Dushu (Chinese: 读书; pinyin: Dúshū, Reading in Chinese) is a monthly Chinese literary magazine which has great influence on Chinese intellectuals.[1] It is based in Beijing.

History

The journal was first published in April 1979 with its lead article entitled "No Forbidden Zone in Reading." The first editor came from the

post-colonial theories such as Orientalism. Circulation rose from 50,000 to 80,000 in the first five or six years.[2] However, during these early years until as late as 1988, there was much secrecy around who edited Dushu aside from it being established by a number of "publishers."[3]

In 1996,

Chinese liberals, the Chinese New Left,[4] and generally anti-neoliberal views.[5] In 2007, the CCP propaganda department ordered the publisher to dismiss Wang and Huang, a decision that weakened the New Left in China.[5]
