具体描述
In 1935, a Chinese woman by the name of Shi Jianqiao murdered the notorious warlord Sun Chuanfang as he prayed in a Buddhist temple. This riveting work of history examines this well-publicized crime and the highly sensationalized trial of the killer. In a fascinating investigation of the media, political, and judicial records surrounding this cause célèbre, Eugenia Lean shows how Shi Jianqiao planned not only to avenge the death of her father, but also to attract media attention and galvanize public support. Lean traces the rise of a new sentiment--"public sympathy"--in early twentieth-century China, a sentiment that ultimately served to exonerate the assassin. The book sheds new light on the political significance of emotions, the powerful influence of sensational media, modern law in China, and the gendered nature of modernity.

用户评价
Lean’s masterpiece offers an unassuming, intriguing entry to Republican Chinese history, where a wide array of characters, from the masses to the elites and back to the masses, are introduced; continuities and changes, extending both ways, are explored; seemingly trivial(ised), sentimental(ised) issues are given due analysis. 海外中国研究的上佳之作。
