Ren Zhiqiang | Elegant Ambition – Memoirs of Ren Zhiqiang

Before deciding to write a memoir, I was struggling: should I make my private life and inner feelings public? Should I wisely avoid questioning my soul? Would it become a kind of “confession” because of my “excessive” memories, and should I hide some “embarrassing things” in my heart and never make them public, so as to reduce endless gossip.

However, I really want everyone to know that I am also a flesh-and-blood person, with both bitterness and grievances. Behind a stern-looking face, there are also “unspeakable” weaknesses. The purpose is to ruthlessly write down the stories of success and failure.

——Ren Zhiqiang

This book is Ren Zhiqiang’s only autobiography so far. Different from the one-sided interpretations of the media or other works, this book was written by Ren Zhiqiang himself, who revised it several times, recalling Ren Zhiqiang’s 60 years of growth.
