This biography, written by a reporter from Sanlian Life Weekly based on on-site interviews and rich historical materials, presents the life of I.M. Pei as an architect and a cultural bridge-crosser. Through interviews with Pei's family, assistants, and project participants, the author reconstructs the intellectual currents and challenges behind his architectural career and the creation of his works, paying particular attention to how Pei explored the timelessness of architecture amidst the tension between Eastern and Western cultures. The book not only showcases Pei's architectural achievements but also presents how he used architecture to address themes such as power, glory, memory, and identity, demonstrating an inclusive cultural vision. It is both a chronicle of I.M. Pei's architecture and a unique window into observing the cultural clashes and historical changes of the 20th century.
