© Copyright 2017 Yizhong Gu © Copyright 2017 Yizhong Gu The Myth of Voluntary Death: The Representation of Sacrifice and Martyrdom in the Maoist Films (1949-1976) Yizhong Gu A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2017 Reading Committee: Yomi Braester, Chair Tani Barlow James Tweedie Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Comparative Literature, Cinema and Media 2 Abstract The Myth of Voluntary Death: The Representation of Sacrifice and Martyrdom in the Maoist Films (1949-1976) Yizhong Gu Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Yomi Braester Professor, Byron W. and Alice L. Lockwood Professor in the Humanities Department of Comparative Literature, Cinema and Media The dissertation investigates into the layered narratives of sacrifice and revolutionary martyrdom in Maoist films. Martyr’s death is abstracted and elevated from unpredictable personal event to be a collectively controllable and foreseeable public event. I refer to such ideological control over citizen’s death necropolitics. Maoist necropower interpellates revolutionary subjects, justifies the nation’s secular necropower transmitted from the transcendental ideals, surrogates martyrs bodies and minds to speak for them, and conceals martyr’s marginalized position as the sacrificial object and martyr’s dead body as disposable abject. I argue that the key mechanism of the Maoist necropolitics lies in the absent causes that originate from the transcendental revolutionary ideals. These socialist ideals can never be realized completely and are catachresis that lack sufficient referents. In other words, any socialist ideal essentially stands for a collective historical experience that cannot be fully presented but 3 must be presupposed to regulate personal lived experience. Respectively, these three absent causes are: the future ideal of perfection, the ideal socialist female type, and “the absolute spirit of selflessness.” Chapter 2 argues for the homogeneity of the onscreen Maoist male martyrdom, which follows a constant formula both in theme and in style. Although the orthodox representation of male sacrifice looks formulaic and stiff, I argue that the flawless sublime heroic figure is exactly the embodiment of the communist ideal of the future perfection. Its impossibility of being sufficiently represented opens up the room for audience’s unlimited imagination of the future totality. During the process of fantasy construction, the future ideal of perfection is implanted into the present reality. Chapter 3 argues that the onscreen female martyrdom is far more complicated than the simple generalization of the “erasure of femininity.” The Maoist ideology requires femininity to be emphasized when women are called to die for the nation, to show that the communist revolution is inclusive and universal regardless of any gender difference. However, sexuality needs to be concealed when the libidinal force is uncontrollable and runs the risk of threatening male authority and revolutionary purity. By a close reading of the film Dr.Bethune, Chapter 4 unveils the entangled implications of foreignness and selflessness in constructing and keeping the sameness of the revolutionary individual and collective identity. By the representation of an influential foreign martyr, the revolutionary narrative and the cinematic strategies cooperate to minimize the potential threats of disintegration of the local solidarity from the benevolent foreignness, while maximizing the validity of transnational communism. I argue that the ideal revolutionary individual identity, “the spirit of absolute selflessness” as Mao called for, is a void. But it is exactly such a void that keeps the homogeneity and sameness of the individual identity which defies any change occurred in time and becomes permanent. Chapter 5 4 investigates the rarity of the Maoist films where unconventional martyrdom is represented through genre twists. These film genres include comedy, suspense thriller, and children’s films. The genre twists potentially expose the original paradox and the inherent problems of martyrdom. Being subjects, objects and abjects at the same time, martyrs are at once celebrated and marginalized. 5 TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter 1. Introduction………………….………………………………………....9 Chapter 2.

I would firstly thank my committee chair Professor Yomi Braester, for his thought-provoking instruction, care and help for my study and life ever since I has been a graduate student in the University of Washington. The dissertation would not have been possible without his consistent encouragement, support and inspiration. I would like to thank my committee members, Professor Tani Barlow and Professor James Tweedie. Professor Barlow has always inspired and encouraged my academic research ever since I took graduate student course with her. I am honored to contribute to several of her academic projects, which significantly benefit my theoretical thinking and the dissertation writing. Professor Tweedie’s insights and broad knowledge of cinema inspire me greatly on the film theory part, especially to contextualize the Maoist cinema in a transnational perspective in the dissertation. Professor Francisco Benitez deeply influences me with his suggestions on nationalism and sacrifice during the early stage of the dissertation. Professor John Christopher Hamm offers me insight into modern Chinese literature with the premodern connection. Professor Madeleine Yue Dong gives me constructive comments on the Maoist martyrdom. I especially cherish the time when I watched and discussed the Maoist films together with my senior fellow Zhuoyi Wang, now professor at Hamilton College. Many sparks of thought came from the informal chat then. I thank the Department of Comparative Literature, Cinema and Media for offering me teaching assistant position for many years. Many of my thoughts on the Maoist cinema were fleshed out and fine-tuned during the teaching process. I thank the China Studies Program in 7 Jackson School offering me Chester-Fritz Fellowship Award and Freeman Foundation Teaching Fellowship. I am also grateful for the assistance from the Graduate Program Advisor Yuko Mera, who is always there to help me with various issues during the dissertation writing. Professor Ban Wang in Stanford University gave me valuable advice and helped the revision of my essay on the “three prominences,” which is published in his edited book Words and Their Stories: Essays on the Language of the Chinese Revolution. A portion of the Chapter 2 in the dissertation is rewritten from this essay and benefits from his insight on the Cultural Revolution model plays. Lastly, my deepest appreciation goes to my parents Guanxiang Gu and Hongping Zheng, and my wife Meiyan Liang. Without their understanding and support the dissertation would not have been materialized. I thank my little son Jerry, who is always the warmest sunshine in my heart and leads me out of the rainy seasons in Seattle. 8 Chapter 1 Introduction Produced and released almost sixty years ago during the Maoist period, The Story of Liubao Village (Liubao de gushi 柳堡的故事 1957, dir. Wang Ping) is still widely remembered in today’s China. Based on and adapted from a real story, the film weaves a beautiful love story in a warm spring in the Jiangnan area. In the film, the New Fourth Army solider Li Jin 李进 falls in love with the village girl Er Meizi 二妹子. After much hesitation, he follows the army to the battlefield, temporarily sacrificing his personal love for the sublime revolutionary ideal. The film presents the audiences with a happy ending: five years later Li returns to the village, and finds that Er Meizi has already become a communist leader in the village. Although the year of 1944 registered the rigid and endless battles in most part of China, the spring of Jiangnan, often associated with leisure and romance in the classical Chinese poems, is still filled with the windmills, willow leaves, light boats on the screen. The high-key lighting throughout the film sets the film apart from many other Maoist war films, where the gloomy life or death struggle is the dominant theme. The film is especially influential for the theme song On a Sunny Day in the Spring (Jiujiu yanyang tian 九九艳阳天), with its lyrics delicately written as: On a sunny day in the Spring, the eighteen-year-old brother tells you, little Ying Lian, I will go across mountains and oceans I will go for a long journey for two or three years, I will go through storms of shots. 9 We can only meet each other again after the victory of the revolution. 九九那个艳阳天来哟 十八岁的哥哥呀告诉小英莲 这一去呀翻山又过海呀 这一去三年两载呀不回还 这一去呀枪如林弹如雨呀 这一去革命胜利呀再相见1 No matter how beautiful

  • 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.

  • China's Youth in Transition
    Teaching About Asia Through Youth Culture CONFUCIAN AND COOL China’s Youth in Transition By Robert Moore and James Rizor Kicking Bird could be considered Qingdao University’s first hippie, at least if one were to judge him by his appearance. He had shoulder-length hair and made a point of pub- licly protesting the university’s rules on grooming.1 That was 1994, and even though young Chinese who looked like Kicking Bird could be found in Beijing and Shanghai at that time, they were all but non-existent in provincial cities like Qingdao. In fact, given the conservative grooming of most young Chinese at the time, Kicking Bird’s appearance was striking to say the least. His inspiration came from Hollywood. He had seen the Kevin Costner film Dances with Wolves and, hav- ing been mightily impressed with a Sioux Indian character in that film, had dropped his Chinese name in favor of the character’s and let his hair grow to shoulder length. The university officials were aghast at his be- havior and told him that until he conformed to a more conservative appearance, he wouldn’t be allowed back on campus. Kicking Bird was saved by what might be called the parent-child bond of an enduring Con- fucian mindset—his parents stood up for him and forced the university to back down. We can regard young Kicking Bird as emblematic of the inroads that American popular culture began to make in China once the barriers to outside influences were brought down by the post-Mao reforms initiated in 1978.

As she is an inexperienced teacher, the author also focuses on her own self-improvement in learning to teach through educational drama as well as examining drama’s potential to complement the moral education curriculum for primary aged children in China. The thesis begins with a literature review that explores the authority-oriented nature of the moral education curriculum in mainland China and points out that basic challenges still exist in the current course despite reforms that have been implemented since 1999 on a national scale. It then argues for the potential of story-based drama as an innovative pedagogy that may help students develop their autonomous moral thinking as a way to address some of the shortcomings that exist in the present moral curriculum.

  • Thesis Chinese Movies in 1990S
    Surname 1 Student’s Name Professor’s Name Course Date Chinese Movies in 1990s A case of “In the Heat of the Sun” and “Farewell My Concubine” In 1990s, different film masterpieces were created within China and other parts of the world. Increased innovation led to high-quality movies and the most famous and iconic work included “The Titanic.” At the same time, realist movies started dominating in the market, and phase was also marked by an increase of independent filmmakers. Under this atmosphere, movies, as a form of art, stepped into a new realm in terms of form and content (Silbergeld 2008). Many movies that were produced in 1990s had great effect as they deepened the thoughts of human beings, humanity, and social development. The paper will analyze Chinese movies that were produced in 1990s and use “In the Heat of the Sun” and “Farewell My Concubine” as my examples. In the 70s of last century, the Culture Revolution began in China and it resulted to low development of Chinese economy, culture, and industry, especially in the aspects of civilization and education. Different educators and artists were killed, and students began to undertake various activities in the countryside. China was civilized country with five thousand years history, but during this movement, it faced culture discontinuity which generated people’s fanatic ideas that drown everything. After damaging history relics, the deteriorating Chinese history and culture as well as the humiliated cultural workers were the main themes during the Culture Revolution that had been lasting for ten years (Silbergeld 2008). In the late 1970s, the Culture x-essays.com Surname 2 Revolution finally ended and the Chinese started to rectify the wrong thoughts and behaviors, and it was followed by Chinese reform and opening-up policy.

As he’s picking himself up, a young woman who saw the incident picks up a brick and hits him on the head... He awakens in the hospital with his head bandaged. The police tell him that he’s lost his job, and that his ex-boss expects him to pay for the wrecked bicycle. By chance he sees the young woman who hit him and angrily remonstrates with her.

  • 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.

It follows a chronological order, beginning with women in Republican China and ending with contemporary female immigrants in the age of globalization. The changing images of women on screen go hand in hand with major cinematic movements in history, including the leftist turn in the 1930s, the rise of animation in wartime Shanghai, socialist filmmaking during the Seventeen Years (1949-1966), the birth of model opera film during the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976), post-1989 underground/independent filmmaking, and the globalization of cinema in contemporary China. Approaches of film analyses and gender/sexuality theories will be introduced throughout the course. All reading materials, lectures, classroom discussions, and exams are in English.
