metadata.value: Fei Xiaotong (费孝通) (2 November 1910 — 24 April 2005) was the prominent anthropologist
  and sociologist of China. He was one of the first sociologists and anthropologists who
  conducted anthropological studies of the life of Chinese society. He was a political journalist
  and a “cultural intermediary” who published articles about the West in Chinese in China, and
  about China in English in the West. Fei Xiaotong’s career was full of ups and downs that were
  associated with the political situation in the country. Finally, after 1978 and starting of the
  period of Economic Reform and Openness he could re-enter public and scientific life, and
  officially became a respected academic and a public intellectual which dedicated all his life
  to the investigation of Chinese society and social problems. For many people, Fei Xiaotong’s
  works became the first sources, from which it was possible to obtain various information
  about the Chinese village. His works made us think about the laws of social development and
  on what methods they should be studied. He believed that it was necessary not only to develop
  sociology but to go its way, to strive to develop Chinese sociology with all its specifics. Fei
  Xiaotong devoted his entire life to studying Chinese society and the changes taking place in
  it. The main stimulus that inspired him all his life was the hope that the Chinese peasants will
  live better and better, and with them, China will become stronger and more prosperous state.
