    Longway Foundation

    The Beijing Longway Economic and Social Research Foundation (北京修远经济与社会研究基金会, Běijīng xiū yuǎn jīngjì yǔ shèhuì yánjiū jījīn huì) was founded in 2009 with the following purpose: to study the crisis of cultural continuity in modern China and promote cultural confidence and cultural autonomy in Chinese society. The foundation’s research explores how changes in China’s social structure have shaped the country’s cultural development and led to the rise of new social classes with distinct cultural and political orientations.
