Yu Jianrong
Yu Jianrong (Chinese: 于建嵘; pinyin: Yú Jiànróng, born 1962) is a Chinese sociologist who researches rural development at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.
In 2011, he started a microblog account for Internet users to post pictures of children begging in cities to help connect them with their parents.[1]
In 2012 Yu was reported to have made broad proposals for political and economic reform, “10-Year Outline of China’s Social and Political Development”.[2]
In November 2012, Foreign Policy named Yu one of its 2012 Top 100 Global Thinkers "for daring to be specific about how to change China".[3]
