He will go down in history as one of Asia's most famous (or infamous) statesmen. "The Singapore Story" tells one side of the story - Lee's. Former Singaporean prime minister Lee Kuan Yew has long been acclaimed for his outspoken persona and alert and thorough intellect. However, it is not certain that he is fully aware of his impact (or maybe he is) on other people - specially on Tunku Abdul Rahman. With this, the inaugural volume of his autobiography, he also proves himself as an charming and pleasant narrator - and therein lies the problem. The tone of the book is almost benign - but was her really. His tale begins as an distinguished student from a non pretentious bourgeois, English speaking home (this proves problematic in the future as Lee makes his way around the Chinese speaking communities)...

读后感

第一次看这本书时，觉得它主要偏向于讲述新加坡的经济发展，对于民生及社会方面则较少提及，于是有点觉得这本书不够接地气，就丢在一边没继续看下去。 后来恰好是李总理逝世，这让我想要了解李先生的生平及从政经历。 这一看不得了，根本停不下来。 先把《风雨独立路》看完...  

This is the second memoir of Lee Kuan Yew, published in 2000. A fairly thick one, purchased from Amazon China (quite a surprise that they have it in store), but worth reading. Binding is not decent, however, the structure is clear and appealing to readers. ...  

有人是这样评价李光耀的，让他管理新加坡，太屈才了。 这本书中，有这样一段描写，让人印象深刻。 李光耀说，每次他的车行至小学，正好放学，学生从学校中涌出，他总是忧心忡忡，因为他不知道，这些小孩在独立以后的新加坡，是否能有工作，过上体面的生活。 不管后人怎样评...  

"On that 9th day of August 1965, I had started out with great trepidation on a journey along an unmarked road to an unknown destination." 四十年前，李光耀也不知道新加坡成为今天这个样子。 昨天和今天，我们也不知道中国未来会变成什么样子一样。三十年后，希望我...

"... look, I'm an empiricist. I'm not an ideologue. I don't believe in theories. I read about theories. I'm interested in them. But when I have a problem, I'll just solve it, and I don't care what theories solve the problem. I leave that to the Ph.D. student to figure out." Entrepreneurship in its most sophisticated form

小时候听长辈闲谈，只知道新加坡的总理是中国人，其实并不对，Lee Kuan Yew更多地认为自己是Malaysian或者是Singaporian。我想Singapore与Malaysia，以及他们与Britain的关系并不是每个中国人都了解，我就不怎么了解。我总感觉不少人认为国内的汉人要比南洋的优等。
