Features: The Chinese merchant ships are equipped with Political Commissars, while European merchant ships once had, and are now attempting to re-establish, chaplains on board. This creates a situation where Chinese merchant ships have commissars but no chaplains, and European merchant ships have chaplains but no commissars. Chinese commissars – European chaplains, European chaplains – Chinese commissars, this is indeed an interesting topic. This book is divided into two parts, respectively introducing the setup, role, and functions of the Political Commissar on Chinese merchant ships, as well as the social life of the commissar and crew members at sea.
