Drawing on a wide range of anthropological case studies, this book
focuses on ordinary ethics in contemporary China. The book examines
the kinds of moral and ethical issues that emerge (sometimes almost
unnoticed) in the flow of everyday life in Chinese communities.How
are schoolchildren judged to be good or bad by their teachers and
their peers - and how should a 'bad' student be dealt with? What
exactly do children owe their parents, and how should this debt be
repaid? Is it morally acceptable to be jealous if one's neighbours
suddenly become rich? Should the wrongs of the past be forgotten,
e.g. in the interests of communal harmony, or should they be dealt
with now?In the case of China, such questions have obviously been
shaped by the historical contexts against which they have been
posed, and by the weight of various Chinese traditions. But this
book approaches them on a human scale. More specifically, it
approaches them from an anthropological perspective, based on
participation in the flow of everyday life during ethnographic
fieldwork in Chinese communities.
