Menționez că nu aș fi citit niciodată probabil o carte a lui Xi Jinping dacă aș fi aflat de ea în alt context, însă aceasta mi s-a oferit în dar ca urmare a unei vizite la Ambasada Chinei.

Punctul slab al acestei cărți e faptul că multitudinea eseurilor nu interesează publicul general, ci ar trebui să fi fost facută o selecție pentru a evidenția cele mai esențiale și importante gânduri ale acestui lider socialist. E o antologie suficientă pentru a înțelege modul prin care liderul a dorit să dezvolte China și partidul socialist și ideile din spatele abordărilor sale, însă o alegere restrictivă ar fi fost mai benefică.

“Un lider înțelept acordă atenție artei de a conduce, știe ce este important, are prioritățile clar definite, stăpânește legitățile, stabilește ritmul de muncă și gestionează problemele dificile cu ușurință.”

“Lectura și studiul vor deveni o cale importantă pentru transformarea modului de gândire și întărirea autocultivării și o metodă eficientă pentru purificarea sufletului și cultivarea unei înalte ținute morale.
Lectura trebuie să devină cu adevărat un mod de viață, o obligație profesională, o aspirație a sufletului și o stare de spirit; toate cunoștințele benefice, toată cultura curată își vor găsi loc in mintea și inima noastrã, vor deveni o parte a sângelui nostru și se vor regăsi in actele de guvernare.”

Let's say it clearly: It is excessive, the book collects every speech Xi Jinping made as Communist Party Secretary and Governor of Zhejiang, short texts of what he said every other day in those years, without filtering them for their real relevance. I suppose that those really valuable ones are in turn in one of the 4 volumes of his selected works. Of this voluminous book of Xi Jinping's Zhejiang era, I think there are no more than 15 worthwhile ones among the 200 that were included.

看起来是短篇合集，每篇都很短，有一些文章讲得不错，读后很有感触，主要是关于团结，领导等方面的。
