Zhu Xi, a philosopher and administrator during China's Southern Song Dynasty (1127-1279), always cared deeply for the people while in office. His concept that "a nation is founded on its people" has left a lasting imprint on China's governance over time. This aligns with the pursuit of "striving toward the people's aspirations for a better life is our goal," emphasizing the people-oriented approach in today's China.

Giray Fidan, a sinologist from Türkiye, is set to embark on a new journey to explore social governance in China from a unique perspective, starting in Sanming City, the birthplace of Zhu Xi, in Fujian Province.
