Many people and institutions provided assistance during the long years spent in researching and writing this book. In Beijing and Nanjing, the staffs of the Number One and Two National Archives have been very helpful, and Liu Xiaojing, a researcher from the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS) Institute of Rural Development, provided a substantial amount of revealing materials on xiedou. I found it especially rewarding to work at the Universities Service Centre in Hong Kong and at the Academia Sinica Institute of Modern History in Taipei. Long after he completed his service as head librarian of that Institute, the historian Chen Yung-fa continued suggesting valuable bibliographical sources, as well as engaging in fruitful intellectual discussion. I still cherish the memory of the year spent long ago (19721973) in Ann Arbor, the stimulating community of the University of Michigan Center for Chinese Studies.
