Features: This book presents Professor Lang's academic achievements, rich life, and behavioral patterns from various perspectives through interviews. I believe this not only deepens the understanding of Professor Lang in all aspects but also allows readers to gain insights into the path of personal growth. Professor Lang has published more than 20 papers in world-class academic journals. While listing these numbers may seem simple, those in the academic circle know well that hundreds of thousands of economists worldwide are eyeing these journals. It is not just about publishing a few articles in these journals; even publishing one paper is a great honor. In China, including among economics PhDs who have studied in the US and Europe, how many can have their articles published in these journals? Let alone publishing so many. Even in the US, his achievements are remarkable. Many professors from prestigious business schools in the US envy his accomplishments (generally, publishing 3 papers in these journals is enough to be considered for a lifetime professorship abroad). Currently, some people in China dismiss Professor Lang'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? Statistics show that few "financial economists" in China have published financial research papers in these journals. If a society or academic field lacks basic criteria for judgment, it cannot move towards 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 the renowned Hong Kong financial professor, Lang Xianping. Professor Lang's works are primarily based on empirical analysis and have earned him a high reputation in the field of finance. His articles are mostly published in famous US financial and economic academic journals. In recent years, his research on the supervision and standardized governance of China's securities market has attracted widespread attention from various sectors in China.
