There I was, way back in the year 1957 at the right corner of the photograph with my group of friends listening to Goh Keng Swee, at his election rally in Tanjong Pagar constituency.
早在 1957 年，我就在照片的右上角，和我的一群朋友在丹戎巴葛选区的竞选集会上听吴庆瑞演讲。
李光耀是现代历史上最有影响力的领导人之一。作为新加坡的第一任总理，他带领国家从 1965 年的独立转变为一个繁荣的现代化城市国家。但也许最重要的是，李光耀是一位领导大师。他明白建设一个成功的国家需要的不仅仅是他自己的远见和努力，他孜孜不倦地努力打造一支可以帮助他实现新加坡目标的团队。

In English: Lee Kuan Yew is one of the most influential leaders in modern history. As Singapore’s first Prime Minister, he led the transformation of the country from independence in 1965 to a thriving modern city-state. But perhaps most importantly, Lee Kuan Yew was a master leader. He understands that building a successful nation requires more than just his own vision and hard work, and he has worked tirelessly to build a team that can help him achieve his Singapore goals.

Introduction · ·
★ “Founding Father of Singapore” Lee Kuan Yew’s latest autobiography。
★ The Chinese Simplified version was officially licensed for the first time.
★ Exclusive large number of pictures, showing the complete life of the author。
★整本回忆录作者不自觉地透露出成功领导者迥异于失败领导者的特质：智慧、支配力、自信、知识及活动力。李光耀对新加坡在世界上所处地位的判断，他对变化着的世界的判断等等都充满了睿智。他的支配力可以从一些小事上就可窥出端倪。李先生的自信主要表现在，他推行经过深思熟虑的政策都是坚定不移的，不为众人左右。他的特质决定了他具有神召一样的影响力，有表现奇迹和预见未来的超凡能力。
Throughout the memoir, the author unconsciously reveals the qualities that distinguish successful leaders from failed leaders: intelligence, dominance, self-confidence, knowledge, and mobility. Lee Kuan Yew is full of wisdom about Singapore’s place in the world, his judgment of the changing world, and so on. His dominance can be glimpsed in some small things. Mr. Lee’s self-confidence is mainly reflected in the fact that he is unwavering in his well-thought-out policies and is not influenced by others. His qualities dictate his calling-like influence and his extraordinary ability to perform miracles and foresee the future.

★时势造英雄与英雄造时势 李光耀天生对时势具有极度的敏感，他在律师事务所当见习律师时能顺势而上，立刻组建人民行动党，提出符合人民实际意愿的行动纲领，经过曲折的过程取得政权。他作为天才的领导人，又能率领新加坡人民勇往直前，化危机为转机，从而创造了新加坡今日辉煌的成就，造就了骄人的“时势”：
1954—1959 反殖民统治；
1960—1961 人民行动党党内斗争与分裂；
1963—1965 新、马合并与分裂；
1965 独立建国；
1965—1971 经济蓬勃发展；
1980至今 领导权转移并继续发挥强势的影响力。
Lee Kuan Yew was born with extreme sensitivity to the times, and when he was a trainee lawyer in a law firm, he was able to follow the trend and immediately formed the People’s Action Party, put forward a program of action in line with the actual wishes of the people, and obtained power through a tortuous process. As a genius leader, he was able to lead the people of Singapore to forge ahead and turn the crisis into a turning point, thus creating Singapore’s glorious achievements today and creating a proud “situation”:
1954-1959 Anti-colonial rule;
1960-1961 Intra-party struggle and division of the People’s Action Party;
1963-1965 Merger and split of Singapore and Malaysia;
1965 Independence of the state;
1965-1971 The economy boomed;
1980-present: Leadership shifts and continues to exert strong influence.

★该回忆录充分展示了李光耀先生的治国理念：
1.精英主义 新加坡受限于土地和自然资源的匮乏，所能凭借的只有人力资源。李光耀认为政府必须由国家的精英来领导，治国者必须是最优秀的人才。书中可见，为他提出种种报告书、受命成立专门委员会的都是极其优秀的人物：吴庆瑞、杜进才、黄庆新、何品等等。
比如，李光耀和自己的精英团队几十年在教育领域精心打造的十几所特学小学、特选中学，也都是在为国家培养未来的精英团队。
2.贤能制度 李光耀回忆录用很多篇幅向读者详尽展示了他为了贯彻精英主义，如何将新加坡构建成一个任人唯贤的社会，如何在政府体系中建构独特的成就去向的业绩政治，如何通过会考制度、奖学金辅助、出国深造等方式让表现优异、学有专精的优秀分子得以在出国留学后，进入政府机关服务。
Elitism: Singapore is limited by a lack of land and natural resources, and can only rely on human resources. Lee Kuan Yew believed that government must be led by the country’s elite, and that the people who govern the country must be the best talents. It can be seen in the book that the people who submitted various reports for him and were appointed to set up special committees were extremely excellent figures: Wu Qingrui, Du Jincai, Huang Qingxin, He Pin, and so on.
For example, the dozen special primary schools and special schools carefully built by Lee Kuan Yew and his elite team in the field of education for decades are also cultivating future elite teams for the country.
Meritocracy: Lee Kuan Yew’s memoirs devote many pages to readers how he built Singapore into a meritocratic society in order to implement elitism, how he built a unique merit-oriented performance politics in the government system, and how to enable outstanding performers with outstanding performance and specialization to enter government agencies after studying abroad through the examination system, scholarship assistance, and further study abroad.

3.实用主义 回忆录处处彰显了李光耀在其领导行为中强烈的实用主义倾向。一切都要对新加坡的发展有用、有利。这一原则确保了新加坡在冷战期间能够避免东西方意识形态对立下产生的各种干扰，致力于本国工业化和现代化的建设。
4.亚洲价值 回忆录中，李光耀一直通过各种事例（例如长子李显龙的成长过程）强调，新加坡只学习西方先进的科技和管理，绝不学习他们的颓废之风。他一直致力于通过华文和华文化来保持自己人民的根和血脉，让全民保持坚忍不拔和积极进取的中华优秀美德。他极力提倡儒家思想和伦理，甚至从幼稚园和小学就开始进行儒家思想的教育。
Pragmatism: The memoir highlights Lee Kuan Yew’s strong pragmatic tendencies in his leadership behaviour. Everything should be useful and beneficial to Singapore’s development. This principle ensured that Singapore was able to avoid the interference caused by the ideological confrontation between East and West during the Cold War and to devote itself to the industrialization and modernization of the country.
Asian Values: In his memoirs, Lee Kuan Yew emphasized, through various examples, such as the upbringing of his eldest son, Lee Hsien Loong, that Singapore only learns from advanced Western technology and management, and never from their decadence. He has always been committed to maintaining the roots and bloodline of his people through Chinese language and culture, so that the whole people can maintain the excellent Chinese virtues of perseverance and positive progress. He was a strong advocate of Confucianism and ethics, even from kindergarten and elementary school.

★ 双语政策极大提升了新加坡的经济和国力。这不仅是教育兴国的成功范例，更是李光耀先生早在五六十年代就洞见了的凝聚社会人心的利器！
是双语教育对新加坡人民影响至深，帮助巨大。掌握英语，可以打开全球视野，没有语言障碍，顺利地与不同国家的朋友打交道、做生意；掌握母语，则能增强他们对文化与根的认同，特别是坚忍不拔、自强不息的品格与价值观，令人终身受益。这是李先生的洞见。
中国的崛起已经带动世界经济向亚洲转移，掌握华文华语无疑是一种优势。此书的出版，不仅让大家全面了解50年来政府制定双语政策的苦心，也更加佩服李光耀先生过人的智慧和前瞻性的眼光。他坚持不懈学习华文的精神，值得年轻一代效仿、追随。
★另外书中还用相当的篇幅显示了李光耀其他一些治国之道，例如建立廉洁、高效的政府，维护种族和谐，对外开放，全民教育等等
The bilingual policy has greatly enhanced Singapore’s economy and national strength. This is not only a successful example of rejuvenating the country through education, but also a weapon that Mr. Lee Kuan Yew saw as early as the fifties and sixties to unite the hearts of the people!
It is bilingual education that has a profound impact on the people of Singapore and has helped tremendously. Mastering English can open up a global vision, no language barrier, and smoothly deal with and do business with friends from different countries; Mastering their mother tongue strengthens their cultural identity and roots, especially their perseverance and self-improvement character and values, which will benefit them for life. This is Mr. Lee’s insight.
China’s rise has led to a shift in the world economy to Asia, and mastering Mandarin is undoubtedly an advantage. The publication of this book not only gives everyone a comprehensive understanding of the government’s painstaking efforts in formulating the bilingual policy over the past 50 years, but also admires Mr. Lee Kuan Yew’s extraordinary wisdom and forward-looking vision. His spirit of perseverance in learning Chinese is worthy of emulation and follow-up by the younger generation.
★ In addition, the book devotes considerable space to some of Lee Kuan Yew’s other ways of governing the country, such as establishing a clean and efficient government, maintaining racial harmony, opening up to the outside world, and education for all.
