In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, youth emerged
as a new and important social force in many parts of the world. In
China the image of this new youth imprinted itself on Chinese
consciousness and made clear to potential national leaders that
future governments would not be able to ignore China's youth or
expect them simply to step in line. For this and other reasons, the
Chinese Communist Party (CCP), the Chinese Nationalist Party (GMD)
and a string of War of Resistance-era collaborationist governments
all formed youth organizations in an effort to win youth over and
harness their vitality and enthusiasm to further their agendas.
Mobilizing Shanghai Youth explores the similarities and differences
among three youth organizations that were connected to Chinese
political parties or governments in Shanghai, spanning from the
beginning of the May Fourth Movement, just as youth began to emerge
as a powerful social and political force in China, to World War II,
when Nationalist, Communist and Japanese forces were still
competing for dominance. It takes a comparative approach in
exploring the similarities and differences, trials and tribulations
in how the Chinese Communist Party, Chinese Nationalist Party and a
series of collaborationist regimes sought to appeal to youth
through the Communist Youth League, the Three People's Principles
Youth Corps and the China Youth Corps. Focusing on Greater Shanghai
allows a detailed exploration of the rise and fall of the original
Communist Youth League and its connections to international
communism. The spotlight on Shanghai also yields the extraordinary
finding that the Three People's Principles Youth Corps was a
valuable asset to the Nationalist Party, operating as a potent
resistance organization in Japanese-controlled Shanghai whereas
branches in Nationalist-controlled territory were factionalized,
dysfunctional and a terrible liability for the Party. Most
surprisingly, the collaborationist China Youth Corps took the most
practical and in some ways the most successful approach to
mobilizing China's youth. The result of exhaustive archival
research, this book will be of huge interest to students and
scholars of Chinese history, modern history, Communism and the role
of youth in revolution.
