Since the Second Opium War, Shanghai was designated as a trading port, and because of its coastal location, the city became an isolated island. Its different from the backwardnessof China's semi-colonial and semi-feudal society. Shanghai's «capitalization» is more serious, and social culture is very special. It is a difficult point for a new regime to besupported in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China. This article examines the publicity screenings of the two documentaries in 1950, «The Victory of the Chinese People» (中国人民的胜利) and «The Liberated China» (解放了的中 国), and analyzes how the two Sino-Soviet documentaries have attracted widespread attention. How did the new regime deploy the film industry's work, talks about the direction of the «film maker» and the «imager» identification mechanism, from the expression of the phenomenon-level viewing to explore Shanghai people's political identity facing the new China.

AbstractThe Armenians arrived at Guangzhou (Canton) and Macao for trade, no later than the end of the 17th century. Their existence in the Pearl River Delta was noticed by westerners throughout the 18th century. However, due to several reasons, there is little evidence in Chinese sources showing that contemporary Chinese people were aware of such a small group in their homeland. Nevertheless, after a re-examination of existing Chinese records dated from 1751 to 1840, the author could find several pieces of evidence in support of the argument that the Chinese in mid-Qing period might have been informed about the Armenians, as well as the land of Armenia. The names by which the Chinese addressed these foreigners in that period might be of some interest for the research and interpretation of the Chinese texts as well.

Abstract
Attracting overseas scientists back to their home countries is an important scientific policy in the era of globalization. The returnee scientists not only have the potential to make high academic achievements by themselves but are also expected to influence other scientists. Using a data-set of 1,006 scientists from Chinese State Key Laboratories, this study finds that recruiting young returnee scientists has a positive effect on the number of their peer's highly-cited articles. It is also found that the peer effect is not achieved through the promotion of international collaborations of local scientists. It may be realized through other mechanisms, such as knowledge spillovers. As shown in the heterogeneity analysis, the adaptation of returnee scientists and the absorptive capacity of local scientists have an impact on the peer effects of the returnees, which reflects that knowledge dissemination and absorption play significant roles in the returnee's peer effect.
