Features: A heartfelt recollection of a personal secretary who was always by the side of the author; 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 some aspects of Cheng Siyuan's life from the mid-1990s onwards, as learned by the author while serving as his secretary and later. Structurally, it is divided into several thematic sections, exploring different perspectives to reflect as comprehensively as possible Cheng Siyuan's work and life in his later years, particularly his thoughts, views, and emotions. This may serve as a supplement to the existing numerous books and articles about Cheng Siyuan, providing readers with a more rounded understanding of him. However, the author follows these four principles in writing: one is truthfulness, two is trustworthiness, three is emotion, and four is appropriateness. Specifically, the author adheres to the following three principles: First, the principle of respecting facts. Second, the principle of appropriate selection and emphasis. Third, the principle of deep respect.
