    The Mao Era in Objects Documentary Film (纪录片) Ying Qian, Columbia University Summary Films are objects whose production requires resources, labor and technology, and whose distribution requires infrastructure. Films also present other objects on the screen. Documentary images, in particular, are supposed to tell truths about the physical and historical world we live in. This biography discusses the substantial resources committed to filmmaking by the young PRC: in one example, the People’s Liberation Army re-enacted four major battles in the Chinese Civil War for the camera. Why was there a perceived need for re-enactment, and what it might tell us about the society where the film was produced? Introduction In October 1949, soldiers in the People’s Liberation Army’s (PLA) Fourth Field Army, who had just recently arrived and settled in their new station near Tianjin, were told that they would again be transferred back to the northeast, where their battalions had fought victorious battles against the Nationalist army a year before. Canons, tanks, and tens of thousands of soldiers were loaded onto trains. Soon the open plains near Jinzhou, where the dust of war had barely settled, were shaken again by cannons and gunfire. Between autumn 1949 and summer 1950, four major battles marking PLA’s victory over the Nationalists were re-enacted for the purpose of making PRC’s first color documentary Victory of the Chinese People (Zhongguo renmin de shengli 中国人民的胜利 ), a Sino-Soviet coproduction directed by the renowned Soviet filmmaker Leonid Varlamov 29 [see C9 source: Victory of the Chinese People, see also title screen of Victory of the Chinese People depicted to the left ].

Despite other more pressing matters, the regime felt I it had urgent reasons to commemorate the life of a man whose reign began in 2,333 BC. Unlike later Korean kingdoms, Tangun’s capital was close to Pyongyang, not Seoul. And so, in 1994, as South Korea blazed ahead in the battle for economic and political legitimacy on the Korean peninsula, the North reached into the past to claim its own. It was said Tangun’s father had come to earth from heaven near the holy Mount Paektu on North Korea’s border with China.

    1 1. A Retrospective on the Study of Chinese Civil-Military Relations Since 1979: What Have We Learned? Where Do We Go? By Thomas J. Bickford University of Wisconsin–Oshkosh The past 20 years have seen many changes in the People’s Liberation Army and the Chinese political system. Despite limited information and other problems inherent in the subject, it has been a very productive time in the study of Chinese civil-military relations, and the field currently enjoys a large and varied literature. Twenty years of research and debate have produced some important points of agreement. The PLA remains an important political factor in Chinese politics though there has been considerable debate about how extensive that role actually is. Everyone also agrees that the military has been largely loyal to civilian (that is, Communist Party) leadership and that any understanding of Chinese civil-military relations must take this into account. Indeed, overt challenges to civilian rule are rare in all Leninist regimes.1 It is also generally agreed that PLA officers are better trained, educated, and professionally oriented than 20 years ago. Yet in many respects, there was greater clarity at the beginning of this 20-year period than there is now. At the beginning of the 1980s there were two rather distinct approaches to interpreting civil-military relations in China and the trends seemed fairly clear. Today, there is a greater diversity of analytical approaches and the available evidence, as Ellis Joffe has noted, provides a confusion of trends and countertrends.2 Much work remains to be done if we are to understand how civil-military relations in China are evolving.
