| Summary/Abstract |
One hundred years after the 1911 Revolution (Xinhai Revolution) in China, its meaning continues to be highly contested. Paradoxically, the more time that passes, the less certain either political actors or scholars seem to be about the significance of 1911 for the path of Chinese revolutionary history. This essay examines three phenomena: the appropriation of 1911 in contemporary political and popular culture; the use of 1911 as a metaphor for contemporary politics by PRC historians; and the changing meaning of 1911 over the past ten decades, particularly during the years of the war against Japan. The essay concludes that it is precisely the "unanchored" nature of 1911, separated from any one path of historical interpretation, that has kept its meaning simultaneously uncertain and potent.

| Summary/Abstract |
The article scans the history of Huangpu (Whampoa) Military Academy organized in 1924 with Soviet assistance and with the participation of Chinese communists. The author shows the significance of Huangpu Academy for the "symbolic policy" of the Kuomintang party (KMT) and the Communist Party of China, as well as the role of the Academy not only in the creation of the Kuomintang National Revolutionary Army and its military personnel training, but also in the formation of such vital institutions as organs of political education and propaganda, special services, and public organizations.
