Liu Guoguang was born in November 1923 in Nanjing, Jiangsu. A renowned Chinese economist and economic theorist, he is a member of the Academic Divisions of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and a specially invited advisor, and he formerly served as vice president of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and director of its Institute of Economics. He is also a foreign member of the Polish Academy of Sciences. He has long studied Marxist political economy and socialist market economy theory, and in 2005 he received the first China Economics Outstanding Contribution Award. The library holds his work The Distant Place Is Not Far, classified under travel. Compared with his works on economics, this book leans toward travel and observations, written in a plain and natural style, offering readers another perspective on his writing. Given the limited materials available in the library, public information on the book's background and specific content is limited, so no further details are provided here.
