本书反映了作者37年间穿梭于中国和非洲两地的所作所为、所见所闻和所思所想。追随作者的脚步,读者可以欣赏到非洲大地壮美的自然风光,感受到那里古朴淳厚的风土人情,领略到丰富的历史地理知识和许多令人大开眼界的人文故事。
但这本回忆录远不限于个人的工作经历和人生感悟,作者以其亲身经历为基点,纵横拓展,以简洁平实的笔触、独特的视角、丰富的材料,写出了新中国对非经贸波澜壮阔的历史进程。作者有如一位穿越于历史与现实之间的友好使者,展示了一幅幅引人入胜的中非友谊历史画卷,让读者看到了中国众多的对非工作者的奋斗奉献,看到中非人民之间的深情厚谊,更看到了半个多世纪以来中非友好合作取得的多层次、全方位,意义重大、影响深远的卓越成就。

Benedetto Croce says, “All history is contemporary history.”
Writing today’s history is never easy. Nonetheless, we should face
the challenge and seek lessons from contemporary history in order
to be better prepared and to move forward towards the future.
This book records the author Wei Jianguo’s doings, experiences
and thoughts in the 37 years from 1972 to 2008. Through Jianguo’s
memoir, readers see Africa’s spectacular natural landscape,
understand its pristine customs and traditions, learn of its rich
history and geography, and become aware of numerous touching
stories.
Based on his work experience, Wei Jianguo has extended his
perspective to the entire history of New China’s economic and trade
relations with Africa from a unique point of view, with rich
contents and in a straightforward style. Like a friendship envoy
shuttling between the past and the present, he leads us to
appreciate the skills of our colleagues working arduously in
Africa, to see the profound friendship between the Chinese and
African peoples, and to see the far-reaching significance of 60
years of remarkable achievements in comprehensive friendly
Sino-African cooperation.
