With its stimulating and resourceful intellectual environment, the Harvard-Yenching Institute provided an ideal forum in which I could concentrate on writing my book. My research has been fundamentally enriched by the Institute’s commitment to promoting interdisciplinary research, the close interaction among Asian scholars, and the rich intellectual and cultural environment provided by the Harvard community. It offers a fantastic program, the world’s best library. And not to mention, a memorable ski trip!
