About the Author

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790), one of America's most illustrious Founding Fathers, was a polymath whose life embodied the Enlightenment ideals of ingenuity, self-improvement, and civic virtue. Born in Boston to a modest family, he rose from humble apprentice printer to renowned inventor, diplomat, and statesman, contributing to the Declaration of Independence and the framing of the U.S. Constitution. His autobiography, a timeless classic, chronicles his journey from youthful escapades to philosophical reflections on morality, industry, and the pursuit of happiness, offering enduring lessons in personal and public life. Translated into Chinese by Li Zixiu, this bilingual edition makes Franklin's wisdom accessible to modern readers, inspiring generations with his wit, wisdom, and relentless curiosity.
