Christian Women and the Making of a Modern Chinese Family: an Exploration of Nü Duo 女鐸, 1912–1951
Christian Women and the Making of a Modern Chinese Family: an Exploration of Nü duo 女鐸, 1912–1951 Zhou Yun A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of The Australian National University February 2019 © Copyright by Zhou Yun 2019 All Rights Reserved Except where otherwise acknowledged, this thesis is my own original work. Acknowledgements I would like to express my deep gratitude to my supervisor Dr. Benjamin Penny for his valuable suggestions and constant patience throughout my five years at The Australian National University (ANU). His invitation to study for a Doctorate at Australian Centre on China in the World (CIW) not only made this project possible but also kindled my academic pursuit of the history of Christianity. Coming from a research background of contemporary Christian movements among diaspora Chinese, I realise that an appreciation of the present cannot be fully achieved without a thorough study of the past. I was very grateful to be given the opportunity to research the Republican era and in particular the development of Christianity among Chinese women. I wish to thank my two co-advisers—Dr. Wei Shuge and Dr. Zhu Yujie—for their time and guidance. Shuge’s advice has been especially helpful in the development of my thesis. Her honest critiques and insightful suggestions demonstrated how to conduct conscientious scholarship. I would also like to extend my thanks to friends and colleagues who helped me with my research in various ways. Special thanks to Dr. Caroline Stevenson for her great proof reading skills and Dr. Paul Farrelly for his time in checking the revised parts of my thesis. -

China's 2017 Communist Party Leadership Structure & Transition
China’s 2017 Communist Party Leadership Structure & Transition US-CHINA BUSINESS COUNCIL JUNE 2017 China’s 2017 Communist Party Leadership Structure & Transition June 2017 Executive Summary ● The 19th Chinese Communist Party (CCP) congress, in fall 2017, is expected to mark the beginning of President Xi Jinping’s second, five-year term as China’s top leader and fill other senior political posts. In the past, some second-term party congresses have signaled leadership succession plans for the next congress. ● The party congress not only chooses top party personnel, but also establishes policy priorities for the subsequent five years. These priorities are condensed into a political report delivered by the party’s incumbent top leader on behalf of the Central Committee. ● Leadership turnover could be significant. If previous party congress norms hold, many key national and provincial party leaders could be replaced for reaching the targeted retirement age of 68. This means five of the seven current Politburo Standing Committee members could retire, leaving only President Xi and Premier Li Keqiang to continue. Additionally, at least 11 of the 25 members of the Politburo are likely to retire, based solely on retirement age. Average turnover in the larger Central Committee has been 60 percent, based on age and other factors. ● Changes to the majority of senior positions within the party and the State Council, China’s cabinet, will be announced on an ongoing basis through the National People’s Congress in March 2018. As part of the transition, many key government officials whose work affects trade and commerce in China will retire or be promoted to new positions. -

China’s Environmental Crisis Environmental Politics And Theory Our current environmental crisis cannot be solved by technological innovation alone. The premise of this Series is that the environmental challenges we face today are, at their root, political crises involving political values. Growing public consciousness of the environmental crisis and its human and nonhuman impacts exemplifi ed by the worldwide urgency and political activity associated with the consequences of climate change make it imperative to study and achieve a sustainable and socially just society. The Series collects, extends, and develops ideas from the burgeon- ing empirical and normative scholarship spanning many disciplines with a global perspective. It addresses the need for social change from the hegemonic, consumer capitalist society in order to realize environmental sustainability and social justice. The Series Editor is Joel Jay Kassiola, Professor of Political Science and Dean of The College of Behavioral and Social Sciences at San Francisco State University.

A Citation Yuan Longping
Conferment of the Degree of Doctor of Science, honoris causa A Citation Yuan Longping Rice fields that are luxuriantly verdant in early spring and glittering gold in late autumn form an ideal picture that has recurred in the Chinese mind since ancient times, as it augurs well for the healtþ growth of crops and a rich harvest of grain. Today, the dream of bygone millenniums has come true, and the one who has realized this green dream by creating the magical rice of the East is Professor Yuan Longping, the "Father of Hybrid Rice". Professor Yuan Longping's family came from Dean in Jiangxi Province, and he himself was born in the Peking Union Medical College Hospital in 1930, the second of five boys. His father worked for the Beijing-Wuhan Railway and his mother attended a church-run secondary school. It was a warm and enlightened famlly, and his mother was the young Longping's first teacher of English. She also made sure that traditional values such as "to study more, to make progress and to do good to others" were effectively implanted in his young mind. Thus Professor Yuan has cultivated a studious disposition and a deep concern for the public good since an early age. It was during an outing to the countryside, while at primary school in Wuhan, that he became impressed by what he saw in a horticultural farm. The trees, flowers and fruit fascinated his young mind and kindled his interest in gardening and agriculture. He made a promise to himsell there and then, that he would make agriculture his lifelong pursuit, and to this day he has not deviated from that course. -
