1. The Party's Interests Come First
The Life of Xi Zhongxun, Father of Xi Jinping
A concise biography of Xi Zhongxun, father of Xi Jinping, tracing his seven-decade career in the Chinese Communist Party—from revolutionary years and senior roles alongside leaders like Zhou Enlai to his work initiating early reform policies. Drawing on documents and interviews, the book examines how he balanced personal convictions with the Party’s demands and how his experiences illuminate the CCP’s organizational power and its human consequences, while outlining the political legacy that influenced his son.
