This vivid narrative history of Chinese intellectuals and public
life provides a guide to making sense of China today. Timothy Cheek
presents a map and a method for understanding the intellectual in
the long twentieth century, from China's defeat in the
Sino-Japanese war in 1895 to the 'Prosperous China' since the 2008
Beijing Olympics. Cheek surveys the changing terrain of
intellectual life over this transformative century in Chinese
history to enable readers to understand a particular figure, idea
or debate. The map provides coordinates to track different times,
different social worlds and key concepts. The historical method
focuses on context and communities during six periods to make sense
of ideas, institutions and individual thinkers across the century.
Together they provide a memorable account of the scenes and
protagonists, and arguments and ideas, of intellectuals and public
life in modern China.
