Features: Gu Weijun held key positions in both the political and diplomatic fields from the Yuan Shikai era to 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, particularly in the field of international relations, during the turbulent half-century. The content is highly detailed. Moreover, because Gu remained a non-partisan career diplomat for most of his political career, his descriptions carry a special significance. Reading this book carefully will greatly help us gain a genuine and comprehensive understanding of that era, avoiding one-sided and narrow historical perspectives.
