Li Shaoming, 1933-2009

摘要

Professor Li Shaoming, researcher at the Sichuan Institute for Nationalities Research, specially appointed advisor and expert to the State Council, and Sichuan's most honoured and revered ethnologist, died on 20 August 2009 in Chengdu. Professor Li's experience of the full, tortuous course of development of ethnological and anthropological research in the PRC can serve as a microcosm of the uneven history of Chinese ethnology since 1949.
