Essays seek to answer what films can reveal or obscure about Chinese history and society and demonstrate how studying films from the PRC can introduce students to larger issues of historical consciousness and media representation. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe volume addresses not only postsocialist fictional films but also a wide variety of other subjects including socialist period films, documentaries, films by or about people from ethnic minority groups, film music, the perspectives of female characters, martial arts cinema, and remakes of South Korean films. By exploring how films represent power, traditions, and ideologies, students learn about both the complexity of the PRC and the importance of cross-cultural and cross-ideological understanding.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis volume contains discussion of \u003ci\u003eBeijing Bicycle\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eThe Big Shot\u003c\/i\u003e; Cai Chusheng; \u003ci\u003eChasing the Carp\u003c\/i\u003e; Jackie Chan; \u003ci\u003eChildren at a Village School\u003c\/i\u003e; Cui Zien; Fan Lixin; \u003ci\u003eFish and Elephant\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eFive Golden Flowers\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eHero\u003c\/i\u003e; Ann Hui; \u003ci\u003eIp Man\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eJiang Hu: Life on the Road\u003c\/i\u003e; Jiang Nengjie; \u003ci\u003eLast Train Home\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eLi Shuangshuang\u003c\/i\u003e; Li Yu; Lou Ye; \u003ci\u003eMeishi Street\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eNew Women\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003e1911\u003c\/i\u003e; Ou Ning; \u003ci\u003eThe Postmodern Life of My Aunt\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eQueer China, Comrade China\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eRed Detachment of Women\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eRiver Elegy\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eThe Road Home\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eShadow Magic\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eShower\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eSoul Haunted by Painting\u003c\/i\u003e; Su Xiaokang; \u003ci\u003eSuzhou River\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eTo Live\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eThe Wandering Earth\u003c\/i\u003e; Wang Bing; Wang Luxiang; Wang Xiaoshuai; \u003ci\u003eWest of the Tracks\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eThe White-Haired Girl\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eWolf Warrior 2\u003c\/i\u003e; Wu Bai; Wu Jing; Wu Wenguang; Xia Jun; Xie Jin; \u003ci\u003eYellow Earth\u003c\/i\u003e; Ying Yunwei; Wilson Yip; Yu Hua; Zhang Li; Zhang Yang; and Zhang Yimou.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction, by Zhuoyi Wang, Emily Wilcox, and Hongmei Yu\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart I: Pedagogical Methods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Rhizomatic Approach to Teaching China through Film, by Chenshu Zhou\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNavigating Diverse Viewing Positions in the Film Classroom, by Angie Chau\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTeaching Ideology through a Controversial Chinese Film: The Case of \u003ci\u003eThe Wandering Earth\u003c\/i\u003e, by Zhuoyi Wang\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart II: Reexamining Revolutionary Narratives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGender, Class, and Ethnicity in \u003ci\u003eLi Shuangshuang\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe White-Haired Girl\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eFive Golden Flowers\u003c\/i\u003e, by Emily Wilcox\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCultural Revolution Films and Their Production History, by Angie C.
