    The research article by Wu Yundong et al. reveals that the level of social support among art and design students is significantly and positively correlated with both positive thinking and subjective well-being. The study further finds a strong positive correlation between positive thinking and subjective well-being, and, based on these findings, offers a series of recommendations. In the research note, Gao Yang examines the “solar photovoltaic power generation + ecological restoration” model and its role in alleviating the long-standing challenges of extreme drought and land degradation in Bayannur City.

  • Vol. 1 No. 2 (2025)

    Editorial Note

    The Journal of Social Science and Humanities (JSSH) is a journal focusing on issues of society and development. For Vol. 1, Issue 2 (2025), the journal received a total of nine submissions. Following peer review, five outstanding contributions were selected for publication.

    This issue brings together five studies that span literature, media, labor, and cultural analysis, each offering fresh insights into contemporary social and humanistic concerns. Yang and Xiang revisit Bob Dylan’s “The Death of Emmett Till,” showing how the song functions not only as an artistic retelling of the 1955 tragedy but also as a historical intervention that shaped public awareness of racial injustice and continues to resonate in the era of Black Lives Matter. Li et al. develop the Emotional Consistency Index, a new quantitative tool designed to measure the emotional alignment between subtitles and audience responses in cross-cultural transmedia contexts, filling a methodological gap left by traditional accuracy-based evaluation metrics. Jiang’s article turns to China’s rapidly expanding gig economy, identifying the information barriers faced by flexible workers within the digital communication ecosystem and proposing a three-dimensional support mechanism—technological empowerment, institutional safeguards, and social collaboration—to improve rights protection and promote high-quality sectoral development. Tan analyzes Wong Kar-wai’s Blossoms Shanghai through Performance Studies Theory, exploring how the series’ female characters undergo a gradual awakening and reconstruction of female consciousness as they navigate both personal growth and the shifting tides of their historical era. Finally, Li challenges conventional critiques of postmodern literature by examining Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse-Five, arguing that its fragmented narrative form, dark humor, and metafictional devices embody not political apathy but rather a profound engagement with historical trauma and the ethics of memory. Together, these five contributions highlight the evolving intersections of culture, technology, labor, and history, demonstrating the diverse ways in which scholarly inquiry can illuminate social realities and collective experience.

    The JSSH Editorial Office sincerely thanks all authors for their contributions. We also extend our appreciation to the reviewers for their valuable insights and rigorous evaluations. Looking ahead, we warmly welcome future submissions and encourage scholars to continue sharing their innovative research with our readership.
