Publisher:
Publishing Time: Not available
Features: The book's characteristics are as follows:
1. The book must be guided by Marxism. When writing a biography of a person, one must fully gather materials and conduct serious research. Only when one has a comprehensive understanding of this person's life, a concrete judgment of their major words and deeds, and confidence that these concepts and judgments align with objective historical reality can one begin writing.
2. The book must use narrative style, not a critical biography. The correct perspective should be conveyed through specific facts. Avoid excessive commentary detached from factual material. The selection, detail, and wording of facts must be carefully considered to ensure appropriateness.
3. The book must be truthful and credible. The facts in the biography must be repeatedly verified, with some requiring further investigation, to ensure accuracy. If there are doubts that cannot be resolved, it is better to omit or remain uncertain rather than spread misinformation.
4. The book must reflect the full picture of a person while maintaining focus. A person's biography should truthfully present their family background, education, major experiences, and words and deeds. In summary, it should reflect their life story. However, it should not be written as a mere chronicle or chronology. Select the most essential and representative events, describe them in detail and vividly, while leaving the rest more concise.
