	From the Soil, A translation of Fei Xiaotong's Xiangtu Zhongguo
		This classic text by Fei Xiaotong, China's finest social scientist, was first published in 1947 and is Fei's chief theoretical statement about the distinctive characteristics of Chinese society.
		Fei shows how these unique features reflect and are reflected in the moral and ethical characters of people in these societies.
		Their introduction describes Fei's education and career as a sociologist, the fate of his writings on and off the Mainland, and the sociological significance of his analysis.

		Yet Fei had, inevitably, been caught up in China's political turmoil: he escaped death by the Nationalists during the civil war, and, later, during the years of Mao Zedong was sentenced to hard labour and banned from teaching or publishing for 20 years.
		Fei was born into a gentry family of the Suzhou region in the Yangtze delta.
		Fei was transferred to his first kind of research, on the ethnology of minorities within China, helping to organise their classification into "minority nationalities".

	1994 Ramon Magsaysay Award for Community Leadership - Fei Xiaotong
		Xiaotong was the youngest child in the family and, in a sense, an urban child.
		Fei's new fieldwork impressed upon him anew the small and tenuous economic base of peasant life, where forces such as marriages, funerals, and opium smoking could "easily…affect the entire fortune of a villager." It also illuminated the class structure of rural China and the vast gulf that separated landowners from landless peasants.
		Fei's hopes to harness the social sciences for China's progress suffered a blow in mid-1952, however, when the government banished the study of sociology from all Chinese universities and colleges, an extraordinary step that Fei attributes to the domineering influence in China at the time of the Soviet Union (which did not acknowledge sociology).

	1994 Ramon Magsaysay Award for Community Leadership - Fei Xiaotong
		To FEI, the emerging social sciences of anthropology and sociology provided the key; yet these insightful new disciplines were largely rooted in Western studies of colonized "natives." FEI vowed to create a sociology that spoke to the practical needs of the Chinese people.
		FEI retreated with fellow researchers to remote Yunnan and "experienced the hard bare facts of human existence." Here, too, the land was becoming concentrated in the hands of a few town-dwelling landlords.
		In electing FEI XIAOTONG to receive the 1994 Ramon Magsaysay Award for Community Leadership, the board of trustees recognizes his giving Chinese substance to the modern social sciences and applying them rigorously to the needs of China and its people.

	Scholar Leads A Life Less Ordinary
		And while Fei is inextricably linked to the development of China in respect of rural townships, he is also a beacon for those who believe that attention must be paid to history and traditional culture in the headlong drive to advance.
		Fei was born into a family of knowledge and wealth on November 2, 1910 in Wujiang.
		Fei said that he felt happy and lucky that, after suffering hardship and humiliation during several years of political turmoil in China, he was able to resume his role as a sociologist in 1979 when he established and presided on the Chinese Sociological Association, which promotes sociological studies in China.

		Fei, on the other hand, has invented not so much four or five or eleven terms, but a whole complex of terminology which derives from an insider's dissatisfaction toward the outside terms he was handed in the unequal discourse between the Western canon and what he perceived as the Chinese reality.
		Fei's sensitivity not only to the social conditions of China, but more importantly to the problems of translation and the particular relative strengths and weaknesses of English and Chinese could be transferred, I think, to any situation of trans-lingual anthropology.
		Still, I would recommend Fei's work to any anthropologist from a non-metropolitan country wrestling with this problems, but with the important qualifier that if the interested anthropologist couldn't read Chinese (which would almost always be the case), she would find it hard to see 90% of the model she was seeking.

		Here Fei taught, executed new research, conducted seminars, and guided the work of younger colleagues-as Wu Wenzao later recalled, accompanying them in the field "until the object of the inquiry and the methods to be followed,[were] clear and definite." Despite hardship, the work was deeply satisfying.
		Fei later wrote, "Inspiration came from various sources; from the statue of the monkey-like god; from the purified light through the paper windows, giving the feeling of a reflection from the snow; from the roar of the wind in the pine trees,."
		Fei's previous work now provided him with a meaningful focus: the problems of land use, land ownership, agricultural income, village industry, and the impact on village welfare of Western economic penetration of the countryside.
