  • Internal Ex-Post Evaluation for Technical Cooperation Project Conducted by China Office
    Internal Ex-Post Evaluation for Technical Cooperation Project conducted by China Office: Month, 201X Country Name The Project on Eco-environment Rehabilitation and Poverty Reduction in Yanmenguan Region, People’s Republic of China Shanxi Province I. Project Outline Yanmenguan Region, Shanxi Province, is located in the Loess Plateau in the Northern China. It is a region of arid sandy terrace where rain-fed farming is the major style of agriculture and poor population is concentrated. In lands where reclamation reached to mountain summits, soil eroded after every heavy rainfall in summer, and this reduced land productivity further accelerated poverty. In 2001, the Shanxi provincial government proposed the Yanmenguan Ecological Livestock Economic Zone Construction Background Plan with the goal of improving ecological environment and of farmers’ livelihood. By mobilizing budget at the state, provincial and county levels, this plan intended to increase the share of livestock farming, protect soil surface through cultivation of perennial plants and promote grass-fed livestock farming. Nevertheless, this region lacked human resources capable of initiating and implementing the above-mentioned plan, as well as grass seeds, livestock, and initial investment cost for livestock-house construction, causing major delays on transition from agriculture to livestock farming. 1. Overall Goal: To diffuse the model system created in the project, improve the ecological environment, and to improve livelihood of the farmers in the Yanmenguan Region. Objectives of the 2. Project Purpose: To construct a model system(Note) for improvement of both ecological environment Project and livelihood of farmers and to establish a system for diffusion in the Yanmenguan Region.

  • Levi MA Thesis FINAL PART 1
    Beyond the Western Pass: Emotions and Songs of Separation in Northern China Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Levi Samuel Gibbs Graduate Program in East Asian Languages and Literatures The Ohio State University 2009 Thesis Committee: Mark A. Bender, Advisor Meow Hui Goh Copyright by Levi Samuel Gibbs ©2009 ABSTRACT For several centuries, men in parts of northern China, driven by poverty and frequent droughts, were forced to journey beyond the Great Wall to find means of sustenance in Inner Mongolia. Over time, a song tradition arose dealing with the separation of these men from their loved ones. This study examines how various themes and metaphorical images in the lyrics of folksongs and local opera-like performances about “going beyond the Western Pass” (zou xikou !"#) reflect aspects of folk models of danger and emotional attachment. It also looks at how the artistic expression of these folk models may have helped people to better cope with the separation involved in this difficult social phenomenon. I suggest that the articulation of these folk models in song provided a traditionally available means through which to conceptualize and deal with complex emotions. ii For my wife, Aída, who inspires me in everything I do. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS There are many people to whom I would like to express my gratitude for their help during the process of writing this thesis. First and foremost, I want to thank my advisor, Dr. Mark Bender, for his patient guidance, insightful criticisms and suggestions, and for providing a cordial environment within which to explore new ideas.
