Tang Yong / 唐勇

Overview

Tang Yong / 唐勇 is a Shenzhen University sociology professor and dementia-care researcher discussed in the 不合时宜 episode on失智症, caregivers, and aging.

Current Profile

The source presents Tang as a scholar of elder care, family caregivers, and social-work education whose research direction was shaped by personal family-care experience and later fieldwork with dementia households in Shenzhen / 深圳. His book 《遗忘的世界：失智老人的照护图景》 becomes the episode’s main evidence base for connecting Dementia Personhood And Memory / 失智者人格与记忆, Dementia Caregiver Burden / 失智照护者负担, and Dementia Care Social Support System / 失智照护社会支持系统.

Key Characteristics

• Researcher focused on older-person care, family caregivers, and social-work education.
• Uses field interviews with dementia families to resist stigma, simplification, and patient-only framing.
