More about the book

The book explores the transformation of the alcohol and opium industries in Northeast China amidst warlord rule, Japanese occupation, and political turmoil. It examines the Chinese media's portrayal of intoxicants and societal perceptions of addiction, highlighting the impact of Japanese control on these narratives. Additionally, it discusses the anti-intoxicant movement aimed at reducing consumption. This work is notable for being the first comprehensive English-language study on alcohol use in modern China and the first to address intoxicant regulations in the region.
