About This Novel
An ordinary gardener from Suzhou, from the late 1950s to the early 1990s, worked in Diaoyutai under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Chinese embassies in Japan, Greece, Turkey, Russia and Switzerland for nearly half his life. In his life, he not only met many senior leaders of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, but also had many little-known legendary experiences, leaving behind many beautiful and precious memories. Being able to work in Beijing in the 1950s was definitely an enviable thing, not to mention that the transfer order came from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the country! Therefore, when Shang Jinsheng, a 22-year-old gardener from the Humble Administrator's Garden in Suzhou, was ordered to come to the Suzhou Foreign Affairs Office (today's Suzhou Foreign Affairs Office) and heard the leader ask him if he was willing to work at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Beijing, he was so excited that he could not speak.
