“The purpose of the book series on the Chinese Dream and China’s Development Path is to remove the language barriers and provide audiences in other countries ‘a thorough understanding’ of the achievement of China related to reform and opening … . It focuses on the increasingly widened gap between urban and rural residents in those areas including consumption patterns, labor market segmentation, educational opportunities, social integration of migrant workers and the growth of a middle class.” (Fei Chen, Eurasian Geography and Economics, September 17, 2019)
