The Cultural Revolution is usually regarded as “catastrophe,” “disaster,” and “chaos” in contemporary Chinese history. Throughout the revolutionary period, the Chinese Communist Party fully implemented the policy of eliminating religion. All religious institutions were completely destroyed. Religions could only survive in non-institutional, underground forms. To break through the Bamboo Curtain, religious message were conveyed via shortwave radio from Hong Kong to Communist China. By investigating the valuable and rare historical materials of audience letters received from China, this article revisits the development of Chinese Christianity during the tumultuous years of the Cultural Revolution. The existing 252 audience letters written between 1966 and 1978 reveal much about grassroots Chinese spiritual inquirers and Christians. This study begins with the background of the Cold War and explores the ideology reflected in the religious broadcasts to Communist China. The official and popular responses to the “enemy station” will also be addressed. As well, based on these audience letters, this article also helps to construct a collective account of those unseen grassroots Chinese and rediscovers the “unheard voices” from the “Second Society” in the Cultural Revolution.

Since the seventeenth century, Western medicine emphasized the “imperfect” or “pathologized” female body; in this framework, childbirth became increasingly medicalized due to its high risks. The concept of “medicalized childbirth” was introduced to China via medical missionaries in the nineteenth century. This article compares how Western obstetrics was introduced to Canton and Hong Kong. Western medicine was introduced to China via Canton, while Hong Kong became a British colony after the Opium War. Despite the different political situations, Western medicine became an important tool of and rationale for Western imperialism. Obstetrics, however, was a rather unproductive category. In order to overcome both cultural and gender boundaries, Western physicians had to make compromises in the areas of “gender politics” and “medical space” in order for Western obstetrics to become a feasible option for Chinese families. The process allowed women to receive medical training in Europe and the United States, as well as opportunities for these women to work overseas. Chinese women were also given the chance to work in the medical sphere as female doctors and nurses.

In 1944, the Nationalist Government suffered serious reverses because of Operation Ichigo of the Imperial Japanese Army. In order to turn the tide, Chiang Kai-shek launched a comprehensive military reform program. Scholars have focused on the re-organization of the armed forces, but neglected the logistics apparatus of the National Revolutionary Army. This article examines the institutional changes of the National Revolutionary Army’s logistics and supply practices. This article argues that the upper echelon of the logistics organization was changed through three phases. In the first phase, the role of the Rear Area Logistics Bureau 後方勤務部 was strengthened and the responsibilities of the Ministry of War were reduced. In the second phase, when Chen Cheng assumed office as the Minister of War 軍政部長, the importance of the Ministry of War was re-emphasized, and Rear Area Logistics Bureau was demoted to become the Rear Area Logistics Command 後方勤務總司令部. Several logistics commands were merged and the practice of designated supply zones promoted. The last phase took effect within one year after the war, when the Combined Service Forces was set up and the logistics units were re-organized. Thus logistics were transformed from the Japanese style to the American style, while the reforms were beset by personnel struggles, institutional defects, and environmental restrictions.
