From the account materials “my evil first half of life ” to “the whole ” was released, the history of the deletion and supplement in a singing and sigh. Compared with the 1964 edition of “The Book”, the total number of published books was 160,000 words, many of which were invisible to the past. For example, “the whole” restore the children of Wan Rong was born into the boiler burned content, the text was deleted the reason is too cruel, afraid of causing foreign readers feel unpleasant.
