During the late Qing Dynasty and early Republican period, central and local governments, as well as various social classes, paid significant attention to rural construction in China. This initiative marked a major transformation of rural society, with many intellectuals regarding it as a crucial step in China's modernization. During this period, Shanxi warlord Yan Xishan personally oversaw rural construction to consolidate his rule. He clearly defined the objectives, plans, and measures for rural development in Shanxi and ensured their implementation, making Shanxi a model for local autonomy and rural construction in the early Republic of China. Studying Yan Xishan's rural construction ideology and practices not only provides insights into the historical process of China's modernization but also offers valuable reflections for contemporary socialist new rural construction.
American author Katherine Anne Porter’s novelette Pale Horse, Pale Rider takes the First World War and the Great Pandemic of 1918 as the background. Through some modernist techniques such as stream of consciousness and non-linear narrative, the story focuses on the chaotic and broken feelings of the heroine Miranda during her illness. The illness experience offers an opportunity for Miranda to think about life. In this case, Miranda’s existential crisis, haunting and difficult to solve, is revealed through the psychological description during her illness and the implication of the modernist narrative techniques. In addition, descriptions of people’s lives during the war exposes great oppression of the war on people, suggesting social cause of Miranda’s existential crisis. Through analysis of the plague writing and the social situation in the text, this essay will conclude that modernist plague writing is a manifestation of the existential crisis, and the plague has symbolic meaning in the text, implying the existential crisis of Americans under the influence of the First World War.
This study aims to construct an image model of positive aging through short videos of musical performances by older adults. Based on the rooted theory approach, the study used the audience comments on the Jieyin platform as the data source. After three coding sessions, six core dimensions of the image of positive aging were finally distilled: musical talent, cultural heritage, vigorous vitality, spiritual fulfillment, social capital, and social and family support. Research has shown that musical talent is the basis for the functioning of the other dimensions, cultural heritage reflects the important role of older people in the continuation of social values, vigorous vitality is the presentation of the positive external image of older people, spiritual fulfillment represents the pursuit of the inner spiritual world and the experience of happiness, and social and family support enhances the psychological security and emotional belonging of older people participating in musical activities. The six dimensions support each other, and they build a positive aging image of the elderly. This study enriches the application of rootedness theory in the field of aging research, reveals the important role of music in promoting the mental health, social integration, and cultural inheritance of the elderly, and provides theoretical references and lessons for research and development related to active aging.
Satisfaction is an essential element of organizational success especially in public institutions where achievement is tied to public services provided, not just economic benefit. We study how employee satisfaction affects company performance and how policy design can encourage or discourage it. Using mixed methods, both quantitative surveys and qualitative case studies, this study surveys a broad set of public agencies to discover the main satisfaction drivers. It found that open compensation, opportunities for professional development, and positive work culture all help to enhance employee engagement and efficiency. The City of Melbourne, the UK’s National Health Service (NHS) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) further illustrate the effects of participatory policymaking, flexible working and customised capacity-building programmes on employee satisfaction, productivity and public trust. The research highlights the importance of a well-designed policy to connecting employee expectations with organisational priorities, and ultimately contributing to personal wellbeing and institutional performance.
