  • Dark Side of the Chinese Moon
    REVIEWS Chen Guidi and Wu Chuntao, Zhongguo nongmin diaocha [Survey of Chinese Peasants] People’s Literature Publication Company: Beijing 2004, 460 pp Publication suspended March 2004 Yang Lian DARK SIDE OF THE CHINESE MOON A growing literature in recent years has documented the disparity between rural and urban living standards in China, and the deteriorating situation of the country’s 900 million peasants. Li Changping’s bestselling Telling the Prime Minister the Truth, He Qinglian’s Modernization’s Pitfall and other pathbreaking works have explored the social costs of China’s headlong econ- omic development. Intellectual journals and the popular press alike have devoted acres of space to the crisis in the countryside. Amid this ferment, Chen Guidi and Wu Chuntao’s Survey of Chinese Peasants stands out for its vivid narratives of peasant life and for the real voices of the toilers that speak from its pages. Not only does it name the names, one after another, of the petty local tyrants whose abuses and brutalities make these agricultural labourers’ lives a living hell. The Survey also raises the underlying political question of how this situation came about. Chen and Wu—they are husband and wife—both come from peasant backgrounds, in Anhui and Hunan Provinces respectively, although they have made their careers as writers in the city. Wu had written warmly of her village childhood in an earlier essay, ‘Cherishing a Faraway Place’, while Chen, a novelist, had written on environmental questions. On 1 October 2000 they set out from Hefei, the provincial capital, some 500 miles south of Beijing, to explore the conditions of peasant life throughout the fifty-plus counties of Anhui, from the floodplains of the River Huai to the Yangtze Valley, travelling by bus or even on foot to reach the remotest villages.

Content is tailored to support deploying units of military police, civil affairs, and engineers. In 6–8 hours of self-paced training, Rapport familiarizes learners with conversational phrases and cultural traditions, as well as the geography and ethnic groups of the region. Learners hear the target language as it is spoken by a native speaker through 75–85 commonly encountered exchanges. Learners test their knowledge using assessment questions; Army personnel record their progress using ALMS and ATTRS. • Rapport is available online at the DLIFLC Rapport website http://rapport.dliflc.edu • Rapport is also available at AKO, DKO, NKO, and Joint Language University • Standalone hard copies of Rapport training, in CD format, are available for order through the DLIFLC Language Materials Distribution System (LMDS) http://www.dliflc.edu/resources/lmds/ DLIFLC 2 DEFENSE LANGUAGE INSTITUTE FOREIGN LANGUAGE CENTER CULTURAL ORIENTATION | Chinese-Mandarin About Rapport .............................................................................................................

  • Place-Making for the People: Socially Engaged Art in Rural China This
    Paper title: Place-Making for the People: Socially engaged art in Rural China This paper examines the work of a number of contemporary Chinese artists and curators who have devoted themselves to small-scale place construction in the battered countryside through artistic and cultural activities. Positioning this movement in the backdrop of the strikingly widening gap between the rural and the urban, I argue that the works of these art professionals not only provide critical reflections and bottom-up alternatives to the dominant social developmental discourse, but also activate and expand the potential of art as agent of social intervention, community building, and cultural change. 1. The Social Turn of Art in Contemporary China Wang Nanming （Fig 1）, the vocal Chinese art critic and curator, advocates the significance of socially engaged art, or social practices as he calls it, endeavored by a number of contemporary Chinese artists: “The avant-gardism of contemporary Chinese art lies in social volunteerism, a concept with endless potentials.…The practice and theory of artists as social workers lifts art to a boundless field, in which art could penetrate into every small part of the society.”1 Wang argues that “artist social workers” who employ their art to investigate current Chinese social problems and to initiate local-specific strategies of intervention and real social changes has become an important force of contemporary Chinese art.2 In his writing, there is a strong anticipation in the power and responsibility of art to engage with Chinese social reality. His theoretical inquiry echoes the effort of a growing number of Chinese artists and cultural professionals who have involved with various local communities and society at large in their artistic practices.

Howson: Corporate Law in the Shanghai People’s Courts, 1992-2008: Judicial Autonomy in a Contemporary Authoritarian State Nicholas Calcina Howson, University of Michigan Law School1 Abstract In late 2005 China adopted a largely rewritten Company Law that radically increased the role of courts. This study, based on a review of more than 1000 Company Law-related disputes reported between 1992 and 2008 and extensive interactions with PRC officials and sitting judges, evaluates how the Shanghai People’s Court system has fared over 15 years in corporate law adjudication. Although the Shanghai People’s Courts show generally increasing technical competence and even intimations of political independence, their path toward institutional autonomy is inconsistent.

Residents suspected the local Communist Party secretary of skimming public funds for his own use. Groups of villagers mounted multiple trips to township authorities, requesting the secretary be removed from his post. Gradually, problems spread. After sacking the Party secretary to appease popular sentiment, township authorities attempted to reassert control over local affairs by rigging village committee elections. Villagers, now incensed by a combination of both electoral and financial injustices, began a steady process of petitioning higher levels of government for redress of their grievances. Over the next two years, Faxi petitioners launched petitions and protests directed at a range of township, county, and provincial officials.
