The Goujian story in antiquity -- The burden of national humiliation : late Qing and republican years -- The plight of Chiang Kai-shek's Taiwan -- Crisis and response: the Woxin changdan fever of the early 1960s -- Political allegory in the 1980s : Xiao Jun and Bai Hua -- The Goujian story in a privatizing China -- Conclusion : cross-cultural perspectives
The ancient story of King Goujian, a psychologically complex 5th-century BCE monarch, spoke powerfully to the Chinese during the 20th century, but remains little known in the West. This book explores the story's connections to the major traumas of the 20th century, and also considers why such stories remain unknown to outsiders
