Most scholars could point out many negative aspects about the contemporary society from a objective standpoint, rather than conducting the research upon the will of the leadership level. All these achievement result from:on one side, the impact of the revival of social history; on the other side, the vigorous support of the country, with the publishment fund from the government for many works, or with some works directly intiated by related government department. Meanwhile, the efforts made by some renouned scholars is one attribute.However, there is not yet one authorative social history of PRC, or one PRC general history, encompassing the social history of PR.This paper is intended to conduct an assorted analysis into the key reseach works on social history of PRC since the adoption of the reform and opening-up policy, meanwhile putting forward my own ideas on the reseach of social history of PRC based on this analysis. |
