The Pride of Public Spittoons? Anti-Spitting Movements in Hong Kong, New York, and Shanghai
[Abstract]

This article explores two questions: Why did a century-long anti-spitting movement fail to lead Chinese people to abandon the use of spittoons? And, why does the spittoon continue to generate bad feelings between Chinese and Westerners, causing them to view each other as fundamentally different? By way of establishing a triangular framework of circulation and comparison among anti-spitting campaigns in Hong Kong, New York, and Shanghai, this article shows how two very different policies were developed from the shared objective of controlling the spread of tuberculosis. While the anti-spitting campaigns in Chinese communities shared with the campaign in New York the objective of teaching citizens to refrain from spitting on the floor, they did not aim to break the habit of spitting itself. On the contrary, they endeavored to teach citizens the new habit of spitting into predetermined places such as public spittoons. Paradoxically, while Chinese spitting habits have been viewed as the visual evidence of China’s shameful deficiencies in hygiene and civilization, the practice of spitting into white enamel spittoons—and the country-wide implementation thereof—was one of the core endeavors of China’s hygienic modernity.

The Transition of North China’s Rural Leadership in the Twentieth Century: An Oral History Investigation
[Abstract]
Chen Yao-huang

This article reexamines the transition of North China’s rural leadership in the twentieth century using the Mantetsu surveys and other scholars’ village studies of North China. Scholars such as Prasenjit Duara also used Mantetsu surveys to explore rural North China before 1949, and Duara proposed the famous theory of state involution. This article will also review this theory. Moreover, this article further explores the transition of North China’s rural leadership after 1949. Was there any difference between North China’s rural leadership before and after 1949? And what happened to North China’s rural leadership in the 1950s, 1960s, and after the economic reform of China in 1980s? Finally, how did objective context and state policy influence the transition of North China’s rural leadership? This article targets these subjects.

A Puppet Organization in Occupied East China during the Early Period of the Anti-Japanese War: A Study of the Zhenjiang Branch of the Daminhui
[Abstract]
Liu Jie
PDF

At the end of 1937, East China was under invasion by the Japanese army. In order to deal with the resistance of the Chinese people, the Japanese authorities established a puppet organization named the Daminhui. The Zhenjiang branch of the Daminhui was founded in October 1938, and then dissolved in 1940. The Daminhui not only persuaded some local elites to join it, but it also attracted some members of the lower classes in Zhenjiang. However, the elites suffered from hesitation in choosing between collaboration and nationalism. The masses, on the other hand, accepted material relief from the puppet authorities to survive while resisting its colonial propaganda. The ambivalence of the collaborators toward the choice between morality and survival reveals different facets of the society of the occupied areas in the early period of Anti-Japanese War.
