Righteous Among the Nations : the story of Ho Feng-Shan
Get PDFRighteous Among the Nations : the story of Ho Feng-Shan is a four-movement music composition of approximately 25 minutes in duration. The piece is scored for Baritone solo voice and Pierrot Ensemble (Flute/Piccolo, Clarinet in B-flat/Bass Clarinet, Violin, Cello, Percussion, and Piano. Music and libretto is the creation/arrangement of the composer.
The following is the Program note written to accompany the score to "Righteous Among the Nations", functioning as an introduction to the composition:
"In the year 2000, Israel's Holocaust remembrance center Yad Vashem posthumously awarded Ho Feng-Shan the title "Righteous Among the Nations," the nation's highest civil honor, for saving the lives of more European Jews than any other single individual during the early years of the Holocaust. As China's Consul General to Vienna from 1938 1940, he issued exit visas to any Jewish person requesting them, allowing them to leave Austria legally and reach safety elsewhere in the world via Shanghai and other Chinese ports. Hundreds queued up outside his consulate doors from morning to night seeking aid; Dr. Ho issued over 4,000 such visas, by conservative estimates, despite orders from his superiors to desist. On one occasion, an armed SS officer held him at gunpoint while he interposed his own body to protect a Jewish family. Ho Feng-Shan never breathed a word of his heroic actions to his wife, children, or friends—they were discovered by his family and Yad Vashem years after his 1997 death.
Ho Feng-Shan, like most Holocaust rescuers, started off as a bystander, attempting to maintain a life of normalcy after Germany's sudden annexation of Austria (Anschluss). However, when confronted with the jagged reality of the unfolding Holocaust—the beginnings of the extermination of Jews on Kristallnacht—he could no longer collude with genocide by refusing to act, becoming complicit every time he averted his eyes from need. In post-war years, after being reassigned to Brooklyn in New York City, Dr. Ho became fascinated with racial prejudice, seared so forcefully into memory by his years in Nazi-occupied Austria. He identified prejudice as the most important social condition in American society, observing and experiencing it in hiring, rent, voting, and education practices as well as tracing its roots through American history—especially slavery and immigration history.
I have come to admire Ho Feng-Shan deeply—for his awareness and compassion, humanitarian courage, and unwavering conviction during perhaps the twentieth century's most horrific time and place. As Dr. Ho himself writes (in a poem quoted in Movement IV), "The convictions of heroes [are] not lightly formed". Though the above history may seem flattened into the distant past, Ho Feng-Shan's character and actions stand robust, real, and three-dimensional, coming alive now for you in music. May we never forget, but remember—and by remembering, learn."Musi

A Comparative Study of the Old and New Feng-Shan City in Qing Dynasty
No full text清代鳳山縣有兩個縣城，一個位在興隆庄(高雄市左營區)，一個位在下陂頭街(高雄市鳳山區)，依照建立的時間而有新舊之分。本論文從形勢、位置、軍事地位、城池規畫比較兩城的優劣，得出興隆舊城在位置偏僻、格局狹隘、城池規畫失當的情況下，不利於縣城發展，即使改建堅固的石城依然被棄置不用。陂頭新城雖然屢遭動亂，卻因地當中道，格局開闊，位於鳳山縣區域最中心的位置，東往下淡水區，北通臺灣府城，成為南路最繁榮的大城，並在打狗開港以後與活躍的海上貿易相連結，成為鳳山縣整體經濟的重要一環。There are two Feng-shan city in Qing Dynasty.One located in Hsing-Lung village(Tzuoying of Kaohsiung ) , another located in Xia-Pi-Tou street(Feng-shan of Kaohsiung ).According to the time of building,there are old and new Feng-shan city.This thesis compared two city from natural geography, location, military status, urban construction. Because in the remote location, narrow space and bad building,Hsing-Lung old city is not good enough to be a city.Although rebuild to stone city,but Hsing-Lung old city still be abandoned. Pi-Tou new city located in the center of road and of whole Feng-shan area.It is wild space.The road of Pi-Tou new city are east to Xia-Tam-Sui area and north to Taiwan Fu. Pi-Tou new city becomes the most prosperous city in South, and communicate with maritime trade after opening Takao port . It is an important part of economy line in Feng-shan area.第一章 緒論. . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .1

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
