Features: China is an educational powerhouse and should make its own contributions to the education of humanity. Throughout its more than 2,000 years of historical civilization, China has indeed continuously contributed its educational thoughts, systems, and wisdom to the advancement of world education. Since the founding of New China, especially since the reform and opening-up, Chinese education has undergone profound changes and achieved great accomplishments, while also constantly emerging with new educational ideas, new reform achievements, and new educational determinations of the new era. A large number of Chinese educational experts and scholars have sought knowledge and practiced boldly, formulating strategies for educational development and exhausting their efforts for educational reform. Their academic thoughts and educational practices have directly driven the reform and development of education in China and will continue to have a profound impact on future educational practice and research. For the reasons mentioned above, Yang FuJia's book on "Higher Education in China in the 21st Century" is a must-read. In fact, this book is a summary and embodiment of the wisdom, knowledge, and global outreach of a Chinese scholar and a seasoned administrator over 40 years. The book concisely and clearly elaborates on the evolution and development of research universities in China since the founding of New China in 1949, and clarifies the important responsibilities that research universities undertake in the world today. As is well known, the Chinese economy in the 21st century is growing at an astonishing speed, and Yang FuJia clearly explains in the book that a lack of strategic and forward-thinking speed is dangerous. Therefore, Chinese research universities must not only become beacons guiding intellectual progress but also serve as engines for the economy and lighthouses of integrity!
