Features: In the autumn of 2002, the Forger compiled a book titled "Commentaries on Chinese Sports Sociology." Two years have passed since then, and it is once again a season of harvest. The author has gathered nearly 40 of his recent works into this new collection and presents it to the readers. China is in an era of rapid change, and in this dynamic society, sports are one of the most vibrant factors. Great transformations are beinged right before our eyes, allowing us to experience their pulse at every turn. Such changes as the move toward modernization, the realization of social transformation, the comprehensive construction of a moderately prosperous society, the arrival of the leisure era, and the process of urbanization often appear in the discourse of sports. In this book, the author has also selected several works on sports literature, including book reviews written by the author. Over the years, the author has been concerned about the asymmetrical development between Chinese sports, particularly competitive sports and sports literature, with the former shining and the latter declining. This collection includes the author's observations and reflections on Chinese sports over the years, exploring different perspectives to reveal the deeper aspects of sports. It features the depth of scholars, the wisdom of philosophers, the charm of writers, and the straightforwardness of sports enthusiasts.
