This is an expanded Chinese edition of China and Albert Einstein and was elected as one of the ten best books published in China in 2006 by the influential Zhonghua Dushu Bao [Chinese Readers’ Weekly] (2006年《中华读书报》年度10佳图书之一). China and Albert Einstein: The Reception of the Physicist and His Theory in China, 1917-1979, Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 25 April This is praised in 2016 by the Book Editor at Physics Today as one of the “Five essential history of physics books.” Guest-edited Journal Issues: The Transnational Dimensions of Science, Technology, and Medicine in Modern China, Chinese Annals of History of Science and Technology 3 (2), 2019. China’s impressive scientific accomplishments in recent years have aroused a widespread public interest in the contemporary Chinese development of science, technology, and medicine.  Such intense attention also triggered various kinds of myth, often due to misunderstanding or ignorance of relevant historical development, which calls for more and thorough historical study.  Hoping to help dispel some myths and clarify misunderstanding, we, a group of historians of science in Canada, China, Singapore, and the United States, join hands to present this special issue, exploring “The Transnational Dimensions of Science, Technology, and Medicine in Modern China.”  In this issue, each of the six contributors presents a fresh and original case study concerning twentieth-century Chinese developments, covering topics such as gender and scientific education, innovative mechanical study of phonetics, the emergence of modern physics research in China, mathematicians and mathematics at the juncture of the country’s great historical transition, politics and knowledge transmission, and knowledge exchanges under Chinese political system.  This issue has no intention to offer a comprehensive picture of Chinese scientific development in the last century.  Rather, aiming at catching a whale by throwing out a minnow, we hope that this special issue will attract more historians’ attention to this field and lead to better and more profound historical study on relevant Chinese development over the twentieth century, revealing long and bumpy historical paths to their resent success and drawing important lessons from their setbacks in the past. Science, Technology, and Medicine in China’s Cultural Revolution, Endeavour 41(3) September 2017 I have organized and guest-edited this special issue, which comprises six scholarly papers, presenting refreshing discoveries of both Chinese and Western historians.  The articles examine and analyze significant contemporary developments in agriculture, medicine (artemisinin), healthcare system (barefoot doctors), machine building, mathematics, and space technology.  This project intends not merely to introduce some recent works on this subject, but also to call for more active and further research and dialogue concerning Chinese scientific and technological developments during the China’s Cultural Revolution (1966-1976).   Book Chapters and Articles: “A Cradle of Chinese Physics Researchers: The Master of Science Program in the Physics Department of Yenching University, 1927-1941” in Ku-Ming (Kevin) Chang and Alan Rocke, eds., A Global History of Research Education: Disciplines, Institutions, and Nations, 1840-1950. History of Universities, Vol. XXXIV/1, 2021, The Oxford University Press.
