接管杭州 城市改造與幹部蟬變

三十．三十書系

by James Z. Gao

　　在1949年軍事勝利的形勢下，中國共產黨離開熟悉的農村根據地，逐步接管城市，進入陌生的政治文化生態，恢復經濟、改造機構、鞏固政權。高崢教授強調由此啓動的文化轉型，與政權更迭具有同等重要的意義。本書以杭州為中心，詳細考察1949至1954年間中共對接管幹部的準備和訓練、城市政策的制定與對話，以及接管後城市與鄉村、南方與北方、革命與傳統等不同文化之間的碰撞和互動。在此過程中，革命者改造了傳統城市，城市也改造了農村革命者。而革命者這種新的文化認同，對確立新政權的合法性、穩定性和現代性，同時保持其革命理想，起了決定性的作用。

For anyone who is doing research on the history of crucial turnover period of the late civil war to early 1950s in China, then this is an important city study that provides a lot of rich local detail and findings based on a variety of great archives. It also is a great example of a turnover which involves CCP cadres from Shandong, mostly rural Luzhongnan, in a mid-sized city.

There is not too much new here, and the arguments advanced are neither terribly original or the writing inspiring. There is an emphasis in the introduction of the book on political ritual and transformation of political culture, but the book seems to stray considerably from this and resemble much more closely a description of Hangzhou's experience of some of the important events that most books on China during the period address: the disciplined nature of troops when taking over the city, the gradual squeeze, the suppression of counterrevolutionaries, the three antis, the five antis, and the new three antis, with a chapter on cultural reforms and women cadres thrown in which both feel a bit detached.

It was, however, all interesting material and looks solid in terms of content and research.

五顆星，讀完何其亮老師那本《人民的西湖》之後便來讀高崢老師這本《接管杭州》。整本書介紹了從山東南下的幹部是如何面對杭州這個富饒堂皇的「花花世界」。這個天性質樸、但也因不熟悉城市生活被杭州民眾嘲笑為「土包子」的群體，一開始下定決心徹底改造杭州這個「腐朽至極」的「資產階級」城市，卻遭當地華麗的物質條件腐蝕，最終選擇順應這股大潮流。值得一提的是，南下幹部愛喝杭州茶葉的行為並未遭到「反資產階級生活方式」運動的波及，原因是某教員和周熱愛杭州茶葉，視杭州茶葉為「勞動階級熱愛勞動而擔下的果實」。第九章結論篇對「機會主義」理論的闡述相當好，「經是好的，但歪嘴和尚唸歪了」，這也是當今許多國人主動為某群體開脫的常用理由。總得來說，書中後面介紹的大多數運動都已有所耳聞，遺憾的是缺少對當地運動的更多分析，有點可惜。

As an early pioneer in PRC urban history, this book surprisingly ignores the fact that the communist party governed the city as a "vanguard party", not just a "peasant-populist party."
