This paper means to give an analysis of A Farewell to Arms from its art of narration. Drawing from theories of narratology, the dissertation focuses on the analysis of narrative time, narrative person and narrative voice as they are presented in A Farewell to Arms. The aim of this dissertation is to make an objective analysis of Hemingway's narrative power in A Farewell to Arms from narrative perspectives, and tries to find out why A Farewell to Arms are enduring and great.展开更多

Though this happened in Du bai. where the crime rate is among the lowest in the world （and the car turned out to be a police patrol）, still, old instincts die hard. I was born and brought up in a country a survey found to be the fourth most dangerous for women. Approaching strangers in empty streets automatically send up a red flag for us.展开更多

Rather than conceptualizing Asia as a geo-economic entity, as a cultural historical construct of Euro-centrism, and as a capitalist vision of the world market, this paper seeks to recapture ＂Asia＂ in what I call ＂affective articulations.＂ Specifically, I will examine Dazai Osamu＇s Farewell with Regret （Sekibetsu, 1945） and Zhang Chengzhi＇s Respect and Farewell with Regret （Jingzhong yu xibie, 2008） as two exemplars of inter-Asian writing in which Asia is represented as a loaded symbol of affect. Whereas Dazai＇s book was written in the heat of Great East Asia War, to comply with the demands of the Japanese war effort, Zhang＇s book was written at the no less challenging time of China＇s rise to regional hegemony. Though they differ in style and purpose, both texts hold up a vision of Asia which is distinctly grasped in affective encounters, symbolized by the act of ＂bidding farewell with regret＂ （xibie）. Intrigued by the affective significance of bidding farewell with regret, this paper first considers ＂farewell＂ as a method to recast the discussion of Asia in regional and geopolitical terms, and then performs an analysis of the texts in question so as to identify crucial moments when Asia, despite its internal heterogeneity and complicated history, is grasped in the affective articulation of Sino-Japanese encounters. Such moments, I believe, are real, sincere, and indispensable for our attempt to re-imagine Asia as a translocal solidarity.展开更多

But those days are over. As President Xi Jinping observed,"China has bid farewell to the problems that plagued its people for thousands of years, including hunger, shortages and poverty.”China's ascendency is generating some questions. One question centers on the country's role in global health. This is because China is making rapid progress in all four primary domains of global health-health aid, health security, health governance and health information exchange.展开更多
