  • Interracial Experience Across Colonial Hong Kong and Foreign Enclaves in China from the Late 1800S to the 1980S
    Volume 14, Number 2 • Spring 2017 Erasure, Solidarity, Duplicity: Interracial Experience across Colonial Hong Kong and Foreign Enclaves in China from the late 1800s to the 1980s By Vicky Lee, Ph.D., Hong Kong Baptist University Abstract: How were Eurasians perceived and classified in Hong Kong and China during this hundred-year period? Blood admixture was only one of many ways: others included patrilineal descent, choice of family name, and socio-economic background. Family-imposed silence on one’s Eurasian background remained strong, and individual attempts to erase one’s Eurasian identity were common for survival reasons. It is no wonder that government authorities often had difficulty quantifying their Eurasian population. What experiences of erasure of Eurasianness were shared both collectively and individually? A strong sense of Eurasian solidarity was manifested in different forms, such as intermarriage and community cemeteries. Duplicity was another common element in their experience: Name-changing practices and submission to the new Japanese government during the Occupation sometimes rendered Eurasians suspect during and after wartime. Memoirs reflect the constant psychological harassment of Eurasians in patriotic Chinese schools during 1940s Peking and in Tsingdao, and Eurasians became frequent targets for criticism during the Maoist Era. Many Eurasians experienced psychological and physical torment as their very faces were evidence enough to subject them to criticism and punishments.

As one book aptly sums up the baseline with its title: “No foreign bones in China”.2 In general, the Chinese attitude is summarized in the well-known dictum: “fallen leaves return to their roots” (luoye guigen 落葉歸根). Thus, even if a burial needs to be done somewhere else, it is conceived of as only temporary with the ideal of a one-day return “to the roots” – even if not manageable in practice. 3 In southern China, where secondary burial is common, this idea of “moving” the dead is not as unusual a thought as it might seem in most Western Christian contexts where the ideal is represented by “R.I.P.” (requiescat in pace): to leave the dead to rest in peace without disturbing them any further.

Abstract This thesis focuses on the narrative functions of motifs in Peter Ho-sun Chan’s love trilogy films on drifting Chinese people since the 1980s. The examination of object/setting motifs in Chapter One contributes to the understanding of character-traits. Chapter Two especially discusses the use of popular songs in Chan’s love trilogy by analyzing their explicit meaning conveyed by the lyrics, which is consistent with episodes of the plot, and the implicit and symptomatic meanings behind these songs, which actually arouse the collective memories among the audiences.

  • Asian Popular Culture
    ASIAN POPULAR CULTURE This book examines different aspects of Asian popular culture, including films, TV, music, comedy, folklore, cultural icons, the Internet and theme parks. It raises important questions such as: What are the implications of popularity of Asian popular culture for globalization? Do regional forces impede the globalizing of cultures? Does the Asian popular culture flow act as a catalyst or conveying channel for cultural globalization? Does the globalization of culture pose a threat to local culture? It addresses two seemingly contradictory and yet parallel processes in the circulation of Asian popular culture: the interconnectedness between Asian popu- lar culture and western culture in an era of cultural globalization that turns subjects such as Pokémon, hip-hop or cosmopolitan into truly global phenomena, and the local derivatives and versions of global culture that are necessarily disconnected from their origins in order to cater for the local market. It thereby presents a col- lective argument that, whilst local social formations, patterns of consumption and participation in Asia are still very much dependent on global cultural developments and the phenomena of modernity, such dependence is often concretized, reshaped and distorted by the local media to cater for the local market. Anthony Y.H. Fung is Director and Professor in the School of Journalism and Communication at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. He is the co-author of the book New Television Globalisation and the East Asian Cultural Imagination, and author of Global Capital, Local Culture: Localization of Transnational Media Corporations in China.
