    APPENDIX 1: Sample Confessions CH'U SSU ygo was a sect teacher from a village southeast of Peking. He was arrested in the fall of 1813. The rebels had considered and then rejected a plan for Ch'u Ssu to lead his men in an attack upon the imperial entourage as it returned from Jehol, and Ch'u was interrogated repeatedly about this plan. His various confessions about this and other matters, taken together with those of some of his associates, illustrate the kinds of information contained in con­ fessions, the reliability of such testimony, and the judicial process that produced them. A. First Interrogation of Ch'ii Ssu Memorial from the Grand Council and the Board of Punishments (KKCK 207.1, CC 18/9/24): On 9/23 we received a report from the censors for the south city [of Peking] saying that they had seized the criminal Ch'ii Ssu and [others]. They have been interrogated. The text of Ch'ii Ssu's confession is attached. Confession of Ch'ii Ssu (KKCK 208.1, 18/9/24) From T'ung district. Age thirty-six. Mother Miss Meng. Older brother Ch'ii Wen-hsiang. Wife Miss Ts'ai. My son Ch'ang-yu-r is ten. I was born the son of Ch'u Te-hsin but then I was adopted by Ch'u Wu. When I was nineteen, Liu Ti-wu brought me and Ch'ii Wen­ hsiang to take Ku Liang (who has since died) as our teacher. I entered the sect and recited the eight characters "Eternal Progenitor in Our Original Home in the World of True Emptiness." On the 14th day of the 8th month [of 1813] Lin Ch'ing told Liu Ti-wu to put me in charge of one to two hundred men and lead them to Yen-chiao [outside Peking] to rise up there.

  • Foreign Literary Influence in Liu Cixin's Diqiu Wangshi
    Foreign Literary Influence in Liu Cixin's Diqiu Wangshi This thesis is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Research School of Humanities and the Arts at the Australian National University William John Peyton Submitted July 2019 Declaration This thesis is my own work and all sources used, to the best of my knowledge, have been acknowledged. Except where previously published English translations have been cited, all Chinese material used in this thesis has been translated by myself. William John Peyton Acknowledgments My sincerest thanks go to Ye Zhengdao, Will Christie and Russell Smith for their essential insights and feedback as well as their continual encouragement and guidance over the course of the project. I would also like to thank my family for their sustained support from the beginning. This dissertation would likewise not have been possible without the funding provided through the Australian Government Research Training Scholarship, the Australian National University and the Center for Chinese Studies at the National Central Library in Taipei. Abstract This thesis examines Liu Cixin’s Diqiu Wangshi (The Remembrance of Earth’s Past), a Chinese science fiction trilogy whose translation is unprecedently popular in the Western world. In his interviews and critical writings, Liu Cixin often explains that he is predominantly influenced by modern and contemporary Anglophone authors, including George Orwell, Arthur C. Clarke and Aldous Huxley, among others. By considering Liu’s trilogy in view of such influences, this thesis breaks down the aesthetic and thematic components of Diqiu Wangshi, these being scientism, humanism, historicism and utopianism. It also considers the influence of the Chinese author Wang Meng’s youth fiction Qingchun Wansui and how its idealism helps to shape the aesthetic and moral character of Liu’s work.

In the north, along a wide front the Germans are falling back panic stricken, with British tanks and armored cars cutting through the ranks, with hosts of allied airmen bombing and spraying the retreating divisions with machine gun fire, with tank detachments sweeping in behind the Germann and seizing the bridges along the avenues of re- treat. V '"" The Hindenburg line is now hopelessly butflanked on the north, while the French are rapidly approaching the southern base of the line and the Franco-America- ns are driv- ing eastward from the Soissons front and threatening to outflank the Huns at Laon.
