In order to review his century-old life and give the world a final explanation, Mr. Ji Xianlin personally wrote to Premier Wen Jiabao, requesting that Professor Cai Degui of Shandong University be appointed as his academic assistant to assist him in the oral history work. He made oral recordings 75 times. This is the first time that Mr. Ji Xianlin, a master of Chinese studies who is nearly 100 years old, has systematically, comprehensively, objectively and truly told his life experience.
For the first time, Mr. Ji Xianlin recounted in detail the details of his family life with his aunt and his wife Peng Dehua, his interactions with Imgard during his stay in Germany, his various experiences of being pursued by his sister who was the belle of Peking University after he taught at Peking University, and his interactions with several secretaries that attracted great attention. These were all disclosed for the first time. All these are the truest expressions of feelings of a centenarian in the last stage of his life. The historical figures involved in the book are also unprecedented.
