About the Speaker
Professor Qin Hui (秦晖) is an economic historian best known for his work on peasant studies and an influential public intellectual. He retired as Professor of History, Institute of Humanities and Social Sciences, Tsinghua University, in 2017 and then served as a Visiting Professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. Qin’s academic research is focused on land ownership and peasant wars and, in the last two decades, he has written on many different aspects of China’s rural economy. As a leading figure in rural studies, Qin’s acerbic comments on a wide range of social issues, particularly those concerning China’s rural population and migrant workers, have earned him many fans. He is a sought-after media commentator in print, on TV and online.
