BEIJING, Sept. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The educational
project Jiangcun Academy aimed at inheriting and promoting the
scholarly spirit of Chinese renowned sociologist Fei Xiaotong is
under construction in Kaixiangong Village, Wujiang District in
Suzhou City of east China's
Jiangsu Province.
Since its commencement in February of this year, the project has
garnered widespread attention from the academic community and
society at large.
Kaixiangong Village, also known as "Jiangcun", is famous for the
in-depth research conducted by Fei Xiaotong. Between 1936 and 2002,
he visited the village 26 times and authored significant works such
as "Peasant Life in China" and
"From the Soil: The Foundations of Chinese Society", making the
village an important window for the study of rural China.
The construction of the project is not only an inheritance of
Fei's exploratory spirit but also a positive response to the rural
revitalization. The academy is positioned to create a nationally
significant social survey base, a social science laboratory, and a
training demonstration base for rural revitalization with
international influence.
The project covers an area of 35.5 mu (nearly 2.67 hectares),
including teaching buildings and supporting facilities. Once
completed, the teaching building will accommodate 300 students for
teaching, discussion, and office use. It is expected to be
completed and put into use by next June.
Jiangcun Academy will establish one base and four centers,
namely the Chinese modernization Jiangcun research base, the
international social science research center, the economic and
social survey and experimental center, the rural revitalization
training and demonstration center, and the cultural heritage and
innovation center.
The academy will conduct teaching and research on urban and
rural integration, rural revitalization, social governance, and
cultural heritage, committed to producing influential and
replicable theoretical results.
