Chapter 24 thank you

According to the recollection of Confucianist Yin Haiguang, his teacher and philosopher Jin Yuelin once said, "Anything that belongs to the so-called spirit of the times and excites the people of an era may not be reliable or lasting." This statement is quite profound. If any of my books make the reader's heart flutter, it is my fault.The history we are reading should not be cold, but it should not be hot, it should only have the normal body temperature of ordinary people.In calmness, we can find the entrance to truth. Thank you to those who have created the progress of Chinese business - all my efforts are to give you a justice.

Thanks to those who made history.For this corporate history, I have read and adopted a large number of previous achievements. Like all my previous works, I did not list a large number of book indexes at the end of the book. This is mainly due to two considerations. Both have marked valuable sources of information, and interested readers can find them through various channels; second, in order to save paper, I am often uneasy about the expensive prices of my books. I want to jot down and here recite the names of these scholars whose research on modern and contemporary Chinese history is awe-inspiring: John King Fairbank, Marie Claire Bergere, Jonathan D. Spence ), Sherman Cochran, Frederic Wakeman, Philip A.Kuhn, Albert Feuerwerker, Thoas G.Rawski, Liu Guangjing, Hao Yanping, Yang Xiaokai, Wang Yejian, Yu Yingshi, Du Runsheng, Zhu Xueqin, Lei Yi, Liang Xiaomin.

For this writing, I went to Shanghai, Shenzhen, Tianjin, Anqing, Chongqing, Nantong, Wuxi, Nanjing, Yichang, Fuzhou, Ningbo, Guangzhou, Zhenjiang, Hong Kong and many other cities. His deeds and sites are doing untold work. Thanks to my assistants Zhu Lin and Lu Bin, this book is inseparable from their assistance in many aspects.Thanks to the many colleagues of the "Oriental Morning Post".Thanks to President Wang Bin, Editor-in-Chief Pan Yue, and my editor-in-charge Jiang Lei of CITIC Publishing House. Their tolerance and patience with me seems to have no boundaries. Thanks to my wife Shao Bingbing.I originally planned to write this work in the way of biographies of characters, but it was her insistence that I changed to the current chronological style that is consistent with the present, which made me pay several times more workload. Now it seems that, She is right.In the past few years, writing has become the most important part of family life. The only compensation I can make is to accompany her and Wu Shuran to watch every new "blockbuster movie" as much as possible.

The creation of the relay race has come to an end.When I started writing, Wu Shuran had just stepped into the primary school gate with a small schoolbag on her back. Today, after completing the second volume of "A Hundred Years of Ups and Downs", she is already going to junior high school.Time passes like this, changing yesterday and tomorrow quietly. It leaves flowers blooming, flower fading, rain gathering, and fog dispersing in our lives. It never comes or goes in vain. So far, Wu Shuran has "dismissed" any of my works, and I am patiently waiting for the day when she makes criticisms.
