Publish Date: 2006-03-01
Features: As the editor and host of the "Dialogue with the Stars" column on Phoenix TV's Chinese Channel, Ruan Cishan's "Ruan-style" emphasizes "speaking without fail to shock"—that is, using the shortest, most impactful language to get straight to the core. Following the publication of "Cold and: The Century of Confusion Between China and the U.S." and "Peace and War: The Century of Questions Between the Two Sides of the Taiwan Strait" earlier this year, Ruan Cishan has now released "Dialogue with the Stars." This bilingual edition of "Dialogue with the Stars" is, in fact, a new version of the program, featuring interviews with nearly 30 world leaders and prominent figures from various countries, all of which were broadcast over the past two years. The publication of this book is a heartfelt gift from the "Dialogue with the Stars" program to people from all walks of life. It includes Ruan Cishan's handwritten interview transcripts and notes, recollections, and background analyses of his visits to various countries, revealing his sharp observations of politics and authoritative figures worldwide, as well as the emotional stories behind his interviews. Unlike the previously published interview collections, this book has three distinctive features:
First, it is bilingual (Chinese-English) with a strong sense of immediacy, serving as first-hand material for studying international politics. Readers can enjoy the Chinese version or experience the original thoughts of the interviewees through the authentic English translation.
Second, the book is more systematic and updated, making it a valuable gift for those interested in current affairs and politics and who follow Phoenix TV's Chinese Channel. From 2003 to 2005, the world situation underwent dramatic changes, and Ruan Cishan's interviews closely followed the latest developments. He engaged in in-depth discussions with figures such as British Prime Minister Tony Blair, "Palestine's Iron Lady" Ashrawi, Hamas leader Zahar, Israeli Vice Premier and Nobel laureate Peres, and former WTO Director-General Supachai. The content is entirely different from the "Dialogue with the Stars" published in June last year.
Third, the book also includes Ruan Cishan's interview notes and links to relevant background information. It not only features incisive commentary on hot topics and global political trends but also critiques world leaders, with some revealing previously undisclosed celebrity anecdotes. This book collects more than 20 bilingual dialogues between Phoenix TV's Editor-in-Chief Ruan Cishan and world leaders, offering great help for understanding global affairs and learning English.
