In 2021, the Chinese Communist Party celebrated a century of
existence. Since the Party's humble beginnings in the Marxist
groups of the Republican era to its current global ambitions, one
thing has not changed for China's leaders: their claim to represent
the vanguard of the Chinese working class. Spanning from the night
classes for workers organised by student activists in Beijing in
the 1910s to the labour struggles during the 1920s and 1930s; from
the turmoil of the Cultural Revolution to the social convulsions of
the reform era to China's global push today, this book reconstructs
the contentious history of labour in China from the early twentieth
century to this day (and beyond). This will be achieved through a
series of essays penned by scholars in the field of Chinese
society, politics, and culture, each one of which will revolve
around a specific historical event, in a mosaic of different
voices, perspectives, and interpretations of what constituted the
experience of being a worker in China in the past century.
