Wang Shuo and the commercialisation of contemporary Chinese culture
Full text linkThis thesis examines the commercialisation of Chinese culture that has taken place over the past twenty years in mainland China. It explores the contribution of Wang Shuo, a cultural figure who straddles different fields of culture, moving from literature to the ultimate mass culture medium of television, this study plots Wang Shuo' s development from educational failure, to business failure, to fiction writer, film & TV editor, film director and cultural critic and analyst. His stories, films, TV series and articles have caused shock-waves throughout national cultural circles as he has transformed the terms of the debate from academic discourse to a validation of the role of the market in the culture field. Although Wang Shuo has not been labelled as a dissident, his approach to the culture market has had a more subversive effect on official ideology that those overt dissidents who have had to live in exile or have been imprisoned. He has utilised the language of official ideology to satirise the authorities, turning the ideology and its supporters into figures of fun. Yet his own goals have been strictly personal and economic ones. The authorities recognize the value of Wang Shuo's work in the cultural market but at the same time distrust his works and place him under strict censorship. Examining the way Wang Shuo and people surround him have succeeded in different fields of cultural achievement is a mirror to understanding the process of the transformation of contemporary Chinese culture from a socialist state-controlled culture to a market-oriented mass culture industry
Wang Meng and contemporary Chinese literature: the vicissitudes of a committed writer
Full text linkThis thesis examines the way Wang Meng has developed as a writer from the 1950s to the 1990s in the context of New China's political and literary background. It looks at the compromises he was forced to make between his political beliefs in the Communist Party and his chosen role as a professional writer. After his disastrous early foray into what was deemed to be unacceptable political criticism with The Young Newcomer in the Organisation Department in the 1950s, when the opportunity came to start publishing again in the late 1970s he was boldly innovative in style, helping to transform New Period literature, but conservative in content, sticking to politically acceptable topics. It was only with Hard Porridge in 1989 that he ventured again, and very successfully, into political comment. There is no outstanding leading writer in contemporary China, but Wang Meng is a leading contender for the title

China: Hubei (Shennongjia). Habitat. Specimens of Kunbir shennongjiaensis sp. nov. were collected on white flowers of the small tree Photinia beauverdiana Schneid. (Rosaceae) in a sparsely forested and bushy area in Shennongjia Forestry District (Figs 13 – 15). Phenology. Most of the specimens were collected in middle of May, which likely indicates adult activity at least from middle of April to June. Etymology. This specific name is derived from the type locality, Shennongjia. Remarks. This new species is similar to Kunbir simplex Gressitt & Rondon, 1970 (type locality: Laos), Kunbir nomurai Hayashi, 1974 (type locality: Taiwan, China), and Kunbir pilosipes Holzschuh, 2003 (type locality: Shaanxi, China) by the distinctive color of head and body. It can be readily separated from K. simplex by the mesofemora almost entirely yellow and the metafemora clavate black (meso- and metafemora black on apical 3/ 4 in K. simplex). Also, the new species differs from K. pilosipes by the elytra lacking black macula at apex. From K. nomurai it is differentiated by the mesofemora unicolor. In K. nomurai the mesofemora are yellow on basal half and black on apical half.Published as part of Wang, Xinyue, Wang, Ping & Wang, Wenkai, 2021, Anew speciesof KunbirLameere, 1890 (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Cerambycinae) from Hubei, China, pp. 181-186 in Zootaxa 4963 (1) on pages 181-185, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4963.1.10, http://zenodo.org/record/471112
