The project is part of the long-term collaboration between the IISH in Amsterdam and the Sinological Institute of the University of Leiden, and was funded by the Dutch Ministry of Education and Science (Ministerie van Onderwijs en Wetenschap: HW/OI/UB 836.720, 22 August 1989). For a description of the goals and history of the project we refer to the introduction of volume I. We decided however to reprint the manual of the inventory and database from volume I, because some minor alterations had to made pertaining to the materials listed in volume II. Most importantly, the place numbers of the photographs and slides had to be changed because of an internal reorganisation at the IISH image & sound department. The numbers of photographs beginning with BG A25/ now begin with BG A35/. Similarly, BG B5/ had to be changed into BG B6/. These two changes have also already been entered in the second impression of volume I. After volume I of this inventory was published we received a considerble amount of new material about the people's movement, enough to justify the publication of a third volume of the inventory. However, we will not start the preparation of volume III before the end of 1992 and hope that the publication of volume II will convince more people to share their materials with us. Lastly, we hope that readers who have suggestions or criticisms concerning the content of both volume I and II will not hesitate to contact us. F.P. & F.L. Amsterdam, December 1991 vi International Institute of Social History www.iisg.nl/collections/tiananmen/ 1. MANUAL INVENTORY AND DATABASE A. Outline The program used for the database is DBASE III+, while the memo fields within each database use WORDPERFECT 5.0. The entire collection consist actually of 4 separate databases. Volume one of the printed inventory consists of the database ARCHIVE, volume two of IKON and REPORT (for descriptions of these databases see the Introduction of Volume I, section B). In Dbase III+ the databases can be connected to each other through the the common fields ITEM_NO and COLLECTION using view (.vue) files. In the databases British spelling is used, while Chinese is transcribed according to the official hanyu pinyin spelling. A word between square brackets (i.e. [word]) gives our best guess at a word which is difficult to read, while a question mark between square brackets (i.e. [?]) indicates an illegible word or character. The other symbols used in the AUTHOR1 and TITLE1 fields (i.e. ?()<>=+-"'/|!) try to give an approximation as close as possible to the symbol in the original text. An exception is the Chinese enumerative (reverse) comma, which we have transcribed as an ordinary (i.e. ,) comma. In the REMARKS field "see collection Munro" and "see (reprinted in) Shiyue pinglun" indicate that the same document is also available in these collections (see the Introduction of Volume I section C). B. Description of the database fields Databases ARCHIVE, IKON, and REPORT PLACE_NO The number identifying the physical location of the document or object. This can either be a number specifying the box, folder, and sheet numbers in the IISH archive department, or the number of the slide/photograph/negative/videotape/audiotape on which the document appears, and kept at the IISH image and sound (beeld en geluid) department. If more than one copy in different mediums (for instance a photograph, a negative, a photocopied pamphlet) of a document is available, they will be entered as separate records with separate place and item numbers. Cross-references to different copies will be entered in the field REMARKS (see below). Format for different types of objects/locations: -Documents by box, folder, sheet: xxx/xxx/xxx. Because this is a character-type field all "x"'s stand for a digit, i.e. PAM 001/001/001 (This holds for all other numbers in the other fields as well). -Photographs (10 X 18 cm): BG A35/xxx. -Photographs (18 X 24 cm and larger): BG B6/xxx. -Slides: BG SL100/xxx. -Negatives: BG AAxxx/xx (strip/negative number). 1 International Institute of Social History www.iisg.nl/collections/tiananmen/ -Videotapes: BG AV7/xxx. Numbers starting with SFW are stored at the Stichting Film en Wetenschap (Film and Science Foundation) at the IISH building. -Audiotapes: BG AV8/xxx. Numbers starting with SFW are stored at the Stichting Film en Wetenschap (Film and Science Foundation) at the IISH building. -Material objects: 4-A-9 and 4-A-10. -paper flag: 6-I-16. -posters, stickers, T-shirts, badges: no number: have to be requested directly from the image & sound department. -Flags & banner: S5/19; 3-F-6; 7-C-3. ITEM_NO This is the unique number for each item. The reason for having separate place and item numbers is that many documents, slides, and tapes contain more than text or other item. Format for item numbers: -Texts (i.e. anything longer than a single slogan) on pamphlets, articles in unofficial newspapers, revolutionary graffiti and banners: PAM xxxxx. -(Articles in) non-Chinese newspapers and magazines, transcriptions or translations of documents and tape recordings, eye-witness accounts: NWS xxxxx. -(Articles in) Chinese newspapers, books, periodicals: CHI xxxxx. -Radio programs on tape: RAD xxxxx. -TV programs on tape: TVE xxxxx. -Audiorecordings (excl. radio programs): AUD xxxxx. -Videorecordings (excl. TV programs): VID xxxxx. -Photographs (incl. slides and negatives): PHO xxxxx. -Material objects (badges, clothing, head-bands): OBJ xxxxx. -Banners and flags: BAN xxxxx. -Posters, cartoons, and stickers: POS xxxxx. COLLECTION Gives the name of the person or organisation who contributed the document/object. Full details about the collection and the donator are entered in the database SOURCES. The field COLLECTION in both databases allows to link the two together using a view (.vue) file. PLACE Place where a document was written, a picture taken, etc. Note that this does not refer to the place were the author is from. DATE Date of writing, recording, photographing. This, too, is a character-type field so dates should be entered year first, then month, then (if known) day: 198x/xx/xx. Undated documents get, if possible, the date when they were collected, photographed, or taped. Conventions used in this field are: "EO" (end of (month, year)); "BO" (beginning of); "MO" (middle of); "-" (from X to Y or between X and Y, i.e. 1989/04-06 is from April to June 1989); "," (X or Y, i.e. 1989/04,05 is April or May 1989). TYPE Physical form of document/object: (mimeographed, photocopied, printed) document (i.e. originals), photocopy, reprint, transcript, manuscript, newspaper, magazine, journal, book, colour photograph, colour slide, B&W (i.e. black and white) photograph, negative, audiotape, videotape, object, banner, poster, sticker, botton, flag. Note that TYPE refers to the object as it is present in the collection. A photographed pamphlet, for instance, is entered as a photograph, not as a document. AUTHOR1 Individual(s) or organisation(s) in the original language. AUTHOR2 Individual(s) or organisation(s) in English translation. TITLE1 Title in original language. TITLE2 Title in English translation. REFERENCE Title of publication (item no.) in which the document is published. REMARKS Technical details, cross-references to translations or other versions or 2 International Institute of Social History www.iisg.nl/collections/tiananmen/ copies. NOTES A memo field intended for future summaries, transcriptions, or translations. Database SOURCES COLLECTION Identical to COLLECTION field in databases ARCHIVE, IKON, and REPORT.

If difficult problems were to appear still further, it will become impossible to explain them to the people. It will become impossible to control them. I want you to understand this position which we are in. Deng Xiaoping, speaking at a meeting with high-level Japanese officials, including Ministers of Foreign Affairs, Finance, Agriculture, and Forestry, June 28, 19871 During times of crisis, Arab governments demonstrated their own conception of public opinion as a street that needed to be contained. Some even complained about the absence of demonstrators at times when they hoped to persuade the United States to ease its demands for public endorsements of its policies.

  • Confession, Redemption, and Death: Liu Xiaobo and the Protest Movement of 1989
    Confession, Redemption, and Death: Liu Xiaobo and the Protest Movement of 1989 Geremie Barmé1 There should be room for my extremism; I certainly don’t demand of others that they be like me... I’m pessimistic about mankind in general, but my pessimism does not allow for escape. Even though I might be faced with nothing but a series of tragedies, I will still struggle, still show my opposition. This is why I like Nietzsche and dislike Schopenhauer. Liu Xiaobo, November 19882 I FROM 1988 to early 1989, it was a common sentiment in Beijing that China was in crisis. Economic reform was faltering due to the lack of a coherent program of change or a unified approach to reforms among Chinese leaders and ambitious plans to free prices resulted in widespread panic over inflation; the question of political succession to Deng Xiaoping had taken alarming precedence once more as it became clear that Zhao Ziyang was under attack; nepotism was rife within the Party and corporate economy; egregious corruption and inflation added to dissatisfaction with educational policies and the feeling of hopelessness among intellectuals and university students who had profited little from the reforms; and the general state of cultural malaise and social ills combined to create a sense of impending doom. On top of this, the government seemed unwilling or incapable of attempting to find any new solutions to these problems. It enlisted once more the aid of propaganda, empty slogans, and rhetoric to stave off the mounting crisis. University students in Beijing appeared to be particularly heavy casualties of the general malaise.

  • Modern Hong Kong
    Modern Hong Kong Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Asian History Modern Hong Kong Steve Tsang Subject: China, Hong Kong, Macao, and/or Taiwan Online Publication Date: Feb 2017 DOI: 10.1093/acrefore/9780190277727.013.280 Abstract and Keywords Hong Kong entered its modern era when it became a British overseas territory in 1841. In its early years as a Crown Colony, it suffered from corruption and racial segregation but grew rapidly as a free port that supported trade with China. It took about two decades before Hong Kong established a genuinely independent judiciary and introduced the Cadet Scheme to select and train senior officials, which dramatically improved the quality of governance. Until the Pacific War (1941–1945), the colonial government focused its attention and resources on the small expatriate community and largely left the overwhelming majority of the population, the Chinese community, to manage themselves, through voluntary organizations such as the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals. The 1940s was a watershed decade in Hong Kong’s history. The fall of Hong Kong and other European colonies to the Japanese at the start of the Pacific War shattered the myth of the superiority of white men and the invincibility of the British Empire. When the war ended the British realized that they could not restore the status quo ante. They thus put an end to racial segregation, removed the glass ceiling that prevented a Chinese person from becoming a Cadet or Administrative Officer or rising to become the Senior Member of the Legislative or the Executive Council, and looked into the possibility of introducing municipal self-government.

The following is a re-telling of the making of that statue, originally published in the book Children of Dragon, by a sculptor named Cao Xinyuan: Nothing excites a sculptor as much as seeing a work of her own creation take shape. But although I was watching the creation of a sculpture that I had had no part in making, I nevertheless felt the same excitement. It was the "Goddess of Democracy" statue that stood for five days in Tiananmen Square.

  • Hong Kong's Endgame and the Rule of Law (Ii): the Battle Over "The People" and the Business Community in the Transition to Chinese Rule
    HONG KONG'S ENDGAME AND THE RULE OF LAW (II): THE BATTLE OVER "THE PEOPLE" AND THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY IN THE TRANSITION TO CHINESE RULE JACQUES DELISLE* & KEVIN P. LANE- 1. INTRODUCTION Transitional Hong Kong's endgame formally came to a close with the territory's reversion to Chinese rule on July 1, 1997. How- ever, a legal and institutional order and a "rule of law" for Chi- nese-ruled Hong Kong remain works in progress. They will surely bear the mark of the conflicts that dominated the final years pre- ceding Hong Kong's legal transition from British colony to Chinese Special Administrative Region ("S.A.R."). Those endgame conflicts reflected a struggle among adherents to rival conceptions of a rule of law and a set of laws and institutions that would be adequate and acceptable for Hong Kong. They unfolded in large part through battles over the attitudes and allegiance of "the Hong Kong people" and Hong Kong's business community. Hong Kong's Endgame and the Rule of Law (I): The Struggle over Institutions and Values in the Transition to Chinese Rule ("Endgame I") focused on the first aspect of this story. It examined the political struggle among members of two coherent, but not monolithic, camps, each bound together by a distinct vision of law and sover- t Special Series Reprint: Originally printed in 18 U.

  • Representations of Cities in Republican-Era Chinese Literature
    Representations of Cities in Republican-era Chinese Literature Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Hao Zhou, B.A. Graduate Program in East Asian Languages and Literatures The Ohio State University 2010 Thesis Committee: Kirk A. Denton, Advisor Heather Inwood Copyright by Hao Zhou 2010 Abstract The present study serves to explore the relationships between cities and literature by addressing the issues of space, time, and modernity in four works of fiction, Lao She’s Luotuo xiangzi (Camel Xiangzi, aka Rickshaw Boy), Mao Dun’s Ziye (Midnight), Ba Jin’s Han ye (Cold nights), and Zhang Ailing’s Qingcheng zhi lian (Love in a fallen city), and the four cities they depict, namely Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing, and Hong Kong, respectively. In this thesis I analyze the depictions of the cities in the four works, and situate them in their historical and geographical contexts to examine the characteristics of each city as represented in the novels. In studying urban space in the literary texts, I try to address issues of the “imaginablity” of cities to question how physical urban space intertwines with the characters’ perception and imagination about the cities and their own psychological activities. These works are about the characters, the plots, or war in the first half of the twentieth century; they are also about cities, the human experience in urban space, and their understanding or reaction about the urban space. The experience of cities in Republican era fiction is a novel one, one associated with a new modern historical consciousness.

    Video link: https://youtu.be/tmaJzU0Fyxw Zhou Fengsuo looks back at Humanitarian China's journey in 2019 in an interview (full transcript) Host: This is the Chen Pokong Fengyun Show and I am special correspondent Wu Yun. Today, we’ve invited Mr Zhou Fengsuo, former student leader during the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 and president of Humanitarian China. Welcome, Mr Zhou. We would like you to tell us about Humanitarian China’s work during 2019 and its future plans . Zhou Fengsuo: Thank you. It’s a privilege for me to have the opportunity to talk about our work during the past year and our future plans. During the past year, human rights in China continued to deteriorate, which brought us huge challenges. The need is great. The most important work Humanitarian China does is to assist prisoners of conscience in China; we provide humanitarian relief to over 100 people annually. This group now consists of a wide range of people, including groups we have been supporting such as human rights lawyers, former Democracy Party members and Tiananmen Square Massacre victims, and some new groups that have emerged this year, for instance, the Hong Kong protesters and those arrested over rights issues that had previously been regarded as relatively minor in China, for instance, labor rights, woman rights and equality. The CCP is becoming increasingly paranoid and treating everyone as an enemy, which results in many different groups being targeted. We do our best to provide humanitarian relief. Our most crucial task is to understand their situation and needs, and to promote international awareness of human rights violations.

  • Inscriptional Records of the Western Zhou
    INSCRIPTIONAL RECORDS OF THE WESTERN ZHOU Robert Eno Fall 2012 Note to Readers The translations in these pages cannot be considered scholarly. They were originally prepared in early 1988, under stringent time pressures, specifically for teaching use that term. Although I modified them sporadically between that time and 2012, my final year of teaching, their purpose as course materials, used in a week-long classroom exercise for undergraduate students in an early China history survey, did not warrant the type of robust academic apparatus that a scholarly edition would have required. Since no broad anthology of translations of bronze inscriptions was generally available, I have, since the late 1990s, made updated versions of this resource available online for use by teachers and students generally. As freely available materials, they may still be of use. However, as specialists have been aware all along, there are many imperfections in these translations, and I want to make sure that readers are aware that there is now a scholarly alternative, published last month: A Source Book of Ancient Chinese Bronze Inscriptions, edited by Constance Cook and Paul Goldin (Berkeley: Society for the Study of Early China, 2016). The “Source Book” includes translations of over one hundred inscriptions, prepared by ten contributors. I have chosen not to revise the materials here in light of this new resource, even in the case of a few items in the “Source Book” that were contributed by me, because a piecemeal revision seemed unhelpful, and I am now too distant from research on Western Zhou bronzes to undertake a more extensive one.
