The "My Forty Years" series includes three volumes: "Forty Years and Forty People", "Forty Years of Home and Country", and "Forty Years of Experience in China". Three typical groups, namely Chinese, overseas Chinese, and foreigners in China, write their own stories about themselves and reform and opening up. They observe China's reform and opening up from a global coordinate system and reflect the great history and glorious achievements of China's reform and opening up in the past forty years with different perspectives and vivid and rich personal experiences. There are 40 characters in each volume, a total of 120 protagonists, distributed in more than 20 countries around the world, working in hundreds of different fields. Their "personal histories" constitute a flesh-and-blood "historical record" of reform and opening up. The forty stories in "Forty Years of China" are told by forty foreigners who have close ties with reform and opening up. They came to China at different stages of reform and opening up, studied, lived, worked, and started businesses in China. They experienced and witnessed the 40-year history of reform and opening up. Through close contact and deep integration, they developed a sense of identity and belonging to China, and served as a bridge and link between China and the world in their respective fields. Their stories vividly demonstrate the great achievements and global significance of China's reform and opening up.
