中产阶级是个与现代企业相联系、受资本家雇佣、以服务和管理等脑力劳动获取薪金收入和地位的社会阶层。在近代上海向城市社会转型的进程中,不断扩大的中产阶层是一个日益工业化的城市社会的产物,他们主动接受了城市化及其带来的变革。1949年后,这一社会阶层迎来改造与重生。本文拟对建国初期上海中产阶级作一考察,论述他们在社会一体化进程中的命运与归宿。 The middle class is a social class that connects with modern businesses, is hired by capitalists and earns salary and status through mental work such as service and management. In the process of modern Shanghai’s transition to urban society, the expanding middle class is the product of an increasingly industrialized urban society that has taken the initiative to accept urbanization and the changes that it has brought about. After 1949, this social class ushered in the transformation and rebirth. This article intends to make an inspection of the Shanghai middle class in the early days of the founding of New China, discussing their fate and destiny in the process of social integration.
