On July 20, 2014, Professor LI Qiang (1950-2023), then Dean of the School of Social Sciences at Tsinghua University, traveled to the UK for a vacation with his wife, Zhang Hua [Note 1]. As a friend, I had arranged their 10-day itinerary in advance and accompanied them in London. Unfortunately, due to Mrs. Zhang catching a cold and developing a fever, they had to cut their vacation short and rescheduled their return flight on the afternoon of the 24th. This left many regrets but also provided me with unforgettable and wonderful memories. The following is a record of some of their visit.

On July 20th (Sunday), the Li couple arrived at London Heathrow Airport at 15:10 on flight BA38, then proceeded to check in at the Hilton London Hotel (located on Edgware Road but quite far from Edgware Station, which is near my home). A BBC Prom concert was arranged at 19:30 at the Royal Albert Hall, where the World Peace Orchestra, consisting of musicians from around the world, performed classical pieces by composers such as Beethoven and Mozart, as well as some music themed around world peace, expressing the harmonious coexistence of different cultures and nations through various famous pieces. Unfortunately, due to jet lag and fatigue, the Lis were unable to attend, so I and other friends appreciated it on their behalf.

On July 21st (Monday), we took a day trip to Wisley Gardens. On this day, the Li couple joined an activity that I had previously arranged with two friends. Wisley Gardens, part of the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS), is located 23 miles southwest of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, in Surrey. It is one of the gardens owned and managed by the RHS and is considered one of the most influential horticultural gardens in the world. With its diverse plant collections, exquisite garden designs, and deep horticultural traditions, it has become a sanctuary for garden enthusiasts both in the UK and globally.

The first set of photos features some flowers I had never seen before (from left to right): Artichoke (Cynara cardunculus), a member of the thistle family originally from the Mediterranean region. The unopened flower buds are edible, and the open flowers are bright purple, valued for both their ornamental and economic qualities; Vanda, renowned for its large, colorful flowers, with this particular Vanda sporting purple spots, making it highly ornamental; Bird of Paradise (Strelitzia reginae), known for its unique shape and vibrant colors, with this plant displaying a combination of red, yellow, and green, making it very eye-catching; Spider Orchid (Brassia), named for its unique flower shape, with long, spidery petals and sepals; Spiral Ginger (Alpinia zerumbet), noted for its unique spiral stems and decorative leaves, widely used for ornamental purposes.

The next set of photos (from left to right): We encountered a Chinese pavilion called the ‘Butterfly Lovers Pavilion’ in Wisley Gardens. It was built in 2005 through a collaboration between the Shanghai Botanical Garden in China and the RHS. Initially designed for the Hampton Court Palace Flower Show that year, where it won a silver medal, the pavilion was later donated to Wisley Gardens as a permanent feature. The pavilion’s design was inspired by the classic Chinese love story ‘The Butterfly Lovers’ (Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai). The design and construction were led by Professor LIU Tingfeng from the Landscape Design Department at Tianjin University, China. To commemorate the story, the pavilion’s six pillars are carved with butterfly motifs, symbolizing the transformation of the lovers into butterflies at the end of the legend. The construction materials were sourced from Zhejiang to ensure the pavilion’s authentic Chinese architectural style. The pavilion was built to celebrate Sino-British cooperation in horticulture and to introduce traditional Chinese garden art to Wisley Gardens, offering visitors a unique blend of Eastern and Western cultural experiences. The pavilion was designed and built by Chinese horticulturists and craftsmen who ensured that it seamlessly blended into Wisley Gardens’ natural environment.

As we were leaving Wisley Gardens, we took commemorative photos with my friends and Professor Li and his wife respectively.

On July 22nd (Tuesday), we spent a day touring central London.

We had arranged to meet Professor Martin Albrow, former president of the British Sociological Association, for lunch at 12:30, so our schedule was quite tight. Early in the morning, we took the Tube to the Tower of London and Tower Bridge. Due to time constraints, we didn’t enter but toured the area before boarding a sightseeing boat along the Thames towards Westminster (see following photos).

At Westminster Pier, we walked along Downing Street (with No. 10 being the official residence of the British Prime Minister), passing by Horse Guards Parade, Horse Guards Arch, and other sites, where we witnessed the Changing of the Guard (see following photos).

Afterward, we arrived at Trafalgar Square. Professor Li was particularly interested in the four bronze lion statues at the base of Nelson’s Column, one of Trafalgar Square’s most iconic features. He asked me to take a photo of him and his wife with one of the lions as the background. The contrast between the massive lion and the ‘small’ figures of the Lis in the photo led me to reflect. The lion, a symbol of strength, courage, and dignity in many cultures, perhaps served as a confirmation of self-identity and pride.

We were also intrigued by the blue rooster sculpture on the Fourth Plinth in the square. The Fourth Plinth was originally designed for a statue of King William IV, but due to funding issues, the statue was never completed. In 1999, the Fourth Plinth Project was launched, turning it into a platform for displaying contemporary art, with a new piece being installed every few years. The sculpture, titled ‘Hahn/Cock,’ was created by German artist Katharina Fritsch. Its bold color and form sparked widespread discussion and interest. The blue rooster symbolizes male strength and courage, while also carrying a satirical tone that questions the solemnity of traditional monuments. Fritsch described it as a humorous satire, challenging the gravity of other traditional statues in the square, making it a prime example of contemporary art in public spaces (see following photos).

After leaving the square, Professor Li suggested visiting The British Academy. Founded in 1902, The British Academy is a national academic institution established to promote and support research in the humanities and social sciences. Its primary goal is to promote high standards of academic research, encourage scholarly debate, and support research that enhances understanding of human and social issues. The Academy is not open to the public, and one can only enter by attending an event or participating in a meeting. After taking a photo at the entrance, Professor Li suggested that we should organize events here in the future. [Note 2].

Our lunch with Martin Albrow was held at the Royal Automobile Club (RAC). This is one of Britain’s top private members’ clubs, offering dining, accommodation, fitness facilities, social events, and business meeting spaces. The RAC’s dining services are renowned for their high quality and exquisite cuisine, making it a key part of London’s high-end social life. Martin accompanied Professor Li and his wife on a tour of the club, where we exchanged ideas in the garden. After lunch, Martin presented Professor Li with his award-winning book, The Global Age (see following photos) [Note 3].

After lunch, we strolled through London and visited the London School of Economics, where we met with Dr. LIU Jiayan, a visiting fellow from Tsinghua University’s School of Architecture. She was conducting postdoctoral research under Professor Li’s supervision (see following photos). [Note 4]

We managed to be among the last visitors admitted to the British Museum before closing at 4 p.m. Professor Li asked me to take another photo of them in front of a large Assyrian lion relief. This famous Assyrian stone relief, likely from the ancient city of Nineveh, depicts scenes from the ‘Assyrian Lion Hunt,’ symbolizing the power and majesty of the Assyrian Empire. This photo again illustrates Professor Li’s identification with the symbolic attributes of the lion.

In the China Collection, we saw a large scroll painting (unfortunately, we did not photograph the exhibit label). The painting depicted landscapes, featuring mountains, rivers, and pine trees, intended to convey the artist’s reverence for nature and to express a sense of tranquility and harmony. In passing, I mentioned the idea of expanding the ‘China in Comparative Perspective’ approach at the London School of Economics to include a global perspective. This would not only involve comparing China with other countries and regions on a global scale but also conducting a comprehensive comparative study of China’s social transformations from past to present within a historical context. Methodologically speaking, the essential difference between the social science research conducted by Chinese scholars and that of their Western counterparts can be understood by grasping the essence of a Chinese scroll painting. [Note 5]

On July 23rd (Wednesday), the Li couple took a day trip to Windsor on their own, departing from Waterloo Station. They conducted a detailed tour of Windsor Castle. After their return to London, Mrs. Zhang developed a fever, and they decided to reschedule their flight to return to China early.

On July 24th (Thursday), the original plan was to go on a walk in the woods near my home and have an academic discussion, but due to their flight departing from Heathrow Airport at 16:45, we skipped the walk. Instead, we had a morning tea chat and lunch. The following photos were taken by Professor Li. At that time, taking photos and shared via WeChat was not very common, so we didn’t take a group photo, but there were individual photos of Mrs Zhang with my mother and me.

At around 2 pm., we met with LIU Jiayan and her son at Heathrow Airport’s Terminal 2. The child happily and proactively pushed the luggage cart, which everyone admired as a good educational approach. Before parting, we took a group photo in front of a colorful painting advertisement. Reflecting later, this photo carried profound and personal significance, symbolizing academic exchange, friendship, educational inheritance, and family bonds. It recorded an important moment in the scholars’ professional and personal lives, demonstrating their commitment to knowledge, nurturing students, and cherishing family.

• [1] In July 2014, Li Qiang was elected President of the Chinese Sociological Association. He was the sixth president since the association’s founding in 1979, following Fei Xiaotong, YUAN Fang, LU Xueyi, ZHENG Hangsheng, and LI Peilin. This blog was updated after visits by Tsinghua University’s School of Social Sciences and other universities in Beijing and Shanghai to the UK in July-August 2024.

• [3] Li Qiang also served as the Honorary Chinese President of the Global China Institute (alongside Martin). After the institute was renamed the Global China Academy and restructured into a worldwide fellowship, Li Qiang served as the Chinese chair of the Academy’s Council, alongside Professor Tony McEnery, former Interim Chief Executive of the UK’s Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC), which is equivalent to China’s National Philosophy and Social Sciences Foundation.

Reciprocity, Social Support Networks, & Social Creativity in a Chinese Village (Scholarly Publishing Business, Airiti Press Inc. 2010; Chinese editions 2009 and 2010): ‘In 2005 there was an exhibition of “China: Three Emperors (1662–1795)”. David Hockney, the Fellow of The Royal Academy of Arts, commented that the Chinese paintings deployed multiple perspective points in a single painting, which is different from the single perspective point in Western painting. For him, Western history of art has long neglected the beauty and sophistication of the Chinese scroll painting (A typical example is the Qingming Riverside Painting)’. From Hockney’s point of view, the scroll painting ‘bears close resemblance to cinema pictures by offering a sense of pleasure at being part of the painting. As the Chinese painting has no vanishing point, its viewer has to assume a participatory approach, rather than a static posture, through which to engage him or herself, including eyes, body and psyche into the story-telling and moving with the scroll part by part” (David Hockney, “A Difference of Perspective”, in “Three Emperors, 1662–1795”, RA Magazine, Winter, 2005). Chang believes that western social science is more focused on a detailed analysis of specific issues, while the Chinese way is to offer a combined approach to several issues together. Her ‘book is an attempt to present to its readers a huge scroll painting of the complicated relationships in the everyday life of a Chinese village. It is nonetheless not totally Chinese, just as sometimes in the West a few miniatures can be presented on one big wall. In this case they are embedded in the Chinese scroll. Hockney’s prescription of how to appreciate Chinese painting might be helpful for readers in their approach to this book’ (Chang, 2010, p42-43).

In 2011, Benti and Changwu: Dialogues on Methodology in Economics (Amazon Kindle version, see the middle image of the covers) by Justin Yifu Lin was published. The author is a Professor at Peking University and then Chief Economist and Senior Vice President at the World Bank. The English version is a translation of his Chinese book On Economic Method, Dialogue with Professor Lin, published by Peking University Press in 2005 (see the cover on the left; the cover on the right is the second edition, published in 2012). This book offered significant insights, and the main title, Benti & Changwu, attracted the attention of the China in Comparative Perspective Network (CCPN) at LSE. The book incorporates multiple elements of traditional Chinese culture, particularly the Chinese philosophical concept of ‘Ontology and Wu.’ This concept, central to Daoist philosophy, embodies the notion of ‘wu’ (non-being), representing a state of tranquility and infinity, and reflects the Eastern cultural approach to understanding and exploring the world.

CCPN decided to engage Professor Justin Lin in a dialogue titled ‘A Comparison between Chinese Ways of Thinking and General Social Science Methodology.’ On Tuesday, 6 March 2012, the LSE Council approved the recommendation to award Justin Yifu Lin an Honorary Doctorate of the School. He was to be awarded the Doctor of Science (Economics) as LSE’s honorary degree for 2012 (one awarded per year). The nomination was made by Dr. Kent Deng, CCPN Director, with the support of Professor Janet Hunter, Head of the Department of Economic History, and Professor Danny Quah, of the Department of Economics and Chair of the CCPN Management Committee. Professor Justin Yifu Lin was scheduled to attend the presentation ceremony at LSE on 18 December. Dr. Xiangqun Chang, Co-Director of CCPN, planned and organized a seminar titled ‘Chinese Ways of Thinking and General Social Science Methodologies in Comparison.’

Professor Lin requested that all seminar participants purchase a copy of the Kindle version from Amazon and read it before the seminar. This book is a collection of Professor Lin’s dialogues with his postgraduate students during a course on transition economics conducted in 2003 and 2004 at Peking University and includes three journal articles as appendices. Presented in a question-and-answer format, the book discusses how to conduct economic research creatively and construct one’s own theoretical framework and model based on in-depth analysis of phenomena. The author also emphasizes the importance of Chinese economists adopting internationally accepted norms in their research while focusing on indigenous problems, and he critically reflects on the limitations of existing neoclassical theories in interpreting the development and transition of developing countries.

1. Benti and changwu (title of the book): you said ‘rationality is the common foundational premise, the core, or benti (本体) of economics’,… people are rational, everywhere is the same, but decision-makers have very different constraint and opportunity costs (15-16%; p9-10). Changwu is a mind-set of ever-changing social and economic phenomena, namely, to be freed from the constraints of any existing theories’ (20-21%). You also said ‘a logical and internally consistent theoretical system can be built when there is a fundamental unchangeable premise, e.g., Confucian philosophy is built on the virtue of ren (benevolence) which remains unchanged. The behaviour conforming to ren is yi (righteousness), and the ability to judge what behaviour is righteous and can achieve ren is zhi (wisdom), [or li (propriety), xi (trust)]. Circumstances and conditions are different so ways to achieve ren may vary (29-30%; p37-38). Question: Does the pair of Chinese terms benti and changwu just give a methodology for economics or can they be extended to other social scientific methodology? E.g., there is a Chinese saying ‘Yi bubian ying wan bian’ (meeting all changes by remaining unchanged – coping with a constantly changing situation by sticking to a fixed principle or policy). Here unchanged is benti, so are all the changes changwu?  
2. China in comparative perspective: In answering the question ‘why emphasize methodology (13-14% Kindle; p5-6 Chinese version)’ you compare China with the fast development of ‘four Asian tigers’ when mentioning the ‘advantage of backwardness (后发优势)’, and the ‘shock therapy’ of the chaotic transition of the former Soviet Union and East Europe. Question: The way in which you use China as a comparator to compare with other countries and regions is similar to ‘China in comparative perspective’ that we use. Can you use two examples to demonstrate which theory or theories from your work benefit directly in applying this method?
3. Rigorous or beyond logical proof: On the one hand you agreed ‘mathematics was intended to make economic theories more rigorous’ which is important; on the other hand you said ‘sometimes relevance is sacrificed for rigor’. When you discussed economic methodology you mentioned Chinese classical literature, language, poetic forms (shi or ci诗or词), cooking, painting, the arts, and the instinct of being able to discover the most important variables from thousands of possible factors, etc. (17-19%; p8,13-14). Question: This is very similar to a Chinese scholar’s style, e.g. Fei Xiaotong. Gary Hamilton, translator of Fei’s From the Soil (《乡土中国》), uses this book as an example showing ‘what Fei had was a sympathetic understanding of those he studied which went beyond logical proof’ (2011), although strictly speaking this book looks unlike a production of social scientific research. Do you think this writing style by Chinese social scientists is a characteristic of Chinese social scientific methodology?  
4. Advantage or disadvantage of natives studying their own native societies: On the one hand, you said ‘most people view a theory as the truth and believe that once a theory works in one place, it must be applicable universally’, as one theory fits all, when stressing theoretical innovation and usefulness (20%; p18). On the other hand, you said ‘the 21st century is a century for economists in China’, because from the industrial Revolution in the 18th century to World War I, the largest and strongest economy in the world was the UK. Economists in the UK enjoyed a favourable position to observe and study what happened there. The UK was the world centre for economic research and most world-class economists emerged there, as in a Chinese saying, ‘A waterfront pavilion gets the moonlight first’ (60-62%; p90-91). Question: This is similar to Fei’s Xiaotong’s methodology when he stressed the ‘advantage of natives studying of native societies’. However, Edmund Leach (1982) was critical of some Chinese scholars’ work including Fei Xiaotong’s work in Kaixiangong, as they knew their native culture too well and illegitimately took advantage of it in their work; Leach also criticized the attempt to generalise to the whole of China, and to a long Chinese history, based simply on one local study. What is the advantage of natives studying native societies?
5. Synthesis of multiple phenomena: You summarised your methods as ‘one analysis and three inductions’. The three inductions include a horizontal approach, e.g. comparison with some socialist countries which adopted the planned economic system, with Indian and many Latin American countries, which are not socialist countries;  and a vertical approach, e.g. from a historical longitudinal perspective, the planned economy was initiated in 1929 in former Soviet Union; the third method of induction is the ‘synthesis of multiple phenomena, in which economists conduct a comprehensive analysis of many phenomena at a given time and place and expect a common cause behind them rather than analysing them one by one’ (35-36%; p45-47). Question: This is similar to many Chinese scholars, e.g. Jingqing Cao (2000), author of Along with the Yellow River (《黄河边的中国》); Xiangqun Chang (Guanxi or Li shang wanglai ? — Reciprocity, Social Support Networks, & Social Creativity in a Chinese Village, 2010), found in her fieldwork that there are usually multiple criteria for judgment appropriate to any one relationship, which makes satisfying all of them, or as many as possible, a challenging task both valued by society and enjoyed by those who exercise it. Do you think your ‘three inductions’, in particular the third one, is the Chinese way of thinking?   
6. ‘Royal road to study’ (学问之道): this is one of the Appendices that was omitted in the English version of the book. You explained the ‘royal road’ (dao) is the goal, and the standard and method of being a good person (做人self-conduct), doing good things (做事) and indulging in profound scholarship (做学问). According to the dao scholars should have extensive knowledge and think both deeply and carefully. The great masters should from the bottom of their hearts take care of human beings and society; treat the world’s rise and fall as one’s own mission; have historical and global views, Noble spirit, etc. (p129-145). Question: this has been a very popular idea for Chinese scholars since ancient China. Why did you omit this one from the English version? How does THIS Chinese way of thinking and in doing research affect the outcome of their results?    

The seminar was held at the Seligman Library, Department of Anthropology, from 8:30 to 10:00 am on 18th December 2012. It was organized by Dr. Xiangqun Chang, Co-Director of CCPN. The seminar was chaired by Professor Stephan Feuchtwang, the Founding Director of CCPN. 

The speaker provided an overview of his theoretical contributions to economic and development studies, drawing from his extensive research on China. These contributions are methodologically enriched by the Chinese way of thinking, as demonstrated in his innovative teaching approach, detailed in Benti and Changwu: Dialogues on Methodology in Economics (2012). This work is the English edition of the original Chinese publication (《与林老师对话：论经济学方法论》, 2005). Following this outline, the speaker engaged in an insightful dialogue with LSE academics and students. The seminar served as an intellectual exploration of how the Chinese way of thinking can extend from economics to other social scientific disciplines, highlighting the cross-disciplinary relevance of this approach.

The event saw the participation of distinguished academics, including Professor Martin Albrow, Senior Research Associate of CCPN at LSE and former President of the British Sociological Association, and Professor Sam Whimster, Deputy Director and Head of the UK Future Programme at the Global Policy Institute (UK) and Editor of the journal of Max Weber Studies.

Dr Justin Yifu Lin’s biography

Dr Justin Yifu Lin is Chief Economist and Senior Vice President at the World Bank.

He is the Bank’s first ever chief economist from a developing country. Previously, Dr Lin had served as Founding Director of the China Center for Economic Research at Peking University, Professor of Economics at Peking University and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. Dr Lin’s intellectual contributions rest in two distinct areas. The first of these is the mechanics of China’s economic development, Dr Lin has shown how non-competitive industrial structures in China have interacted with technological capacity-building in China’s enterprises. He has shown how this interaction has worked to facilitate China’s rapid rate of growth and technological advancement, and helps explain the success of China’s brand of industrial policy.

The second area of Professor Lin’s contribution is the role of China in the global economy. This steps outside of conventional economics but instead is an area of economic research that engages with the fields of international relations and international political economy. Dr Lin, both in his current position at one of the centers of global policy-making and in his guise as economic scholar, has contributed critical thinking in this area. Dr Lin has provided rigorous analysis of the different dimensions where the on-going rise of China’s economy will continue to shift the global economy, and clarified where dangers but also opportunities continue to emerge.  

Justin Lin is the author of a number of books, including: Outlines and Highlights for Economic Development and Transition: Thought, Strategy and Viability (2008); Demystifying the Chinese Economy (2011) and New Structural Economics: A Framework for Rethinking Development and Policy (2012). Dr Lin’s books and articles, many of them in top journals, find a place on reading lists for the growing number of courses on modern Chinese economic development. He gave the prestigious Marshall Lectures for the Economics Faculty at Cambridge in 2007/8, entitled Development Strategy, Institutions and Economic Performance in Less Developed Countries, demonstrating that his expertise extended far beyond China alone
