JT ONDON, September 3-r- -( Associated Press) The greatest defeat in yesterday by General Haig, who literal ever inflicted upon the Germans any one day was administered - i J ly smashed the .German lines along a thirty mile front; capturing thousands, killing more thousands, and driving so' tar ahead in places as to make it practically certain that the old Hindenburg line, with all its elaborate system of defense, now offers no refuge for the beaten armies of von Ludendorff. 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. C2 From the appearance of the general situation last night ftseems certain that the Germans will have to realign their positions all the way from Rheims to the Flemish bor- der and possibly almost to the Nprth Sea. ; f" The southern. portion of the Drocourt-Quean-t line, known to the Germans as the Wotan line, is completely smashed along ten miles, from the Scarpe to Queant, with British and Canadians three miles past it and still advancing. ' Here the Germans are falling back in tangled confusion, with so many surrendering that the number of prisoners is embarrassing tne Driusn advance. har in advance of the infantry are large numbers of tanks the greater number beincr fast machines, while accompanying these are motor machine gun batteries. These .have reached the Canal du Nord in large numbers and seized the bridgeheads. Others have advanced through the fleeing lines of Germans to the Douai-Marquio- n road and have taken up positions along the rear ot the Uermans, holding them while the oncoming Allies drive the beaten regiments into added confusion. On the south the British are gradually approaching the Hindenburg line, recapturing several important points during the day and driving the Germans at all points. In the Lys salient the British-America- n forces are beating the Germans wherever they make a stand ,and advancing closely on their heels along those portions of the line where the enemy is making voluntary retirements.

    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.

Sen tavoitteena on selvittää, miten romaani kuvaa kulttuurivallankumousta ja sen suhdetta Mao Zedongin jälkeiseen aikakauteen Kiinan historiassa, miten se käsittelee fanatismin ja rationaalisuuden välistä suhdetta sekä millaisina se esittää ihmiskunnan mahdollisuudet välttyä tulevaisuudessa kulttuurivallankumoukseen verrattavissa olevalta väkivallalta ja siitä mahdollisesti seuraavalta ihmislajin tuhoutumiselta. Tutkielmassa hyödynnetään Max Horkheimerin ja Theodor Adornon valistuskriittistä ajattelua sekä pyritään sijoittamaan romaani kiinalaisen modernin ja kulttuurivallankumouksen jälkeisen kirjallisuuden kontekstiin.

Major Interests: schematization and conceptualization of humiliation, naming and necessity. Email: [email protected] Personal web page: http://www.humiliationstudies.org/research/teamlong.php#jiuquanhan Abstract In this thesis, we first find the etymological meanings of xing and then introduce briefly the phases of wu xing, Five Penalties—the Old，the Transitional, the New and its remains. And we reach a conclusion that the “five penalties” involves more psychological, cultural, social and historical complications rather than sheer development of productivity for the most destructive wars in the last century and the war still lasting in the so-called modern and postmodern worlds are obvious enough for us to witness violence, torture and humiliation blooming here and there just like LES FLEURS DU MAL. Namely, the “Five Penalties”’ generation, construction, promotion, reformation, execution and related interpretations are just the comprehensive result of a qaudrinity of psychological, cultural, social and historical interactions in ancient Chinese culture with the collective

  • Teachings of the TAO
    ABOUT THE BOOK “The Tao that can be spoken of is not the real Way,” reads a famous line from the Tao-te ching. But although the Tao cannot be described by words, words can allow us to catch a fleeting glimpse of that mysterious energy of the universe which is the source of life. The readings in this book are a beginner’s entrée into the vast treasury of writings from the sacred Chinese tradition, consisting of original translations of excerpts from the Taoist canon. Brief introductions and notes on the translation accompany the selections from the classics; books of devotional and mystical Taoism; texts of internal alchemy; stories of Taoist immortals, magicians, and sorcerers; ethical tracts; chants and rituals; and teachings on meditation and methods of longevity. EVA WONG is an independent scholar and a practitioner of the Taoist arts of the Pre-Celestial Way and Complete Reality lineages. She has written and translated many books on Taoism and related topics, including A Master Course in Feng-Shui; Tales of the Taoist Immortals; and Taoism: An Essential Guide.
