How did young people in Northeast China resist the Japanese invasion? How did the Japanese secret service monitor their cultural activities in Manchukuo? How did the Manchus view these activities within a situation in which they saw the Republican government as their enemy, when they were ruled by the Japanese? The different modes of spatial knowledge these historical actors have employed in narrating the borders of culture and geography have expanded our horizon of this time/space of conflict. This paper explores Chinese young people's anti-Japanese activities in Manchukuo, based on the materials donated by renowned Chinese writer Ji Gang (紀剛). Ji Gang participated in these activities under the cover of a medical student, and described them in his well-received non-fiction book Rolling Liao River (Gungun liaohe 滾滾遼河). The paper focuses in particular on the Japanese secret police's reports, donated by Ji Gang to the Tsing Hua University Library, that analyze the anti-Japanese content of Chinese literary works. These reports can be described as the hidden transcripts, in terms of James C. Scott's definition. However, Scott's work on domination and resistance is framed within a dichotomy of dominator/dominated. This paper will explore the multi-sided contention in Manchukuo involving interactions among the Japanese, Manchus, Han, Nationalists, and Communists through their literary writings. |
