Features: The author has worked in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for nearly 40 years and has participated in arranging ceremonial affairs for leaders such as Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, and Liu Shaoqi. He has held positions in multiple embassies and consulates in Asia, the Americas, and Oceania. During his tenure at the Chinese Embassy in Fiji, the author traveled eight times "without regard for the heavens or the earth," shuttling between Fiji, Kiribati, and Vanuatu. Notably, from February 1990 to August 1992, the author established the Chinese Embassy in Kiribati alone and remained there for nearly three years. The hardships he endured and the unique experiences he encountered during this period are unprecedented in the history of China's foreign relations. This book tells the story of the author's diplomatic career in the South Pacific, the United States, and Singapore.
