The Renwen Society serves three important functions in New York's rapidly expanding Chinese émigré community: it keeps educated immigrants in touch with their home country; it provides a free forum for speakers to discuss their ideas with compatriots; and it offers opportunities to both the Chinese immigrant community and students interested in China to hear the latest scholarly views on the culture from classical to modern. Renwen activities are regularly covered in the Chinese Press.
