On the Theoretical System Development of Contemporary Chinese Outlook on Human Rights

Centering on the systematic construction of human rights theories,Xi Jinping’s discourses on respecting and protecting human rights creatively put forward a series of original theoretical viewpoints and academic propositions,profoundly revealing the basic connotation of a contemporary Chinese outlook on human rights and realizing all-around and deep-level innovation in the construction of a contemporary human rights theoretical system.In ontology,the four-in-one view of human rights of the political party,the govern-ment,society,and the people goes beyond the dichotomy between the political state and civil society.In element theory,the substantive view of human rights surpasses the formalist view of human rights.In category theory,the view of human rights focusing on the right to sub-sistence and the right to development transcends the view of human rights based on the individual’s right to freedom.In operation theory,the“development-based human rights path”goes beyond the“hu-man rights-based development path.”In practice,the positive view of human rights based on the rule of law surpasses the negative view of human rights based on the rule of law.

Contemporary Chinese Calligraphy Between Tradition and Innovation

Since the mid-1980s Chinese calligraphy art has undergone a radical change and has opened itself to experimentation. A vivid debate on CCC （Contemporary Chinese Calligraphy） （Zhongguo xiandai shufa） is involving art critics in China nowadays. WANG Dongling and the modernists think that, despite many changes and influences, we can still refer to the traditional calligraphic lexicon to describe the calligraphic production of contemporary Chinese art. They still remain deeply rooted in the signified system of Chinese writing, even if they break with the strict rules of Chinese classical aesthetic （contamination of Western elements and focus on the stylistic exploration）. WANG Nanming and the Avant-garde think that ＂contemporary calligraphy is not calligraphy yet＂： It is ＂anti-calligraphy＂, annihilates Chinese tradition, rejects the use of legible characters, experiments with new languages and new media within the idiom of international contemporary art. The result is the creation of works of art that could be assimilated to Abstract art, Abstract expressionism, Conceptual art, Performance art, Contemporary dance, Multimedia art, and even Street art. This paper aims at showing how still valid and extremely productive are both these two theoretical and creative/practical approaches to Chinese calligraphy in China nowadays. They turned the art of calligraphy into a medium for global comprehension and communication.

SPECIAL ISSUE： GLOBALIZATION AND CONTEMPORARY CHINESE CULTURAL CONSTRUCTION：Contemporary Chinese cultural construction and advanced culture

Advanced Chinese culture today has three interconnected requirements： a） it is an organic component of today＇s advanced world culture; b） it critically absorbs all the best elements of foreign cultures in an organic combination with the best elements of traditional Chinese culture; and c） it transcends the argument over ＂modernism＂ and ＂post-modernism.＂ From a world- historical perspective, all other necessary features of advanced culture in contemporary China represent the logical unfolding of these three requirements.

Request Strategies in Contemporary Chinese Teledramas:A Corpus-Based Study

This study was designed to explore the issue of request strategies in Chinese settings by establishing corpora of video clips of contemporary Chinese teledramas. The present study chose short sequences of video clips from the Chinese teledramas and designed nine situations to establish corpora by taking the two social variables of power and distance as reference points. The study shows that the most used request strategies are the mood derivable, the query preparatory and the hedged performatives. Chinese people have a tendency towards more naturalness and straightforwardness in real life and employ request strategies based more on social distance than social power.

How the Steel Was Tempered： The Rebirth of Pawel Korchagin in Contemporary Chinese Media

Russian writer Nicholas Tempered （1934） provided generations Ostrovski＇s novel How the Steel Was of Chinese youth with a widely admired role model： a young devoted communist soldier, Pawel Korchagin, whose image occupied a prominent place in the orthodoxy revolutionary education and literary imagination during Mao＇s era. Over the past decade, Pawel Korchagin has regained his popularity in Chinese media, his name and image have been appropriated by numerous artists and filmmakers to help in portrayals of the new generation＇s self-fashioning. The various （unorthodox） interpretations recently attached to Pawel＇s heroic story reveal a huge gap between Maoist ideology and the post-Mao ideas. This paper looks into the intricate relationships between Pawel Korchagin＇s revolutionary past and his varied contemporary representations. By doing so, I hope to gain a better understanding of the cultural politics of appropriating Mao＇s legacy to create new meanings for a changing Chinese society One example on which this paper focuses is the sixth-generation director Lu Xuechang＇s film Becoming a Man （1997）, which rewrites the revolutionary Bildungsroman of Pawel in a startling different context.

Estrangement： A Possible Lens through which to Understand the Femininity of Contemporary Chinese Intellectual Women

The paper analyzes the femininity of Chinese intellectual women through reference to the historically estrangement. The paper explores what intellectual woman with an emphasis on and culturally significant concept of it manes to be a contemporary Chinese how popular cultural images of Chinese intellectual women articulated particular, historically-conditioned tensions. The paper focuses on the theoretical construction of ＂estrangement,＂ an important concept in the fields of psychoanalysis, socialist feminism and French feminism. My discussion of ＂estrangement＂ centers on the way in which the femininity of intellectual women is constructed, in particular, the degree to which they are depicted as adhering to or becoming estranged from the norms for feminine behavior. I focus on the female writer Huang Beijia＇s novellas, published between 1981 and 1994. The paper concludes that estrangement constitutes a haunting motif that is used to represent/understand Chinese intellectual women in the contemporary context and that the contemporary intellectual woman＇s predicament is, in turn, a telling motif for understanding historical changes in Chinese gender relations.

Gender Ideology in the Definitions of Contemporary Chinese Dictionary

From the perspective of social semiotics,gender terms are important signs for meaning making in society,in that they not only reflect social norms regarding different genders,but also play an important role in the formation of a range of other equally important semiotic notions.This article studies the gender ideology as reflected in the definitions of a number of headwords in the 7th edition of Contemporary Chinese Dictionary(CCD7).The analyses reveal that CCD7’s definitions serve to construct gender and marriage norms in accordance with the prevalent gender ideology of the society.Based on a binary view of gender,CCD7 constructs a normal-abnormal continuum,which defines heterosexual relationships and heterosexual marriages as the social norms.This study regards the act of defining as a social semiotic process under the influence of the prevailing ideology,and reaffirms the status of gender terms as a significant shaping force in social semiotics.

Reimagining the Soviet Union in Contemporary Chinese Literature： Soviet Ji in Wang Meng＇s In Remembrance of the Soviet Union and Feng Jicai＇s Listening to Russia

An examination of Soviet nostalgia--nostalgia for the times when the People＇s Republic of China （PRC） had a close relationship with the Soviet Union, as it appears in contemporary discourses that reimagine the Soviet Union, is essential to understand the quotidian aspect and cultural history of the PRC in the 1950s, as well as cultural attitudes in contemporary China. Wang Meng＇s In Remembrance of the Soviet Union （2007） and Feng Jicai＇s Listening to Russia （2005） are characterized by nostalgia for the lost Soviet Union, which exerted a strong influence on the PRC during the 1950s. In contemporary China, where the market economy is the dominant mode of production, Wang and Feng＇s Soviet nostalgia is a gesture of yearning for a type of historical temporality that has seemingly been lost. Their works express the desire to reclaim the historical past of the 1950s, which they portray as having been completely erased by the developmental logic of late-capitalism--the authentic cultural experiences in the 1950s, especially the everyday life along with the revolutionary ideals are rendered unreal within the post-revolutionary logic. The concept of Soviet ＂ji＂ （祭 ＂remembrance＂） provides a theoretical framework through which to understand the way in which the phenomenon of Chinese nostalgia has the potential to shift contemporary social reality.

Contemporary Patterns of Management of Tetralogy of Fallot:Data from a Single Center in China

Background:There is scarce research on large cohorts with tetralogy of Fallot(TOF)from China.The database in Fuwai Hospital was reviewed to ascertain current trends in the management of TOF and to determine the prevalence of various surgical techniques and the optimal early outcome.Methods:This cross-sectional study included 1861 patients who underwent surgery between 2012 and 2017 and were aged 0-18 years old with a primary diagnosis of TOF.A total of 1760 eligible patients were included in the analyses.Results:A total of 1683 patients underwent repair of TOF as a one-stage operation(primary repair).Sixty-one patients underwent repair of TOF after prior palliation.Of patients who underwent one-stage repair(n=1683):858 were 6 months to 1 year old,421 were 1 to 2 years old,251 were 2-18 years old,and 145 were 3 to 6 months old.Of patients who underwent repair following prior palliation(n=61),58(95.1%)were older than 1 year of age.Of 1744 complete repairs,986(56.0%)had annulus-sparing(AS)repair.Total in-hospital mortality was 15 of 1744(0.9%)for complete repair(including one-stage and staged repairs).The total incidence of the optimal early outcome was 78.2%in terms of a composite of the absence of death in the first year,significant right ventricular outflow tract obstruction,significant pulmonary valve insufficiency,or catheter or surgical reintervention.Conclusions:Surgical correction in patients with TOF can achieve an acceptable outcome in terms of death and reintervention.Primary repair at 6 months to 1 year of age is the most prevalent strategy in our centre.However,the relatively high incidence of early undesirable surgical adequacy of the pulmonary valve(PV)represents a wake-up call.

A Brief View of Practice Ontology Aesthetics in the Context of Contemporary China
