商品簡介
The five decades following the following the Sino-Japanese war of 1894-95 witnessed major, and conflicting, changes in the way the Chinese viewed their expansionist and modernizing neighbors, according to Yan (history, U. of New Hampshire). She explores the complexity of these views through the writings of four Chinese literary, political, and military leaders deeply engaged with Japan for most of their careers: military strategist Jiang Jieshi, essayist and social critic Zhou Zuoren, nationalist politician Dai Jitao, and communist poet Guo Moruo. She places their writings about Japan within the context of their life histories and their evolving ideas found in other writings. Annotation c2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
