While many have studied China's recent rise as an economic power,
China itself does not exist solely in the economic realm. Ordinary
Chinese still place intense value on moral obligations and the
nature of the social ties that connect them to others. This study
explores the moral sphere as a key to understanding how rural
Chinese experience and talk about their lives in this period of
rapid economic transformation. Ellen Oxfeld, who spent time in a
village in southeast China's Guangdong Province over the course of
a decade and a half, examines both continuities and changes in the
local culture. Although some have suggested that the reform period
in China has been characterized by moral cynicism, Oxfeld finds
that villagers appeal to a vibrant array of moral discourses when
choosing a path of personal action or evaluating the behavior of
others.
