Distinctions

Our work is lead by intellectuals and university students, and encourages participation at all levels of society, integrating with grassroots and local culture. We promote social experiments in urban-rural harmony, in order to ease the urban-rural tension and rural decline resulting from rapid industrialization. We rely on gradual reforms as our tactics, such as “organizational innovation, systemic innovation.”
