Features: This book presents Professor Lang's academic achievements, rich life, and behavioral patterns from various perspectives through interviews. I believe this can not only deepen the understanding of Professor Lang in all aspects but also help readers gain insights into the path of personal growth. Professor Lang has published more than 20 papers in world-class academic journals. It may seem simple to list these numbers, but those in the academic circle know well that hundreds of thousands of economists worldwide are eyeing these journals. To say nothing of publishing several articles in these journals, even publishing just one is a great honor. Even in China, including economics Ph.D.s studying in Europe and the United States, how many of their articles have been published in these journals? Let alone publishing so many. Even in the United States, his achievements are astonishing. Many professors at prestigious business schools in the U.S. can only envy his success (in foreign countries, generally, publishing 3 papers in these journals is enough to be awarded a lifetime professorship). Currently, some people in China dismiss Professor Lang Xianping's opinions published domestically. In fact, this is not important. If someone truly believes they are capable, why not publish one or two articles in these internationally recognized journals? According to some statistics, few "financial economists" in China have published financial papers in these journals. If a society or academic field lacks basic criteria for judgment, then we cannot move toward international recognition. Therefore, through this interview, the public can see the hardships of scholars. Without extraordinary efforts and original thinking, it is impossible to achieve such accomplishments. This book is an interview with Hong Kong's renowned financial professor, Lang Xianping. Professor Lang's articles are primarily based on empirical analysis and have earned a high reputation in the field of finance. His articles are mostly published in famous financial and economic academic journals in the United States. In recent years, his research on the supervision and standardized governance of China's securities market has attracted widespread attention from various sectors in the country.
