  • Engaging with Socialism in China: the Political Thought and Activities of Chen Gongbo and Tan Pingshan, 1917-1928
    Engaging with Socialism in China: The Political Thought and Activities of Chen Gongbo and Tan Pingshan, 1917-1928 Xuduo Zhao PhD University of York History May 2019 1 Abstract This thesis investigates Chen Gongbo (1892-1946) and Tan Pingshan (1886-1956), two significant Cantonese Marxists who helped found the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in 1921. I use Chen and Tan as a lens to re-examine the dissemination of Marxism in May Fourth China and the underlying tensions in 1920s Chinese revolution. My study demonstrates that it was in the changing educational system in the early 20th century that Chen and Tan gradually improved their positions in the cultural field and participated in the intellectual ferment during the May Fourth period. At Peking University they became familiarised with Marxism. Their understanding of Marxism, however, was deeply influenced by European social democracy, as opposed to many other early communist leaders who believed in Bolshevism. This divergence finally led to the open conflict within the CCP between Guangzhou and Shanghai in the summer of 1922, which also embodied the different social identities among early Chinese Marxists. After the quarrel, Chen quit while Tan remained within the party. During the Nationalist Revolution, both Tan and Chen became senior leaders in the Kuomintang, but they had to face yet another identity crisis of whether to be a revolutionary or a politician. Meanwhile, they had to rethink the relationship between socialism and nationalism in their political propositions. This study of Chen and Tan’s political thought and activities in the late 1910s and 1920s offers a different picture of Chinese radicalism and revolution in the early Republican period.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 4 8 1 0 6 - 1346 ABSTRACT This thesis, based on ten months of field research and archival studies in Guangzhou (Canton), centres on an ethnographic portrait of a 120-year old teahouse, a state enterprise which combines the functions of teahouse and restaurant in a single establishment with the help of 180 staff. I approach the teahouse as a complex, shifting social space embedded in wider discourses and historical processes, and use the ethnographic portrait as a basis for exploration into several themes in the anthropology of urban China. The first chapter provides an historical background and deals with the rise, fall and revival of teahouse culture in the changing uses of urban space in the twentieth century.

The Thirteen Factories used to be the single port of Qing empire for hundred years, which is a symbolic and commemorative cultural landscape that records China's transformation from the ancient to modern society. Today, with a lot of master pieces, it has become a valuable historic area. The morphology of Thirteen Factories has gone through a significant transformation process from the suburb commercial port wharf into the inner city commercial touristic district in different periods of time, through several destructions and rebuilding. Through a diachronic study, the morphology of Thirteen Factories in different periods can be presented in several diagrams. Based on the comparison of the textures and background events of different stages, the author tries to find social, cultural and technological factors behind the morphological evolution. Different characteristics of the urban form and constituent elements in each period reflect the changes of transportation mode from water transportation to land transportation as well as the social condition from foreignization to localization and eventually to capitalization. The research of Thirteen Factories presents the influence of social forces on the morphology, which enlightens the policy making for urban regeneration and heritage preservation in Guangzhou's historical districts.
