Molecular Composition of Soil Organic Matter Fractions Under Long‐Term Post‐Agricultural Restoration Across a Large Climate Gradient
Long‐term post‐agricultural natural restoration generally rebuilds the pool of soil organic matter (SOM); however, it is not clear about the shifts in molecular composition within SOM physical fractions across a large climate gradient. We investigated this question in three zonal soils: Ferralic Cambisol (subtropic), Calcaric Cambisol (warm temperate), and Luvic Phaeozem (mid‐temperate) under 27‐year post‐agricultural restoration. Pyrolysis‐gas c…

Climate Change Messaging and Mental Health
Climate change is an existential threat, and it is often difficult to translate the urgency and immediacy of climate catastrophes into common parlance. One way to effectively engage the public in climate change conversations is through effective communication practices, such as persuasive communication. Persuasive communication uses tailored messages to elicit desirable behavioural outcomes in the audience and has great potential to promote posit…
The Disaster Empire in The Wandering Earth 2
This paper analyzes how the 2023 Chinese science fiction blockbuster The Wandering Earth 2 constructs what I call a “disaster empire”—a biopolitical system that seamlessly integrates authoritarian governance with capitalist logic through the constant threat of catastrophe. Through close readings of the film’s reappropriation of the Chinese Moving Mountain fable, its treatment of human sacrifice, and its portrayal of digital afterlife, I argue tha…
Association of leisure-time physical activity and sleep quality among healthcare workers in China: A cross-sectional study
Leisure-time physical activity may be a protective factor for sleep quality among healthcare workers in China. Actionable policies and interventions, such as paid time off and subsidized gym membership, should be invested to increase physical activity among Chinese healthcare workers and, ultimately, improve their sleep quality and overall health

This study aims to evaluate the application value of an improved CT index combined with serum biomarkers, obtained through an artificial intelligence recognition system analyzing CT features of pulmonary nodules, in early prediction of lung cancer infiltration using machine learning models. Patients and m…
Metabolic Cinema: From Hollywood to Socialist China
Drawing on Karl Marx’s ecological concepts of the “metabolic rift” and the “emancipation of senses”, this paper explores an alternative ecocinema that integrates the ecological with the social and the economic. Early Hollywood films, such as Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans (1927) and The Good Earth (1937), represent the metabolic rift in human relationships as a byproduct of the metabolic rift with nature created in the process of urbanization; hen…
Global burden and prediction study of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma from 1990 to 2030: A systematic analysis and comparison with China
Background: China has the highest number of new cancer cases and deaths globally. Due to particularly low scores in health care quality for cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC), the country's cSCC burden requires greater awareness. Consequently, we aimed to evaluate and predict the trend of the cSCC burden globally and in China from 1990 to 2030. Methods: We retrieved data from the Global Burden of Disease 2019 study, which provided estimates…

Women’s affective labor in the Red Army’s war propaganda in the early 1930s
This paper demonstrates that women's affective labor was widely and deeply appropriated in the Red Army's war propaganda in the early 1930s. This appropriation allowed women to emerge as free humans, visible social producers, empowered political subjects, significant war participants, and active shapers of history on an unprecedented scale in Chinese history. The selected cases examined in this paper are drawn from the songs, plays, and posters e…
Becoming Laborers
This article shows that the construction of the notion of dignified laborer during the Chinese New Culture Movement (1915-24) was not simply a reversal of preexisting social hierarchy that placed the mental laborers above the manual laborers but rather a complex and profound process of identity formation that created dynamic equalization between the national and the global, mental laborers and manual laborers, as well as men and women. Through re…

Parental pre-pregnancy body mass index and risk of low birth weight in offspring: A prospective cohort study in central China
Background: Low birth weight (LBW) is one of the most common adverse pregnancy outcomes. Previous studies have consistently shown that maternal body mass index (BMI) status before and during pregnancy is associated with LBW. However, previous studies lacked an association between paternal BMI and the conjunction effect of a couple's BMI and LBW in the offspring. Therefore, we established a cohort of pre-pregnancy couples to prospectively assess t…
The Chinese Exclusion Act and The Late Qing Chinese Cosmopolitanism
This article examines a specific set of literary texts, both in English and Chinese, produced by a few Chinatown leaders and some Chinese writers as they protested against the anti-Chinese sentiments and the Chinese Exclusion Act in the second half of the nineteenth century and the first decade of the twentieth century. Those Chinese-authored texts resisted the homogenizing view of the Chinese people by the Westerners, advocating a cosmopolitan c…
Xu Bing's Artistic Design of Language
Wang Xiaosong's essay unpacks the design philosophy of contemporary Chinese artist Xu Bing's major works. What is notable in Xu's artwork is his persistent effort in creating a “pseudo” but universal language based on the commonality of visual communication
Early Portuguese Visitors to Kilwa
Base editors, including dual base editors, are innovative techniques for efficient base conversions in genomic DNA. However, the low efficiency of A-to-G base conversion at positions proximal to the protospacer adjacent motif (PAM) and the A/C simultaneous conversion of the dual base editor hinder their broad applications. In this study, through fusion of ABE8e with Rad51 DNA-binding domain, we generate a hyperactive ABE (hyABE) which offers impr…

Destruction, Moral Nihilism and the Poetics of Debris in Jia Zhangke'sStill Life
Jia Zhangke's 2006 digital feature Still Life exhibits two impulses in its creation process: one is moral admonition, the other is aesthetic meditation. Jia's moral preoccupation is mainly mediated through the sound effects while his aesthetic obsession is prominently conveyed through visual spectacles. The aestheticization of the bare materials, as pre-linguistic existence, creates a “poetics of debris” which constantly disrupts and subverts the…

A Q&A with Wang Anyi
WORLDLIT.ORG 43 One day, I accidentally wandered into an old longtang . Squeezed into a narrow crack between glass-walled skyscrapers, it was nothing but a vestigial segment. I looked around in a daze—I had no idea where I was, and I had to ask directions from an elderly man who just happened to be walking by. He’d been lost in thought, and when I called out to him, he jumped: “You scared the wits out of me!” He spoke with the same local accent I…
Associations between maternal weekly air pollutant exposures and low birth weight: A distributed lag non-linear model
When discussing the association between birth weight and air pollution, previous studies mainly focus on the maternal trimester-specific exposures during pregnancy, whereas the possible associations between birth weight and weekly-specific exposures have been largely neglected. We conducted a nested 1:4 matched case-control study in Jinan, China to examine the weekly-specific associations during pregnancy between maternal fine particulate matter …
Maoist Laughter
Maoist Laughter
This volume aims to restore laughter to its proper position in the Mao-era culture. The Mao era was actually a period when laughter was bonded with political culture to an unprecedented degree. Spurred by dynamic political exigencies, many cultural products sought to utilize laughter as a more pliable form of political expression. Laughter was used to highlight antagonisms or downplay differences, to expose and ridicule the class enemy, or to mel…

From Patricide to Patrilineality: Adapting The Wandering Earth for the Big Screen
This paper discusses how Liu Cixin’s 2000 novella “The Wandering Earth” was adapted into a family melodrama that ultimately reinforces the authority of the Father and the nation-state. It analyzes the complex mechanisms, such as mise en abyme and scapegoating, that serve to condone the patriarch’s power, as well as the intertextuality tying the film to the socialist culture. This paper analyses the social context that foregrounds the conversion f…

AIM: The aim of this study was to determine whether early or late maternal separation affec…
Effects of a Fundamental Motor Skill-Based Afterschool Program on Children’s Physical and Cognitive Health Outcomes
Globally, more than half of school-aged children do not engage in the recommended 60 minutes of daily moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA). Given that developing sufficient fundamental motor skills (FMS) competence during early elementary school years is important for a child’s physical and cognitive development, the purpose of this study was to examine the effects of an 8-week FMS-based afterschool program on physical and cognitive heal…
Assessing Chromium Contamination in Red Soil: Monitoring the Migration of Fractions and the Change of Related Microorganisms
The improper stacking of chromium (Cr) slag poses a great threat to the environment and human health. The toxicity of Cr in soil is not only related to its total amount, but also to its fractions. A simulated experiment was conducted in laboratory to assess the environmental risk of Cr fractions migration and distribution in red soil. The results showed the content of acid-soluble and reducible Cr significantly decreased ( P Lysobacter , Flavihum…

My Impression of Picun
Fu Qiuyun, also known as Xiaofu, is a young migrant worker from Henan, China, and also the organizer of the literature group in Picun (aka the Pi Village). Picun is an “urban village” or “village in the city,” and the migrant workers are third-class citizens living in the periphery of China's capital. In this short sketch of Picun, Fu has voiced the migrant workers' feelings of injustice, powerlessness, and entrapment in Beijing
Introduction: Why Does Workers' Literature Matter
A group of Chinese migrant workers, who call themselves New Workers, have been uttering their voices through the medium of literature. The emergence of New Workers' Literature in contemporary China is significant, because it challenges the middle-class definition of literature and structure of feeling in today's capitalist empire
New Workers' Literature
The Picun Literature Group has independently printed eight volumes of Picun literature since 2015 and released eleven volumes of the bimonthly literary magazine New Workers' Literature (Xin gongren wenxue) in electronic form since 2019. In his preface to the inaugural issue of New Workers' Literature, Peking University professor Zhang Huiyu, who is also the leading mentor of the Picun Literature Group, explains the meaning and significance of “Ne…
