He has set the best role model of a scholar for me with his outstanding theoretical and practical contributions to the ethnography of communication studies and with his gentleness, kindness, and humbleness. He is always there ready to address any of my questions, even when he is away for conferences or for vacations. He has the keenest insight to understand my research project and put forward suggestions that are right to the point albeit the language barrier. He cheered me up and cheered me on for any bit of the progress that I painstakingly made while attending to all the other obligations in life as a daughter, a wife, and a mother of three young children. Words cannot express enough all my gratitude and appreciation to him as a mentor, a scholar, a colleague, and a lifelong friend. I want to thank the other members of my committee, Professor Benjamin Bailey and Professor Zhongwei Shen. I had worked as a teaching assistant for Professor Bailey before and was truly impressed by his excellent scholarship in his teaching and research areas in language, culture, and social identities. Professor Shen is a prominent Chinese scholar with research interests in mechanism of sound change, Chinese historical phonology, early history of Mandarin seen from ancient Altaic scripts, and Chinese dialectology. I am truly blessed by their superb expertise and warm, encouraging personalities. iv I want to thank faculties, colleagues, and staffs, at the Department of Communication here. Professors Carolyn Anderson, Briankle Chang, Leda Cooks, Vernon Cronen, Jarice Hanson, Michael Morgan, Erica Sharrer; friends and colleagues David Boromisza-Habashi, John Chetro-Szivos, Elizabeth Fullon, Li Gu, Liliya Karimova, Sunny Lie,Keming Lin, Zixu Liu, Eric Morgan, Istaban De Rio, Lisa Rudnick, Max Saito, Michelle Scollo, Lin Shi, Ching Sung, Cindy Suopis, Rebecca Townsend; and staff members Debbie Madigan, Kathy Ready, Susan Dreyer, and April Tidlund have all showed their support and encouragement to me in their own ways throughout the past years. I want to thank Sharon Domier, the East Asian Studies Librarian at UMass Du Bois library. She is the one maintaining subscriptions to databases in East Asian Studies. I have been frequently using Oriprobe Info Services which allows access to the online archive of the Chinese newspaper, People’s Daily, where I got the majority of the data for my dissertation research. She always responded to my emails of inquiries regarding access to Oriprobe in a timely manner. The ILL (Interlibrary Loan) service here has also helped me tremendously by searching for and digitally delivering papers I requested very quickly. During the editing stage, Elisa Campbell from OIT went out of her way and helped me significantly by solving all the problems occurred after I applied the dissertation template to my draft and transforming it to its current beautiful appearance to meet all the requirements from Graduate School about style and format. To all of them goes my heartfelt appreciation. I want to thank brothers and sisters from Amherst Chinese Christian Church and Chinese Bible Church of Greater Lowell. Brother Weimin Chen and Sister Zhaorong Liu, v Pastor James Chung and Mrs. Jean Chung, Brother Wingyiu Ho and Sister Manying Wu, Brother Yuh-Fang Hsiao and Sister Shuchen Kuo, Brother Li-Kuang Huang and Sister Chifan Li, Brother Lu Ji and Sister Fang Liu, Brother Ruifeng Li and Sister Zhongzhen Li, Brother Bing Liang and Sister Ellen Yan, Pastor Gene Liu and Mrs. Jeanette Liu, Pastor Henry Lu and Mrs. Ling Lu, Sister Yenchun Mao, Brother Yi Sun and Sister Yifan Tu, “Grandpa” Charile Wang and “Grandma” May Wang, Brother Shijin Wang and Sister Guiyan Qu, Pastor Yuqing Wang and Mrs. Fengqiu Zhang, Brother Baoshan Xing and Sister Tingjuan Song, Brother Zhengrong Zhu and Sister Xiaowen Liu are just a few among all that I want to name and give thanks to. What’s more, Sisters Xiaoyan Li, Sally Teague, Meng Shiou Shieh, and Brother Lie Wang are my “off-campus dissertation committee members” to whom I emailed at the same time whenever I updated my advisor to report progress. I couldn’t forget how, during all the past years, my church brothers and sisters supported our family, which grew from two to three, to four, and then to five members, with persistent prayers, encouraging words, genuine love, and concrete helps. They cared particularly about my dissertation writing and reached out in various ways to help me – some devoted time to discuss and brainstorm with me about my research topic; some helped me proofreading chapters I finished; some offered childcare so I could work more on my dissertation; and some sent me emails regularly as a gentle token of reminders… and all of them lifted me up faithfully and consistently in their prayers. Through them I came to see what it means to be a family in Christ. I want to thank my parents and my two sisters for their deep love, care and financial help to me far away from China. Xin Ge, my oldest sister, lives close to our elderly parents and has been taking good care of them without any complaints in all the vi years; Sheng Ge, my older sister, who is an esteemed nutritionist in Shanghai and a professor at the Medical School associated with Shanghai Jiaotong University, who has access to all the major digital academic databases in China, helped me retrieve full texts for all the Chinese theses, dissertations, and journal articles that I need and emailed them to me with no delay. Without her I would not be able to have access to some of the most important references that I used in my dissertation. My family is dear to my heart and is one of the most important reasons that keep me focused on my goal in the past years. I want to thank my husband, Guoshu Yuan, and our daughters, Christine, Isabelle, and Marina, for going through all the past years with me, praying for my dissertation before each meal, and helping me in their own ways. The kids have been counting the days this summer, and patiently waiting for the time that Mommy finishes her dissertation and can play with them again, and I couldn’t wait to have more time with them, to read the Bible together, to sing together, to take a walk together, to laugh together, to enjoy their childhood together, as much as we can. Many other friends, such as Vanessa Blais, have generously helped me by giving their time, thoughts and encouragement on my dissertation project. It is simply not possible for me to thank them all here. But I will cherish deep down in my heart all the hands they gave me that have brought me to the very end of this long journey, that have made a “mission impossible” possible. Any inadequacies of this dissertation are mine, which I hope can be improved in the future, when the learning process continues in life. vii ABSTRACT A TALE OF “KU” (BITTER) V.S. “TIAN” (SWEET): UNDERSTANDING CHINA’S “YIKU SITIAN” MOVEMENT IN THE 1960S AND 1970S FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF CULTURAL DISCOURSE ANALYSIS February 2016 XINMEI GE B.A., BEIJING INTERNATIONAL STUDIES UNIVERSITY M.A., BEIJING UNIVERSITY PH.D., UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS AMHERST Directed by: Professor Donal Carbaugh “Yiku sitian” is a political movement prevalent in P. R. China in the 1960s and 1970s. It means, literally, to “recall bitterness” and to “reflect on sweetness”. It identifies a particular type of social practice commonly enacted publicly and privately for people to recall how “bitter” life was in “jiu shehui” (the old society) and how “sweet” life was in “xin shehui” (the new society).

  • The Expression Method Exploration of Folk Culture in Urban Public Art --Take Paper-Cut Sculpture in Harbin Daowai's Northeast Folk Culture Series As Example
    6th International Conference on Electronics, Mechanics, Culture and Medicine (EMCM 2015) The Expression Method Exploration of Folk Culture in Urban Public Art --Take Paper-Cut Sculpture in Harbin Daowai's Northeast Folk Culture Series as Example Zhenkun Han and Zhengzheng Tang School of Architecture, Harbin Institute of Technology, 150001, No. 66, Xidazhi Street, Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province, China [email protected],[email protected] Keywords: Folk culture ;Expression method ;Northeast paper-cut ;Eighteen oddities in Northeast China; Thirty-six industries in Northeast China Abstract. As the concept which reflects the most general rules of the popular culture, the folk culture is provided with the features of groupment, practicability, regionalism, stability as well as changeability. Northeasterners are admirably impressed by the unique folk culture which is created by the distinctive geographical conditions and history factors in northeast China. The folk culture expression by the urban public art will not only realize the innovation on the pattern, but also satisfy the inheriting of urban culture. The text takes the paper-cut sculpture in Harbin off-piste folk culture series as example to seek for the folk culture expression method in the urban public art. Folk Culture Overview The Concept of Folk Culture. Folk, namely, the folk customs. Refers to the general term of the folk living culture of the folk people. It also refers to the folk living customs which are created, shared and inherited by the public of a country, people and region in general.

  • A Case of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Great Bay Area
    ISSN: 2278-3369 International Journal of Advances in Management and Economics Available online at: www.managementjournal.info RESEARCH ARTICLE Sector Structure and Economic Growth: A Case of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Great Bay Area Tingting Ling* School of International Business, Ji'nan University, China. Abstract The degree of optimization of industrial structure has become one of the core powers of modern economic growth engine. Using the data from 1996 to 2016 and taking the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao great bay area as an example, this paper made an empirical analysis on the contribution of industrial structure adjustment variables of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao great bay area to economic growth, and concluded that the optimization and adjustment of industrial structure in the great bay area had a significant positive correlation with economic growth. In order to strengthen the bay area economy, bay area cities should speed up the adjustment of industrial structure and the elimination of backward production capacity. Furthermore, bay area cities should combine the elements of innovation-driven development, explore the tertiary industry with local characteristics, and take the tertiary industry as the engine for the economic development of the whole bay area. Keywords: Economic Growth, Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao great bay area, Optimization of industrial structure. Introduction The Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao great bay between the Mainland and Hong Kong and area refer to urban agglomerations consisting Macao, study and formulate plans for the of 9 cities (Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Foshan, development of cities and towns in Dongguan, Huizhou, Zhuhai, Zhongshan, Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macau in the Jiangmen, Zhaoqing ) and two special Great Bay Area, and play Hong Kong and administrative regions (Hong Kong and Macao Unique advantages.
