劲雨煦风



Intro from Hudong Baike (hudong.com):

"本书记述了唐家璇同志在1998—2008年间担任外交部长及国务委员期间经历的11件外交大事,文字朴实生动,有丰富的事件背景材料和诸多首次公开的外交细节,每个事件之后都有唐家璇同志的深刻思考和理性分析,这些外交大事,在一定程度上勾画出了这一时期中国外交的主要脉络。体现了中国随着综合国力的提升,在世界外交舞台上愈来愈发挥着重大作用。"


Wah! So damn zai, right?

Unfortunately, the translated english copy (pictured above) that i'm chugging through now seems to be missing the "simple, yet vivid (朴实生动)" language. Three chapters in and i can't find much "deep thought (深刻思考)" or "rational analysis 理性分析" either. Something must have gotten  really lost in translation, or this giant tome must be too high level for me, i.e. the country bumpkin of a noob without a non-erroneous historical perspective due to a "biased history education and family influence". Or something like that.

Guess i'll give up before i drown in his laundry list of "undeniable objective historical facts".
