Features: Time is merciless; in the blink of an eye, one has reached old age. As the temples turn white and old age approaches, the desire to write becomes even stronger. This is done, on one hand, to summarize one's own life, and on the other, for the joy of having something to do in old age. A lifetime of diplomatic work, with much of it spent slaving away at one's desk, has made writing for me a form of pleasure. The content of this book is somewhat "miscellaneous." To be honest, this "miscellaneous" is not entirely without reason—after all, isn't diplomacy a kind of "miscellaneous" field? The book is divided into five parts: "Diplomatic Strategy," "Negotiation Highlights," "Words on Diplomacy," "Diplomatic Anecdotes," and "International Commentary." The Ming Dynasty writer Tang Xianzu once said, "The charm of literature never tires of novelty, while the warmth of friendship never tires of familiarity." I truly wish for the writing to be fresh and original, but whether I have succeeded is quite uncertain.
