汉语世界（2014年第6期）总第49期汉语世界（The World of Chinese）

英文介绍
Today, there are any number of Chinese citizens changing the world in constructive and fascinating ways—scientists, entrepreneurs, journalists, activists, and so many more. This issue, we discuss and profile six very special Chinese personalities that have helped shape the modern world and how people think about the Middle Kingdom. There’s Wu Changhua, helping to put actions to climate change grandstanding; the famous Jack Ma and his Alibaba empire; Wang Jianlin, China’s property king; Chen Guangbiao, the clown prince of Chinese philanthropy; journalist Hu Xunli, dubbed China’s most dangerous woman; and there’s scientist Yuan Longping, whose contribution to the human race has been almost indescribably important. All of these people have made—or are going to make—essential contributions to society at large and as such play a role in how the world sees China and how China sees itself. Also this issue, you can take a look at the real price China has paid and is paying for its modern day gold rush, how the nation is facing up to the tragic crime of domestic violence, and how a combination of half-truths and plagiarism keep China in its self-help book boom.
