The Question of Women in Chinese Feminism gives an historical retrospective of China in the past 100 years with a 20th century global perspective,probes about in-depth and multi-level Chinese women and contemporary social problems by tracing the evolution of the left-wing ideological context,and elaborates on the remaking of“women”creatively by virtue of the historical heritage of socialism.It is of great significance in responding to new changes and new issues taking place in contemporary Chinese feminism.For instance,in today’s China,while analyzing gender equality,people have to focus not only on the relationship between the sexes,but on development within women’s groups and on relations among class/strata also.Therefore,remaking“women”and how to remake“women”,in the Chinese context today,are important issues to feminists,as they will tell,to a certain extent,if gender studies can effectively respond to social issues in contemporary China.

Human Rights Implications of the Civil Code of the People's Republic of China

Putting the people first in human rights protection is the most distinctive feature of the outlook on human rights in contemporary China. The codification of the Civil Code of the People’s Republic of China reflects the people’s legislation for themselves, which is guided by the principle of putting the people first in its external system and internal values.

Recontextualizing Constructive Journalism in Contemporary China:A Comparative and Intercultural Perspective

By adopting a scholarly perspective on comparative journalism and intercultural communication,the present study delineates the conceptual common ground in terms of defining constructive journalism(CJ)and lays out the theoretical foundation for further discussion of this practical recontextualization in China’s social and cultural contexts.The indigenous tradition of"public opinion surveillance"(POS)in China is traced out in comparison with the experiment of CJ and its derivatives like public/civic journalism in Western countries.In spite of different news philosophies and media eco-systems,promoting social reform and serving the people or the public constitute the common goals for both Chinese and Western journalists and media professionals.Notably,exploring the theoretical validity and practical applications of CJ and POS would provide a feasible entry point to the cross-cultural dialogue between the East and the West about news media innovation.

Spiritual Construction in Contemporary China and Its Ideological Resources

Spiritual construction in contemporary China is an important ideological task raised by China＇s historical practice. Modem development often entails entering into ＂modem civilization＂; yet the abstract understanding of this civilization hides its essential rules and historical nature. China has pursued development on different historical premises from the West, and therefore it belongs only partially to modem capitalist civilization. Its rapid development highlights the historical limits of the latter. Realistic prospects for Chinese development imply a transformation and remodeling of China＇s overall way of life, attitudes to life and values, and this inevitably calls for a new form of philosophy. The intellectual sources for this new philosophy are Chinese philosophy, Western philosophy and Marxist philosophy. Their creative integration points in a positive way to the possibility of a new type of civilization.
