Zhou Jiang, a researcher at the Sichuan Academy of Social Sciences, has a favorite book:  White Deer Tableland or Bai Lu Yuan by renowned writer Chen Zhongshi.
As vice president of the Regional Science Association of China (RSAC), Zhou told the Global Times that a lifetime of reading has profoundly shaped the way he sees and understands the world. It ultimately led him to a career in research and academia, where he teaches and pursues scholarly work.
Since earning his PhD in economics in 2000, he has devoted himself to the study of regional science and economics, a field that demands a constant crossing of disciplinary boundaries, drawing on the fields of geography, sociology, history, and ecology among others.
"Reading has kept alive my sense of curiosity and taught me to ask questions with patience and persistence: Where do disparities in regional development come from? How do policies affect different groups in society? And how can a region pursue both efficiency and equity so that development is not merely effective, but also imbued with a greater sense of humanity and warmth?" Zhou noted. 
Founded in 1991, RSAC is a national academic society dedicated to advancing domestic and international academic exchange and cooperation, providing consulting services on spatial planning, urbanization, and regional development, and offering intellectual support for China's modernization drive.
The 57-year-old researcher noted that reading has empowered him in two distinct ways.
"The first is discernment. When confronted with a complex issue, I try not to settle for a simple conclusion. Instead, I make an effort to understand its broader context, how it has unfolded, and the perspectives of the different people involved," he said. 
"The second is a sense of inner steadiness. Setbacks are an inevitable part of both life and work. Good books remind us that hardship is never ours alone to bear; countless people before us have faced circumstances more difficult than our own, made difficult choices, and found the strength to carry on. Reading cannot solve every problem for us, but it can help us remain calm when challenges arise, giving us the clarity and resilience that allow us not to panic or give up too easily," he said. 
Historical depth

Each time Zhou returns to the White Deer Tableland, he finds something different in its pages. 
"When I first read it as a young person, I was drawn primarily to the characters and the twists and turns of their lives. Later, as I began researching regional economics, I found myself paying closer attention to the changes in the land, the countryside, families and social order presented in the story. Now, approaching 60, I have come to appreciate more deeply the choices the characters make, the constraints they face, and the quiet perseverance they show amid the sweeping currents of their times," he said. 
White Deer Tableland uses Bai Lu village in Northwest China's Shaanxi Province as a microcosm, tracing the feuds and intertwined fortunes of three generations of the Bai (literally meaning white) and Lu families. Through their stories, it captures more than half a century of sweeping historical change, from the final years of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) to the 1970s and 1980s. The novel won the Mao Dun Literature Prize, one of China's top literature awards, in 1997.
Zhou prefers literary works with historical depth and a keen eye for social change. 
Regional economics may appear to be concerned with the spatial distribution of industries, population and resources, but at its heart, it is about how people live on a particular piece of land, and why some places flourish while others decline, he noted. 
In this sense, literature and history are more than pastimes beyond professional research. They often help him understand the historical context, cultural traditions and social mentality that lie behind economic data, he said. 
When reading novels, Zhou said that he often pays close attention to the relationship between people and the places they inhabit: How the land shapes the local character, how transportation transforms a region, and how shifts in industry reshape families and villages. Such details may not offer a direct conclusion, but they broaden a researcher's perspective. They also serve as a reminder that research should look beyond growth rates and statistical indicators to consider the sense of fulfillment experienced by ordinary people and the dignity of human beings.
Understanding ourselves
Once, while tidying his study, he came across a book filled with notes he had scribbled in his early years. Among them was a question that particularly caught his attention: "In the face of sweeping changes in the times and profound social transformation, what can a person truly determine for himself?"
Looking at those words he had written in his youth was like coming face to face with the person he had been decades ago.
Reading is not simply the act of understanding a book; it is also a record of a person's own growth, he said. The same book can reveal something entirely different when read at different stages of life. 
When we are young, we turn to books in search of answers; but when we become seasoned, we read more to understand life, to understand others, and ultimately, to better understand ourselves, Zhou said. 
In this era of fragmented information, AI can help people access information quickly, organize materials, and gain a basic understanding of unfamiliar fields. Yet deep reading, Zhou said, allows people to see how a conclusion is reached — what evidence supports it, where its boundaries lie, and what alternative interpretations it may invite.
What truly shapes a person, after all, is not how much information they have browsed, but the words that have made them pause and reflect - and the words that have remained with them for many years, he added. 
。最近，旅客冯女士的遭遇引起不少关注。

二 |      　　黑猫投诉平台7月发布的报告显示，仅今年上半年，平台就收到关于机场航空公司的投诉近2.7万件，其中“退改费用高”投诉超1.3万件，占比接近一半。报告提到，消费者普遍反映提前7天以上甚至十几天申请退票，仍被平台扣除超过40%甚至90%的票款作为手续费。     　　机票退票手续费为何这么高?如何推动解决旅客反映的问题?记者采访了中国航空运输协会(以下简称“中国航协”)有关负责人。

三 |      　　机票、航班座位具有极强时效性、不可存储性、资源独占性三大特征。民航航班的运营资源都是为既定飞行计划提前配置的，飞机调度、航油储备、机组人员排班、空管指挥、机场地勤保障等均有成本，且成本不会因座位空置而减免。

四 | 一旦航班起飞，机上空置的座位就会失去使用和二次销售价值，属于不可逆的资源消耗。     　　中国航协有关负责人介绍，目前，国内航空公司普遍实行阶梯式退票收费。旅客越早申请退票，航空公司拥有越充足的时间将空置座位重新投放市场、完成二次销售，退票手续费标准一般相对较低。建议行程不确定、易变动的旅客选择退改灵活的全价票、高端舱位，更好享受退改权益;行程固定、确定无误的旅客，可选择高折扣优惠机票，遵守适度的退改限制换取出行性价比。     　　一些旅客反映退票规则看不懂等问题，中国航协有关负责人介绍，阶梯式退票收费在实际落地执行中确实存在一些服务短板：规则公示透明度不足。部分线上平台、销售代理渠道存在规则展示隐蔽问题，如退改条款字体过小、位置隐蔽、专业术语晦涩、默认折叠不展示等;国际机票退改体系复杂。部分外国航空公司扣费规则不公开、费率不透明，销售平台解读不到位;行业缺乏规范标准。国内各家航空公司虽均遵循阶梯收费逻辑，但在具体时间节点、手续费比例、免费退改门槛等细节上存在差异。     　　针对旅客关注的机票退改服务痛点，中国航协已牵头统筹推进机票退改服务升级优化工作，推出多项举措。     　　研究出台退改标准，全面提升规则透明度。中国航协正在牵头制定机票退改专项团体标准，计划今年内正式发布实施。标准将明确退改要求，所有售票平台、航空公司官方渠道，必须通过醒目字体、弹窗强制提示、专属标识、前置告知等方式，在旅客支付订单前主动公示退改费率、限制条件、免费退改场景，解决规则隐蔽、看不懂、不知情的问题，保障旅客知情权、选择权。     　　推广优质惠民政策，引导行业服务升级。东航近日率先调整国内客票退改规则，明确自8月6日(含)起销售的国内客票，所有舱位均可在航班离站前14天以上免费自愿退票、变更，打破了折扣票不可免费退改的传统限制。     　　强化行业合规培训，规范服务执行口径。针对一线客服、票务代理、线上平台工作人员开展常态化专项培训，规范退改规则解读、纠纷处置流程等工作。     　　攻坚国际机票服务难题，实现跨境规则透明化。督促国内航空公司和销售平台细化国际航线退改规则，前置风险提示。主动对接外国航空公司，加大协调力度，推动跨境、跨航司退改服务规范化、透明化。
