To celebrate the publication of Ronald Fairbairn and the Object Relations Tradition, cross-continental contributors gathered at the international conference held at the Anna Freud Centre, London. The presentations of such contributors as Norka Malberg, Viviane Green, David and Jill Scharff, Anne Alvarez, Valerie Sinason, and Rubén M. Basili are extracted and introduced to a Chinese audience in order to better understand the legacy of Fairbairn and the current debates on the development of object relations theory, as well as how his conceptions can shed light on contemporary clinical work. Furthermore, the author's own reflections on Fairbairn's ideas and their acceptance in China are followed by a clinical vignette interpreted through the insight derived from the conference.
