Washing her privates in public
Kelly Chen (陈慧琳), a Hong Kong actress and pop singer who went to high school in Japan, has since the beginning of last year been a celebrity spokeswoman for Toto, a brand of toilets and bathroom ware, as reported on Danwei in April 2005.

The ads are funny because they are promoting a rather Japanese type of toilet with a bidet function, using the slogan "Have you started washing already? She's started washing..."

There is a new series of the ads out, and some of them are on extremely prominent billboards, such as the one pictured here (click to enlarge) on Beijing's Third Ring Road.

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.
