Facts And Construction: Study On Subao Case

Subao Case is a famous event in modern Chinese history, and there are some papers and works that make very good research about it, so it seems to be impossible to make deeper research, but based on the new materials I have found and the creative approach, I will try to make the breakthrough on the Subao Case study. This dissertation consist of two section, section one is about the event itself, it will provide general background information on the Subao Case and will offer a synthesis of existing scholarship and provide a starting point, it will focus on a few topics, such as what caused the Subao publish the revolutionary articles? Why did the powers refuse to surrender the prisoners? And how about the court case itself? Section two will discuss the discourse on Subao case. Firstly, I will look at the way how did newspapers report on the Subao Case, and especially their editorial comments on the case that created public opinion on the matters involved. By looking at the Chinese newspapers such as Shenbao, Xinwenbao, Mingguo riribao, zhongwai ribao and Huazi Ribao discussed and represented the Subao Case I will discuss the media's role in the formulation of public opinion and the interrelationship between different media(newspapers), thereby significantly enlarging the knowledge of the broader Chinese language media in Shanghai and all of China in the early twentieth century. I also intend to study the discourse on the Subao Case as presented in the foreign language newspapers that published in Shanghai, London, New York, Washington, Los Angeles. By so doing, I tyr to provide a better understanding of the transnational dimensions of public opinion formation about China during that period. Finally, I will trace the history of political writings about the Subao Case over the course of the twentieth century, thus showing its ongoing relevance over time and the way interpretations of its meaning have shifted according to who was doing the interpreting and the specific context in which the interpretations were being made. In this section, among other things, I will discuss a novel written by the famous revolutionary, the way the Communist Party narrated the Subao Case after 1949, and the way the Subao Case has been handled in post-Mao China, especially as seen in a movie based on the case.
