415 How a Strongman Shaped a Wartime City: Yang Sen and His "New Guizhou" Construction
-Introduction- Urban history scholar Meng Hao, after studying old-fashioned public bathhouses in Shanghai, delved into the urban history of his hometown, Guiyang. In addition to studying how Yang Sen, a powerful figure in southwestern China during the late Anti-Japanese War, built "New Guizhou," he also focused on national sports and public life in Guiyang. When a warlord with a Gēlahui background governed the city, how did Yang Sen "military train" all the citizens of Guiyang? Tracing the origins of Guizhou's "Village Super League," how did the construction of the rear area during the Anti-Japanese War give rise to a wave of sports enthusiasm? Holding a "travel guide," what ways could travelers reach Guiyang during the Anti-Japanese War?
