  • Christian Women and the Making of a Modern Chinese Family: an Exploration of Nü Duo 女鐸, 1912–1951
    Christian Women and the Making of a Modern Chinese Family: an Exploration of Nü duo 女鐸, 1912–1951 Zhou Yun A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of The Australian National University February 2019 © Copyright by Zhou Yun 2019 All Rights Reserved Except where otherwise acknowledged, this thesis is my own original work. Acknowledgements I would like to express my deep gratitude to my supervisor Dr. Benjamin Penny for his valuable suggestions and constant patience throughout my five years at The Australian National University (ANU). His invitation to study for a Doctorate at Australian Centre on China in the World (CIW) not only made this project possible but also kindled my academic pursuit of the history of Christianity. Coming from a research background of contemporary Christian movements among diaspora Chinese, I realise that an appreciation of the present cannot be fully achieved without a thorough study of the past. I was very grateful to be given the opportunity to research the Republican era and in particular the development of Christianity among Chinese women. I wish to thank my two co-advisers—Dr. Wei Shuge and Dr. Zhu Yujie—for their time and guidance. Shuge’s advice has been especially helpful in the development of my thesis. Her honest critiques and insightful suggestions demonstrated how to conduct conscientious scholarship. I would also like to extend my thanks to friends and colleagues who helped me with my research in various ways. Special thanks to Dr. Caroline Stevenson for her great proof reading skills and Dr. Paul Farrelly for his time in checking the revised parts of my thesis.

  • Shanghai, China Overview Introduction
    Shanghai, China Overview Introduction The name Shanghai still conjures images of romance, mystery and adventure, but for decades it was an austere backwater. After the success of Mao Zedong's communist revolution in 1949, the authorities clamped down hard on Shanghai, castigating China's second city for its prewar status as a playground of gangsters and colonial adventurers. And so it was. In its heyday, the 1920s and '30s, cosmopolitan Shanghai was a dynamic melting pot for people, ideas and money from all over the planet. Business boomed, fortunes were made, and everything seemed possible. It was a time of breakneck industrial progress, swaggering confidence and smoky jazz venues. Thanks to economic reforms implemented in the 1980s by Deng Xiaoping, Shanghai's commercial potential has reemerged and is flourishing again. Stand today on the historic Bund and look across the Huangpu River. The soaring 1,614-ft/492-m Shanghai World Financial Center tower looms over the ambitious skyline of the Pudong financial district. Alongside it are other key landmarks: the glittering, 88- story Jinmao Building; the rocket-shaped Oriental Pearl TV Tower; and the Shanghai Stock Exchange. The 128-story Shanghai Tower is the tallest building in China (and, after the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the second-tallest in the world). Glass-and-steel skyscrapers reach for the clouds, Mercedes sedans cruise the neon-lit streets, luxury- brand boutiques stock all the stylish trappings available in New York, and the restaurant, bar and clubbing scene pulsates with an energy all its own. Perhaps more than any other city in Asia, Shanghai has the confidence and sheer determination to forge a glittering future as one of the world's most important commercial centers.

  • American Buddhists: Enlightenment and Encounter
    CHAPTER FO U R American Buddhists: Enlightenment and Encounter ★ he Buddha’s Birthday is celebrated for weeks on end in Los Angeles. TMore than three hundred Buddhist temples sit in this great city fac- ing the Pacific, and every weekend for most of the month of May the Buddha’s Birthday is observed somewhere, by some group—the Viet- namese at a community college in Orange County, the Japanese at their temples in central Los Angeles, the pan-Buddhist Sangha Council at a Korean temple in downtown L.A. My introduction to the Buddha’s Birthday observance was at Hsi Lai Temple in Hacienda Heights, just east of Los Angeles. It is said to be the largest Buddhist temple in the Western hemisphere, built by Chinese Buddhists hailing originally from Taiwan and advocating a progressive Humanistic Buddhism dedicated to the pos- itive transformation of the world. In an upscale Los Angeles suburb with its malls, doughnut shops, and gas stations, I was about to pull over and ask for directions when the road curved up a hill, and suddenly there it was— an opulent red and gold cluster of sloping tile rooftops like a radiant vision from another world, completely dominating the vista. The ornamental gateway read “International Buddhist Progress Society,” the name under which the temple is incorporated, and I gazed up in amazement. This was in 1991, and I had never seen anything like it in America. The entrance took me first into the Bodhisattva Hall of gilded images and rich lacquerwork, where five of the great bodhisattvas of the Mahayana Buddhist tradition receive the prayers of the faithful.

  • Ancient China Travel Journal Day 1
    Ancient China Travel Journal Day 1 Last night we landed in Shanghai. This 2000-year-old city is in the northeastern part of China. It is actually considered one of the youngest cities in the country! It is very hot here now, 105 degrees. In the winter, though, the weather is near freezing, and sometimes it even snows. Today I learned so much about China! We visited one of Shanghai’s most famous temples. It is called the Jade Buddha Temple. A temple is a religious building, like a church. The Jade Buddha Temple is used by people who practice Buddhism. Buddhism is the largest religion in China, but not the oldest. Taoism (dow-ism) is the oldest. The temple was built in 1918. However, the two jade Buddhas the temple was named after were brought here from Myanmar in 1882. Jade is the most popular stone in China. It is green and smooth, and when you hold it in your hand, it is cool. In street markets, you can find many things made out of jade, such as jewelry, statues, and chops. Chops are stamps that have a person’s signature1 on them. Today, I bought a beautiful necklace made out of jade. It had a tiger carved on it. I got it because I was born in 1998, the year of the tiger. The tiger is one of the 12 animals that go with the 12-year Chinese calendar. I had to laugh because my mom found out she was born in the year of the rat! At the market, I also bought a pink silk shirt.

  • Refining and Reappear Shanghai South Bund Revitalization
    Yu Jing Shanghai South Bund Revitalization 47 th ISOCARP Congress 2011 Refining and Reappearance: Shanghai South Bund Revitalization Foreword The functional transform of modern city and the rapid development of information communication make traditional industries of shipping docks and warehouses hollowed out. This makes waterfront area reconstruction imperative. It also brings fresh air to the exploration and development of urban social economy and its functional structure reform. Fuxing Dock of the South Bund, the subject of this article, has gone through its early prosperity, its later decline and the present reform. It serves as a good example to show the development process of all the many waterfront areas of the world. 1. Brief Background Introduction: Interactive Development of Shanghai City and Huangpu River As the biggest river in Shanghai, Huangpu River acted as a natural port and a lifeline of the city at the beginning. This 114-kilometer river originates in the southwest of Shanghai, runs through the whole city and joins Yangtze River at Wusong. Most of the waterfront areas on both banks of Huangpu River resulted from the industrialization of Shanghai from the late 19 th century and the early 20 th century. Docks, factories and warehouses cover most bank lines of the river. With the reconstruction of city industrial structure and city functional structure, these waterfront areas need immediate reforming. In the 1990s, the city of Shanghai crossed Huangpu River and started a new development stage, resulting in the exploitation of Pudong and later the rising of Lujiazui Finance and Trade Zone. The outward moving of ports and the adjustment of city industrial structure provide an opportunity to renovating and reforming the waterfront areas on both sides of Huangpu River.

ZHANG KAI ABSTRACT: The aim of this article is to describe the various actors who intervene in the renovation (and therefore relocation) projects that have been proliferating in Chinese cities for several years. The term “relocation” is a translation of the French term “délogement,” which was coined by the author to refer to the specific process that brings together urban renovation, destruction of housing, and dis - placement of occupants in China today. Based on a field study conducted in Shanghai between 2003 and 2008, this paper intends to re - veal the diversity of actors involved in such projects and the varied relationships they maintain with the official sphere, which directly influences the course of negotiations regarding compensation and rehousing. KEYWORDS: Shanghai, urbanisation, renovation, relocation.
