This book: The High Road:Chinese Communist Party and Socialism in China seems to be an interesting book to read It was published earlier this year by Renmin University Press It is consisted of discussions of younger scholars: Yan Yilong, Bai Gang, Zhang Yongle, Ou Shujun and He Jianyu. They are assistant professors at Tsinghua, Beida, Renmin and Fudan Universities. Some important scholars have given some very positive comments: Wang Shaoguang: Authors in this book discussed important issues, issues concerning the fate and future of China. We could say that this book is a discussion with 8000 Chinese Communist Party members. It discusses how to reboost the Chinese Communist Party to be a spirited leading team again. This book is also a discussion with hundreds of thousands of government and Party officials, to discuss how to rejuvenate the spirit and cohesion of the CCP. This book is a discussion with theory workers, and discuss how to understand socialism in China and Chinese Communist Party from the perspective of the history of civilization. This book is also a discussion with Western scholars who study China with colored glasses. It advises them to get rid of their low-resolution theoretical model and learn to seek truth from facts from Chinese Communist Party members. 本书作者思考的是大问题，是事关中国前途命运的大问题。可以说，这本书是与八千多万中共党员的对话，探讨如何将中国共产党重新打造成一个充满理想精神的先锋队；这本书是与几十万党政干部的对话，探讨如何重新激活中共各级党组织的战斗力与凝聚力；这本书是与理论工作者的对话，探讨如何从人类文明史的视角理解中国社会主义与中国共产党；这本书是与西方那些戴着有色眼镜的观察家的对话，奉劝他们抛弃那些分辨率极低的理论范式，学一点中国共产党人的实事求是。 ——王绍光（香港中文大学政治与公共行政系讲座教授、清华大学长江讲座教授） Pan Wei: professor of international relations at Peking University I believe this book has explained two facts: first: things in China need the leadership of Chinese Communist Party; second, Chinese Communist Party can only lead the people if they believe in the people. Therefore, this book re-prove the famous saying of Mao Zedong: We need to believe in the people. We need to believe in the Party. These are two basic principles. If we doubt these two principles, we can’t do anything. 我认为这本书阐述了两个道理：第一，办中国的事必须有中国共产党的领导；第二，中国共产党只有信仰人民才能领导人民。因此，这本书在新时代重新诠释了毛泽东那段著名的话：“我们应当相信群众，我们应当相信党，这是两条根本的原理。如果怀疑这两条原理，那就什么事情也做不成了。” ——潘维（北京大学国际关系学院教授、北京大学中国与世界研究中心主任） (Unfortunately I couldn’t find the digital copy of this book. There is pdf version of the first 6 pages, the prelude written by Wang Shaoguang).
