"This book is at the forefront of the next generation of
scholarship on early 20th century China. Lean makes a number of
important claims about sentiment and modernity, puts forward
broader claims that go beyond China Studies, and poses stark
questions about the place of 'rationality' in modernity that will
compel others to defer to her study for many years to come."--John
Fitzgerald, author of "Awakening China: Politics, Culture and Class
in the Nationalist Revolution"
"This ingeniously crafted book provides intriguing ways of linking
the past to the present, weaving debates that stretch as far back
as the Qin with questions of contemporary Chinese culture and
politics. Through exhaustive examinations of media, political, and
judicial records, the author vividly shows how the debate on
emotions that Shi's case engendered was a manifestation of a
'modern public' in China."--Ruth Rogaski, author of "Hygienic
Modernity: Meanings of Health and Disease in Treaty-Port China"
