Eugenia Lean is Assistant Professor of History at Columbia University.
In 1935, a Chinese woman by the name of Shi Jianqiao murdered the notorious warlord Sun Chuanfang as he prayed in a Buddhist temple. This riveting work of history examines this well-publicized crime and the highly sensationalized trial of the killer. In a fascinating investigation of the media, political, and judicial records surrounding this cause célèbre, Eugenia Lean shows how Shi Jianqiao planned not only to avenge the death of her father, but also to attract media attention and galvanize public support. Lean traces the rise of a new sentiment--"public sympathy"--in early twentieth-century China, a sentiment that ultimately served to exonerate the assassin. The book sheds new light on the political significance of emotions, the powerful influence of sensational media, modern law in China, and the gendered nature of modernity.

評分作者是否誇大瞭大眾媒體的作用?在林鬱沁看來,“公眾同情”是一種隨著大眾媒體興起後産生的“新”的情感體驗。可是,“情”在中國傳統文化中有著悠久曆史。比如,在沒有大眾媒介的春鞦時期,就有眾怒一說。(《左傳•襄公十年》就有講到“眾怒難犯”)既然有眾怒,是否也可...
