Zusammenfassung:This study was inspired by the dramatic shift that occurred between 1976 and 1980 in China's education policies and the outside world's perception of them. In 1976, China's "education revolution" was being hailed by foreign observers as an inspiration for all low-income countries and many others as well, whether communist or otherwise. By 1980, the Chinese themselves had disavowed the experience, declaring it devoid of even a single redeeming virtue
The author's search for clues to this sudden change ultimately spanned most of the 20th century. The study of both pre- and post-1949 China provided the historical perspective necessary to distinguish the continuities from innovations and to trace communist educational decisions back to their pre-communist antecedents. Rather than the epitome of good or evil, China's 1970s educational experience emerged instead as only the most tumultuous episode in a long and contentious struggle to adapt Western ways for use in a non-Western society
