This volume originates from a workshop on “Anthropocene and Contemporary Chinese Cultures” that was held at Hong Kong Baptist University in January 2018. Most of the contributors presented papers in the workshop. In preparing this volume, we received support from various people and organizations. We express our gratitude to Sara Crowley- Vigneau of Palgrave Macmillan, who made this project possible. We acknowledge the generous support of the Dean’s Office of the Faculty of Arts at Hong Kong Baptist University. The editing of these chapters also benefited greatly from the copy-editing by Michael Luongo, technical assistance of Chester Chan, editorial assistance of Connie Li, and assistance with the references of Angel Jiang and the Tibetan names of Tsemdo.
