It takes up one such investigator, Shen Baoyuan--a student at Yenching University; her youthful work never became published or recognized. The present study reveals how the pioneers of Chinese sociology and anthropology, who called themselves ＂rural activists,＂ tried to understand rural China. It argues that the developments in those fields in China of the 1920s and 1940s made it possible for us today to have a better understanding of the contemporary rural problems. The investigators played an important role in the Rural Construction and Rural Education Movements in Republican China. They show us how Western sociology and anthropology were localized in order to answer ＂Chinese questions＂ and to solve ＂Chinese problems.＂ As source material, these investigations have given us rich records, which in turn have become precious sources and historical memories of rural China＇s past.展开更多
