It has been previously noted that in Shanghai in the 1940s the magazine Wanxiang was active in publishing detective fiction, and that several magazines devoted to detective stories were published in the immediate postwar period, but there has been no detailed research on this subject. This paper provides an overview of detective fiction in the 1940s, with an analysis of its readership and reception. Wanxiang was a magazine popular in Shanghai during the last days of its so-called "solitary island" period (when the autonomous foreign concessions were besieged by Japanese forces), publishing translations of stories by Ellery Queen and other foreign writers along with original works by Chinese. The editors were attentive to both the entertainment and educational value of the detective genre, and aimed at providing "spiritual sustenance" (jingshen shiliang) to an increasingly culturally deprived Shanghai. Between the end of the war and 1949 four magazines of detective fiction were founded and eventually ceased publication — Dazhentan, Shinzhentan, Lanpishu, and Hongpishu — which also praised the detective story as "spiritual sustenance" for young readers. They ran a large volume of translated material by the Western stars of the genre such as Ellery Queen, John Dickson Carr, and Agatha Christie, as well as lesser-known crime fiction probably sourced from Western pulp magazines. Original work included a non-fiction serial that had the full cooperation of the Shanghai Municipal Police Department and was immensely popular. Initially translations of foreign writers dominated, but gradually the number of original works of detective fiction in Chinese grew in number, and budding young writers emerged. All of this was precious entertainment for the readers. Letters to the editors of the magazines welcome the detective stories as "spiritual sustenance," indicating that readers were also aware of the possibilities of the genre to instruct as well as entertain.

Wanxiang (万象) was a magazine published from 1941 to 1945 in the enemy-occupied area in Shanghai. For the first two years it was edited by Chen Dieyi (陈蝶衣), and for the last two years it was edited by Ke Ling (柯灵). At that time this magazine was very famous and had a lot of readers, but in the history of Chinese literature few researches have been made about it because it has been always considered as a magazine belonging to the "mandarin ducks and butterflies" genre (鸳鸯蝴蝶派). Recently, some researchers in Chinese literature have been influenced by "media research" studies, and have begun to research into Wanxiang. But these researches were done almost only from editor perspective, not very often from the readers perspective. This paper aims to study Wanxiang from the perspective of the readers: what kind of people used to read this magazine and why. I chose to focus on the part of magazine which was edited by Chen Dieyi from 1941.7 to 1943.6, because the part which was edited by Ke Ling was totally different, and it would be better to be studied separately. I studied in particular three sections of Wanxiang dedicated to its readers. The numbers of Wanxiang which were published from 1941.7 to 1943.6 had three section for its readers, the "editor's room" (编辑室) which was the editor's postscript, the "mail box" of Wanxiang (万象信箱) which was a readers' contributions column and the "short novels written by students" section (学生文艺选). In the "editor's room" (编辑室), the editor Chen Dieyi maintained a direct communication with the readers, asking their advice on what to publish or suggesting them new writers works. This shows how important were readers for Wanxiang. In the "mail box" of Wanxiang (万象信箱), the readers could write their requests and suggestions. Many of them were about what they wanted to read or suggestions on how to better edit the magazine. But there were also readers who would write about their lives, their problem of marriage, work, money, etc… This kind of readers, as we can guess from what they wrote, were very young readers about 20‒30 years old and they had another thing in common, they were usually very poor. In the "short novels written by students" section (学生文艺选), we can see a lot of students (high school and university) contributions. Through the study of these three sections we can conclude that for the editors of Wanxiang readers were really important and we can also understand that a consistent part of its readers were very young (including high school and university students) and having tough lives. I would like to continue to study other magazines of the same period for better understanding who were their readers, the way they used to read/enjoy these magazines, why they would read these magazine and the relationship between readers and published novels.

Huo Sang (霍桑)， the most famous detective character in modern times China, is a character of Cheng Xiaoqing (程小青)'s novels during a period which extends from the 1910's to the 1940's. In the 1920's Huo Sang was called the Oriental Holms (東方福爾摩斯)， and scholars recognized him as a copy of Sherlock Holmes. Huo Sang was the symbol of modern times, he had a western knowledge and he criticized the Chinese society of those times. However the character of Huo Sang in the 1940's was very different from the same character in the 1920's. This paper aims to discuss what this difference is. In the 1940's Cheng Xiaoqing re-wrote his novels of Huo Sang, By comparing the new version with the original version, we can see how Huo Sang of the 1940's became a strong advocate of the reform of the justice system in China.

At the end of the Qing period, there was a boom in the translation of mystery novels; however, the writing of mystery novels by Chinese authors did not become popular until the 1920s. Beginning in the late 1910s, mystery-writing contests were announced in the newspaper readers' columns, and many of the submissions resemble the earlier translated works all being set in overseas locations. At the same time, Chinesenewspapers were overfl owing with reader submissions, known as "black curtain" articles, that disclosed the darker side of society, that were extremely popular. With the appearance of mystery novels, it was believed that imagination was necessary for the appreciation of the newspaper article as a form of entertainment. In the 1910s, however, the writing of mysteries and "black curtain" articles had yet to fuse, but in analyzing the works of the 1920s, it is possible to discern that they were written based on the imagination used for the "black curtain" articles. From this point, "black curtain" article and mysteries fuse, and mystery novels that problematise China begin to be produced.

From the Sino-Japanese perspective, the mystery novel is an import, and something that arrived from the West. In both countries, with translation, the mystery novel became extremely popular, and in the 1920s, attempts were made at creating indigenous mysteries. Periodicals devoted to mysteries began to be published: in China, Zhentan shijie 偵探世界, Banyue 半月, and Ziluolan 紫羅蘭, and in Japan, Shinseinen 新青年. This paper explores the reception phases of the mystery novel through an examination of the readers' submissions published in these various magazines. In comparing the creative conditions of the two countries, Japan succeeded in developing younger writers through literary awards, while in China, the authors never succeeded in mastering the structure of the mystery novel, and were troubled with the production of this new literary genre. The authors who never conquered the "modern novel" become distinct.
