Oxford University professor: Chinese culture too diverse to be summarized by one label | My Memory of China

Robert Walker, professor emeritus of Green Templeton College at the University of Oxford, shares his observations of China in an exclusive interview with China News Network, as this year marks the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Professor Walker pointed out that diversity is one important lesson that China can offer to the world.

"We talk about Chinese civilization, and we talk about Chinese culture, but China is incredibly diverse," said Walker, also a professor at the School of Sociology at Beijing Normal University, "To give one label to China is both truthful but also dishonest in the sense that there is so much variety."

The scholar with extensive experience in China, who has his 75th birthday in the same year, wishes to celebrate the grand occasion with China. He hopes to witness China achieving common prosperity at the centennial. (Lin Zhuowei, Xue Lingqiao)
