"A major contribution to the study of teachers' schools in Republican China. Xiaoping Cong's work helps us understand why China's rural society and lasting feudal structure were transformed and dismantled during the Republican period and also what led to the success of the Chinese Communist Party in 1949. - George Wei, author of Sino-American Economic Relations, 1944-49"
