About the author

Hou Huaiyin is the author of Chinese books on education, though publicly available information about him is limited: his nationality, dates of birth and death, education, and professional positions are not recorded in the available sources. Judging from the three works held in the collection, his writing focuses on the development and disciplinary history of Chinese pedagogy. His representative work is the twelve-volume set Republic Pedagogy 70 Years, and he also contributed to its General Introduction volume and Higher Education Pedagogy volume. These works trace the evolution of pedagogy since the founding of the People's Republic of China and belong to the fields of educational history and the history of pedagogy as a discipline. They are intended for education researchers, teachers and students at normal universities, and readers interested in the development of the field, and they offer some value in organizing materials and reviewing scholarship. Beyond this, no further personal background can be added.
