He was the father of Xi Jinping, current president of China and General Secretary of the Communist Party. His Contributions to the Chinese communist revolution and the development of the country, from the founding of revolutionary bases in northwestern China in the 1930s to the initiation of Reform and Opening Up in southern China in the 1980s, were numerous. Above all, he was a great patriot who even today still inspires Chinese people to fight for continued revitalization. This book has collected many touching short stories from Xi Zhongxun’s colleagues, friends, subordinates, and ordinary folks he encountered in his career. It is a history on a grand scale—about revolution, war, and social issues, but also about human nature, love, friendship, virtue, and responsibilities.

For various reasons, however, this historical tragedy remained relatively unknown to the general public in the West until the 1997 publication of Iris Chang’s popular book, The Rape of Nanking: The Forgotten Holocaust of World War II. Since then, the topic has drawn more attention. A History of the Nanjing Massacre is the first comprehensive narrative of the massacre written by a group of Chinese scholars from Nanjing. From the fall of the city, to the atrocities themselves, to the international community’s efforts to save refugees, and finally to the trials of the war criminals, the book offers a complete story of the massacre from the Chinese, Japanese, and Western perspectives. The book is based on a substantial amount of primary source materials collected by a group of Chinese and foreign scholars led by Professor Zhang Xianwen of Nanjing University from major archives and libraries around the world. This massive effort resulted in the publication of 72 volumes of historical data, the most comprehensive collection on the topic. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Zhang Xianwen, chief editor of Nanjing Massacre Historical Collection, is a professor of the School of History, Nanjing University and honorary President of China Modern History Society. Wang Weixing, a researcher at Institute of History of the Nanjing Massacre, Nanjing University. Zhang Lianhong, a researcher at Institute of History of the Nanjing Massacre, Nanjing University. 6 FEATURED BOOKS Catalog / Summer 2021 / Royal Collins Cloth 270pp 152 x 229 mm English HISTORY Tides from the West $53.95 A Chinese Autobiography ISBN: 978-1-4878-0413-8 Chiang Monlin 7 Catalog / Summer 2021 / Royal Collins FEATURED BOOKS This volume will try to tell the story of what has happened in China during the last hundred years, from the cession of Hongkong in 1842 to the blitzkrieg of Pearl Harbor in 1941, with emphasis on the latter half of that period.

Skirball Series $10 [members $8] To get tickets, visit: To Be Young, Queer and Chinese To Be Young, Queer and Chinese Program curated by Jenny Man Wu, with Popo Fan and Yang Yang Presented in collaboration with Love Queer Cinema Week (former Beijing Queer Film Festival, BJQFF) Love Queer Cinema Week was funded in 2001 by university students as the first LGBTQ film festival in mainland China – where it remains one of the few grassroots events involved in independent queer film screenings and cultural exchange, providing a platform for sexual and other minorities worldwide. It has hosted international guests and offered travel grants to young Chinese participants. It has created ties with queer film festivals/events in Brazil, Belgium, Italy and Denmark, and the Berlinale Teddy Awards. Often harassed by the authorities and forced to change locations, it has survived as a site of resistance for social, cultural and artistic fluidity. Three festival organizers will hold a panel discussion on the evolution of queer media in China. Also: screening of Popo Fan’s The Drum Tower (Gu Lou Xi, 2019) and Yang Yang’s Our Story - 10-year "Guerrilla Warfare" of Beijing Queer Film Festival (Wo men de gu shi, 2011) In person via Zoom from Beijing and Berlin: Director on Duty Jenny Man Wu (rotating position), Committee Members Yang Yang and Popo Fan “… what made the BJQFF screening among the most moving and memorable experiences we’ve had on the festival circuit was the realization that it was more than an entertainment, it was a statement.

Over the past century, the number of Chinese films has been over a million, including Chinese, Cantonese, Hakka, Hujian (Taiwanese), tidal language, dialect and a small number of English.

  • Representing Talented Women in Eighteenth-Century Chinese Painting: Thirteen Female Disciples Seeking Instruction at the Lake Pavilion
    REPRESENTING TALENTED WOMEN IN EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY CHINESE PAINTING: THIRTEEN FEMALE DISCIPLES SEEKING INSTRUCTION AT THE LAKE PAVILION By Copyright 2016 Janet C. Chen Submitted to the graduate degree program in Art History and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. ________________________________ Chairperson Marsha Haufler ________________________________ Amy McNair ________________________________ Sherry Fowler ________________________________ Jungsil Jenny Lee ________________________________ Keith McMahon Date Defended: May 13, 2016 The Dissertation Committee for Janet C. Chen certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: REPRESENTING TALENTED WOMEN IN EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY CHINESE PAINTING: THIRTEEN FEMALE DISCIPLES SEEKING INSTRUCTION AT THE LAKE PAVILION ________________________________ Chairperson Marsha Haufler Date approved: May 13, 2016 ii Abstract As the first comprehensive art-historical study of the Qing poet Yuan Mei (1716–97) and the female intellectuals in his circle, this dissertation examines the depictions of these women in an eighteenth-century handscroll, Thirteen Female Disciples Seeking Instructions at the Lake Pavilion, related paintings, and the accompanying inscriptions. Created when an increasing number of women turned to the scholarly arts, in particular painting and poetry, these paintings documented the more receptive attitude of literati toward talented women and their support in the social and artistic lives of female intellectuals. These pictures show the women cultivating themselves through literati activities and poetic meditation in nature or gardens, common tropes in portraits of male scholars. The predominantly male patrons, painters, and colophon authors all took part in the formation of the women’s public identities as poets and artists; the first two determined the visual representations, and the third, through writings, confirmed and elaborated on the designated identities.
