Features: Xue Muqiao was an economist in action. He had a rigorous academic style, was simple and unpretentious, earnest in pursuit of truth, and innovative. He was skilled at forming, developing, and upholding correct opinions in practice, while correcting outdated and erroneous views. Even in his late seventies, he continued to absorb new knowledge and update his ideas, keeping his thoughts at the forefront of China's economic theory. In his advanced years, he wrote "Several Issues in the Socialist Economic Theory of China" and "Letter to the Standing Committee of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China," elevating the understanding of market-oriented reform to a new height at a critical juncture in history. On the first anniversary of Xue Muqiao's passing, his former colleagues, friends, subordinates, and descendants recorded his immortal spirit with their pens, allowing the world to gain a deeper understanding of this centenarian, a master of his generation, through some subtle details.
