看《大偵探福爾摩斯》英文版，增強你的英文能力！THE GREAT DETECTIVE SHERLOCK HOLMES #21 Murder on the Express TrainA double gunshot murder had happened in the same first class train car that Holmes and Watson were riding in. The victims were an old couple in compartment no.2, and inside the same compartment was a young woman so terrified that her face was drained of colour. Initial investigation revealed that compartments no.3 and no.4 were empty, and compartment no.1 had four male passengers while an elderly mother and her two daughters were seated in compartment no.6. The strangest thing was that a wedge had obstructed the sliding door to compartment no.2, the crime scene, but it had left a one-inch gap opening. Coincidentally, the sliding door to compartment no.1 was also stuck closed. The door obstructions meant that the killer could not be someone seated inside compartment no.2 or compartment no.1. However, a number of clues seemed to indicate that the killer’s accomplice was hiding amongst that gro

In most non-democratic countries, today governing forty-four percent of the world population, the power of the regime rests upon a ruling party. Contrasting with conventional notions that authoritarian regime parties serve to contain elite conflict and manipulate electoral-legislative processes, this book presents the case of China and shows that rank and-file members of the Communist Party allow the state to penetrate local communities. Subnational comparative analysis demonstrates that in 'red areas' with high party saturation, the state is most effectively enforcing policy and collecting taxes. Because party membership patterns are extremely enduring, they must be explained by events prior to the Communist takeover in 1949. Frontlines during the anti-colonial Sino-Japanese War (1937–1945) continue to shape China's political map even today. Newly available evidence from the Great Leap Forward (1958–1961) and the Cultural Revolution (1966–1976) shows how a strong local party basis sus
