Danwei TV 4: Super Girl FrenzyPosted by Jeremy Goldkorn, April 7, 2006 2:49 PM
 Attacked by frenzied Super Girls fans Danwei TV 4 is about the Super Girls TV show. Chao Nu, the abbreviation of Chao Ji Nu Sheng (超级女声) or Super Voice Girls, is the name of a televised singing competition similar to American Idol, produced and broadcast by Hunan Province Satellite Television Station. In 2005, the second year of the program, Super Girls became a runaway TV hit, captivating young women across the nation, making stars of the finalists and reaping windfall profits for Hunan TV. This video summarizes last year's show and includes interviews with frenzied fans of runner up Zhou Bichang. You can watch the video in different formats on Revver.com, Archive.org, or Youtube.com. Otherwise click through below the jump to watch it right here. Additional notes: This year Sougou Super Girls will join the competition for Chinese viewers alongside Hunan TV's Super Girl, CCTV's China Dream (梦想中国), and Shanghai Oriental Satellite TV's My Shape, My Show (我型我秀). All of these highly similar shows are starting this spring. More on Supergirls: Sexy Beijing is now on its own website: check the latest episodes at www.sexybeijing.tv |

 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.

Classic Danwei posts
+ Lost in Beijing finally gets killed (2008.01): SARFT (广电总局) brings down the hammer on Lost in Beijing (苹果), one year after its offense. + People: Tina Liu (2004.09): Tina Liu is Hong Kong's most prominent image stylist, but her mercurial career has involved her in almost every aspect of Hong Kong's media world. + Asimov Published, Interviewed in Beijing (2005.03): Cover story from this week's Book Review section of The Beijing News announces the publication of a Chinese translation of Isaac Asimov's complete Foundation series. Yup, the Beijing News has scored a fictional interview with "I, Asimov". They've been taking similar liberties recently in their entertainment sections, captioning photographs of celebrities with made-up quotes.

Jeremy, what about a spotlight on the helmet?
Good idea, when we film in the dark!
Just thought you might like to know that this episode of Danwei TV is being used in my final oral presentation tomorrow for Chinese, which I've decided to do all about the super girls. The links in the other posts were very helpful.
