"He brings in perspectives from Western Sinology that are often missing from our traditional training, and learning directly from a Western-trained historian who lives and breathes Chinese culture adds incredible depth," Yu says.

Yu particularly appreciates Ditmanson's emphasis on making research meaningful and engaging. "He always reminds me: an academic paper shouldn't just be written for its own sake — it should attract interest, spark thought, and reach people. Otherwise, even solid research risks becoming irrelevant," he adds.

Comparing Western and Chinese historiographical traditions, Yu observes that Western scholars often start from a small, specific point and build outward to reveal broad patterns, while Chinese scholars may begin with larger frameworks.

He believes that Ditmanson skillfully balances both approaches.

Last year, Ditmanson received the 2024 Chinese Government Friendship Award, a recognition he says has reaffirmed "China's warmth, openness, and commitment to cultural exchange". It is also, he notes, an award that recognizes the efforts and spirit of Yuelu Academy.

Given today's relations between China and the West, Ditmanson says it's crucial to build personal and academic connections.

"Whether you're a teacher in China, America, or Europe, you're still pursuing knowledge, still trying to teach. I hope visitors leave with the understanding that — at heart — we're all the same," he says.
