중화인민공화국 성립 초기 보훈정책의 수립

This paper examines the background of the implementation of the People’s Republic of China(PRC), which is not revealed in previous studies. Before and after the establishment of the PRC, we looked at the reasons why the Chinese Communist Party(CCP) actively promoted the Chinese government and what was the goal to be achieved through the Chinese government. In this paper, it was “war” that was noted while looking at the process of establishing the PRC. I think the nature of the political party implemented by the PRC before and after the establishment of the PRC is different. From the establishment of the CCP in July 1921 to the establishment of the PRC on October 1st, 1949, the CCP had been threatened and fought by the The Kuomintang(KMT). Prior to the founding of the PRC, the goal was to win the competition with the CCP by promoting the expansion of the Chinese Red Army through the veterans policy. Immediately after the victory in the Chinese Civil War and the founding of the PRC, the resolution of the economic difficulties and stability of the national system were prioritized. However, due to the “The Korean War” that broke out on June 25th, 1950, the establishment of national politics was accelerated. The long-term goal of the veterans policy, which was enacted and implemented after the founding of the country, was to contribute to the solidarity and stability of the national system.

A brief review on studies of the Chinese Red Army medical aid

The Chinese Red Army medical aid not only has collected and collated existing data but also has studied related contents.With regard to the collection of data and materials, there were both medical-health thematic data and medical-health data covered by the comprehensive data, reprinted and translated of documentary data.With respect to medical aid research, there were both comprehensive and thematic studies. Among thematic studies, included medical institutions, health teams, methodology, role of health work, medical aid with traditional Chinese Medicine, and the research of Red Army medical staff.Looking forward to the future research, we should focus on literature mining and data expansion, innovation of research perspective, integrated application of multidisciplinary research methods, diversity of research subjects and the "normalization" of research results.

Last Chance in Manchuria: The Diary of Chang Kia-ngau. Edited by Donald G. Gillin and Ramon H. Myers. Translated by Dolores Zen, with the assistance of Donald G. Gillin. Stanford: Hoover Institution Press, 1989. viii, 350 pp. $36.95.

This diary offers an important new perspective on the critical events leading to the end of the Chinese civil war. From September 1945 to April 1946, Chang Kia-ngau kept a daily log in the negotiations between Nationalist China and Soviet Union to recover Manchuria from Soviet military occupation. The diary reveals that the Russians actively sought Nationalist China's cooperation in rehabilitating and operating the huge industrial complex that the Japanese had built in Manchuria during the 1930s and 1940s. The Russians were willing to let Chiang Kai-shek's government take control over Manchuria if the Nationalists would pledge that only Russia would be able to exert foreign influence in Manchuria. Chang Kia-ngau's diary is an eyewitness account of how Manchuria, one of the world's greatest industrial sites, fell to the control of the Chinese Red Army and thus led to the communist victory over Chiang Kai-shek. This book will interest students of cold war rivalry, U.S. foreign policy, Soviet diplomacy, and Chinese history alike.

Editor's Note

Kuan Feng's article "A Study of Sun Tzu's Philosophical Thought on the Military" won him an influential position in ideological circles in the Chinese Communist Party. It has been circulated for study in the Chinese Red Army. Again studying an ancient thinker from a materialist and dialectical point of view, Kuan Feng has made a clear and penetrating analysis of Sun Tzu's military philosophy and its relation to other schools of thought such as Lao Tzu's. Thus a subsequent discussion on Lao Tzu in this issue will help to locate fundamental ideas which Kuan and other Marxist-oriented philosophers in China hold to be valuable.

The Nanchang Uprising

August 1, 1927, is one of the big days in the history of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). It marked the opening of a military phase which was to last more than twenty years and was to leave a deep mark on the Party and the present régime both in their outlook and their structure. Symbolically, it is the birthday of the People's Liberation Army (PLA), the Chinese Red Army, and it is as such that it is celebrated every year. It would perhaps be worthwhile after thirty-five years to make an accurate assessment of this event and first to place it in the political context of the time.

The War in China and the Soviet Press

THROUGHOUT course of war in China there has been a tendency in world to assume that all countries except Soviet Union are more or less neutral. Suggestions have recurred constantly that Soviet Union will ultimately intervene on side of China against Japan. Yet expression the world press as commonly used still omits almost entirely of both Soviet Union and China. It is particularly pertinent, therefore, to attempt a survey of news about China and about war that is presented to Soviet public. By such a survey, for one thing, it may be possible to judge views which readers of Soviet newspapers are likely to develop. Perhaps more important, it may show whether there are any indications in Soviet that U.S.S.R. might intervene in China's struggle against Japan. It is no surprise to find in Soviet a special emphasis on Eighth Route Army, former Chinese Red Army.1 The area which this army occupied when it came to terms with National Government, just before beginning of Japanese invasion, has been greatly expanded since beginning of war. It now takes in a great part of North China into which Japanese columns have penetrated. This whole area, including its original nucleus organized under Chinese Government as Border Region of Shensi, Kansu, and Ninghsia, is referred to in Soviet as Special Region. On October i5, 1938, Pravda published a Survey of Chinese Press dealing with this region, emphasizing that Chinese are defending themselves, but also making it clear that, in this region at least, defense does not mean simply waiting for Japanese to arrive. On contrary, aim and methods of Eighth Route
