  • The History and Context of Chinese-Western Intercultural Marriage in Modern and Contemporary China (From 1840 to the 21St Century)
    The History And Context Of Chinese-Western Intercultural Marriage In Modern And Contemporary China (From 1840 To The 21st Century) Australian wife Margaret and her Chinese husband Quong Tart and their three eldest children, 1894. Source: Tart McEvoy papers, Society of Australian Genealogists 1.1 Brief Introduction It is now becoming more and more common to see Chinese-Western intercultural couples in China and other countries. In the era of the global village, intercultural marriage between different races and nationalities is frequent. It brings happiness, but also sorrow, as there are both understandings and misunderstandings, as well as conflicts and integrations. With the reform of China and the continuous development, and improvement of China’s reputation internationally, many aspects of intercultural marriage have changed from ancient to contemporary times in China. Although marriage is a very private affair for the individuals who participate in it, it also reflects and connects with many complex factors such as economic development, culture differences, political backgrounds and transition of traditions, in both China and the Western world. As a result, an ordinary marriage between a Chinese person and a Westerner is actually an episode in a sociological grand narrative. This paper reviews the history of Chinese-Western marriage in modern China from 1840 to 1949, and it reveals the history of the earliest Chinese marriages to Westerners at the beginning of China’s opening up. More Chinese men married Western wives at first, while later unions between Chinese wives and Western husbands outnumbered these. Four types of CWIMs in modern China were studied. Both Western and Chinese governments’ policies and attitudes towards Chinese-Western marriages in this period were also studied.

  • Shandong Province and Chinese Communist Military and Financial Strength
    A Springboard to Victory: Shandong Province and Chinese Communist Military and Financial Strength 1937-1945 by Sherman Xiaogang Lai A thesis submitted to the Department of History in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen's University Kingston, Ontario, Canada September, 2008 Copyright © Sherman Xiaogang Lai, 2008 ABSTRACT A Springboard to Victory: Shandong Province and Chinese Communist Military and Financial Strength, 1937-1945 Sherman Xiaogang Lai Thesis Supervisor: Professor Emily M Hill During the Sino-Japanese war of 1937 to 1945, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in Shandong Province in North China achieved an unnoticed but historically significant success in financial affairs. From that time onward, the CCP in Shandong not only controlled economic affairs within its territory, but also obtained access to territories under enemy occupation through manipulation of currency exchange rates and by controlling the trade in staple grains, cotton, salt and peanut oil. As a result, trade with occupied China and with the Japanese invaders became the principal source of revenue of the CCP in Shandong as early as the second half of 1943. By the time of Japan’s defeat in August 1945, about 80% of the CCP’s revenue in Shandong came from trade beyond the areas under its control. Moreover, the CCP in Shandong deliberately carried out a policy of controlled inflation to increase its financial power. The key to this achievement was the CCP’s success in establishing exclusive zones for its banknotes in August 1943. The exclusive use of CCP currency developed in the course of many years of armed conflict among Japanese, CCP and Nationalist (GMD) forces in the province.

This includes, most obviously, Huaiyin Li, who has shepherded my career as a graduate student from beginning to end. His advise, mentorship, and willingness to casually discuss the ideas that led to this present work were invaluable. The rest of my committee—Robert Oppenheim, Mark Ravina, and Yoav Di-Capua—provided no less thoughtful feedback over the course of the project. A number of other professors at UT provided considerable support or career advice over the course of my time, including Nancy Stalker, Penne Restad, and Mark Metzler. As with many history graduate students, I am indebted to the massive behind-the-scenes enterprise undertaken by Marilyn Lehman and now Michael Schmidt. This work was also supported with a generous research fellowship provided by the University of Texas at Austin.
