Download or read book Bold Plum written by Hsiao Li Lindsay and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2007 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hsiao Li Lindsay is a master storyteller and a historian's dream. She offers a day-by-day account of flight from Beijing [in 1941] with Japanese troops in pursuit, years with the Communist guerrillas in North China, childbirth on the trail, and refuge in Yenan. Bold Plum shows us the communist movement in all its precarious local variation. Lindsay's keen eye and prodigious memory are a gift to us all. Gail Hershatter, Professor of History, University of California, Santa Cruz, USA./ This is a rare item. Bold Plum has all the virtues of a remarkably sharp authorial memory and a story line that ranges from tragically massacred peasant villages to living intimately with Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Zhu De, Lin Biao, and the whole gang. Jerome Silbergeld, Professor of Chinese Art and Film, Princeton University, USA./ I just couldn't put Bold Plum down. Her courage and the choices she had to make are amazing. Fatima Jibrell, Goldman Environmental Prize 2002./ Hsiao Li lives in Beijing, China.

Download or read book The Secret War for China written by Panagiotis Dimitrakis and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-09-22 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1927, Chiang Kai-shek - the head of China's military academy and leader of the Kuomintang (KMT) - began the `northern expeditions' to bring China's northern territories back under the control of the state. It was during this period that the KMT purged communist activities, fractured the army and sparked the Chinese Civil War - which would rage for over twenty years. The communists, led by General Mao Tse-Tsung, were for much of the period forced underground and concentrated in the Chinese countryside. As the author argues, this resulted in China's war featuring unusually high levels of espionage and sabotage, and increased the military importance of information gathering. Based on newly declassified material, Panagiotis Dimitrakis charts the double-crossings, secret meetings and bloody assassinations which would come to define China's future. Uniquely, The Secret War for China gives equal weighting to the role of foreign actors: the role of British intelligence in unmasking Communist International (Comintern) agents in China, for example, and the allies' attempts to turn nationalist China against the Japanese. The Secret War for China also documents the clandestine confrontation between Mao and Chiang and the secret negotiations between Chiang and the Axis Powers, whose forces he employed against the CCP once the Second World War was over. In his turn, Mao employed nationalist forces who had defected - during the last three years of the civil war about 105 out of 869 KMT generals defected to the CCP. This book is an urgent and necessary guide to the intricacies of the Chinese Civil War, a war which decisively shaped the modern Asian world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The collection begins by inviting readers to step into the orchards, fields, and gardens where the magic of growth and cultivation unfolds. The poets skillfully paint landscapes with words, capturing the colors, scents, and textures of fruits and vegetables in their natural habitats. Each poem becomes a journey through the seasons, from the blossoming of delicate buds to the ripe abundance of harvest, offering readers a front-row seat to the cyclical wonders of nature. As the anthology unfolds, it delves into the essence of individual fruits and vegetables, treating each one as a protagonist in its poetic tale. The verses become narratives, unveiling the stories of apples blushing in the orchard, tomatoes ripening under the summer sun, and the quiet transformation of seeds into bountiful produce. The poets breathe life into these everyday edibles, inviting readers to see them not just as ingredients but as characters with their own stories to tell. Beyond the sensory delights, the anthology explores the cultural and historical significance of fruits and vegetables. Poems become cultural artifacts, weaving tales of the role these foods play in traditions, rituals, and the collective memory of communities. From the symbolic meanings attached to specific fruits to the rituals surrounding the harvest, each poem becomes a vessel for cultural storytelling, enriching the reader's understanding of the intimate connections between food and human experience.
