In this work, Chinese experience is no longer an exception to some prevailing theory but rather a starting point for knowledge with universal significance. China's social transformation not only mirrors local cultural, historical, and political characteristics but also reveals sociological knowledge worthy of serious consideration.The author emphasizes that framing the question is the key to research, asserting that "what to do" is more important than "how to do it." The multiple case studies in the book vividly demonstrate her perspective in political sociology: the uniqueness of the Yenching School of Sociology, implicit shifts in individual-organization relationships, the influence of grassroots governments on micro-institutional environments, and cooperation among mutually distrustful civic groups. These analyses not only reflect the complexity of Chinese society but also lay the foundation for universal sociological knowledge. Thus, this book serves as a theoretical window into understanding China, offering new possibilities for integrating Chinese narratives into the global system of social scientific knowledge.¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿,¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿,"¿¿¿"¿"¿¿¿"¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿:¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿
