	21	The Discourse of Gender Studies in China: From Topics to Debates

		Gender study as social analysis is an interdisciplinary field that combines theory with activism． It is influenced by western feminism and also finds roots in the rich but changing life and practice in transitional China． Its course of development moved from the rise of women's studies in China，through the efforts to introduce，spread and connect with feminism，and to it gaining shape and maturity through diversification of research in the process of localization． This paper first investigates the characteristics of the different stages of its localization in order to identify the changes in the mainstream gender studies from issues to critique of discourse and debates． These changes are the process of localization that is moving towards an open，diverse and inclusive discourse of gender studies．

	33	An Issue-Based Examination on Chinese Women's and Gender Studies as a Historically Constructed Academic Discipline: A Thoughts History's Perspective

		This article examines the Thoughts development of the Chinese characteristics of the name of the discipline of‘women's / gender studies’. It suggests that compared to those in the West，women's / gender studies in China have specifically focused on ‘gender’and overlooked sexuality due largely to the reason that Chinese scholars in the 1990s adopted the strategy of‘borrowing’ so as to address the social issues women faced in China． This borrowing was a creative adoption and translation in the particular historical conditions，which included cultural traditions，thought processes and analysis of issues． This paper argues that a steadfast development of an academic field should not follow a dualism between China and the West，and tradition and modernity，but situate in the local time and space to look into issues in their long term of the historical pulse combined with a global perspective to understand Chinese tradition and culture． This approach is to connect the resources in China and the West，both in the past and today，so as to identify real，localized issues and build authentic academy that is genuinely localized． It should break free from a development that is trapped in an anxiety about power structures between China and the West，which is though inevitable but should not be encompassing．

	52	Changes in China Families in the Past Forty Years of Reform and Opening-Up: Trajectory，Logic and Trend

		Chinese families have changed significantly since the start of the reforms and opening-up in the past forty years． Based on an historical review of research on families in the past decades and the data from China Statistical Yearbooks and censuses，this paper discusses the five dimensions of the trajectory of changes in Chinese families． The author finds that the forming of family has been delayed，the scale of family has been downsized，the structure of family is becoming more diversified，and family relationships are more democratic and equal，although family-based risks are also growing． Modernization as a driving force of family changes together with the state's intervention in changing family life，especially the rigorous family planning policy，has a profound impact on Chinese families．There are debates about the trend of changes in families． Nevertheless，the frequently mentioned“family crisis”and the factor of family frequently reinforced in migration，remind us that we need to re-inspect the relationship between the state，the family and individuals， and improve the system of family policy to prevent the spread of family crisis．

	70	The Cost of Raising Children in China and Its Policy Implications

		To determine the cost of raising a child and how to measure this cost is important in determining how to share the responsibility of childcare between the state and society． This paper reviews prevailing definitions and approaches to the measurement of child costs． The cost of raising a child is defined as not only the cash outlay“marginal”costs ( direct costs) but also the time ( indirect costs) that parents spend when they add a child to their household． The gap in family income/motherhood pay gap，measured by the pay gap between mothers and nonmothers， is also defined as the indirect cost of raising a child． Based on the data of Chinese Family Survey in 2014，it is estimated that the direct economic cost of raising a child from 0 to 17 years old is 191 thousands Yuan，273． 2 thousands Yuan for urban children，and 143． 4 thousands Yuan for rural children． The lower the family income is，the higher the percentage of cost of raising a child is． The author uses data from 3rd National Survey on Chinese Women's Social Status to examine the wage penalty for motherhood． Results show a wage penalty of 12． 8 percent per child while controlling other variables． Finally，the author discusses policy recommendations related to the cost of raising children．

	85	The Analysis and Construction of Women and Marriage & Family Social Work

		In addition to women who are by far the majority of social workers and their clients， social work also carries the meanings of “delicate， caring， inclusive”and other soft social governance． This attribute is significant for preventing and coping with current issues with women and marriage ＆ family in China． Thus， in response to feminist social work and family social work in Europe and the United States， this paper advocates a social work that is compatible with the local context of women and marriage ＆ family，mainly related to work by Women's Federation，neighborhood support and professional social work． According to analyses of these three aspects，work by Women's Federation still plays a main role． However，because of its administrative function that has weakened its service function， it no longer plays a real role due to a lack of professionalism and mobility． Neighborhood help，which is an important supplement， continues to be impacted by modernity and is showing a lower level， fragmented， temporary existence and even tends to disappear． Professional social work is a burgeoning science， it promises expressive and realistic abilities to deal with problems，but the localization is still an arduous problem． What is needed is to create a system to integrate administrative function， voluntarism and professionalism into one．

	97	A New Landscape of Women's Literary Production and Social Bonding in Yangzhou: Networks of He Pei-zhu's Family

		The Qing woman writer，He Peizhu ( 1819 － ?) ，whose family resided in Yangzhou，has attracted increasing scholarly attention due to her play，Dream of Pear Blossoms． This study shifts the focus from the textual interpretation of the play to the socio-cultural trends shaping its production and the He family's cultural activities，as a means of bringing to light a new landscape of women's literary production and social bonding in Yangzhou． Garnering from their literary works——and illustrating in graphs——information of their social bonds，this study uncovers the He family's ties to the culture of salt wealth built by the Huizhou mercantile lineages in Yangzhou and to the elite networks in the cultural heartland of the lower Yangtze area． Major“nodes”in these networks，especially Ruan Yuan，open the door to the rich records of women's literary communities in Yangzhou and their connections with the cultural heartland． Understanding Yangzhou in the above light calls into question the stereotypical images of the women of Yangzhou——as part of the city's notorious“commerce of women”——and brings methodological insights to the studies of the Huizhou mercantile lineages and women's writings from the Ming-Qing era．

	109	*The Female Body Rhetoric and the Cultural History of“Sensuality” in Early Film Commentaries of ShenBao( 1925－1935)*

		Through the analysis of the corpus related to“sensuality”and“film”in ShenBao ( 1925－1935) ，the article explains the development of“sensuality”and“female body rhetoric”，and its movement along different rhetoric paths while“sensual female rhetoric”obtains artistic modernity． Through the commercialization of rhetoric on sensuality and the consumerism of the female body， the decadent sensuality and the rhetoric on female body's nationalism，the consciousness-correct sensuality and the female body's new life doctrinal rhetoric and so on，this study suggests that the path for“the voluptuousness”of the female body rhetoric in Chinese early films changed． Different paths interwove with the formation of the meaning of“sensuality”and the complex construction of its cultural history． The complexity of construction of cultural history of the word“sensual”in the review of the ShenBao，on the one hand，was a result of the use of rhetoric by the mainstream ideology，and on the other hand，revealed the embarrassment of modernity that the ideological transition exhibited in different periods of history．

	118	Writings about Changes in Gender，the War and the Nation: Focusing on Guan Lu

		Guan Lu is a“left-leaning”woman writer who cannot be discounted in the history of Chinese modern literature． Between 1939 and 1945， she was sent by the underground organization of the Chinese Communist Party to work as an undercover to run the journal of “Women's Voice”as its editor in the“76 Devil's Cave”at the Headquarters of the secret agents in Wang Jinwei's government． Before that，her writings on gender，war stories and“illness”as metaphor not only showed her exceptional life and experiences but also drew the historical pictures of complex intersections between gender， the war and the nation． Indirectly，her writings indicated both the connections as well as the disconnections between women's liberation and the Chinese liberation．
