  • Do Away with the Ideology of Bourgeois Right

    Do Away with the Ideology of Bourgeois Right

    Do Away with the Ideology of Bourgeois Right By Zhang Chunqiao, People’s Daily, October 13, 1958 Translator’s Note: At the time he wrote this, Zhang Chunqiao had been a member of the city commit- tee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) in Shanghai, publisher of the Shanghai newspaper Lib- eration, and a leader in attacking Rightist cultural figures in Shanghai. The article reflects the enthu- siasm for a rapid transition to communism that came out of the People’s Commune movement in 1958. Although the egalitarian “supply system” had been officially abolished in 1955, Zhang argues that it should be brought back and extended to the whole society. Mao considered this idea in 1958, and this article was only reprinted in Beijing’s People’s Daily at Mao’s insistence and with an (un- signed) introductory note that Mao wrote. Zhang later played a significant role in the Cultural Revolu- tion, and was prosecuted by the CPC’s victors as a member of the “Gang of Four.” Condemned to death, his sentence was later commuted to life in prison. He was released for medical reasons in 1998, and died in 2005. Editor's note: This essay of Comrade Zhang Chunqiao appeared in the Shanghai "Liberation" semi- monthly, number six, [1958], and is now reprinted here for discussion by comrades. This question needs discussion, because of the important issues now facing us. We think that Zhang's essay is ba- sically correct, but somewhat one-sided, precisely because what is said about the historical process may not be the complete explanation.

    Chinese Cultural Revolution

    Chinese Cultural Revolution Background Guide Written by: Sruthi Venkatachalam and Patrick Lee, Case Western Reserve University ​ The Rise of Modern China The reign of the Chinese dynasties ended in 1911 leading to China’s emergence into the modern world. China’s weakness in the 20th century, as seen in the devastating loss in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-95, stirred unrest and murmurs of uprising among the population. In 1911, armed rebellions broke out in response to the nationalization of railways in the Sichuan province, word of which spread across China. This snowballed and lead warlords to rebel against the weak imperial regime. Such rebellion in Wuchuan led to the overthrow of the provincial government and revolutionary leader Sun Yixian took advantage of the regime’s weakness. He later returned from exile, elected provisional president He saw that the emperor be abdicated, and resign power allowing Yuan Shikai, imperial minster entrusted with full power via the courts, to become the nation’s first president.1 In early 1912, the reign of Imperial China, Yuan Shikai’s attempt to become military dictator was thwarted and the Nationalist party, the Guomindang, also known as the Kuomintang (GMD) took control of the country in 1923. Sun Yixian, now president, reorganized the party that made it a centralized, democratic party. The GMD worked with the nearly formed Chinese Communist Party, with Soviet assistance, to reunite China and end the control of warlords running rampant in the 1 Wang, Yi Chu. “Sun Yat-sen : Chinese Leader.” n.d.

  • Local Politics in the Chinese Cultural Revolution: Nanjing Under Military Control

    Local Politics in the Chinese Cultural Revolution: Nanjing Under Military Control

    The Journal of Asian Studies Vol. 70, No. 2 (May) 2011: 425–447. © The Association for Asian Studies, Inc., 2011 doi:10.1017/S0021911811000039 Local Politics in the Chinese Cultural Revolution: Nanjing Under Military Control DONG GUOQIANG AND ANDREW G. WALDER China’s protracted regional conflicts of 1967 and 1968 have long been under- stood as struggles between conservative and radical forces whose opposed inter- ests were so deeply rooted in existing patterns of power and privilege that they defied the imposition of military control. This study of Nanjing, a key provincial capital that experienced prolonged factional conflict, yields a new explanation: the conflicts were prolonged precisely because they could not be characterized as pitting “conservatives” against “radicals”, making it difficult for central offi- cials, local military forces, or Mao Zedong to decide how to resolve them. Fur- thermore, Beijing officials, regional military forces, and local civilian cadres were themselves divided against one another, exacerbating and prolonging local conflicts. In competing for approval from central authorities, local factions adopted opportunistic and rapidly shifting political stances designed to portray their opponents as reactionary conservatives—charges that had no basis in fact. HE CHINESE CULTURAL REVOLUTION —in particular the initial two years of Tmass political conflict that devastated China’s civilian government—was a traumatic and pivotal event in modern Chinese history. It was intensively chronicled and analyzed outside China in its immediate aftermath, and for much of the subsequent decade by social scientists eager to conceptualize and interpret the conflict in structural terms. Academic interest in these events quickly waned outside China in the post-Mao era, almost forgotten, as the coun- try’s remarkable change of course attracted the bulk of scholarly attention.

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.

  • The Market, Ideology, and Convention Jingju Performers’ Creativity in the 21St Century Li Ruru

    The Market, Ideology, and Convention Jingju Performers’ Creativity in the 21St Century Li Ruru

    The Market, Ideology, and Convention Jingju Performers’ Creativity in the 21st Century Li Ruru Driven by the imperatives of a changing society and the pressures of new technology, China’s theatre is undergoing continual transformation, both in its performance and understanding by practitioners and in its reception by audiences. Jingju (known in the West as Beijing Opera) — a highly stylized theatrical genre founded on specific role types and spectacular stage conven- tions — is no exception to this process. As new media devices and possibilities appear at an unprecedented pace, these developments afford artists tremendous choices and fundamentally alter not only what constitutes theatre but also the mentality of practitioners and spectators. Since the nadir of the Cultural Revolution, a more than tenfold increase in gross domestic product has made China a powerful voice in the global capitalist community and a generous benefactor of its theatre. The budget for starting a stage show can now easily reach around five million RMB (about US$800,000). “Forging exquisite productions” (dazao jingpin) to obtain Figure 1.
