The Man Who Changed China: The Life and Legacy of Jiang Zemin is a biography of former Chinese leader Jiang Zemin by Robert Lawrence Kuhn. It was published in 2005, in English and Chinese. Facilitated by Kuhn's long-term partner, Adam Zhu, the book was the first biography of a living Chinese leader published in mainland China where it was the best-selling book of 2005. Its successful release garnered attention from Chinese media and the international press. The book was criticized as "propaganda" by some commentators.
