103603Zürich Paranoia City 1990. 4° 65 S. zahlr. Abb. Brosch. Tadellos. Am 22. April 1989 besetzten zehntausende Studierende im Zuge der offiziellen Trauerfeier den Tiananmen-Platz „Platz des himmlischen Friedens“. Sie protestierten gegen das Regime und forderten mehr Demokratie und Rechtsstaatlichkeit.Die Proteste weiteten sich aus – auch auf andere Städte. Mitte Mai demonstrierten mehr als 1 Mio. Menschen auf dem Platz. Die Regierung geriet unter Zugzwang und rief am 20.5. das Kriegsrecht aus.In der Nacht auf den 4.6. rückte das Militär – die Volksbefreiungsarmee – mit Panzern gegen die Demonstrierenden vor und eröffnete das Feuer.Eine genaue Rekonstruktion der Ereignisse ist schwierig. Amnesty International geht von bis zu 3.000 Opfern aus die chinesische Regierung spricht von etwa 300 Toten.Bis heute wird das öffentliche Gedenken an das Massaker unterbunden. Proteste auf dem Platz des himmlischen Friedens und Meldungen über das Massaker werden verhindert.Trotz Einschüchterung setzen sich u.a. die „Tiananmen-Mütter“ weiter für eine Aufarbeitung ein. 010 Zürich, Paranoia City, 1990 unknown

1900174874Xi'an China: c.1900. China's "Christian Rosetta Stone" A rubbing of the most famous document of Chinese Christianity. When rediscovered the Nestorian Stele transformed understanding of the cross-cultural history of Tang dynasty China. "The discovery of this monument is what made Westerners aware of the presence of Christianity in China prior to the mission of the Franciscans in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries and those of the Jesuits" Nicolini-Zani p. 117. The Nestorian stele was carved in 781 and stands at almost three metres tall. The Chinese inscription in the calligraphy of a local official Lu Xiuyan describes how Christians arrived at the Tang capital of Xi'an in 635 and with official permission founded churches. The stele also introduces in Chinese and Syriac some of the community's senior clergy and the present state of the Nestorian church. "Erecting a stone monument to describe commend and propagate its teachings was no small undertaking for the Tang Christian community. Putting up stone monuments was an expensive exercise because of the price of the stone and the fee of the expert artisan who engraved the text. The monument itself makes an important statement about the place of Christianity within Tang society" Nicolini-Zani pp. 120-1. In 845 Christianity was banned by Emperor Wuzong and the stele was buried. Rediscovered by Chinese antiquarians around 1625 it brought to light a lost dimension to China's history and translations soon appeared in Jesuit sinological writings including Kircher's China Monumentis 1667 which includes the first printed reproduction of the text. The stone now stands at the Beilin Museum in Xi'an and is listed among the small number of protected antiquities that will never be exhibited abroad. Rubbings from the original are no longer permitted. Provenance: the theologian and sociologist Y. Y. Tsu 1886-1986 also known as Chu Yu-Yu. Born in Shanghai Tsu studied at St John's College Shanghai and at Columbia where he was one of the first Chinese students of sociology to study abroad. In 1912 he became Professor of Sociology at St John's and later served as religious director of the Peking Union Medical College. "In 1940 he was consecrated an Episcopal bishop in Shanghai and was named Assistant Bishop of Hong Kong and Bishop of Kunming where he began his Burma Road work. Bishop Tsu was known. as the 'Bishop of the Burma Road' because of his efforts to befriend Allied troops traveling the international highway that ran through his district" obituary in New York Times. In 1931 Tsu held a visiting lectureship at the Pacific School of Religion in Berkeley California. This rubbing was gifted to the institution by Tsu and displayed there during the 1930s. It is regularly mentioned as a point of interest in contemporary tourist guides to the state. Rubbing from stone on multiple paper sheets arranged soon after execution to form 120 x 320 mm curved headpiece 100 x 588 mm title and 1825 x 870 text body mounted on four long pieces of paper joined to form area of 2338 x 958 mm edges of mount reinforced with old decorative white paper. Rubbing generally sharp and legible a few surface blemishes sectional joins expertly reinforced in places on verso: a very good example of an imposing piece.
