He Changed China: The Jiang Zemin Story is a significant work by American author Robert Lawrence Kuhn. Kuhn is a renowned international investment banker, corporate strategist, and host of a program on Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) in the U.S. He has long been focused on China and Jiang Zemin, conducting in-depth and meticulous interviews with Jiang Zemin's family members, close friends, and relevant staff, gathering extensive first-hand materials. Based on this, he wrote this biography. The book introduces Jiang Zemin's life journey, particularly elaborating on and evaluating the historical achievements he established during his more than ten years as a major leader in China. While emphasizing his official activities, it also extensively covers aspects such as family life, hobbies, and personal style, presenting a multi-faceted and multi-angle portrayal of the subject. The author has a solid understanding of China's national conditions, history, and traditional culture, and readers can sense his friendly sentiments toward China from the book. As a Westerner, the author's perspectives and approaches on certain issues may differ from ours, but we believe readers will understand and grasp them. Reading this book allows readers not only to systematically learn about Jiang Zemin but also to revisit the vicissitudes of our country over the past 80 years.
