 Tales of Old Hong Kong: The new Tales of Old Hong Kong compiled by Derek Sandhaus is available at Earnshaw Books.
Diamond Hill by Feng Chi-shun: Feng's memoir Diamond Hill describes an era of gambling and gangsters, Suzie Wong and squatter villages, fires and food stalls, and the Kowloon Walled City and its white powder. "A time when people were poor, but life was rich," he says. The world that he grew up in no longer exists, but his book - the first ever on the Diamond Hill refugee settlement, in either Chinese or English - offers a candid picture of what life was like for most Hong Kong residents in the 1950s.
William A. Callahan's China: The Pessoptimist Nation: China: The Pessoptimist Nation shows how the heart of Chinese foreign policy is not a security dilemma, but an identity dilemma. Through a careful analysis of how Chinese people understand their new place in the world, the book charts how Chinese identity emerges through the interplay of positive and negative feelings in a dynamic that intertwines China's domestic and international politics.

+ People: Chen Daming, director (2004.06): Chen's own life story could be rich material for a feature film. After being rusticated from the Henan Opera School, he was forced to move away from Kaifeng to look for work. The Film Academy is the most prestigious film school in China, counting the directors Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige among its alumni, and competition for place to study there is fierce. Chen Daming came to Beijing for an audition, and was accepted after three auditions. + Mo Luo: Turning enemies into people (2009.06): Mo Luo, an essayist and poet, writes about dehumanizing the enemy. + Skirting the law in China's private enterprise reform (2006.05): An essay by Wu Xiaobo (吴晓波), 'Reform Begins with Transgression' (改革从违法开始), about how early Chinese private enterprise dealt with a vague legal framework.

Comments on 100,000 yuan fine for uploading Olympic videos?
Translation is not accurate:
"Individual will face 100,000 yuan fine"
should be
Individual will face up to 100,000 yuan fine
So it is the same as MPAA's strategy in the states. Since that didn't do crap in the states. I doubt it will do much in China

What the H-E-double hockey sticks are you talking about?
There is no connection between the MPAA and this fine. MPAA deals with ratings. This article talks about re-broadcasting rights and copyright infringement. Please before you turn on your computer turn on your brain. The MPAA is also very very effective and extremely powerful. Yes, it sucks in that upon investigation the MPAA just rates as they choose and the public can't know the raters identities but there is still a choice (although not an economically-wise one) for directors to choose not to submit their films to the ratings system.
