The long war opened a Pandora’s box and let loose all curses on the Chinese people’s suffering and surviving. Drawing on archival documents and oral history interviews, this chapter aims to tell the strategy of peasant survival in North China.

That same year, in the Girard case, another American soldier killed a Japanese woman in Japan. Due to the unequal positions of Taiwan and Japan in US Cold War strategy, these two killings were handled differently and led to dissimilar reactions. Washington viewed Taipei as somewhat of a troublemaker rather than a reliable ally and expressed great suspicion of Chiang Kai-shek and his eldest son, Chiang Ching-kuo. The US government had already declined to support Chiang Kai-shek's plan for parachute raids in China. Meanwhile, Chiang's authoritarian regime created a hotbed for the outbreak of nationalism. The people of Taiwan experienced a "pawn complex" and, in the Reynolds case, gave vent to accumulated ideological and social pressures.

This cooperative relationship naturally added up some fondness and admiration to the emerging Chinese perception of the United States, if any, as the most powerful but the least aggressive among alien powers. By the same token, although the United States had a traditional bias against East Asians at home, the notorious Chinese Exclusion Act was revised in December 1943. With growing military demands, mutual images turned at large positive and friendly, in contrast to those of the Japanese, among societies in both.
Shortly after World War II, however, the wartime alliance became torn up by ideological confrontations first in China and then across the globe. First, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) assisted by the Soviet Union overthrew the United States-sponsored Nationalist government in 1949, and then it challenged the American-led United Nations peace keeping troops in Korea from 1950 to 1953. During this time, the Sino-American relations declined to an unprecedentedly low level. The relations between the two countries were reflected in the images each side had of the other. As in former wars, we may observe inevitably self divinization alongside the demonization of the other. By here the ideological gap seemed broader than ever. Both communism and capitalism claimed internationally to be at the top of the social evolutionary chain. Race played here a significant role too. Nevertheless, the ideology was so pervasive and powerful that the racial discourse has been largely ignored. This chapter seeks to uncover the racism that underlaid the Sino-American military and ideological conflict during the first half of the 1950s. It examines the sources for the mutual racial hate, its manifestation, and consequences.

Hong Kong was a window through which the West could monitor what was happening in China and an outlet that China could use to keep in touch with the outside world. Exploring the many complexities of Cold War politics from a global and interdisciplinary perspective, Hong Kong in the Cold War shows how Hong Kong attained and honed a pragmatic tradition that bridged the abyss between such opposite ideas as capitalism and communism, thus maintaining a compromise between China and the rest of the world.
The chapters are written by nine leading international scholars and address issues of diplomacy and politics, finance and economics, intelligence and propaganda, refugees and humanitarianism, tourism and popular culture, and their lasting impact on Hong Kong. Far from simply describing a historical period, these essays show that Hong Kong's unique Cold War experience may provide a viable blueprint for modern-day China to develop a similar model of good governance and may in fact hold the key to the successful implementation of the One Country Two Systems idea.

本书虽以国共为题，却并不要按照冷战模式去两分世界。它试图说说意识形态以外的东西，试图讲讲人在大环境中的命运。按照作者的脉络，冷战是内战的继续，内战是二战的继续；而二战又是一战的继续，一战更是以往... more 本书虽以国共为题，却并不要按照冷战模式去两分世界。它试图说说意识形态以外的东西，试图讲讲人在大环境中的命运。按照作者的脉络，冷战是内战的继续，内战是二战的继续；而二战又是一战的继续，一战更是以往大小血腥权力争斗的继续。民（种）族主义——现代主义为核心的世界观和历史观，无助于我们反思人类社会20世纪的野蛮属性，文化差异也自然不能通过扩大对立去弥合。所以，这本书提供的是一个通过历史去体会、理解的场景，一个反思的机会和希望。
