This book investigates handwritten entertainment fiction (shouchaoben wenxue) which circulated clandestinely during the Chinese Cultural Revolution. Lena Henningsen’s analyses of exemplary stories and their variation across different manuscript copies brings to light the creativity of these readers-turned-copyists. Through copying, readers modified the stories and became secondary authors who reflected on the realities of the Cultural Revolution. Through an enquiry into actual reading practices as mapped in autobiographical accounts and into intertextual references within the stories, the book also positions manuscript fiction within the larger reading cosmos of the long 1970s. Henningsen analyzes the production, circulation and consumption of these texts, considering continuities across the alleged divide of the end of the Mao-era and the beginning of the reform period. The book further reveals how these texts achieved fruitful afterlives as re-published bestsellers or as adaptations into comic books or movies, continuing to shape the minds of their audience and the imaginations of the past.Chapter 5 is available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License via link.springer.com.

This volume illustrates Asian speculative fiction's potential to interrogate and inspire humanity's ecological and ethical responsibilities, seeking to fill a major lacuna in previous academic literature around ecocriticism in speculative fiction. Contributions are thematically organized into three sections—Human-Nature Co-evolution and Ecomedia, Technologies and East Asian Heritage, and Posthuman Ecology. Chapter authors draw on global viewpoints to provide a multi-dimensional analysis that includes Indigenous knowledge, trans-local (inter-Asian) exchanges, and perspectives from the Global South. To end, the book provides a reflection on how speculative fiction promotes a vision of interconnected kinship among humans, the nonhuman, and the natural world.
Constructing Chinese Literature in the Twentieth Century
Redefining World Literature

This book examines how Chinese thinkers and writers drew on foreign literature between 1918 and 1958 in order to construct China's independent cultural identity. By covering work by authors such as Lu Xun, Yuan Shu, Zhou Libo, Bing Xin, Ding Lin, Guo Xiaochuan, Ye Junjian, and others, this book shows how twentieth-century Chinese literature was shaped by transnational intellectual forces and movements such as imperialism, Asian regionalism, internationalism, and cosmopolitanism. While many studies on modern Chinese literature have remained within the confines of national history, this study analyses key literary writings and translations carried out by modern Chinese writers to demonstrate that the process of establishing China's nation-state is also the process of establishing China's interconnection to the world. This book also aims to show how foreign literary resources were borrowed, translated, mediated, and transformed in China in the period.

This book traces the key stages in the cultural construction of Suzhou as ‘the Venice of China,’ through textual and visual representations by European missionaries, travellers and intellectuals from the thirteenth through nineteenth centuries. The images and representations of China they produced played a significant role in shaping and disseminating knowledge about the ‘Orient’. In their works, the frequent parallel drawn between Venice and Suzhou served a heuristic function: it aimed to domesticate a distant and foreign reality for a European audience. While initial depictions of China, influenced by late-Renaissance thought, constructed China through inductive and analogical methods, voyagers in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries adopted an empirical stance often filtered through a picturesque view that resulted in a similarly fictional portrayal of China. The vision of Suzhou as ‘the Venice of China’ endured over the centuries and was solidified by its consistent reiteration. Following the twinning agreement between Suzhou and Venice in 1980, the discursive association between the two cities intensified. The first part of this book describes the cultural construction of the long palimpsest that shaped the image of Suzhou as the ‘Venice of China’. The second part explores how Venice is portrayed in Chinese sources, which initially reflected various foreign perspectives and ultimately culminated in a reversal of the centuries-old adage, presenting Venice as ‘the Suzhou of Europe’.
