The conversations touch on issues of mobility, education, family, relations between the self and the authority, centers and margins, China, and the world. The Chinese version was named the “most impactful book of 2021” by Douban, China’s premier website for rating books, films, and music.  The English version is translated by David Ownby, who also penned an introduction. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2022-10-01\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789811949524\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-981-19-4953-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210.0cm x148.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 268.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Nature Singapore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44677025300620,"sku":"9.78981E+12","price":53.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789811949524.jpg?v=1760464134","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789811949524","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
