FOCUS ON
_THE CHINA CRITIC_
中國評論週報
This combined June/September 2012 issue of _China Heritage Quarterly_ introduces readers of the early twenty-first century to an important, but now little known, journal of the early twentieth century. Appearing at a time of patriotic concern and social change, intellectual cosmopolitanism and local contestation, the weekly English-language journal _The China Critic_ 中國評論週報 published its first issue in Shanghai in May 1928. Its editors and writers confronted the issues of day with urgency and fluency. When we introduced readers to _T'ien Hsia Monthly_ 天下月刊 (1935-1941) in the September 2009 issue of _China Heritage Quarterly_, we remarked that: > _T'ien Hsia _reflected a positive relationship between the patriotic > aspirations of some members of a Western-educated intelligentsia and > a generous spirit of cosmopolitanism. Many of the authors featured > in the pages of the journal aspired to be an equitable part of the > world community; they were close observers of and commentators on > recent developments in Euramerican culture while also paying due > attention to the major cultural trends of their own world. _The China Critic_ was similarly a product of a cosmopolitan demeanour, a fluency in English-language expression and ideas and an informed concern for contemporary China, its achievements and its limitations. The era of _The Critic_ was also one of mounting international conflict and patriotic fervour. It is timely to reconsider _The Critic_ and also to make available some of the insightful and controversial writing that appeared in its pages over a fourteen-year period. Fig.1 Vertical banner from the cover of _The China Critic_ 中國評論週報, in the hand of Cai Yuanpei 蔡元培 (1868-1940) In the Features section of this issue we preface our considerations of _The China Critic_ with a major studyof earlier
English-language and international publications in late-Qing and Republican China by Rudolf Wagner of Heidelberg University. Then, inspired by the young scholar William Sima's close reading and analysis of _The China Critic_, we attempt to recreate something of the background, ambient sense and granularity of _The Critic_ itself. To do so, Will (who is a Guest Editor of this issue) has compiled adetailed Chronology
. This running
account of the weekly provides the political context of the evolving editorial approach of _The Critic_, as well as offering our readers links to dozens of articles from its pages. In the following section, The Critic at Work, we introduce Eugene Lubotand Lin Yutang
, both of whom
discuss Chinese liberalism in what was very much an 'illiberal age'. Then, under twenty topic headings, we reproduce feature articles and relevant materials that effectively recreate _The Critic_ itself. In our 're-publishing' of _The China Critic_ the literary scholar Christopher Rea (a professor at the University of British Columbia who has taken up a one-year fellowship at the Australian Centre on China in the World) has played a substantial role as our other Guest Editor. Apart from his meticulous editorial and copy-editing work on many articles, Chris has written a major essay on the literary maven Qian Zhongshu (錢鍾書, 1910-1998) and what Qian himself called in his irrepressible fashion '批眼', 'The Critic Eye'. (In _China Heritage Glossary_ Chris also contributes a thoughtful essay on the word-universeof _lun_ 論.)
A range of contemporary scholars—Shuang Shen 沈雙, Qian Suoqiao
錢鎖橋 , Michael
Hill , Frank
Dikötter , Leon
Rocha and Fan Liya
範麗雅 —have
kindly offered work on various aspects of the era in which _The China Critic_ was published, or on issues that featured in its pages. In New Scholarship, Shuge Wei 魏舒歌 also introducesher recently
completed doctoral thesis on Republican era English-language propaganda. This body of recent scholarship provides new insights into the extraordinary period known as 'the Nanjing Decade'. It is fortuitous since the December 2012 issue of _China Heritage Quarterly_ takes as its focus the city and world of Nanjing/Nanking (our issue devoted to 'Fakes, Phonies, Forgeries and Follies' will appear in2013).
In T'ien Hsia we reproduce an essayby Lin Yutang
(林語堂, 1895-1976), the irrepressible 'Little Critic', on censorship. It is a piece that, like so much of the material presented in these virtual pages from _The China Critic_ era, reads as though it is addressing the realities of today's China, and not merely those of eighty years hence. Jeffrey Wasserstrom remarkson the American
literary ingénue, Emily Hahn, who has previously featured in our work on Shanghai and _T'ien Hsia_, and we conclude Pierre Ryckmans' 1996 Boyer Lectures with his meditationon 'going
abroad and staying home'. We finish this section with a recent studyby the literary
scholar Wu Meng 鄔蒙, who discusses the resonances of travel, displacement and identity in the fiction of Mu Xin 木心 and Pai Hsien-yung 白先勇. In Articles Tina Kanagaratnam introducesthe M Literary
Festivals of Shanghai and Beijing which, in recent years, have become a feature of the neo-cosmopolitan cultural life of those two cities, and we reprint a chapterfrom Randall
Gould's 1946 book, _China In the Sun_. New Scholarship continues ourdiscussion of
the Qing reformer/Republican thinker Kang Youwei 康有為. Also in this section David Brophy, an historian with the Australian Centre on China in the World, offers an updateon Frontier
(Inner Asian) Studies. Our colleague Duncan Campbell and his team of young scholars conclude this issue with a selection of lettersfrom the great
late-Ming writer of _belle-lettres_, Yuan Hongdao (袁宏道, 1568-1610). It seems a fitting end for an issue in which the 'Little Critic' Lin Yutang features so prominently. In the 1930s, Lin introduced a generation of Republican readers to Yuan, his talented brothers and many other important but neglected writers of the Mingera.
My thanks go to Daniel Sanderson, our Associate Editor, for his inordinate forbearance and tolerance during what has been an extendededitorial process.
The Dragon Year of 2012-2013 marks a major moment of national political transition in China. Like so many dragon years in the past, this year has been witness both to high drama and to political farce. It has also been a period when, as in _The China Critic _years, Sino-Japanese tensions have featured prominently. As work on this combined issue of _China Heritage Quarterly_ was drawing to an end, the Australian Centre on China in the World, under whose aegis this e-journal appears, launched The China Story Project, along with a yearbook (see: www.thechinastory.org ). The Project attempts to provide varying accounts of The China Story. It is a story that has been told, debated, retold and contended since the end of the Qing dynasty over a century ago. Reconsidering _The China Critic_ some eighty-five years since its debut is also timely as China confronts many of the issues that relate to that country's 'unfinished twentieth century'. —Geremie R.
