Beschreibung
This book offers a critical study on the history of Shanghai
No.3 Girls’ Middle School, from its missionary predecessors,
St. Mary’s Hall and McTyeire School, to its present form as
a public school. By bringing together three historical
periods, late imperial, the Republic of China and the
People’s Republic of China, and their respective political
regimes into one project and tracing continuities and
discontinuities in terms of education between the
Nationalists and Communists, the book argues that education
in Chinese modern history affords another example of
“continuous revolution”.
Xiaoyan Liu is researcher at the Meiji
Institute for Global Affairs, Meiji University (Tokyo,
