Research Topics at Present    

I have two ongoing projects. One is to study the rising of Internet Society in China and its influences on daily life, especially focusing on the change of macro-mentality since 1978. The other one is about the contributions of Yanjing School in early Chinese sociology and the contemporary meaning of it. This research will rethink the publications of some famous Chinese sociologists and anthropologists, especially Wenzao Wu, Xiaotong Fei and Yaohua Lin.  

(The original publications were all in Chinese.)
