Summary:"What is the social structure of the Chinese society in the 21st century? How should China address the problem of migrate workers? How could China form a modern society? How could sociology in China revive and develop? These key sociology issues are some of the topics this book covers. This book is a collection of the research articles and lectures that Dr. Lu Xueyi, the former leader of the institute of sociology, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, published since the 1980s. The author discusses the social structure, social stratification, social construction and development of contemporary Chinese society from a sociological perspective.

So adjusting and optimizing the social structure and increasing the number of middle-class people should be the key consideration of the contemporary Chinese society. This book will be of interest for scholars and students of sociology and Chinese studies"--
