Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Chinese Revolution A new China is emerging. Whatever may be the immediate developments, however short or long the process of readjustment, we cannot doubt the outcome. This book is not, of course, intended to be a final account of either the process or the result, but an aid to the study of the large out standing causes and of their operation thus far. These causes are clear, and a knowledge of them is indispensable to an understanding of the extra ordinary significance of the reconstruction which is now taking place. I have used some parts of my former and larger book, New Forces in Old China, which are applicable to present conditions and the scope of this little book - the publishers, The Fleming H. Revell Company, having given their approval. This material, however, has been readjusted, wherever necessary, and brought down to date. Considerable new matter has been added, so that this book is intended to be a separate one representing the present situation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from China's Revolution, 1911-1912: A Historical and Political Record of the Civil War When the Revolution broke out, I was residing in Hankow. Throughout the war I remained in Hankow, leaving this centre for Shanghai during the days when the Peace Conference was held in that city. I am a personal friend of the leader of the Revolution, General Li Yuan Hung, and, by virtue of having all the time been in possession of much exclusive information from behind the political curtain, am probably equipped to write of the main doings of the Revolution in that area where its effects were most marked. On the very eve of the Revolution, a book written by myself was published simultaneously in England and America, which contains some strangely prophetic utterances, and will give the reader who has not made Chinese politics a study a general idea of the condition of the country when the Revolution made the scales drop from the eyes of her teeming millions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs of a Chinese Revolutionary: A Programme of National Reconstruction for China These doubts, moreover, were taken for granted, and even some of my comrades began to entertain doubts concerning the realisation of my programme. Therefore it turned out that my programme had less chances of being realised when I held the post of President than when I was the leader of the Party which was preparing the Revolution. Hence the attempt at reconstruction was not successful, 'and the national tasks, which I put forward, were abandoned after the Revolution. The Chinese Revolution, in the minds of many, was called upon to overthrow the Manchu dynasty and replace itby the tyranny of a group of bandits even more savage and rapacious than the former Tai - tsing Government. This was the direct cause of the further intolerable yoke that cast a shadow over the Chinese people. If we analyse our first promptings to. Carry out the Chinese Revolution, we shall see that we had in View the salvation of the Chinese people and the country whereas the result has been quite the opposite, and the Chinese people IS becoming more and more oppressed, the country more and more unhappy.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Through the Chinese Revolution: My Experiences in the South and North the Evolution of Social Life Interviews With Party Leaders an Unconstitutional Loan the Coup D'etat Sooner or later, all the nations of the world must inevitably feel the effects of the Chinese Revolution, which, for the last two years, has convulsed a great part of Asia. Distances being relatively less owing to the rapid means of transit of the present day, it follow's that events in China, whose population of four hundred millions represents nearly a quarter of the whole human race, cannot fail to exercise a profound influence on the world at large. Everything changes in China, including the manners and customs of the people, constituting their social and family life; political parties are in the throes of bitter strife, and, within the last two years, the country has been devastated by two civil wars. The tyranny of a dictatorship has stifled liberty, whilst Europe and Japan, vying with one another in their efforts at intervention, are themselves in grave danger of coming to blows. This serious state of affairs is realized only by a few experts, and I therefore trust that the present volume, comprising as it does the narrative of an eye-witness, will prove of interest to the public. I was travelling in the Far East when the Chinese Revolution broke out, so that I have been able to follow step by step the course of events in Indo-China and Yunnan, as well as in the north, south, and centre of the affected area.

Book excerpt: The second installment in 'The People's Trilogy', the groundbreaking series from Samuel Johnson Prize-winning author Frank Dikötter 'For anyone who wants to understand the current Beijing regime, this is essential background reading' Anne Applebaum 'Essential reading for all who want to understand the darkness that lies at the heart of one of the world's most important revolutions' Guardian 'Dikötter performs here a tremendous service by making legible the hugely controversial origins of the present Chinese political order' Timothy Snyder In 1949 Mao Zedong hoisted the red flag over Beijing's Forbidden City. Instead of liberating the country, the communists destroyed the old order and replaced it with a repressive system that would dominate every aspect of Chinese life. In an epic of revolution and violence which draws on newly opened party archives, interviews and memoirs, Frank Dikötter interweaves the stories of millions of ordinary people with the brutal politics of Mao's court. A gripping account of how people from all walks of life were caught up in a tragedy that sent at least five million civilians to their deaths.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume has brought together essays to explore, analyse and interpret the revolutionary tradition in modern Chinese literature over the past century from various angles. The authors examines the bodily or carnal dimension, especially the hidden implication of sexual passion, in revolutionary literature, formulate feminist critiques of the conception of women in literary expressions of revolution, explore the function of revolution as historical discourse and in historiographical representation, and discuss the reworking of “revolutionary classics” in recent literary and artistic endeavours. Here, revolution (in history and in literature) is conceptualized neither as an unquestionably progressive and creative force for a new world, nor an absolutely pejorative concept that necessarily leads to sociopolitical turmoil and tragedy. Insofar as “postrevolutionary writings” cannot but reappropriate the revolutionary spirit as their unavoidable and inseparable traumatic kernel, studies in revolutionary literature and culture, too, go through the zigzag experience of revolution in order to scrutinize its complex implications.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How poetry and revolution meshed in Red China The Chinese Revolution, which fought its way to power seventy years ago, was a complex and protracted event in which groups and individuals with different hopes and expectations for the Revolution competed, although in the end Mao came to rule over the others. Its veterans included many poets, four of whom feature in this anthology. All wrote in the classical style, but their poetry was no less diverse than their politics. Chen Duxiu, led China’s early cultural awakening before founding the Communist Party in 1921. Mao led the Party to power in 1949. Zheng Chaolin, Chen Duxiu’s disciple and, like him, a convert to Trotskyism, spent thirty-four years in jail, first under the Nationalists and then under their Maoist nemeses. The guerrilla leader Chen Yi wrote flamboyant and descriptive poems in mountain bivouacs or the heat of battle. Poetry has played a different role in China, and in Chinese Revolution, from in the West—it is collective and collaborative. But in life, the four poets in this collection were entangled in opposition and even bitter hostility towards one another. Together, the four poets illustrate the complicated relationship between Communist revolution and Chinese cultural tradition.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from China Revolutionized All these questions presented themselves when the re formers startled the world with the announcement that there was to be a republic in China. Lit was to be a republic - not a monarchy said even those Chinese who had been educated in Japan, where lately a Japanese editor educated in America and ten pthers had been tried and executed in secret, the papers sealed, and the press censored. They wanted pitiless publicity in the new republican China. Had there been no abatement of the Opium habit through Amer ica's leadership Of sentiment, and Britain's sacrifice of rev enue from 1909 to 1911, there could have been no rebellion in 1911. The reform cleared the befogged heads of the nation, added a million men to agitation, and furnished a hundred million dollars directly and indirectly toward the independence Of the agitators. How great a stone America and Britain set rolling in that Opium Conference of 1909 at Shanghai! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: The Chinese Cultural Revolution began in 1966 and led to a ten-year-long reign of Maoist terror throughout China, in which millions died or were sent to labor camps in the country or subjected to other forms of extreme discipline and humiliation. Ji Xianlin was one of them. The Cowshed is Ji’s harrowing account of his imprisonment in 1968 on the campus of Peking University and his subsequent disillusionment with the cult of Mao. As the campus spirals into a political frenzy, Ji, a professor of Eastern languages, is persecuted by lecturers and students from his own department. His home is raided, his most treasured possessions are destroyed, and Ji himself must endure hours of humiliation at brutal “struggle sessions.” He is forced to construct a cowshed (a makeshift prison for intellectuals who were labeled class enemies) in which he is then housed with other former colleagues. His eyewitness account of this excruciating experience is full of sharp irony, empathy, and remarkable insights into a central event in Chinese history. In contemporary China, the Cultural Revolution remains a delicate topic, little discussed, but if a Chinese citizen has read one book on the subject, it is likely to be Ji’s memoir. When The Cowshed was published in China in 1998, it quickly became a bestseller. The Cultural Revolution had nearly disappeared from the collective memory. Prominent intellectuals rarely spoke openly about the revolution, and books on the subject were almost nonexistent. By the time of Ji’s death in 2009, little had changed, and despite its popularity, The Cowshed remains one of the only testimonies of its kind. As Zha Jianying writes in the introduction, “The book has sold well and stayed in print. But authorities also quietly took steps to restrict public discussion of the memoir, as its subject continues to be treated as sensitive. The present English edition, skillfully translated by Chenxin Jiang, is hence a welcome, valuable addition to the small body of work in this genre. It makes an important contribution to our understanding of that period.”
