Economic Reform and Development in China collects the papers I wrote from the 1980s to the 1990s, which were born in an environment of academic debate, and reflected my opinions on how China's economy had reformed and developed as well as my own ideas for reforms and policy proposals. It was translated into English by Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press in 2010 and I am very glad that Cambridge University Press will introduce the translated version overseas. I am glad not only because this book will have the opportunity to be read by Western economists and to contribute to the enhancement of exchanges between Chinese and Western academic circles, but also because Cambridge University Press is an outstanding publishing house with historic recognition in academic circles.

China's reform is on the way. And China's development has entered a new phase: it is confronted with many challenges, but it also embraces a great many new opportunities. Like most Chinese economists, I still stick to my own viewpoints and would like to continue with ongoing discussions to make my own contributions to the growth of China's economy.
