Features: This series of works collects outstanding and representative academic papers from the members of the Academic Committee over the decades. Each member contributes one book, selected by themselves, totaling 41 volumes with approximately 15 million words in total. Tang Kemin, the Deputy Editor-in-Chief of Shanghai Ci Shu Press, responsible for the publication, said: "The members of the Academic Committee of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences are senior experts in various fields. Most of them were previously directors of research institutes or leading figures in their disciplines, and they are all in their 60s and 70s. Selecting and compiling their lifelong research achievements into a series of books can partially reflect the level of social science research in our country. After reviewing the manuscripts, we found that these scholars have a very good academic style—seeking truth from facts and integrating theory with practice. They have set a great example for the younger generation of scholars."
As a Marxist scholar nurtured by New China, Fang Kelie represents a certain aspect of the intellectual generation now over six decades old. He highly appreciates two sentences by Mr. Feng Qi: "Transform theory into virtue, transform theory into method." Only when studying Marxism reaches this level can it become a part of one's own life. This can also be said to be his lifelong pursuit, and the academic path he has taken is the practice of this pursuit. His peers may understand this relatively easily, and it also holds positive inspirational significance for younger scholars.
