About the author

Public information about Shi Tao is limited; his dates of birth and death, nationality, and educational background are not clearly recorded. Judging from the five works held in the collection, his writing spans several fields: books such as Don't Mistake Vulgarity for Style and Class: Social Rank and Taste discuss aesthetic taste and social stratification, while studies including The Modern World Tea Market and China's Tea Industry and A History of Modern China's Central Bank address economic history, and Local Financial Risk Governance Based on Big Data belongs to finance and management. The range, from literary appreciation and social studies to history and finance, shows a shared attention to everyday culture, economic institutions, and data governance. His writing is aimed at general readers and tends to approach social issues through concrete phenomena, combining information with readability. Because biographical and authorial statements are lacking, this note is based only on the works themselves; further personal details await public sources.
