Features: This book can be considered the sister volume to Social and Cultural Changes in Contemporary Northern Zhejiang Villages (First Edition, December 1995, Shanghai Far East Press). These two works are spiritually aligned yet outwardly distinct. To say they are "outwardly distinct" is because they differ in research scope, time span, and narrative style; to say they are "spiritually aligned" is because both share a common aspiration—to provide readers with a genuine sense and practical understanding of the rapid social and cultural transformations they are directly immersed in and find unsettling.
