From her perspective, Chinese left-wing literature was featured by its revolution and popularity; Chinese left-wing writers were busy with creating different genres to get every Chinese＇s involvement in the anti-Japanese war in 1930s and participation in the construction of new China in 1940s. Hence, they were multifarious in their identity because they cared more than literature in a turbulent time. From what she presented, China, as a cultural otherness, was the existent utooia that fulfilled her radical nolitical dream of communism.展开更多

This unusual political phenomenon is deemed the continuation and return of the first “pink tide”—the shift to the left that emerged in the region at the beginning of the twenty-first century—and thus has been called a second “pink tide.” It is not only the result of the evolution of multiple interwoven economic and social crises in Latin American countries but also a manifestation of the resurgence of a left-wing ideological trend worldwide. The current pink tide governments in Latin America generally hold high the banner of reform;promote social justice;prioritize economic growth and political reform;emphasize the role of the state in socio-economic development;strive to improve government governance capacity;and endeavor to explore new paths that differ from the neo-liberal development model. Nonetheless, how long this new pink tide will last depends on whether the left-wing governments in power can overcome four major challenges.展开更多

As a Hong Kong leftist film, its plot and production process are relevant to understanding the political and cultural life of New China. However, Hong Kong leftist cinema played an important role in the reception of New China cinema overseas; it can only be understood within the context of political and cultural life in New China. This paper explores the complicated relations between Hong Kong leftist cinema, domestic socialist cinema, and Shanghai left-wing cinema in the 1930s. In addition, it discusses The True Story ofAh Q as a film with features that identify it with both Hong Kong leftist cinema and New China cinema. Thus, the film＇s acceptibility is determined by the tensions between these two identifications.展开更多
