520 "The Soldier Image and State-Building in Modern China,
1924-1945 is the first study in English to explore the
ways in which the figure of the soldier was employed to
advance the ideological and cultural agendas of a variety
of citizen groups during the first half of the twentieth
century in China. Government authorities, cadets at the
Whampoa Military Academy (the "West Point of China"),
elites, urban professionals, intellectuals, activists,
writers and students resisted, collaborated with, or
questioned the heroic ideal of the soldier promoted by the
Nationalist government. Author Yan Xu casts a wide net,
examining military training records, political propaganda,
field reports, newspapers, magazines, government documents,
memoirs, and novels. In novels and articles, women and
teachers worked against the heroic ideal without openly
challenging the military, emphasizing the soldier's
suffering, emotional needs, and poor education and thereby
promoting their own importance as caretakers and
educators. Students and young people urged enlistment and
idealized the warrior-hero, but also managed to
effectively criticize the government by organizing soldier
relief work to combat government corruption. Xu
demonstrates how the CCP's strategy of building bonds
between soldiers and peasants and humanizing heroes was
ultimately a more successful political strategy than the
GMD's approach of elevating soldiers as model citizens"--
