History

Current Research Activities

I am quite interested in how the Yellow River has interacted with politics in modern China.

Research Connections to Current Events

Wonderful colleagues in SJSU that know my field and share with me their wisdom; also the rich academic resource on Asian studies in the Bay Area.

Personal Connections to Research

Part of the official Chinese history that I learned in Chinese schools did not make sense. I wondered what really had happened and how the history has been distorted in China.
