Benedetto Croce says, “All history is contemporary history.”
Writing today’s history is never easy. Nonetheless, we should face
the challenge and seek lessons from contemporary history in order
to be better prepared and to move forward towards the future.
This book records the author Wei Jianguo’s doings, experiences and
thoughts in the 37 years from 1972 to 2008. Through Jianguo’s
memoir, readers see Africa’s spectacular natural landscape,
understand its pristine customs and traditions, learn of its rich
history and geography, and become aware of numerous touching
stories.
Based on his work experience, Wei Jianguo has extended his
perspective to the entire history of New China’s economic and trade
relations with Africa from a unique point of view, with rich
contents and in a straightforward style. Like a friendship envoy
shuttling between the past and the present, he leads us to
appreciate the skills of our colleagues working arduously in
Africa, to see the profound friendship between the Chinese and
African peoples, and to see the far-reaching significance of 60
years of remarkable achievements in comprehensive friendly
Sino-African cooperation.

章节摘录

版权页：   I grew up in Nanjing, known as "a city of mountains and forests" by the Yangtze River, and a city that offers resplendent natural scen- ery of hills and waters within its walls, and a graceful landscape of trees and springs in its busy streets. Speaking of the beautiful scen- ery in the province of Jiangsu where Nanjing is located would im- mediately call to mind the graceful Jinshan Mountain, the majestic Jiaoshan Mountain, and the Beigu Mountain, inspiration to genera- tions of ancient poets. My dreams should have been set along a roll- ing river like the Yangtze, or in a town south of the Yangtze dotted with small bridges over a flowing river lined by charming houses or apricot blossoms in spring rain. As a teenager, I was confused by this Arab world that appeared in my dream. Although my rationalist world view prevented me from believing in superstitions, I could not help wondering if this dream had some meaning. It was a remarkable coincidence that, years later, I found myself in Casablanca, which bore a striking resemblance to the visions of my dream. I was filled with excitement, wondering if this was a destiny that had somehow been predetermined by fate. In any case, I made up my mind to pur- sue my career here and repay my hometown for its nurture and my country for its education, both of which had helped me mature into a capable man. To get to grips with the work at the Commercial Section as quick- ly as possible, I spent a lot of time familiarizing myself with the local economy, commerce, and trade, and with other local circumstances. I was mainly responsible for assisting my superiors in receiving guestsand introducing to Morocco Chinese products and the Chinese Export Commodities Fair （Canton Fair）. I also went out with my colleagues to do field work. As I progressed, my knowledge of the geography, economy and politics of Morocco, and the history of its ties with China, all grew steadily.
