My Notes
What an incredible story, and an incredible life. I had the pleasure of reading this book while in China, and juxtaposing the anecdotes he shared with what the country looked like in 2025 is simply mind-blowing.
I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in China, socialism/communism, and anyone curious of how much humans can do when we band together to try to improve the world.
