This innovative collection explores the life stories of Chinese women and men between the seventeenth and twenty-first centuries. It draws on both biographical and autobiographical narratives and on perspectives taken from life writing theory to ask how lives were lived and written within and against the rules of the auto/biographical game.

Analyzes Chinese responses to Japanese political and military expansion in North China in the 1930s. Where previous studies have examined public responses to central government policy, this study looks at the uncertain loyalties and internal pressures that drove Chinese dealings with Japan.
