They intended to make an empty show of strength, a show that was designed for others to watch. Our proposals are: (1) Our border garrisons should not respond to the demands of the Soviet border garrisons. (2) We should adjust the positions of our cannons, aiming at the enemy's artillery posts and concealed concentration areas for T-62 tanks and armored vehicles. After the enemy artillery has fired for a few days, we should suddenly fire back, causing heavy casualties for them. We should then issue our protest statement. The timing [for taking this action] should be on the eve of the publication of Vice Chairman Lin's report. We are waiting for Chairman [Mao]'s instructions on whether or not this idea is appropriate.30 Zhou Enlai.

China: a Country Study
Historical Setting Nationalists and Communists soon resumed. Realizing that Ameri- can efforts short of large-scale armed intervention could not stop the war, the United States withdrew the American mission, headed by General George C. Marshall, in early 1947. The civil war, in which the United States aided the Nationalists with massive eco- nomic loans but no military support, became more widespread. Battles raged not only for territories but also for the allegiance of cross sections of the population. Belatedly, the Nationalist government sought to enlist popular support through internal reforms. The effort was in vain, however, because of the rampant corruption in government and the accom- panying political and economic chaos. By late 1948 the Nation- alist position was bleak. The demoralized and undisciplined Nationalist troops proved no match for the People's Liberation Army (PLA). The Communists were well established in the north and northeast. Although the Nationalists had an advantage in num- bers of men and weapons, controlled a much larger territory and population than their adversaries, and enjoyed considerable inter- national support, they were exhausted by the long war with Japan and the attendant internal responsibilities. In January 1949 Bei- ping was taken by the Communists without a fight, and its name was changed back to Beijing. Between April and November, major cities passed from Guomindang to Communist control with minimal resistance. In most cases the surrounding countryside and small towns had come under Communist influence long before the cities. After Chiang Kai-shek and a few hundred thousand Nationalist troops fled from the mainland to the island of Taiwan, there remained only isolated pockets of resistance.

“Young Guards”: the Recent High Turnover in the PLA Leadership (Part I: Purges and Reshuffles)
Promoting “Young Guards”: The Recent High Turnover in the PLA Leadership (Part I: Purges and Reshuffles) Cheng Li The continuing consolidation of power has been the most noticeable trend under the leadership of Xi Jinping since the 18th National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party in November 2012. Undoubtedly, a key component in this strengthening of both Xi’s personal power and his new administration’s authority has centered on the military domain. Xi has gone about the consolidation process through several important political and tactical moves, including the purges of the two highest-ranking generals under the previous administration on corruption and other charges; the arrest of over 40 senior military officers on various charges of wrongdoing; large-scale reshuffling of generals between regions, departments, and services; ongoing efforts to reform the PLA structure and operations; and, most importantly, the rapid promotion of “young guards” (少壮派) in the Chinese military. All of these bold measures will have profound implications—not only for Xi’s political standing in preparation for the next leadership turnover in 2017, but also for the trajectory of civilian-military relations in the country and for the assessment of China’s military modernization. The first installation in this series focuses on the recent purges and reshuffling of military leaders, which has significant consequences in the political dynamics of present-day China. It is an old saying in the history of the Chinese Communist movement that “political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.”1 Although this famous Mao Zedong slogan emphasizes the Communist doctrine that the party commands the army in seizing and retaining state power, a top party leader’s consolidation of personal power cannot be achieved without strong support from the military.

Images for Iconoclasts: Images of Confucius in the Cultural Revolution Abstract Confucius died and was buried in 479 B.C.E., and he was never seen again. Or so one would think. “You may forget me as I once was,” Confucius reminds us in the Zhuangzi, "but there is something unforgettable about me that will still live on." Confucius’s physical frame was concealed from sight below ground, but his body and face were not forgotten either by his followers or his detractors, each of whom remembered him (or remembered him) in different ways. People created semblances of Confucius that reflected their own visions of the past, and constructions of his body took on many lives of their own over the succeeding centuries.

All Rights Reserved. 2 This thesis titled The Photographically Mediated Identity: Jiang Qing (1914—1991) by YI LIU has been approved for the School of Art and the College of Fine Arts by Marion Lee Associate Professor of Art History Charles A. McWeeny Dean, College of Fine Arts 3 ABSTRACT LIU,YI, M.A., August 2012, Art History The Photographically-mediated Identity: Jiang Qing (1914—1991) (91.pp) Director of Thesis: Marion Lee This thesis is a study of Jiang Qing’s 江青 (1914-1991) published photographic works in Chinese national magazines from early 1950s to 1976. Dividing her works into three categories in chronological order, I will investigate how she continuously fashioned her own identity through the manipulation of photography in her pursuit of recognition, fame, and power before and during the Cultural Revolution, a socio-political campaign launched by her husband Mao Zedong 毛泽东 (1893—1976) to regain power and consolidate authority through the revolutionary campaign in ideological spheres, such as class struggle and eradication of old culture and custom. By regarding her works and her association with photography as text, based on which the historical context can be reconstructed, I purport to examine her role in the Cultural Revolution, concluding that her primary perceived identity as Mao’s wife facilitated her rapid rise to power but also curbed her self-fulfillment and resulted in her final downfall soon after Mao died.
