Speed politics and socialist contradictions in Maoist documentary cinema
During the Great Leap Forward (1958–1960), Chinese cinema found itself trapped between heightened political pressures and a fervent pursuit of shortened production cycles, using exaggerated numerical information within its cinematographic language to represent extreme labor intensity and the dreamlike speed of historical development. Bridging sensory history and media discourse analysis, this study examines the “artistic documentary”(yishu xing j…
Rethinking the Popularity of Li Shuangshuang
This article examines the fate of Li Shuangshuang (1962), a film about rural collectivization in China and arguably the most impactful film made in the Mao era (1949–1976). It reveals that Li Shuangshuang’s spectacular success resulted from its capacity to appeal to average film viewers across China rather than the endorsement of the higher political authorities. In fact, China’s film administrators showed their disdain for the movie immediately …
Legal Feminism
This article analyses Wang Ruqi’s 王汝琪 (1912–1990) contribution to the drafting of the 1950 Marriage Law, the first codified law promulgated by the People’s Republic of China ( PRC ). It argues that Wang–who had been a legal specialist and a female political activist dating back to the 1930s and 1940s–was the actual author of the law’s first draft. In rehabilitating Wang’s long-forgotten contribution to the making of the Marriage Law, this study h…

Cinema, colonialism, and contact zone
Moving away from the text-centered paradigm in film studies, the present research explores the relationship between the growing popularity of the film in Shanghai during the first two decades of the twentieth century and city governance in the International Settlement. It argues that the rise of movie halls contributed to creating a new kind of crowd that blended Chinese moviegoers with non-Chinese viewers. The emergence of the cinema as a space …
From Wu Xun to Lu Xun
This article focuses on Zhao Dan’s (1915–1980) career in film after 1949 to investigate a specific type of stardom unique to Mao Zedong’s China (1949–1976). We argue that this new stardom was similar to what conventionally defines stardom, but with an added political dimension: Zhao Dan’s acquisition of high political standing in the People’s Republic of China (PRC). To arrive at a fuller understanding of the state–artist relationship in the PRC,…
Afforestation, Propaganda, and Agency
This article examines the afforestation movement in the West Lake area in Mao's China (1949-1976). I argue that this campaign was, by its nature, propagandistic, for it created a narrative of a deforested China before 1949 and a greener land after 1949 to serve the purpose of justifying China's new political system and popularizing socialist ideologies. Hence, such projects helped to define what socialism was in China and thereby solicited the pa…
Environmental overlap and individual encoding strategy modulate memory interference in spatial navigation
Wu Xun , Song Jingshi and Lin Zexu
This article takes the political campaign against The life of Wu Xun (Wu Xun zhuan, 1950), launched by Mao Zedong in 1951, as a point of departure to explore the intertwining relationship between cinema and the new historiography in post-1949 China. While the criticisms of The life of Wu Xun highlighted the central role of peasant warfare in imperial Chinese history and thereby resulted in the growing popularity of the class view in Chinese histo…

Feminism, Women's Agency, and Communication in Early Twentieth-Century China
Newspapers and the Journalistic Public in Republican China
Offering an entirely new approach to understanding China’s journalism history, this book covers the Chinese periodical press in the first half of the twentieth century. By focusing on five cases, either occurring in or in relation to the year 1917, this book emphasizes the protean nature of the newspaper and seeks to challenge a press historiography which suggests modern Chinese newspapers were produced and consumed with clear agendas of populari…
Spectacular Death
This article focuses on the extravagant funeral procession of Sheng Xuanhuai (1844–1916) in November 1917. This mile-long procession attracted over a million spectators and, thereby, lent the residents and sojourners in Shanghai of the day a unique visual sensibility of the modern urban milieu. Various parties to the funeral procession—namely the colonial authorities, the bereaved family, businessmen, and lower-class spectators—developed various …
Between Accommodation and Resistance
This paper examines the resistance ofpingtanstorytellers to Communist political domination and economic exploitation on the eve of the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976). In the early and mid-1960s, storytellers rarely mounted resistance through direct confrontations with the political authorities, but often in 'everyday forms' such as by libelling cadres, asking for sick-leave, refusing to conform to the dress code during performances, and threaten…
Between Business and Bureaucrats
This article examines the complex relationship of the state, market, and artists in pingtan storytelling in post-1949 China. By focusing on Su Yuyin, a pingtan storyteller, and his performing career, this article explores the persistence of cultural markets after the Communist victory in 1949 and argues that the market continued to play a significant role in shaping China’s popular culture, which the government was keen on patronizing and politic…

The daily'fs interest in covering national affairs was evident in one of its editorials: Although our newspaper is a regional one, [our] journalists'f outlooks transcend one area. Whatever we focus on is relevant to the current situation [in China]. The editorialist then proceeded to di…
