Features: Since being forcibly dragged into modernization by Western and Eastern powers, the changes in the civilized China have been nothing short of "a complete upheaval, yet grand and magnificent"—the landscape has transformed, and so has academia. However, the new China has reclaimed its land and reorganized the world in just a century, with a completely renewed spirit. The new China is the result of countless predecessors sacrificing their lives in the bloody struggles over more than half a century; similarly, the foundation of new China's academia was laid by countless scholars during the turbulent and challenging three decades of the Republic of China. Generations of great scholars such as Fei Xiaotong, Wang Li, Lü Simian, Yang Shudu, Meng Wentong, Zhu Shenghao, Luo Niansheng, Zhu Guangqian, and Xu Fancheng—all continued the thread of Chinese civilization with their own lives in difficult times—"When the Southern Yi and Northern Di clash, China remains unbroken as a thread." Behind them, scholars of such caliber are countless.
