global pandemic caused by the COVID-19 virus. Second, diseases are not在社会和**层面上具有特定的内涵. In this regard, Fang Xiaopeng’s new book provides a good example. The book, titled "China and the Cholera Pandemic," was released in April by the University of Pittsburgh Press and is the latest work by Fang Xiaopeng after his popular book "Barefoot Doctors and Western Medicine in China" (published by the University of Rochester Press in 2012). Fang Xiaopeng, a history professor at复旦大学历史学系, specializes in the history of medicine, health, and diseases in二十世纪中国, as well as the social and political history of China during the Maoist era.
Fang Xiaopeng believes that the spread of diseases is related to population mobility. Based on personal experience, he focuses on government and society's response to the threat posed by infectious diseases such as smallpox. He argues that the politicalization of disease control led to the use of terms like "battle," "journey," and "eradication" in official statements, which in turn fueled mass movements as the primary method for disease control during peacetime.
The book is highly praised by colleagues in the field of Chinese studies and epidemiological history. However, it has some weaknesses, including redundant historical details in some chapters and拖沓 language in others. Despite these minor issues, "China and the Cholera Pandemic" is an innovative and valuable contribution to the study of Chinese history and epidemic history.
