Features: This book is a volume of Chen Dunde's documentary literature on diplomatic themes, titled "The Cycle of New China's Diplomacy." It is divided into four parts, revealing many little-known secrets and intricate details of Zhou Enlai and Chen Yi's visits to Africa during the early years of the founding of New China. The book is comprehensive, rich in information, and presents detailed, authentic narratives, making it a valuable reference for readers. In the early years of New China's founding, the African continent was also awakening. Zhou Enlai led the Chinese government delegation, chartering the old propeller plane "Baltic" from KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, flying across oceans and deserts to make the first visit to ten African countries, bringing the deep friendship of the Chinese people. Zhou Enlai's "pioneering journey" to Africa, China's unconditional assistance in building the Tanzania-Zambia Railway, which Western powers were reluctant to undertake, Mao Zedong's theory of the Third World, and many other events helped New China win widespread and profound friendship on the African continent. The return of New China to the United Nations was also greatly supported by the African brothers! This book vividly and delicately recreates the touching history of Zhou Enlai and Chen Yi's visits to Africa, as they paved the way for developing China-Africa relations through sincere interactions with African leaders such as Nasser, Nkrumah, Niyonzima, Dulles, and Emperor Selassie. This book is a must-read for those studying and understanding the diplomatic history of New China, and is considered a masterpiece of documentary literature.
