Li Shuxiang, an 85-year-old man living in Changsha, began penning down a diary in 1941 and has recorded his life with more than 13 million words.
Born and brought up in Changsha, Li embarked upon his diary writing at age 10 when he was a fifth grade student at a private primary school in Changsha county. The 85 diary books he has kept ever since tell not only his own life story, but also the changes of the city and country over a time span of 74 years.
