This book is a tribute to China's 30 years of reform (1978-2008). The best way to comprehend a period of history is to provide a record of the lives of various people in this period.
This collection of articles unfolds the thirty years of history through the recounting of people's life experience. The 30 individuals selected for it include Yuan Geng, one of the earliest contributors to the country's measures of opening and reform; and private entrepreneurs who distinguished themselves in the transformative process and even today remain supportive towards the sound and rapid development of the national economy. Besides, most of the stories are about ordinary people from all walks of life and who live under vastly different circumstances. Readers with firsthand experience of this segment of Chinese history will almost certainly find their own more ambitious, soulful selves in those people.
