Features: Wu Weijun held key positions in both politics and diplomacy from the Yuan Shikai era until the 1950s. He represented China at the Paris Peace Conference and later served as a long-term envoy to France, the United Kingdom, the United States, and other countries. His memoir is an authoritative record of many significant events in Chinese history, especially in the field of international relations, during his turbulent half-century career, and the content is highly detailed. Moreover, because Wu maintained the identity of a non-partisan professional diplomat for most of his political career, his descriptions carry a special significance. Reading this book carefully will greatly help us to truly and comprehensively understand that era, avoiding one-sided and narrow historical perspectives.
