Zhou Li Livres

Exploring life in modern China, this poetry collection delves into themes of love, death, and the search for meaning amidst urban crowds. Zhou Li, a doctor and poet, presents short yet impactful verses that capture the complexities of existence, blending explicit and everyday experiences. His debut work reflects on loneliness and connection, offering a poignant look at the human experience. Translated by Xi Nan, the collection invites readers to discover profound insights within its simplicity.

This book provides a detailed review of the accumulated experience and lessons from China’s agricultural reform and opening-up since the late 1970s, examining various aspects of this transition and providing a new perspective that can contribute to developing economic theories. The success of China’s reform and opening up creates benefits for farmers, and is driven by farmers. The past experience, problems revealed and lessons learned from failures of market-orientated and progressive reform can provide valuable guidance for those developing countries still lagging behind China.
