This book offers a cultural history of modern China by looking at
the tension between memory and history. Mainstream books on China
tend to focus on the hard aspects of economics, government,
politics, or international relations. This book takes a humanistic
look at modern changes and examines how Chinese intellectuals and
artists experienced trauma, social upheavals, and transformations.
Drawing on a wide array of sources in political and aesthetic
writings, literature, film, and public discourse, the author has
portrayed the unique ways the Chinese imagine and portray their own
historical destiny in the midst of trauma, catastrophe, and runaway
globalization. Cultural Memory in the Present
