Syllabus 2014
Health, Medicine and Society in Late Imperial and Modern China: Diseases in Chinese History: their significance and meanings.
Professor Angela Ki Che LEUNG(angela
leung@hku.hk)
Spring 2014
Classroom: MW 514
Time: 1:30
3:20 PM
Course description:
This lecture/seminar course explores the social and cultural meanings of disease in a
critical period in Chinese history, from the late imperial to the modern periods. It
studies the changing concepts of disease and the relevance of disease in Chinese
history. The course is in two main parts: it will look at, first, “old diseases” prevalent
in late imperial China and then emerging “new diseases” in the modern period. By
studying China’s changing categorization, explanations and management of diseases
and epidemics, we aim at reaching a new and deeper understanding of what defines
China’s modernity.
Course requirements:
The class meets once a week for lectures and discussions. There is no tutorial
arrangement. Students should attend all classes, actively participate in discussions,
and write a term paper at the end of the semester. Grading will be based on
attendance, participation and oral presentation (30%), a short (4
6 pages
double
spaced)reading report(20%) and a longer(1012 pages doublespaced) term
paper(50%).
The short reading report is on any one of the assigned reading under the five
“Discussion” sessions(see Course Schedule).
Students can write their term paper on any of the following topics:
Reports:
1. Using digitalized HK government documents
http://hkgro.lib.hku.hk/exhibits/show/hkgro/home
as primary sources to write a brief history of ONE major disease affecting 19th

and early 20th
century HK (malaria, cholera, smallpox, syphilis, tuberculosis,
leprosy, mental illness, or others), putting emphasis on how Chinese in HongKong reacted to public disease management.

2. For those who can read Chinese, use the medical case book by the modern
Chinese doctor Zhou Xiaonong
周小農 (18761942) ( 周小農醫案 University
electronic resource) working in Wuxi near Shanghai, to reconstruct the social
management of disease in this period (including one or several of the following
that can constitute a coherent paper: the prevalence of certain diseases, the
particular framing of diseases, gender, class and age differences in receiving
treatment, doctor
patient relation, social support of patients, and Dr Zhou’s
attitude towards Westernmedicine etc.)

3. Any other topic related to the theme of this course using primary sources.
Discuss with the instructor before April 10. The short reading report and the term paper should be submitted by 16 May 2014 10PM (University grade submission deadline 2013
2014 (Semester 2): 12 June 2014)
- Late work: All assignments are due by the specified date and time. Unless there is
a documented campus
wide power or internet outage, technological problems
will not excuse you from the deadline.No late submissions will be accepted.

- Plagiarism: If you copy other people’s work without proper acknowledgement,
you will fail this course. Plagiarism includes, but is not limited to:
