My greatest and ultimate gratitude first goes to Associate Professor Chen Hong, my supervisor for his constant encouragement and guidance.

My thanks also go to the Australia-China Council for offering me the fund to carry out my research in La Trobe University, Australia. I owe my gratitude to the professors and staff in the Faculty of Humanities at La Trobe University who offered me valuable help and support. My special thanks go to Dr. Antonia Finnane from the School of Historical Studies at the University of Melbourne for providing me with valuable materials and offering great advice.
