The personal stories of the Gao villagers demonstrate and are related to changes in China. This is a close study of Gao Village twenty years after the author, an anthropologist and native of Gao village, wrote his original ethnography Gao Village. It combines ethnographic analysis, personal vignettes, and a number of fascinating stories, which presents a convincing yet complex picture of how Gao villagers interact with the outside world. With his sympathetic and insider's approach, the author argues that rural Chinese display great entrepreneurship and inner strength of selfimprovement; they are active contributors to China's economic boom.

这个男孩想抓只雏鸟,但他在砖塔上看到了什么?他想帮助一个遇到困难的女子,于是发生了什么?人们是那样淳朴和热情,但有时也会好心办糊涂事。随着那人趁着黄昏去郊游,你会感到夜晚的一片生机。生活就像万花筒般丰富多彩,人们也有了更多休闲娱乐时光。这些都在书中得以生动的描叙。 The boy wanted to catch a fledgling, but what did he see on the top of the brick tower? He wanted to give a hand to a woman in trouble. What happened then? The people are so simple and enthusiastic, but sometimes mistake is not avoidable. Go with a man for sightseeing at dusk, and you would feel everything is full of vigour. Life is kaleidoscopic, and the people have more leisure time to entertain themselves. All these are vividly described in the book.
The Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution occurred in the second decade after Mao Zedong and his comrades came to power in 1949. A comprehensive narrative account of this colossal event, written by Yan Jiaqi, one of the principal leaders of China's pro-democracy movement, and his wife, Gao Gao, a noted sociologist, appeared in Hong Kong in 1986 and was quickly banned by the Communist government. Not surprisingly, censorship and restricted circulation in China resulted in underground reproduction and serialization. The work was thus widely read, coveted, and appreciated by a populace who had just freed itself from the cultural drought and political dread of the event. Yan and Gao later spent two years revising and expanding their work. The present volume, Turbulent Decade: A History of the Cultural Revolution, is based on the revised edition and has been masterfully edited and translated by D. W. Y. Kwok in consultation with the authors. Following Professor Kwok's eloquent introduction and a short foreword in which the authors analyze the basic causes of the Cultural Revolution, Part One of the narrative focuses on the years 1965-1967. In two short years, Mao managed to turn public opinion against Liu Shaoqi, president of the Republic, and launch the Cultural Revolution. The reader is introduced to the Red Guards and encounters the cult of personality, the first resistance to the Cultural Revolution, the attack on Zhou Enlai, and the persecution and death of Liu Shaoqi. Part Two examines the rise and fall of Lin Biao during the years 1959-1971. Lin's bid for power, which began with the consolidation of his personal clique in the army and mass-level persecution in the late stages of theCultural Revolution, ended in a failed coup and his death in an air crash. Part Three follows Jiang Qing from 1966 to her arrest in 1976 for her part in instigating mass violence and the persecution of key figures, including Zhou Enlai. During this period, the political fortunes of Deng Xiaoping rose and fell for a second time, the first protest at Tiananmen Square in 1976 ended in a bloody suppression, and that same year the Gang of Four were arrested. Unlike social scientific treatments of political phenomena, Turbulent Decade includes little discussion of economics, still less of international relations, and no institutional analysis. Instead, the authors' fervent belief in the truthful telling of history through its leading personalities pervades the work.

This work offers the most comprehensive account of the origin and consequences of the Yan'an Rectification Movement from 1942 to 1945. The author argues that this campaign emancipated the Chinese Communist Party from Sovietinfluenced dogmatism and unified the Party, preparing it for the final victory against the Nationalist Party in 1949. More importantly, this monograph shows in great detail how Mao Zedong established his leadership through this partywide political movement by means of aggressive intraparty purges, thought control, coercive cadre examinations, and total reorganizations of the Party's upper structure. The result of this movement not only set up the foundation for Mao's new China, but also deeply influenced the Chinese political structure today. The Chinese version of How the Red Sun Rose was published in 2000, and has had nineteen printings since then.
The author is a Cell Biologist. Thirty-three years ago in 1982, he began to study the origin of life related project - the biosynthesis of membrane, because he wanted to join a fundamental discussion - "If the human being was created by the God, or, through the long course of evolution?" That is an unsolved long debating even for today. And each party is actually contradictory one to another in the philosophical battlefield in human history. Four steps of the silylated aminoplastic embedding method to preserve lipid and membrane structure for electron microscopy are included, with which he produced the world's first pseudocolor EM photograph in 1982. (The third version was printed on or after 8/6/2015.)
This book introduces the principles and theories of fatigue statistics and presents the Zhentong Gao method along with its practical applications. Fatigue in metal components is a complex phenomenon and an important issue because the fatigue life of key components often determines the overall lifespan of the aircraft. The book provides an overview and analysis of existing fatigue life calculation and estimation methods, including probability statistical methods such as using Gaussian distribution, logarithmic Gaussian distribution, and Weibull distribution to fit actual data. However, the authors argue that these methods have limitations in terms of reliability and applicability. They point out that the location parameter of the Weibull distribution represents a safe life with 100% reliability. Based on these methods, the book proposes the intelligent Zhentong Gao method, which differs from traditional approaches and effectively addresses and solves the problem of estimating the three parameters of Weibull distribution. This title will serve as a valuable reference for researchers, senior undergraduate and graduate students, and engineers in the fields of aerospace, automotive, mechanical, civil engineering, etc.
This book is about Gao Village, in Jiangxi province, where the author was born and brought up, leaving when he was twenty-one to study English at Xiamen University. Since emigrating to Australia in 1990, he has returned every year to Gao Village, where his brother still lives. Several accounts of village life in China have been published, but all have been by Western or urban Chinese scholars. Mobo Gao's account is in every sense one from the inside. Though written as an academic work, it does not eschew personal stories and experiences relevant to the themes addressed. These cover a forty-year period and fall into four distinct themes; the village before and after land reform; the commune system; the dismantling of the communes; and the unfolding impact of the market economy, including increased migration to urban areas, from the late 1980s onwards.

Seminar paper from the year 2012 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, University of Southern California, language: English, abstract: In this paper, we first use SWOT Analysis and Porter’s five-force analysis to fully analyze Kodak’s current position in the market. In addition, we discuss financial strategy, marketing strategy and several suggestions on the changing of company culture. Globalization and shifts in technology have changed the thinking of consumers. Digital cameras and cell phones have created a shift in the way most people take pictures and retrieve their photos. Kodak failed in reinventing the company's core business model successfully during the past few years. The growth of new core business didn’t make up the effects of Kodak's fast-fading film revenues. Kodak is currently in serious financial trouble: quickly going through cash, selling patents and accessing credit lines. We are facing a difficult task in what can be considered one of the hardest financial times Kodak has ever been through.
