The impact of these substances is undeniable, and the role they have played in Chinese social, cultural, and economic history is extremely complex. In Intoxicating Manchuria, Norman Smith reveals how warlord rule, Japanese occupation, and political conflict affected local intoxicant industries. These industries flourished throughout the early twentieth century, even as a vigorous anti-intoxicant movement raged. Through the lens of popular Chinese media depictions of alcohol and opium, Smith analyzes how intoxicants and addiction were understood in this society, the role the Japanese occupation of Manchuria played in their portrayal, and the efforts made to reduce opium and alcohol consumption. This is the first English-language book-length study to focus on alcohol use in modern China and the first dealing with intoxicant restrictions in the region. 410 0$aContemporary Chinese studies,$x1206-9523. 606 $aDrinking of alcoholic beverages$zChina$zManchuria$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aOpium abuse$zChina$zManchuria$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aDrinking of alcoholic beverages$xHistory 615 0$aOpium abuse$xHistory 676 $a362.29209518 700 $aSmith$b Norman$0462333 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910819717203321 996 $aIntoxicating Manchuria$93940395 997 $aUNINA
