John J. Deeney (Li Dasan), a renowned American scholar who promoted the development of comparative literature in China, not only advanced the “Chinese School of Comparative Literature”, but also proposed a series of insightful ideas on such topics as world literature rooted in national character, the global nature of comparative literature, and the application of composite research methods. John Deeney has made significant contributions to the theoretical construction of comparative literature discipline in China since the new period of reform and opening-up. His ideas exert a profound and lasting influence that continues to play an important role today. His theoretical foresight is truly admirable.
