Harvard's Newly Compiled History of Modern Chinese Literature (two Volumes)

Editor-in-chief Wang Dewei

645K0

"Harvard's New History of Modern Chinese Literature" takes more than 100 key moments as the entry point. The entire literary history starts from the new interpretation of "literature" by the late Ming literati Yang Tingjun (1562-1627) and his friend Ai Julius (1582-1649) in 1635, and ends with the 2066 Westward Journey comic "Mars Shines on America" ​​imagined by contemporary writer Han Song (1965-). In this "long modern" process, Chinese literature has experienced drastic changes and developed extremely rich contents and forms. This book hopes to show that the Chinese literary phenomenon is like a star-studded network, which on the one hand shines with special historical moments and literary geniuses, and on the other hand forms identifiable astrological coordinates, so that the correlation between literature and history can be highlighted. "What is literary history?" "What is literary history?" This is a history of modern Chinese literature "in the world". We hope to present one end of Chinese literary modernity to readers around the world, and at the same time reflect on the limitations and possibilities of current writing, reading, and teaching of literary history.

Xu Hong

293K02

"The Past of the Han Family" records the century-old ups and downs of the "Tiancheng" Han family, the leader of Tianjin's "Eight Great Families". At the same time, it centers on the five sisters of the Han family, and includes the Li Lianpu, Mei Yiqi, Fu Tong, Kuang Shoukun and Wei Lihuang families. In this way, it absorbs a heavier historical capacity and reflects a richer background of the times. The Han sisters were the first pioneers among Chinese women to receive modern education in the 20th century. Their emotions and families allow us to have a glimpse of China's history and destiny in this century. The Han family and its network can be said to be a typical group of Chinese intellectuals. Their life experiences inevitably intersected and collided with the great times. What kind of searches, counterattacks and choices they made still have reference significance to this day. Through letters, diaries, old photos and interviews, the author uses the mixed life experiences of his ancestors and their wandering spiritual world to connect the historical narrative of a century of changes. He strives to use individuals to show the grandeur and complexity of the times, and to find the unique existence value of each life, thus sketching a multi-layered and three-dimensional historical picture.

Leopard Tracks: Related to Memory

G

108K0

This book is Mr. Wu Hong's first recollection of 76 years of personal history. He breaks through the general memoir-style writing and presents to readers neither the real past itself nor the complete fiction of a novel, but a creative reconstruction and imagination of experience, a more free and open "memory writing". He uses fantasy techniques to present the throbbing and nightmare of encountering the flying apsara statue in the Kizil Grottoes mural after surviving a desperate situation; and using a calm and restrained style, he reveals the intricate, pious and peaceful connection between individuals, national treasures, cultural relics, and traditional culture through the theft and recovery of the "Cicada Crown Bodhisattva" statue in the Northern Dynasties. He writes about his memories of life in the ancient city of Beijing when he was a teenager, and also reveals his peeping in books and personal stories with his nanny that were either private or frustrating and embarrassing. Under the clear blue sky, on the shores of Lake Michigan, which is green and purple, he reunited with himself who had regained his study time after the turbulent era, and realized the pursuit of his teachers, friends, and old friends for academic transcendence of politics and personal integrity and independence. Current experiences collide with past memories. "At that moment, we felt that we were all survivors of a madhouse, but many people were not as lucky as we were."

Killing a City: Gentrification, Inequality, and the Battle of Neighborhoods

(us) Peter Moskowitz

135K0

Rents are rising, chain brands are settling in, there are fewer and fewer familiar faces, and local culture is gradually disappearing - this is gentrification: after the reconstruction of old communities, land prices and rents rise, attracting high-income people to move in, and the original low-income people have to move to areas with relatively poor conditions and lower living costs. As the process of gentrification continues to deepen, it is still an open question whether the future city can truly become a vibrant, fair and reasonable space. By reviewing and analyzing the major changes in four American metropolises (New Orleans, Detroit, San Francisco, and New York), this book points out that so-called gentrification is a process in which, supported by capital's pursuit of profits and policy tilt, it drives out the poor in the city, gathers more elite rich, and polarizes the rich and the poor. The massive inflow of capital has forced the native communities to compromise with their culture. Under the expulsion of groups, the city has transformed from a former residence full of memories into an exquisite and huge hollow. Who is in charge of the city? How can people fight for their due rights? Peter Moskowitz's lens is meticulous, taking us one by one to visit those struggling families who cannot afford housing, and understand how destructive housing policies are formulated under the alliance of politics and business, revealing the huge interlocking forces behind the promotion of gentrification in metropolitan areas.

In the short story "The Swimmer", the American writer John Cheever wrote about a man at a party who decided to swim through the backyard swimming pools of his neighbors and follow the 8-mile waterway home. Swimming enthusiast Roger Deakin was inspired by this and decided to swim along the waterways and oceans throughout Britain. Starting from the Huzhai River in his backyard, over the course of 18 months, he swam through rivers, streams, waterfalls, mud, deep pools and the sea, and of course there were bathhouses and swimming pools. Sometimes he wears a diving suit that looks like a banana peel, and sometimes he can liberate his nature and be close to the water skin-to-skin. In the water, he swam with frogs, otters, black waterfowl, and eels; on the surface, he looked at foxes from the height of hawthorn and ash treetops, watched damselflies and dragonflies fly before his eyes, eagles circled, and redstarts jumped among the branches; after emerging from the water, he lay down on the grass with small insects and Potentilla, sedum, sage, and thyme to dry himself. Roger Deakin went through these experiences in order to understand the mystery mentioned by D. H. Lawrence in "The Third Thing": "Water is H2O, two parts hydrogen, one part oxygen. However, there is a third thing, what it is that makes water water, no one knows."
