Within thirty-one years, about four million Chinese peasants immigrated into the region. The frontier society that took shape exhibited features different from China Proper. It lacked traditional Chinese social characteristics such as the clan system. The frontier exhibited a volatile social order. However, the new society was still Chinese and the coming of millions of immigrants impressed this character further on the region. Land ownership changed dramatically. Once the state began to sell off land, private ownership quickly developed. By the end of the 1920s, over ninety-five percent of the land was privately owned. Large-scale ownership was balanced off by a small-scale farming economy. Seventy-five percent ofland was occupied by small farmers. The region developed special ties with the international market, and the great demand after World ...

Ironically, soon after the catastrophe, Christianity entered into a golden age as the number of Chinese converts skyrocketed while the religion enjoyed an unprecedented growth. It was only temporarily halted by the Japanese invasion in 1937. This paper probes the complicated relationship among church, state and society during this historical era. It tries to figure out factors leading to the booming enterprise as it argues that a number of reasons had contributed to the new phenomenon, such as governmental preferential policies, liberal political and social milieu, missionaries’ new strategies, indigenous Christian efforts, and tenacious accommodations by Chinese believers.

Although it does not fit well into the editors’ typology, the chapter on the 5.19 movement at Peking University in 1957 is one of the best, clearly showing that the movement was a spontaneous outburst rather than being part of the broader Hundred Flowers movement, and that it supported a form of socialist democracy that remained within the ideological frame of Marxism. The chapter on the pre-Cultural Revolution rustication movement (1962–66) is well-documented, but it is questionable to what extent the movement can be compared to other student mobilizations. In the Cultural Revolution context, “movement” ( yundong) refers to a state-initiated “campaign,” rather than to a form of bottom-up mobilization. A similar discussion is also lacking in the following chapter on Red Guards. Finally, the chapter on the 1989 movement provides some interesting background on student life in the 1980s but concludes by questionably designating the students’ “self-pride i...
