    In the report of 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed that wherever offenders of corruption may flee, they will be brought back and brought to justice. According to the “Skynet” operation, China has issued red notices for the arrest of 100 most wanted Chinese corruption fugitives on the run abroad to strengthen the international repatriate. With unremitting efforts, as ofJuly 28, 2018, there have been 54 of 100 most-wanted corrupt Chinese officials were repatriated. Through an analysis of the repatriates, we found that at present, the measures for getting offenders of corruption back for justice were mainly involuntary repatriate and arrests, few of them applied to repatriation, and there was no successful extradition case yet. An important reason is that when the corrupted officials fled, they chose the countries that did not sign the extradition agreement with China, and even to the countries without diplomatic relations. In the long run, it is critically important to use relevant laws of other countries to apply the repatriation measures and establish a sound bilateral extradition system of judicial assistance in criminal matters, and take the measures of asset recovery so as to stop and prevent the flees. Fighting against corruption regarding persons sought for corruption and asset recovery is aiming to realize the goal of not only punishing and deterring corruption, but also improving international cooperation in the field of criminal justice in China.

    A Critical History of Ancient Chinese Historiography focuses its studies on the historians' reflections, their historical research activities, and their research achievements in ancient Chinese historiography. Covering a long period from Spring and Autumn period (approximately 771-476 BC) to Mid-Qing Dynasty (1644-1912), the critical history of ancient Chinese historiography can be divided into seven phases which experienced its initiation, development and prosperity respectively. During this long period of over 2500 years, China produced many outstanding historians, who made remarkable contributions to the development of Chinese historiography through writing critical history works and creating important concepts and terms that formed a discourse for Chinese historiography. A Critical History of Ancient Chinese Historiography offers a systematic and critical analysis to the important issues in ancient Chinese historiography, and insightful interpretations to the correlations between historiography and society, and the relationships between the historiography development and historical theories, and many other historical aspects. This research therefore provides a constructive role in developing a critical discourse for ancient Chinese historiography in terms of solid documentary and theoretic foundations.

    The studies of analytic philosophy has lasted for over a century in China. In the past four decades, Chinese scholars achieved many accomplishments in the studies of analytic philosophy such as a more complete introduction to and analysis of the theoretic relationship between different thoughts with their own perspectives in the studies of analytic philosophy. More active international exchanges between Chinese scholars with their international peers were also initiated and promoted, and their analytic approach has been applied to the studies of Chinese philosophy as well. Furthermore, Chinese scholars developed their own research approaches and put forward thought-provoking problems in the studies of analytic philosophy. However, Chinese scholars are also confronted with challenges in how to appropriately deal its relationships with Marxist philosophy and classic Chinese philosophy, and its relationships to the Western traditional and contemporary philosophies, which will actually be the future focus for the studies of analytic philosophy in China.

    In the context of “Double First-rate” Strategy, war for talent among universities catches the attention of both researchers and policy makers. This study took 1840 Yangtze River Scholars of China between the years 1999 and 2014 as the database to analyze the path of their career flow. This study suggests that the main problem of research scientists' mobility in China is not the problem of scale and frequency, but it is problem of the flow direction. Second, the phenomenon of “peacock flying to southeast” does exist, and the eastern and southern areas are the important locations of scientist mobility. Third, the main problems of the so-called “Midwest Crisis” and “Northeast Dilemma” not only refer to the scale of brain drain, but also indicate a lower talent attractiveness in these areas. Finally, the university administration believes that the short cut to promote a university's competitiveness is to obtain more scientists and scholars who are competitive. For a rational and orderly mobility of scientists and scholars, it is necessary to resolve the paradox between the administration and the talent market.

    There are 4,064 kindergarten principals and teachers from six cities in eastern, central and western China participated in this research, and the objective is to analyze the developmental problems and challenges confronted with the early childhood education in China. The findings indicate that, in despite of some positive results of the implementation of Phase II Three-Year Action Plan under the “two-child” policy, there are still existing serious problems in early childhood education in China such as inadequate funding, out-of-dated facilities, shortage of teachers and lack of policies for the disadvantaged children. However, the main factors restricting the scientific development of early childhood education in China are the lack of legislation for early childhood education, the long-term insufficient financial investment, the lack of policies to keep up kindergarten teachers' social status and wages, the imbalanced distribution of regional public financial resources and the dual structure of urban and rural areas. It is, therefore, imperative to solve the current problems to deepen the reform and to promote a scientific development of early childhood education in the new era.

    Autonomy is an important variable indexing adolescents' psychological maturity.Previous studies focused mainly on the separation-individuation,simply understanding autonomy as the separation from parents in terms of cognition,emotion,and behavior,which emphasized heavily on the separation,rather than the connection.Adolescents' autonomy is a double-edged sword,meaning that separational autonomy hinders individuals' mental health.Therefore,based on self-determination theory and attachment theory,the research analyzed dialectically the separational autonomy in the aspect of motivational endorsement and positive relatedness,and further defined the self-volitional autonomy as a dialectical variable affected by parental styles.Then,after reviewing the positive effects of self-volitional autonomy on functions of mental health,this research found the consistently adaptive functioning of self-volitional autonomy between the cultures of collectivism and individualism.In the end,the enlightening significances of the reinterpretation in autonomy on future study and adolescents' education are discussed.

    Personality disorder refers to an individual's inner experience and behavior patterns persistently deviating from the norms of his culture. It is a common mental illness with clinical challenging and it is socially destructive. The antecedents of personality disorder include susceptibility genes, personality traits, and the environment. Attachment with the primary caregiver at the early stage was the critical environment factor to what extent susceptibility genes and personality traits become pathological personality. The new perspective of dimensional approach to diagnose personality disorder is more suitable to understand the relationship between attachment and personality disorder. The first step of dimensional approach is to assess personality function, which is derived from the attachment theory and psychoanalysis. Self and interpersonal dysfunction is associated with insecure attachment; however, whether it is satisfied with the minimum requirements of impaired personality function to assess personality disorders still needs further study. The second step is to discriminate different types of personality disorder through pathological personality traits. Insecure attachment is moderately correlated to all of the five pathological personality traits, i.e., negative affect, detachment, antagonism, disinhibition, and psychoticism, consistently. However, the diagnosis of personality disorder should integrate the former two steps. There still need more studies of personality disorders assessed by dimensional approach. For future studies, it is necessary to explore directly the contribution of attachment to the development of personality disorders within the new diagnosis paradigm.

    in order to explore the effect of middle school students' family environment for their helping behavior and the mediation efficacies in this process, 768 students from Shangdong and Chongqing were investigated using four questionnaires. The results are as the following:(1) Middle school students' helping behavior, family environment, empathy and self-efficacy were all at the middle-upper level. (2) There were significant correlations between family environment, empathy, self-efficacy and helping behavior. (3) Self-efficacy, family adaptability and cognitive empathy can significantly predict students' helping behavior positively. (4) There was a direct path from family environment to helping behavior and three indirect ones:family environment→empathy→helping behavior, family environment→self efficacy→helping behavior and environment→empathy→self→efficacy→helping behavior.

    Chinese traditional culture is splendorous and colourful, and the versed woks in it has a unique position. With China's rejuvenation, Chinese culture is coming to its renaissance. In the situation of globalization, we must use foreign languages (and Esperanto) in the initiative dissemination of Chinese culture over the world. With experiences in the composition and translation of poetry in Chinese and foreign languages over several decades, the present author promotes a prosodic rendering of traditional Chinese versed works to convey their linguistic and cultural traits in an optimally effective way, so that the world could authentically appreciate their tenors and styles. Such a method of translation forsakes the ways merely to comply with the rhyming schemes of the target language (let alone to give rhyming or pseudo-rhyming arbitrarily), and clearly advocates rigid rhyming by insistently copying all the rhyming schemes of various verse genres; what is more, the different long or short Chinese verses should be transformed into corresponding lines in the translation in a quantifiable way with a certain percentage of syllables (e.g.,1∶2, 1∶1.5 or 1∶1, within one work there can be only one percentage to choose). But at the same time, the verses in the translation must follow rigidly (as far as possible) the classical metric forms of the target language (by means of detailed measures for the transformation of syllable numbers in coordination with metric types). This is a new approach of translation that pursues reaching an ideal realm of combining Chinese and foreign poetic beauty. This article invites the readers to sharethe understanding with the author and exchange the experiences in the exploration by examples of translating the Thousand-sinogram Article, the Sutra of Three-sinogram Verse, classical poetry and the poems of Mao Zedong.

    Lin Shu's translation in classical Chinese works is an example in the translated text in classical Chinese between late Qing dynasty and early Republic of China. The most important feature of Lin's translation language is that it is not only adorned with the ancient style but also tends to the language of that time, reflecting certain heterogeneity of “heterogeneous classical Chinese” and “Europeanized classical Chinese”. The summary of the features of Lin's translation language can help to promote the construction of the whole cognition system of the translated text in classical Chinese and to explore further its impact on the formation and development of modern Chinese. In addition, the study of classical Chinese translation between late Qing dynasty and early Republic of China represented by Lin's translation also has great significance and value in Chinese history (including the history of classical Chinese and the history of modern Chinese).

    Scientific spirit, originated in natural science, is also applicable to linguistics. Inviews of contemporary syntactic researchers, the essence of scientific spirit lies in the factthat natural languages share some universalities behind their complexities. Localization, on the other hand, tries to focus on the particularity of a language. Scientific spirit and localization, just like two sides of a coin, is well interpreted in two typical cases. Wh-words movement gives one case and Copular sentences between Chinese dialects give the other. In linguistic research, both scientific spirit and localization are both essential that prevents a practice of cutting the foot to fit the shoe and a one-way conversation.

    The marquises,the princesses,the generals,the prime ministers and other important figures in the Western Han Dynasty,have residences given and created by the state,which were high-grade residences in Chang’an,the capital of the Western Han Dynasty.The kings,who usually resided at the palace of their own kingdom,would stay in their residences in the capital when to meet with the emperor or to attend other important state events in Chang’an.In Empress Lu's later years,there were more than a hundred of residences,which were offered to the marquises,and kings,who were heroes during the reign of Emperor Gaozu of Han.These residences,built and owned by the state,were offered for temporary residence,but the ownership belonged to thecentral administration.The marquises or kings might rebuild and extend the residences,but when they or their successors lost the title/honor,the state would withdraw the residences and give the residences to others.These residences were not the commodities for trading.The residence was symbol of its resident's social identity and status,in that only the one who has both high political status and high social status could live in the residence in Chang'an,given by the court as an honor.

    The enterprise is an important subject of the economic space, and its location selection determines the spatial pattern and competitiveness of the regional economy. As an economic hub of the industrial transformation, the four provinces of the middle reaches of the Yangtze River were selected for this study. This paper firstly demonstrated the spatial pattern of the number of newly established manufacturing enterprises in the region from 1999 to 2013 was based ona global spatial autocorrelation and the density analysis. Then the locational factors behind the spatial patterns were examined based on multiple linear regressions. The results showed that:(1) during the period from 1998 to 2013, the manufacturing industry in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River demonstrated a spatial pattern of decentralized distribution. The trend of the urban agglomeration before 2008 spread to the remote cities after 2008; (2) before 2008, the spatial pattern of the manufacturing enterprises in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River was affected by the adequacy of the local labor force. After 2008, the labor force factor was no longer the dominant factor, and the number of regional government subsidies began to affect the location choice. Although the enterprises concentrated in some cities under the impact of localization economies, labor and policy factors also affected the location and distribution of the enterprises. As a result, in a much larger scale, manufacturing enterprises in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River are distributed in a scattering manner in almost all the districts and counties. This scattering distribution cannot respond effectively to the economic demands in the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta where the enterprises need to cope with the global uncertainties to reduce transaction costs through a well-planned and highly concentrated enterprise distribution pattern.

    The question that whether the number of college graduates exceeds the capacities of the industrial structure is seriously impeding the governments' decision of human capital investment. Previous studies that explored the effect of upgrading of industrial structure on the employment of college graduates in static or single direction causation perspectives cannot provide effective policy supports. This paper, based upon the effects from the perspective of simultaneous interaction between them and the provincial panel data model and the index construction of weighting industrial labor productivity achieved the following findings.Firstly, the results show that upgrading of industrial structure has insignificant effects on the employment of college graduates in single direction causation perspectives. Secondly, upgrading of industrial structure, however,has significant positive effects on the employment of college graduates from their simultaneous interaction perspective. Thirdly, by the regional comparison, the upgrading of industrial structure of the developed regions have more effects on the employment of college graduates, which means advanced industrial structure has better capacities of absorbing graduates. In conclusion, it was because the employment of college graduates that promoted upgrading of industrial structure, and that in turn increased the demand of college graduates, which is called “skill acceleration” in China.In other words,the upgrading of industrial structure has long-term effects on the employment of college graduates. This study therefore will provide some useful theoretical and practical foundation for the government's policy-making in human capital investment.
