“In 1920, the five provinces of Zhili, Shandong, Henan, Shanxi, and Shenxi (those affected by the terrible famine of 1876-1878) suffered severe drought.[…] In the summer of 1921, a militant nationalist from the province, Yu You-ren, launched a movement for the independence of Shenxi, supported by a “Citizens’ Assembly.” For the Guomindang, the operation had strategic as well as political interest. Shenxi, where Sun Yat-sen had looked for support in 1911 and again in 1916, offered the Canton dissidents a possible base for diversionary operations in the North, as well as for taking their enemy in the rear.”

“Jing and Luo do not discuss what part the landlords themselves actually played in the running of the farm; it presumably varied according to the number and extent of their other businesses, but, in general, they appear to have acted through their foremen rather than directly supervising or dealing with the other laborers.
