over a span of 16 years, focusing on the "Sixth Industrial Revolution" (i.e., the Great Agricultural Revolution driven by biotechnology). Those who have read these handwritten letters from Comrade Qian, in addition to the recipients themselves, are a small number of other comrades who almost unanimously expressed a desire for these insights, shining with the spark of thought, to be shared with everyone so that they could be learned and understood. The purpose of editing and publishing these letters is to respond to the expectations of these comrades. To help readers understand the background of the letters and the correspondents of Comrade Qian, in addition to briefly mentioning the recipients' positions in the footnotes of each letter, the appendices of this book also include the background and personal reflections written by the recipients themselves.
