Download or read book The Manchurian Tales written by Nick Hahn and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-01-25 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Manchurian Tales is a sprawling, multi-generational family saga that starts in mid 19th century and ends with the closing of the 20th century. It is a story of an uhl mao zeh (Russian Korean) family that begins when a 17 year old Korean boy swims across the Tuman River to the Russian side to seek adventure and start a new life. He meets and marries a beautiful daughter of a Manchu chief and the couple is baptized and become Russian as Luka Vasilievich and Maria Ivanovna. Thus begins the incredible journey of the family that was started by Luka and Maria. Luka becomes an important figure in the Asian community in the area known as Primorsky Krai, the region around Vladivostok. He launches a successful business empire which his two sons, Elisei and Vasili take over and move to Manchuria, making it even bigger. The family saga continues with the second generation through Russian Revolution and civil war, and the decline of the family business empire. The third generation's incredible adventures and tragedies are seen through the Second World War, the Korean War, and the aftermath. It ends with the fourth generation which disappears as uhl mao zeh, becoming absorbed into the culture and society where they are living. The Manchurian Tales is not written in a traditional novel form, rather it is a collection of independent stories, chronologically arranged to describe the family saga. Throughout, there are stories sprinkled within that are not about family members, tales that are about those who were only distantly or peripherally related to the family. However, all of them are important, for they describe Manchuria of that time period, and tell the story of the uhl mao zeh. This book is a fascinating account of the region, time period, and people that is very little known, even by those living in East Asia. It is no doubt one of the first if not the first time that the name uhl mao zeh appears in print.

Download or read book Heaven and Hell written by Takarabe Toriko and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2018-09-30 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Takarabe Toriko’s autobiographical novel Heaven and Hell is a beautiful, chilling account of her childhood in Manchukuo, the puppet state established by the Japanese in northeast China in 1932. As seen through the eyes of a precocious young girl named Masuko, the frontier town of Jiamusi and its inhabitants are by turns enchanting, bemusing, and horrifying. Takarabe skillfully captures Masuko’s voice with language that savors Manchukuo’s lush forests and vast terrain, but violence and murder are ever present, as much a part of the scenery as the grand Sungari River. Masuko recounts the “Heaven” of her early life in Jiamusi, a place so cold in winter her joints freeze as she walks to school. She accepts this world, with its gentle ways and terrible brutality, because it is the only home she has known. Masuko feels at ease wandering among the street vendors hawking their hot and sticky steamed cakes or watching the cook slaughter ducks for dinner, and takes pleasure in following the routines of her Chinese, Russian, and Japanese neighbors. Her world is shattered in 1945, when she and her family must flee their adopted home and struggle, along with other Japanese settlers, to return to Japan. This second half of the book, the “Hell” of refugee life, is heartbreaking and disturbing, yet described with ferocious honesty.

Download or read book From Fu Manchu to Kung Fu Panda written by Naomi Greene and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2014-03-31 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the twentieth century, American filmmakers have embraced cinematic representations of China. Beginning with D.W. Griffith’s silent classic Broken Blossoms (1919) and ending with the computer-animated Kung Fu Panda (2008), this book explores China’s changing role in the American imagination. Taking viewers into zones that frequently resist logical expression or more orthodox historical investigation, the films suggest the welter of intense and conflicting impulses that have surrounded China. They make clear that China has often served as the very embodiment of “otherness”—a kind of yardstick or cloudy mirror of America itself. It is a mirror that reflects not only how Americans see the racial “other” but also a larger landscape of racial, sexual, and political perceptions that touch on the ways in which the nation envisions itself and its role in the world. In the United States, the exceptional emotional charge that imbues images of China has tended to swing violently from positive to negative and back again: China has been loved and—as is generally the case today—feared. Using film to trace these dramatic fluctuations, author Naomi Greene relates them to the larger arc of historical and political change. Suggesting that filmic images both reflect and fuel broader social and cultural impulses, she argues that they reveal a constant tension or dialectic between the “self” and the “other.” Significantly, with the important exception of films made by Chinese or Chinese American directors, the Chinese other is almost invariably portrayed in terms of the American self. Placed in a broader context, this ethnocentrism is related both to an ever-present sense of American exceptionalism and to a Manichean world view that perceives other countries as friends or enemies. Greene analyzes a series of influential films, including classics like Shanghai Express (1932), The Bitter Tea of General Yen (1933), The Good Earth (1936), and Shanghai Gesture (1941); important cold war films such as The Manchurian Candidate (1962) and The Sand Pebbles (1966); and a range of contemporary films, including Chan is Missing (1982), The Wedding Banquet (1993), Kundun (1997), Mulan (1998), and Shanghai Noon (2000). Her consideration makes clear that while many stereotypes and racist images of the past have been largely banished from the screen, the political, cultural, and social impulses they embodied are still alive and well.
