The concept of professional social work has a relatively short history in China.In fact,it was only in the 1920s that it was introduced to the country,when American missionaries established programs with several Chinese universities.Almost as soon as these schemes began,however,they were abolished.The Communist Party viewed them as tools of Western bourgeois capitalism,and by the 1950s they were gone.Almost four decades later,in 1988,Peking University re-launched their social work course,marking a new starting point.
