On the Contribution of Peasants to Construction of New China for 60 Years KONG Xiang-zhi, HE An-hua 2009, (9):  5-13.  DOI: Abstract ( )   PDF (2313KB) ( )   Since the founding of new China 60 years ago,the Chinese peasants have made tremendous contribution to the industrialization and urbanization of the country.Their contribution is mainly manifested in the following ways: accumulating assets and lowering the cost for industrialization characterized as "high-price industrial commodity for low-price agricultural product",and supplying sufficient and cheap labor and farmland to meet the needs for development of industry.A rough estimation reveals that the assets the Chinese peasants have accumulated for the country in these ways alone can amount to at least 17.3 thousand billion Yuan.In return,the country should establish a long-term mechanism in line with the principle of "offering more,taking less,being flexible" in order to realize the policies of promoting agriculture through industry and improving the rural area through efforts of the urban area.

Postmodernist Image of Marx YU Nai-zhong 2009, (9):  45-50.  DOI: Abstract ( )   PDF (1435KB) ( )   As a discourse for the crisis of capitalism and the crisis of aesthetics in the west,postmodernism has become the spirit of the time.The modern thought represented by the enlightenment and rationalism has become oblivious in history.Likewise,Marxism,the theory of the proletarian revolution and communism,will be fiercely attacked by representatives of postmodernism too,as it is also the product of rationalism.However,while postmodernist theorists defame Marx,they are not able to escape the influence of Marx.

The Trap of Text Pragmatism:A Critique of Textual Analysis of Analytical Marxism CAO Yu-tao 2009, (9):  51-55.  DOI: Abstract ( )   PDF (1292KB) ( )   Analytical Marxism employs analytical philosophy to study texts of Marxism,striving to achieve clear narration and sound logic in order to restructure Marxist theories.However,as they deny dialectics,they focus only on analysis and neglect integration,and thus view Marxist ideas in the light of dogmatism and pragmatism.Even rhetoric in the texts is ignored.As a consequence of this non-dialectic and non-historical textual interpretation,they are trapped by "text pragmatism".This is the fundamental reason why they should have misunderstood Marxism.It is also a lesson we should take when we study texts of Marxism.
