——Read Xu Jingquan's "Peking University Foreign Propaganda Students".

Chu Jing. Recently, I read Mr. Jing Quan's new book "Students of Peking University's Foreign Propaganda Phase I", and I was spontaneously happy and moved.

Mr. Jing Quan is two months older than me, and we have worked in the same agency compound, and we have similar resumes: we have also engaged in journalism, and we have also served as the editor-in-chief of publications. The difference is that he received formal training in the foreign propaganda class of the Department of International Politics of Peking University from 1987 to 1988, so he has a relatively deep theory and experience in external propaganda work.

Through the vivid and touching examples of this group of external propaganda people, the work shows the magnificent picture of China's all-round and three-dimensional comprehensive propaganda to the world in the early stage of China's reform and opening up, which is encouraging and inspiring.

The first phase of the external propaganda class of Peking University was in the mid-to-late 80s of the last century, a special class jointly organized by the ** external propaganda group and Peking University. All the trainees came from state organs, troops, various provinces and municipalities, a total of 66 people, including Han, Naxi, Uygur, Mongolian, Manchu, Bai and other ethnic groups. Among them, there is a large age gap (the oldest is in his 50s, the youngest is in his early 20s);The status level is large (there are section members, section chiefs, division chiefs, municipal party committee ministers, etc.), and there are many Communist Party members (92% of them are middle ** members).

As the founder of modern higher education in China, the center of China's New Culture Movement and the birthplace of the May Fourth Movement, Peking University has produced a number of great politicians and revolutionary pioneers, as well as many outstanding experts and scholars, and promoted the development of China's science and technology, culture, education and society. The students of the mission class are fortunate to come here to study and Xi, and the joy and excitement in their hearts are indescribable;They take courses such as Lectures on External Communications, Introduction to Foreign Propaganda, Western Civil Service, Communication, World Politics and International Relations, and English. In just one year of Xi study, the gains made by the students have had a great impact on their future lives and careers.

Nowadays, the students of the foreign mission class have experienced the tempering of life, the baptism of the years, and have achieved success in their careers, becoming the pillars and backbone of the unit, and of course, they have also accumulated rich social resources.

In the summer of 2019, Ms. Chen Jie, who was in Yunnan, took the initiative to contact her classmates, hoping to take the opportunity of more than 30 years to reunite, exchange and interact, review the old and learn the new, and look forward to the grand scene of reform and opening up and the great Chinese dream. Her invitation received a positive response from the students, Mr. Jingquan from Jiangxi and Ms. Bai Yun from Yunnan, and the enthusiastic response from the students scattered across the country, which made Chen Jie both excited and emotional!

The students took the initiative to discuss and determine the location, time, agenda and ...... of the meetingIn July of 2021, the students gathered in the Hulunbuir Prairie of Inner Mongolia with the roster at the time of admission, with rich career achievements, and with the passion of reunion after a long absence. This prairie, known as the "Pasture Paradise", is particularly uplifting and cheerful for the students with its open and far-reaching, endless, wind-blown grass and low cattle and sheep.

The reunion after 34 years of separation brings nostalgia, gratitude, hope and prospect to everyone. They complained to each other, exchanged parting feelings, watched the fiery and joyful dance of the Mongolian song and dance troupe and actively participated in it, setting off one craze after another. When parting, the students were reluctant to meet again next year!

Sure enough, in 2023, the students will once again relive the beautiful moment of getting together, this time in Yunnan Province, which is known as the "South of Caiyun".

Yunnan is a multi-ethnic province in the southwest border of China, where 26 ethnic groups coexist in harmony. Bai dance artist Yang Liping launched a large-scale original song and dance collection "Yunnan Reflection" as the chief choreographer and leading actor, reflecting the affectionate praise of this land. In order to promote this dance at home and abroad, Tenzin, then deputy secretary of the Yunnan Provincial Party Committee, named Chen Jie, a classmate of Peking University's foreign propaganda class, as the head of the propaganda team in Beijing. This astute and capable woman lived up to expectations, in just one week, day and night editing and production of Yunnan's excellent national cultural resources and beautiful natural tourism resources, text materials and CD-ROMs, etc., she led the propaganda team personnel into Beijing in advance, to the ** foreign propaganda leading departments, major news ** and the world's major countries and regions in China News agencies and foreign reporters sent information, issued invitations, through the form of press conferences to widely publicize, in just three days, ** A total of more than 300 articles about "Yunnan Reflection" and Yunnan culture were broadcast with a number of ** in Beijing, opening a whirlwind. Known as the "Walking Folk Art Museum", "Yunnan Reflections" has been performed more than 6,000 times in more than 60 cities in China and 15 countries including the United States, Britain and Australia, becoming a far-reaching business card of Yunnan and China.

Opening up to the outside world and external propaganda have always been twin brothers", these are the words of Mr. Jing Quan's cautionary words in the book "Peking University's Foreign Propaganda" -- of course, this is in terms of the entire China's external propaganda cause. In the provinces, municipalities, autonomous regions and more grass-roots units and departments, their outreach also includes places outside their own territory. A relatively successful case in this regard is Guilin City in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. After Liu Chunhui, a graduate of Peking University's Foreign Propaganda Class, took office as the director of the Guilin Foreign Propaganda Office, he organically combined overseas propaganda with foreign regional propaganda, set up books and periodicals propaganda points in foreign-related hotels, hotels, scenic spots and scenic spots in the city, and presented or sold "Beijing Weekly", "People's China", "China Pictorial", "China Construction", "China Report", "People's ** (Overseas Edition)" and local opening-up policies, economic construction achievements, In just two years, nearly 160,000 copies (volumes) of various literary versions of promotional materials have been displayed and presented to inbound tourists, and nearly 300,000 yuan of books and periodicals have been sold. It is precisely because of Liu Chunhui's active and hard work that the Foreign Propaganda Office of the Guilin Municipal Party Committee, which he presides, was rated as an advanced unit for foreign book and periodical propaganda by the Propaganda Department of the Guangxi District Party CommitteeLijiang Hotel won the title of National Advanced Unit of Foreign Propaganda and Silver Pigeon Award at the 1st and 2nd National Advanced Conference on Foreign Literature and Periodical Publicity. There are 5 foreign book and periodical displayers in Guilin who have been rated as national advanced individuals.

The nomination of world heritage sites is a major activity implemented since the reform and opening up. World Heritage is divided into five categories: World Cultural Heritage, World Natural Heritage, World Natural and Cultural Heritage, World Cultural Landscape and Intangible Cultural Heritage. China joined the World Heritage Convention Organization in 1985 and began the process of "inscription" in 1987, and has so far acquired 56 World Heritage sites, and "Quanzhou: World Maritime Commerce and Trade Center of Song and Yuan Dynasty China" is the last and 56th World Heritage Site.

Quanzhou's "World Heritage Application" has been going on for 20 years. Zhuang Renzhe, a student of Peking University's foreign mission class, is "the earliest participant and witness". At that time, Zhuang Renzhe, who was in charge of the Foreign Propaganda Office of the Quanzhou Municipal Party Committee, received a notice from the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee that since she was a student who graduated from the Foreign Propaganda Class of Peking University, she would be responsible for the reception of the UNESCO Maritime Silk Road delegation. The reason why the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization sent a special delegation to Quanzhou for investigation was because in 1974, an ancient Song Dynasty ship was discovered and excavated in Quanzhou Bay, which was loaded with Song Dynasty ceramics and other export items, which was called "one of the most important discoveries in the history of Chinese natural science" by the British historian of science Dr. Joseph Needham. Receiving the task of receiving the delegation, Zhuang Renzhe and her colleagues began preparations eight months ago: decorating the museum, producing feature films, writing manuscripts, and distributing special editions ......Concentrate on publicizing the history and reality of Quanzhou, and its status as an important node of the Maritime Silk Road. After the UNESCO delegation came to Quanzhou, Zhuang Renzhe accompanied the whole process, explained in detail, and the experts of the delegation were particularly satisfied, they agreed with Quanzhou's status as "the main birthplace of the Maritime Silk Road" and "Museum of World Religions", and finally, at the 44th session of the World Heritage Conference, Quanzhou passed the formal review and was included in the World Heritage List.

After that, Quanzhou further competed for the selection of "Best Chinese Charming City" organized by CCTV, and Zhuang Renzhe assumed the responsibility of creative planning. How to do a good job in creative planning?She thought of the famous Taiwanese writer Mr. Yu Guangzhong. Yu Guangzhong is a native of Quanzhou, with profound thoughts and beautiful writing, and was named one of the "Top Ten Modern Chinese Writers" in 2003. Yu Guangzhong is not only brilliant in writing, but also deeply in love with the homeland, Zhuang Renzhe called ** to Mr. Yu in Taiwan, and asked Yu Guangzhong to be the recommender of Quanzhou's charming city. Yu Guangzhong readily agreed, and soon wrote "Recommended Words":

How many springs have bloomed?

How many years will the East and West Towers look at each other?

How many people have walked across the Luoyang Bridge?

How many ships sailed out of Quanzhou Bay?

The sea route of silk anchored from this place, and the cabins were loaded with silk and porcelain, and also attracted merchant ships from hundreds of countries, and became the "largest port in the East" in the Song and Yuan dynasties, and the east and west of Alexandria in Egypt.

Yu Guangzhong and his beloved wife made a special trip to Quanzhou to send the written "recommendation words" to Zhuang Renzhe, and the next day, Zhuang Renzhe flew to Beijing with Mr. Yu to ......

With a wealth of physical objects and documents, and the pious recommendation of Mr. Yu, Quanzhou stood out among more than 100 participating cities in the country and won the glory of "China's Charming City".

Situ Shuang is the wife of Wan Yongxiang, the Chinese ambassador to Morocco, and Jing Quan devotes a lot of pen and ink to his relationship with Situ Shuang. Situ Shuang's father, Situ Qiao, graduated from Yenching University in his early years, and was a close friend of Mr. Lu Xun. Situ Shuang's mother is a talented girl from Fudan University. She herself inherited the genes of her parents, and when she accompanied her husband to the Moroccan Embassy in the Czech Republic, she lectured on "Chinese Art History" in Africa, France, North America and other places, and was awarded the Knight of the Order of Merit by the King of Morocco and the French Palm Leaf Academic Medal. During the Anti-Japanese War, she fled to Jiujiang with her parents and two sisters, and climbed Lushan again in 1972, so she left a deep impression on Jiangxi. In 1991, at the invitation of Jiangxi Province, he organized a delegation of foreign envoys to Jiangxi to visit Jiangxi to inspect the achievements of reform and opening up. The envoys came to the conclusion that Jiangxi has beautiful scenery, is very rich in tourist and mineral resources, and has many things that are attractive to foreigners, and can "shout loudly, fight in, and stand still." Especially in Jingdezhen, Situ Shuang, who has been preaching Chinese art history for a long time, was particularly excited, she said that Moroccans are very fond of Jing porcelain, and there is even a factory for imitating Jing porcelain in Safi City. She first made two suggestions to Xu Jingquan, one is to hold a Jingdezhen ceramics exhibition in Morocco;Second, Jingdezhen and Shafei City have become sister cities to help promote ceramic cultural exchanges and cooperation between the two cities. Xu Jingquan reported these two suggestions to the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee and the Jingdezhen Municipal Party Committee, which attracted attention. After Situ Shuang, who was also a diplomat, went abroad again, he introduced Jiangxi's advantages and characteristic scenery and porcelain and other products to international friends in Morocco, France, the United States, Canada and Reunion Island, which aroused the interest of many foreigners. After listening to Situ Shuang's introduction, the former Moroccan executive minister took his wife and daughter to Jiangxi to inspect the production of porcelain, wood carving and bamboo furniture, and at the same time sought cooperation with manufacturers. After Situ Shuang's recommendation, the Moroccan Minister of Culture, Ben Issa, decided to invite Jingdezhen to participate in the 15th International Cultural Festival in the name of the country's Ministry of Culture.

With the efforts of Situ Shuang and her husband, Situ Shuang's idea of doing two things for Jiangxi was "completed".

The festival was held at the Moroccan Museum of Ceramics and the flags of Morocco and China were raised at the opening ceremony. Jingdezhen ceramic products were placed in the most prominent position in the first exhibition room, and the Moroccan Prime Minister personally visited the exhibition room (it is said that this is the first time that Morocco has held an international cultural festival). The Jiangxi Pavilion brought 240 pieces (sets) of 187 varieties to the exhibition, except for more than 20 pieces donated to the local disabled persons' association, the rest were all sold out. Based on this event, Xu Jingquan wrote two articles, "Envoys Abroad Look at Jiangxi" and "Ambassador's Wife in Jiangxi", which were published in ** and provincial ** respectively, among which the draft of "Envoys Abroad Look at Jiangxi" won the first prize of the first "Unity and Encouragement, Revitalization of Jiangxi" Good News Award.

Shenyang City, the birthplace of one dynasty and the capital of two generations of emperors, was known as "Shengjing" in ancient times, and Shengjing contains rich cultural heritage, such as the former Qing culture, Shuaifu culture, religious culture, quyi culture, sunbird totem culture, etc., and the splendid folk culture is the "root and soul" of the city. The Northeast Yangge is a magical fusion of farming and safari culture in this black land and shamanic sacrificial songs and dances. Over the years, the comedian Zhao Benshan, who has brought joy to the people of the whole country at the Spring Festival Gala, has become a master of dancing Yangge, playing erhu, blowing suona, throwing handkerchiefs, beating jade, singing small songs, and turning small hats in two people, and has become a master of promoting Northeast folk culture. Northeast Yangge is represented by Shenyang Yangge, which is famous all over the world for its characteristics of "dancing waves, beautiful waves, and pretty roots", which is humorous and popular. In the upsurge of "cultural stage, economic singing", Xu Jianmin of the Foreign Propaganda Office of the Shenyang Municipal Party Committee of Liaoning Province came up with the idea of holding the International Yangko Festival in Shenyang. He reported his ideas to his superiors and received full support, and the plan he drew up was also approved and approved by the municipal party committee and the municipal government. Soon, the city issued a document and decided to hold the Shenyang International Yangko Festival in autumn every year from 1991. As soon as the document arrived, it stirred up a thousand waves in this old industrial city. The aunts of each Yangge team rushed to tell each other and enthusiastically signed up, and the warm current like a spring breeze warmed this thousand-year-old city.

Xu Jianmin, as the deputy director of the Propaganda Department of the organizing committee, is busy coordinating with relevant departments every day, planning and arranging the opening ceremony, promoting the parade of floats, inviting international and domestic companies to come for interviews, compiling, filming and printing external propaganda feature films and related books and fold-outs, publishing dynamic briefings, and writing speeches and press releases of leaders at all levels......During this period, Xu Jianmin also proposed that the Miss Rose Contest in Shenyang China and the Shenyang Nikon Cup International Photography Contest should be held at the same time during the Yangge Festival. For a time, beauties from all over the world gathered in Shenyang, bringing lively vitality to ShenyangIt adds a beautiful color to the Yangge Festival. Xu Jianmin and his subordinates only 4 people, so much work did not crush them, they worked day and night, even sleepless, devoted themselves to the preparatory work, when the International Yangko Festival officially opened, Wulihe Stadium thundered, countless drums beat the mountain shake, ** hovering in the air, scattering the rain of flowers, 2300 carrier pigeons (symbolizing the 2300-year history of the founding of Shenyang) soared in the rain of flowers. More than 100 Yangko and dance troupes from all over the world performed their programs passionately, and more than 500 reporters interviewed the Yangko Festival. Finally, according to statistics, the total number of articles published at home and abroad is more than 20,000, which has attracted the world's attention to Shenyang. During the 10 days of the Yangge Festival, a series of economic and trade activities such as the China Shenyang International Economic and Technical Cooperation Fair, the China International Equipment Manufacturing Industry Expo, the China Shenyang Northeast Asia International Economic and Trade Cooperation Fair, and the China Shenyang International Automobile Exhibition were carried out at the same time, reaching a transaction amount of more than 2 billion US dollars, which became a major highlight of Shenyang's economic indicators that year. Since then, the China Shenyang International Yangko Festival has been held for many consecutive sessions, which has brought effective promotion to the economic development of Liaoning Province.

If it is said that holding the China Shenyang International Yangko Festival in Shenyang is a first try, then holding the "World Heritage Expo" in this city is another initiative of the people of Shenyang, and the creative person of this initiative also comes down to Xu Jianmin.

On this day, Song Qi, deputy mayor of Shenyang City in charge of foreign affairs, asked Xu Jianmin to ride with him to the Qipanshan Scenic Area for investigationMany comrades believe that they have reached the ceiling and are really out of options. Xu Jianmin thought for a while and said: Now, we all talk about brand effect, the largest and most valuable brand in the world today is the United Nations, can we use the brand of the United Nations?

Song Qi praised Xu Jianmin's idea, and Director Liu, who was with him of the development zone, said that it would be necessary to add a content about world heritage to the World Expo Park, make the project bigger, and "strive to go to the United Nations"!When the motion was submitted to the Shenyang Municipal Office for deliberation and approval, a resolution was formed to "bid for the China Shenyang World Cultural and Natural Heritage Expo" with the purpose of "inheriting civilization and harmonious co-ownership". The implementation of the resolution is, of course, to mobilize all departments and units in the city to do their best, and there is no doubt that the external propaganda task will be undertaken by the external propaganda office in charge of Xu Jianmin. In less than 5 months after the opening of the World Expo Park, the preparatory team mobilized the efforts of the whole city to move 830 World Heritage sites (2007 data) distributed in 138 World Heritage countries around the world to Shenyang.

The Municipal Heritage Exhibition Hall is divided into Hall 1 and Hall 2, covering an area of 7,000 square meters and 7,400 square meters respectively. When the opening ceremony of the World Heritage Conference was held in Phoenix Square, more than 30,000 Chinese and foreign audiences attended, and Christian, Deputy Director of the UNESCO World Heritage Center, read out a congratulatory letter from Koichiro Matsuura, Director-General of UNESCO, at the opening ceremony, envoys from 57 countries in China attended the opening ceremony, more than 60 countries and international organizations sent congratulatory letters and messages, and more than 1,000 Chinese and foreign journalists visited the scene. Shenyang has once again attracted the attention of the world.

The ice city of Harbin is a city that belongs to winter. Since 1985, the Harbin International Ice and Snow Festival has been held every year here, attracting millions of visitors from all over the country and around the world. The opening day of the Ice and Snow Festival on January 5 every year has become a grand festival for the people of Harbin, and the Harbin Municipal People's Congress has set January 5 as a public holiday in the form of legislation, which is the only city in China that has one more day off than the national statutory public holiday. The specific time to participate in the planning and proposal of the Ice and Snow Festival is Zheng Ying, a former cadre of the Foreign Propaganda Office of the Harbin Municipal Party Committee, a student of the first phase of Peking University's external propaganda, and this day is Zheng Ying's birthday.

The Harbin Ice and Snow Festival is closely linked with Zheng Ying, which is a symbol of the students of the first phase of Peking University's external propaganda to closely connect the noble cause of external propaganda with themselves. Some of them have been engaged in external propaganda work all their lives until they retire, such as Xu Jianmin, a student from Shenyang, and Liu Chunhui, a student from Guilin. Many trainees have made outstanding achievements in external propaganda posts, and have made outstanding contributions to local economic construction, expanding local influence, and establishing a good local image.

Lu Chunming of the Foreign Propaganda Office of the Lanzhou Municipal Party Committee in Gansu Province has worked in the external propaganda post for 26 years, and in his hands, he has upgraded a "three-no" (no staff, no post, and no staff) unit to a department-level department. He did external propaganda work, quite creative, he said: Lanzhou has no food, there is a bowl of noodles, called beef noodles;There is no culture in Lanzhou, there is a book called "Reader";There are no antiquities in Lanzhou, there is a bridge, called the Yellow River Centennial Iron Bridge;There is a mother in Lanzhou, waiting for you to come and see her, she is called "Mother of the Yellow River" - quietly, she shows the unique characteristics of Lanzhou. Now, when people go to Lanzhou, they must see the "three stones" of Lanzhou (that is, the sculpture of the mother of the Yellow River, the centennial monument of Zhongshan Iron Bridge and the "carbon compensation memorial forest stele" standing in the waterwheel Expo Park of Lanzhou scenic spot) are closely related to Lu Chunming, so Mr. Jingquan believes that Lu Chunming is a meritorious man who stirred up Lanzhou and promoted Lanzhou.

Next, we would like to mention an awe-inspiring name: Zhang Guimei.

The book reads: Zhang Guimei, secretary of the Party branch of Lijiang Huaping Girls' Senior High School in Yunnan Province, is an outstanding representative of thousands of people's teachers in China, and an outstanding representative of Chinese women.

And "this major example is that the Yunnan Provincial Women's Federation pushed her to the medal awarding stage of the Golden Hall of the Great Hall of the People."

In 2004, Chen Jie, a student of the first phase of external propaganda, was appointed vice chairman of the Yunnan Provincial Women's Federation, in charge of propaganda work.

She has worked in the Foreign Propaganda Office for many years, has a special sensitivity to typical characters, and has a pair of "discerning eyes" that grasp typical people. Zhang Guimei has been teaching for more than 30 years and has been working diligently for poor children of all ethnic groups in mountainous areas. She suffered from a variety of diseases, but she was frugal, using most of her salary income, bonuses and money donated by people to help poor children complete their studies, and used 300,000 yuan in cash to build the teaching building of the national primary school. When the Huaping County "Children's Home" orphanage was established, she also volunteered to serve as the director of the hospital, and over the years, she has donated 450,000 yuan to poor students, disaster victims and education. On June 29, 2021, the "July 1st" award was held in the Golden Hall of the Great Hall of the People, and Zhang Guimei was one of the 29 recipients. When announcing her awards, the host said this: Zhang Guimei, an outstanding people's teacher who lights up the life dreams of rural girls, promoted the establishment of a free girls' high school for girls in poor mountainous areas, and helped nearly 2,000 girls in poor mountainous areas realize their college dreams. She dragged the sick body, worked selflessly, forged her soul, and the children affectionately called Mama Zhang.

Zhang Guimei has successively won the titles of "National 38 Red Flag Bearer", "National Model of Teaching and Educating People", "Model of the Times", "Person of the Year Who Moved China in 2020" and "Top Ten Female Heroes of Yunnan Province". The selection of the "Top Ten Female Heroes of Yunnan Province" was initiated and promoted by Chen Jie.

Zhang Guimei's deeds were made into a movie, and the famous film actor Haiqing did not charge a penny to play the role of Zhang Guimei, which touched the audience, and Zhang Guimei was called "Principal of the Burning Lamp".

There are many outstanding examples among the students of the first phase of Peking University's external propaganda. In addition to their outstanding performance at work, they also have many achievements in their personal careers. Ni Xuejian, from Bayi Film Studio, is the only active-duty soldier in the class who is recommended by the military system to wear a military uniform. His hometown of Huai'an, Jiangsu Province, has produced many celebrities in history, such as Han Xin, Marquis of Huaiyin during the struggle between Chu and Han, Liang Hongyu, the heroine of the Southern Song Dynasty, and Guan Tianpei, the national hero of the Qing Dynasty.

In 1968, Ni Xuejian, who had just turned 18, joined the army and was promoted to tank commander in 9 months. He joined the party in July 1970 and was transferred to Bayi Film Studio in September. During his work in the studio, he went to the Beijing National Library on Wenjin Street on the west side of Beihai Park for 13 consecutive years to read and recharge, made hundreds of thousands of words of reading notes, and published a large number of essays, essays, creative essays, director's notes, reviews, etc., and participated in the filming of many films such as the movie "Shining Red Star", and later changed careers to become a director. Over the past decades, Ni Xuejian has served as the director, chief director, executive director, and chief director of more than 120 film and television works (episodes), and many of his documentaries have won the National Film Award and the Chinese Film Golden Eagle Award. In 1991, two of the four films he wrote and directed won the National ** Award, and Ding Qiao, then Vice Minister of the Ministry of Radio, Film and Television and head of the National Leading Group for Major Themes, praised him and said: Won two excellent film awards in the same year, a rare "twin".

Reading "Peking University External Propaganda Students", I feel that Mr. Jing Quan is writing a group of heroes, and readers can feel that Mr. Jing Quan wrote the book "Foreign Propaganda" with enthusiasm. This is the first time that a literary work has been written in the form of reportage to reflect the theme of external propaganda, and it is also the first time that a work that describes the collective deeds of a class. In this sense, Mr. Jingquan's book is an innovation and breakthrough. Mr. Jing Quan used passionate words to introduce to the whole society the advanced typical group portrait of such a special class in the first phase of Peking University's external propaganda, so that more people can understand and remember this history, and understand that China (Peking University) once had such a class and such a group of people. As a matter of fact, these "old foreign propaganda" are also a microcosm of China's entire foreign propaganda front, and they have made positive contributions to promoting China's reform, opening up, and economic construction in China's new historical period, and to accelerating the world's understanding of China and China's going global. They have created many wonderful, vivid and touching stories, their stories can not be finished, they do not forget their original intentions, brave new roads, and forge ahead with the will and style of forging ahead have set an example for those who come after them. The outstanding achievements in foreign propaganda created by them with their youthful wisdom and sweat have added a strong and colorful stroke to the history of local foreign propaganda during the period of China's foreign propaganda.

The lessons of Mr. Xu Jingquan's book to readers are profound, and the inspiration I have gained from it is difficult to compare with ordinary books.
