Government authorities, cadets at the Whampoa Military Academy (the "West Point of China"), elites, urban professionals, intellectuals, activists, writers and students resisted, collaborated with, or questioned the heroic ideal of the soldier promoted by the Nationalist government. Author Yan Xu casts a wide net, examining military training records, political propaganda, field reports, newspapers, magazines, government documents, memoirs, and novels. In novels and articles, women and teachers worked against the heroic ideal without openly challenging the military, emphasizing the soldier's suffering, emotional needs, and poor education and thereby promoting their own importance as caretakers and educators. Students and young people urged enlistment and idealized the warrior-hero, but also managed to effectively criticize the government by organizing soldier relief work to combat government corruption. Xu demonstrates how the CCP's strategy of building bonds between soldiers and peasants and humanizing heroes was ultimately a more successful political strategy than the GMD's approach of elevating soldiers as model citizens"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 215-228) and index. 505 0 $a Politicizing the soldier image in modern Chinese history -- Training model soldiers at the Whampoa Military Academy -- Enlisting citizens in the military mobilization of the nationalist state -- Wartime soldier support by urban intellectuals and professionals -- Creating gendered images of the soldier figure in literary works -- The construction of the soldier ideal by educated youths -- The army-people bond in mass culture in wartime Yan'an. 610 10 $a China. $b Lu jun $x History $x History $y 20th century. 610 20 $a Zhongguo guo min dang. $b Lu jun jun guan xue xiao $x History. 610 20 $a Zhongguo guo min dang $x History. 610 20 $a Zhongguo gong chan dang $x History. 610 17 $a China. $b Lu jun. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00529948 610 27 $a Zhongguo gong chan dang. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00535548 610 27 $a Zhongguo guo min dang. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00518796 610 27 $a Zhongguo guo min dang. $b Lu jun jun guan xue xiao. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00556065 650 0 $a Soldiers $z China $x History $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Military education $x History $z China $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Public opinion $z China $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Civil-military relations $z China $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Nationalism $z China $x History $y 20th century. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2010103281 651 0 $a China $x Politics and government $y 1912-1949. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85024169 650 7 $a Civil-military relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00862889 650 7 $a Nationalism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01033832 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 650 7 $a Public opinion. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01082785 651 7 $a China. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01206073 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 830 0 $a Asia in the new millennium. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2009109551 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191217024850.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E9DE9BE4101A11EA8DA14E4D97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
