Features: As the second volume in the "New Social History" series, Body·Mind·Power collects 11 new works by scholars in the field of new social history. Among them are works such as Pan Guangzhe's from Taiwan, The Creation and Dissemination of the "Washington Myth" in Late Qing China; Hai Qing's, On Suicide—The Radical Behavior and Value Choices of Intellectuals Before and After the May Fourth Movement; Su Chengjie from the United States, The Qing Dynasty's Polyandry as a Survival Strategy; and Zhang Zhijia from Taiwan, Pulse-taking for the Emperor—The Famous Doctor Li Jun and the Guangxu Emperor. These works offer fresh perspectives, depth without lacking, and are indeed outstanding contributions to the field of social history. Among them, what might particularly interest Guangzhou readers is Wang Xiaokui's Revolutionary Memory and Modern Public Space—from the "Huanghuagang Park" to the "Guangzhou Uprising Martyrs' Cemetery", which analyzes the formation of the "public memory" surrounding the martyrs' cemetery. At least, I was still the second time hearing that there once stood a "Statue of Liberty" in the martyrs' cemetery.
