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.
Eugenia Lean is Assistant Professor of History at Columbia University.

评分想以小见大,但奈何方法论功力不足
评分Good writing, organization, and deep insights. But not rich and profound enough due to the limitation of a single case.
评分看得好困啊.....
评分见微知著,从个案入手很好地搭建理论与历史的桥梁,将性别在公共讨论中的角色、公私领域的界分与交织、个体与政权的博弈放在五四落潮期与革命酝酿期这个过渡时代中叙述,波澜壮阔呀!An exemplary work
