"China has always been one of the main lines of my life" said by the former Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd in the recently released Chinese edition of his biography Not For The Faint-hearted. The book not only recounts his journey from a cattle rancher with no background to the Prime Minister of Australia, but also recalls his inseparable relationship with China.
