From the perspective of village activists across China, this book
tells the stories of farmers and rural laborers who raised the
banner of opposition to constitutional reform during the first
decade of the twentieth century. The author brings to life the
stories of the Camel King of Zunhua county, Qu Shiwen and the Four
Mountains of Laiyang county, and many others who criticized
government modernization efforts, known collectively as the New
Policy. Using county archives -including oral histories -as well as
memoirs, periodical literature, missionary records, and official
documents both Chinese and foreign, Of Camel Kings and Other Things
constructs, from fragmented sources, a coherent historical view
vital to our understanding of China's twentieth-century crises and
the dilemmas of modernity itself."
