Classic Danwei posts
+ Korean history doesn't fly on Chinese TV screens (2007.09): SARFT puts the kibbosh on Korean historical dramas. + Religion and government in an uneasy mix (2008.03): Phoenix Weekly (凤凰周刊) article from October, 2007, on government influence on religious practice in Tibet. + David Moser on Mao impersonators (2004.10): I first became aware of this phenomenon in 1992 when I turned on a Beijing TV variety show and was jolted by the sight of "Mao Zedong" and "Zhou Enlai" playing a game of ping pong. They both gave short, rousing speeches, and then were reverently interviewed by the emcee, who thanked them profusely for taking time off from their governmental duties to appear on the show.

Together with migrants?.
Comments on Danwei TV Hard Hat Show:
Together with migrants?
comment board isn't remembering my personal info.
Another good program! Do you think that guy at the end was serious about the building being built just for foreigners? Does he mean for foreigners to live in or just to make China look good in our foreign eyes?
Migrant workers are everywhere in Beijing and Shanghai, but my feeling is that Shanghai (or its government) has a better control over those people and, in this regard, the city image presented in front of the world is better than Beijing.
Nice work. Thanks.
Excellent show. Here in Hebei though, they try to keep the bricks away from the workers....
Another good one. How about one on ayis?
Much food for thought. Workers depending on an art performance to learn about their rights. Something smells fishy!
Keep up the good work!!!
Great show, very interesting, and nice to see Han Bing.
There is a sense - not inaccurate - that contemporary Chinese art (as well as many other cultural genres) is mostly "made for export" and targeted at foreign sensibilities. It's great to see an art event connecting with the local community, and I hope we'll see more such activities.
where can I find an archive/link with all the Hard Hat Shows?
