AbstractThrows light on cases of abduction in republican China, using the letters and reports of the Anti-Kidnapping Society (AKS), founded in Shanghai in 1912, as its main source. According to AKS investigations, about one-fifth of kidnap victims had been deceived and sold by acquaintances, such as family members, relatives, neighbors, and fellow workers. However, abduction was the result of the arbitrary exchange of female and child labor rather than a product of the fixed status system of the traditional family and society. The article also reconsiders the public character, or gong, of charity and explores how the AKS selected the beneficiaries of relief actions. For example, it rejected "bad" women who swindled philanthropists by pretending to be victims, while tolerating the sale of children by family superiors. Moreover, it investigated women who had been involved in affairs or had run off with a man. In other words, this kind of charity was a paternalistic work with the intention of protecting decent families, or baoliang. Furthermore, the AKS never established clear criteria for the selection of beneficiaries but depended on the ethical judgment of each employee. Abstracter: J Language: Japanese Period: 1910's-30's.
