In this beautifully crafted study of one emblematic life, Harrison
addresses large themes in Chinese history while conveying with
great immediacy the textures and rhythms of everyday life in the
countryside in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries.
Liu Dapeng was a provincial degree-holder who never held government
office. Through the story of his family, the author illustrates the
decline of the countryside in relation to the cities as a result of
modernization and the transformation of Confucian ideology as a
result of these changes. Based on nearly 400 volumes of Liu's diary
and other writings, the book illustrates what it was like to study
in an academy and to be a schoolteacher, the pressures of changing
family relationships, the daily grind of work in industry and
agriculture, people's experience with government, and life under
the Japanese occupation.
