Contemporary China Review 2023 Spring Issue

Bouden House has translated, edited, and published the Translation Series of
Contemporary Chinese Scholars aiming to launch a series of independent scholars in
contemporary China. These scholars and their research represent the unremitting efforts of our nation's elites in contemporary China to think about the reality and future development of contemporary China, as well as the uninterrupted struggle and strong criticism of the imprisonment of various ideas under totalitarian rule. Our national elite's firm belief and fearless courage in pursuing freedom, democracy, and constitutionalism! They are what Lu Xun, an ideological leader in modern Chinese history, said: "since ancient times, there have been people who work hard, people who ask for their lives for the people, and people who sacrifice their lives to seek the law." In China today, they are still unable to publish their research results and have been subjected to unprecedented suppression by the Chinese authorities. In 2020,
Bouden House published a collection of political and cultural reviews by former Tsinghua University professor Xu Zhangrun, Six Chapters of Wuxu. Xu Zhangrun was expelled from his teaching position at Tsinghua University by the CCP authorities for this. Today, when humanity enters the 21st century as an economic giant in the world, a big country with a population of 1.4 billion, China still does not have the basic principle of civilization that is generally followed in the world today: freedom of speech; how sad that is!
