Description:	China has the largest population in the world. However, according to the United Nations, India and China are estimated to reach a population of approximately 1.38 billion simultaneously by 2030, with India taking a slight lead. China will fi nd itself content to surrender the position as the largest population nation to others. Where does this contentment come from? For China, this situation is symbolic for the solution to the excessive population and a milestone for the “three-stage” population development strategy, as well as the people’s hope. In order to realize this hope, it fi rstly depends on the transformation from the previous high birth rate, high death rate, and low growth rate of population; to the high birth rate, low death rate, and high growth rate; and fi nally to the low birth rate, low death rate, and low growth rate. It also relies on the “post-demographic transition” to a low fertility level since the 1990s, and secondly, it is closely related to the population change in the future. Therefore, the in-depth studies on population and the development of population, resources, environment, economy, and society should be conducted based on the fresh experiences and theories from the international community, in order to move forward with the times to promote the solution to the population problem and realize the dream of the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. As a result, the population change is linked to this great rejuvenation, as the great rejuvenation requires the population change, and, in turn, the population change facilitates the population change, which is the main line of the whole book. Each of the seven chapters jointly constitutes the main focus of the book. This is the reason for the book to be entitled as The Hope of the Country with a Large Population: Theories and Practices of the Transformation of the Population in China . The fi rst chapter involves the corrections on the population theory and China’s population problem and incorporates four chapters, including Reverse the Verdicts on the New Population Theory Proposed by Ma Yinchu . It clarifi es the nature of the excessive population in China after having reversed the verdicts on the population theory at the early stage of reform and opening up. It also explains the necessity and possibility of giving priority to the control of population growth in the comprehensive solution to the Chinese population problem and adopts family planning as the basic state policy.
