Features: From the life experiences of Professor Liang Zhaotao and the many renowned older-generation anthropologists in China whom we are familiar with, we can clearly see that only when researchers in Chinese anthropology closely link their own destinies with the fate of the nation and the rise and fall of the nation can their research truly hold value and social influence. Similarly, the development of the anthropology discipline itself is inseparable from serving the reality; it can only flourish and develop by serving the reality. Practice has proven that socialist countries can indeed develop modern industrialization and open-market economies, achieve free trade agreements with countries around the world, while adhering to the path of socialism. In short, modernity is not solely the domain of "capitalism"; it can also belong to "socialism." The successful reality of socialist modernization in China calls on Chinese anthropologists to go into the field, engage with society, and connect with the people. By summarizing the successful practices and theories of socialist construction in China from the objective laws of human social development, we can make our due scientific contributions to promoting the common prosperity and progress of all ethnic groups in our country. Then, Chinese anthropology will have great potential and hope, which is also the future of Chinese anthropology that Professor Liang Zhaotao had looked forward to in his lifetime.
