Prof. Qin Hui is at the Department of History at Tsinghua University in Beijing. His critically acclaimed research work and his spirit of activism have ensured international recognition for him. He has served as guest researcher in the John K. Fairbank Center at Harvard University and as visiting fellow at the Harvard-Yenching Institute in Massachusetts, USA.  His prime area of research is the economic history of China. Some of his previous works are Idyll and Fantasia: The Guanzhong Mode and Re-examination of the Pre-modern Society and Modernization beyond Government and Enterprises: A Comparative Study of Public Welfare Undertakings, and also The Rural Commune, Reform and Revolution. A selection of his translated works in English is available in three special issues (4 to 6) of the Chinese Economy vol. 38 2005.
Last year, his series of articles in the Southern Metropolitan Daily, which included Urbanisation and the rights of migrants: Changing community conditions of the lower class in modern worlds, ‘South Africa’s Soweto phenomenon: The past and the present,’ and ‘Residential rights before welfare improvements’ have provoked a growing public debate in China on the rights of migrants.
