Eunuch and Emperor in the Great Age of Qing Rule
Eunuch and Emperor in the Great Age of Qing Rule offers a new interpretation of eunuchs and their connection to imperial rule in the first century and a half of the Qing dynasty (1644–1800). This period encompassed the reigns of three of China’s most important emperors, men who were deeply affected by the great eunuch corruption of the fallen Ming dynasty. In this groundbreaking and deeply researched book, the author explores how Qing emperors sought to prevent a return of the harmful excesses of eunuchs and how eunuchs flourished in the face of the restrictions imposed upon them. We meet powerful eunuchs who faithfully served, and in some cases ultimately betrayed, their emperors. We also meet ordinary eunuchs whose lives, punctuated by dramas large and small, provide a fascinating perspective on the Qing palace world.

Mommy, You Lie Again!
Pei Yu did not know whether it was luck or bad luck. After living for two lifetimes, he had not been able to live past the age of 20. Pei Yu looked at the pitiful glutinous rice ball and asked, "Tell me, am I your mother?" The little blob nodded. Pei Yu pointed at the shabby thatched cottage behind them and asked, "You're saying that this is our house?" The little blob curled his lips. "Mother, mother, why did you fall so far and become an idiot?" Pei Yu facepalmed and threw the Crown Prince who was following behind him, "Let me introduce you, this is your stupid father." The little blob cried out, "It's over! It's over! Mother really fell stupid! "

Mobilization, Factionalization and Destruction of Mass Movements in the Cultural Revolution
Based on a unique survey of Chinese respondents, the authors find that participation in social movements during the Cultural Revolution was motivated by the desire to improve social status or maintain existing positions in the social hierarchy. A strong relationship is noted between factional alignment and family background in provinces immersed in class-based struggle; however, the association becomes nil in provinces where sectarian struggle was grounded in class. The authors assert that the social conflict school has failed to adequately examine sectarian internecine fights among rebels in attempts to explain the mass movements, while the political process school has ignored fundamental social conflicts embedded in Chinese society. Potential pitfalls likely to confront future mass movements are identified.
