E. A. Ross is the author of The Changing Chinese. Public information about this author is limited: the full English name, nationality, and dates of birth and death are not clearly recorded, and the library holds only one of the author's works. Judging from the available information, this book is classified as a historical reader, suggesting that its content focuses on observations and accounts of social and historical change in China. The title itself indicates that the work is concerned not with a static picture of China but with the Chinese people and their living conditions in the midst of change. Writing of this kind is usually marked by narrative and observation, and it suits readers interested in social change in modern China. Because biographical material on the author is scarce, readers may wish to focus on the observational perspective and period record offered by the text, treating it as a historical reader for understanding the theme of "the changing Chinese" rather than relying heavily on background information about the author's personal life.
