Christians and China.
Belfast: Christian Journals Limited1974. 1st ed. "This is a book of greater importance than its size might indicate.First against a well-sketched historical background it brings us up to date1974 with the present position of affairs in China. Secondly while fully appreciative of the undoubted benefits brought about by the Communist regime it is shrewdly critical of the means used and therefore of the achievements reached by Mao and his followers. Thirdly it enables us to watch how the Christian Church squeezed and then driven underground by the regime continues to exist generally in small groups meeting under conditions of secrecy." Foreword. Rev.Donald Coggan. 1974. Pp.127 slight toning to pages. P/b mark to title on front. VG. . Belfast: Christian Journals Limited,1974. unknown

He Liyi
Le mauvais fils de Monsieur Chine 1930-1985. Souvenirs d'un ennemi du peuple
Cosmopole Active. Media 2009 En 1953 lorsque He Liyi jeune chinois du Yunnan re�oit son dipl�me universitaire d'anglais cette langue imp�rialiste est honnie des autorit�s communistes. Il se retrouve donc assign� � un emploi sans rapport avec ses connaissances. En 1958 class� dans la cat�gorie des droitiers il est exp�di� dans une ferme de r��ducation par le travail. Relax� en 1962 Mr He n'a d'autre choix que de retourner dans son village natal pour y mener une vie de paysan. Les stratag�mes qu'il d�ploie pour survivre en volant les excr�ments des toilettes publiques par exemple ou en extrayant l'huile de milliers de noyaux de p�ches t�moignent du combat universel que m�ne le monde paysan pour endurer les ann�es de mis�re. En 1979 sa femme vend son plus gros cochon pour lui acheter une poste de radio � ondes courtes. Il passe alors ses moments de loisir � �couter la BBC et la Voix de l'Am�rique pour am�liorer son anglais. En guise d'exercice pratique il d�cide d'�crire l'histoire de sa vie en anglais. Aucun livre ne raconte de fa�on aussi poignante l'�pre labeur d'un individu ordinaire saisi dans la temp�te soulev�e par le gouvernement communiste - que He Liyi nomme ironiquement Monsieur Chine. C'est avec humour et une absence d�concertante d'amertume que He Liyi retrace une �pop�e faite de mis�re et de souffrances infinies. R�dig� par le journaliste Jean-Pierre Vialle le dossier r�capitule les �v�nements majeurs qu'a connus la Chine contemporaine depuis l'occupation japonaise : la victoire communiste de 1949 sur les nationalistes le d�sastre du grand bond en avant la r�volution culturelle les transformations introduites par Deng Xiaoping en 1978 et les d�buts de l'ouverture de la Chine au monde ext�rieur.

HE YUMING
Home And The World: Editing The " Glorious Ming " In Woodblock-printed Books Of The Sixteenth And Seventeenth Centuries
Harvard University Press Cambridge Massachusetts and London England: 2013. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. China's sixteenth and seventeenth centuries saw an unprecedented explosion in the production and circulation of woodblock-printed books. What can surviving traces of that era's print culture reveal about the makers and consumers of these books Home and the World addresses this question by carefully examining a wide range of late Ming books considering them not merely as texts but as material objects and economic commodities designed produced and marketed to stand out in the distinctive book marketplace of the time and promising high enjoyment and usefulness to readers. Although many of the mass-market commercial imprints studied here might have struck scholars from the eighteenth century on as too trivial lowbrow or slipshod to merit serious study they prove to be an invaluable resource providing insight into their readers' orientations toward the increasingly complex global stage of early modernity and toward traditional Chinese conceptions of textual political and moral authority. On a more intimate scale they tell us about readers' ideals of a fashionable and pleasurable private life. Through studying these works we come closer to recapturing the trend-conscious sophisticated and often subversive ways readers at this important moment in China's history imagined their world and their place within it. 5 halftones 64 line illustrations. Yuming He is Assistant Professor in the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures at the University of California Davis. "Home and the World brilliantly fills a large gap in the existing literature on Ming book culture. It builds on the insights of earlier works and proposes a finer analysis of what texts in both their materiality and their contents can reveal about reading tastes and practices in the late Ming. In its focus on a range of different texts and its close analysis of these texts and their illustrations and their imagined readership this exciting and beautifully researched work signals the growing sophistication of the study of Chinese book culture."�Cynthia Brokaw Brown University "Home and the World makes a tremendous contribution to current scholarly understandings of the rise of print culture and its rapid spread during the Ming period� It complements and brings to completion previous work in literature art history particularly book illustrations the history of the book theater history and studies of popular culture by asking new and startlingly objective questions� By choosing a number of ostensibly dissimilar texts and by relentlessly combing contemporary texts for references to them He reveals new sources of information new avenues of interpretation and truly new insights."�Robert E. Hegel Washington University in St. Louis Harvard University Press, Cambridge, Massachusetts and London England: 2013 hardcover

He Jiahong
Hanging Devils. Hong Jun Investigates
8vo, br. ed. Hanging Devils is a true-to-life story of cold-blooded murder and corruption from one of China's foremost legal experts. Hong Jun, a recently-returned lawyer from the US, opens a practice in Beijing intent on helping ordinary people defend their rights. His very first case leads him to the hinterland of China's snowy northeast where the brutal killing of a local beauty took place ten years earlier. In his quest for justice, Hong Jun revisits the buried secrets of the recent past, and delves deep into the underbelly of the provincial police and court system in a case that proves to be anything but ordinary.

Hecheng, Tan
The Killing Wind: A Chinese County's Descent into Madness during the Cultural Revolution
8vo, hardcover in dust jacket, 505pp. A spasm of extreme radicalism that rocked China to its foundations in the mid- to late 1960s, the Cultural Revolution has generated a vast literature. Much of it, however, is at a birds-eye level, and we have very few detailed accounts of how it worked on the ground. Long after the event, Tan Hecheng, now a retired Chinese writer and editor, was sent to Daoxian, Mao s home county, to report on the official investigation into the massacre that took place there during the Cultural Revolution. In The Killing Wind, Tan recounts how over the course of 66 days in 1967, over 9,000 Chinese class enemies were massacred in the Daoxian, in the Hunan Province. The killings were unprovoked and carried out with incredible, stomach-churning brutality, which is documented here in excruciating detail. But although this could easily be just a compendium of horrors, it s also a meditation on memory, moral culpability, and the failure of the Chinese government to come to terms with the crimes of the Maoist era. Tan interweaves the story of his research with the recollections of survivors and reflections on the long-term consequences of the Cultural Revolution. Akin to Jan Gross s Neighbors, about the Holocaust in a Polish town, The Killing Wind likewise paints a single episode in extraordinary detail in order to make a broader argument about the long term consequences flowing from one of the twentieth century s greatest human tragedies
