About the book: What Has Been Lost in Contemporary China? focuses on contemporary China since the 20th century. After a half century of humiliation by Western powers, followed by the inmost soul is cleaned by the socialist revolution, and the impact of globalization of the market economy over the past 30 years, China achieved its goals of modernizations and entered the G2 the ranks of the great powers with the ‘wounded Chinese culture’. In today’s China, social and moral deterioration, feasting and materialistic people everywhere. The author from a sociologist perspective and her own personal experiences by living socialist ideology revolution, reform and transnational period, with problem awareness to reflect on Chinese society, to find what Chinese traditional culture has been lost in in Contemporary China? To explore what kind of social changes happened in after China realised its goal of modernization? To recover what are the operating mechanism of China’s social system? What kind of value system needs to maintain the mechanism of contemporary China’s social system?
Background: Over the past 500 years, the contacts and exchanges between China and the West are more and more intensive, but the depth of their mutual understanding is still subject to the limitations of various factors. Due to differences in history, culture and ideological confrontation, there are still misunderstandings and even prejudices against each other. The rapid development of China after the implement of reform and opening up policy nearly four decades ago, it has attracted worldwide attention and expectation of China to take its share of responsibilities and obligations in all areas of international affairs. In the past few decades, the global society has undergone modernization, post-modernization, modernity, post-modernity, multi-modernity, globalization, and post globalization. We believe that the concept of transculturality, related to but distinct from cross-, inter- and multiculturality, can become mainstream discourse in the near future. It could help us to abandon previous prejudices, re-examine each other objectively and rationally.
