As the deadline for the manuscript approached, the North Korean leader Kim Il-sung died suddenly, and I became concerned that Deng Xiaoping might also die before my warning could be issued. As a result I didn't properly review the overall structure of the book.
在快要交稿時，突然北韓金日成死了，我更怕鄧小平也在這個時候死，來不及示警，最後也沒有好好在整個結構上調整。
