Subversive Strategies in Contemporary Chinese Art

Biographical Dictionary of the People's Republic of China
This biographical dictionary is an indispensable research tool for information about the prominent persons of the past seven decades in China. The book documents nearly 600 Chinese individuals who contributed, for better or worse, to the development of Chinese life and culture since the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949. Though the book is weighted toward political figures, it includes persons in business, the military, academia, medicine, social movements, the arts, entertainment and athletics. In addition to an objective description of the person's life, an analysis is provided that identifies the individual's contributions and importance.

Acting the Right Part
Acting the Right Part is a cultural history of huaju (modern Chinese drama) from 1966 to 1996. Xiaomei Chen situates her study both in the context of Chinese literary and cultural history and in the context of comparative drama and theater, cultural studies, and critical issues relevant to national theater worldwide. Following a discussion of the marginality of modern Chinese drama in relation to other genres, periods, and cultures, early chapters focus on the dynamic relationship between theater and revolution. Chosen during the Cultural Revolution as the exclusive artistic vehicle to promote proletariat art, "model theater" raises important questions about the complex relationships between women, memory, nation/state, revolution, and visual culture. Throughout this study, Chen argues that dramatic norms inform both theatrical performance and everyday political behavior in contemporary China.

New Advancement in Tumor Microenvironment Remodeling and Cancer Therapy
Tumor microenvironment (TME) refers to the area with non-malignant cells, signaling molecules and blood vessels that surrounds and feeds tumor cells. A tumor can change its microenvironment, and TME is also known to profoundly impact the occurrence, growth, metastasis and therapeutic response and resistance of tumors. The special paracrine characteristics, microvascular system, extracellular matrix components and stromal cells in TME promote local tumor immune suppression and could alter the penetration and distribution of drugs into tumor tissues. Accumulating evidence demonstrates that currently available tumor therapies (i.e., chemotherapy, radiotherapy, anti-vascular therapy, small molecule targeted therapy, immune checkpoint inhibitors) also in turn greatly affect the structure, function, and physical and chemical properties of TME, leading to TME remodeling. However, whether and how interaction of tumor cells and TME modeling can be dissected and targeted to further understand the underlying molecular mechanisms and establish effective new tumor therapies remains elusive.
