Features: This book has three layers of meaning: The first layer of meaning is that the book focuses on examining the significance of social assistance from the broader context of China's social transformation and studies the construction and improvement of the social assistance system. The second layer of meaning refers to the main research object of the book—China's major social assistance systems in the contemporary era, most of which have not yet been fully established and are currently in a critical period of in-depth transformation, continuous evolution, and improvement, urgently needing reasonable evaluation and guidance. These two layers of meaning constitute the substantive essence of the book. As for the third layer of meaning, it is essentially supplementary, that is to say, the book roughly marks the author's own research transition, meaning that the book can be seen as an initial research outcome by the author during the period of research transformation, focusing on social assistance in Chinese society. Some parts of the book have previously been published in the form of papers in journals such as Social Research, Journal of Renmin University of China, Teaching and Research, Social, Beijing Administrative College Journal, and Xuehai.
