Mao Zedong, Cai Hesen, Xiao Zisheng, and others attended the Hunan First Normal School. Focusing on their alma mater, this work explores the critical but overlooked role modern schools played in sowing the seeds of revolution in the minds of students seeking modern education in the 1910s. The Hunan First Normal School was one of many reformed schools established in China in the early twentieth century in response to the urgent need to modernize the nation. Its history is a tapestry woven of traditional Chinese and modern Western threads. Chinese tradition figured significantly in the character of the school, yet Western ideas and contemporary social, political, and intellectual circumstances strongly shaped its policies and practices. Examining the background, curriculum, and the reforms of the school, as well as its teachers and radical students, Liyan Liu argues that China's modern schools provided a venue that nurtured and spread new ideas, including Communist revolution. 517 3 $aHunan Normal School and the creation of Chinese communism, 1903-1921 606 $aCommunism$zChina$xHistory 606 $aEducational change$zChina$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aCommunism$xHistory. 615 0$aEducational change$xHistory 676 $a378.51/215 700 $aLiu$b Liyan$f1958 Apr. 17-$01645806 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820499703321 996 $aRed genesis$93992513 997 $aUNINA
