Classic Danwei posts
+ New Years Past: Other Spring Festivals by Geremie R. Barmé (2007.02): Sang Ye interviews two people about their experiences during Great Leap Forward-era Spring Festivals. Translated and annotated by Geremie R. Barmé. + Trend-spotting in online fiction (2007.06): An interview with Daniel Dan Fei (丹飞), publisher of Notes on Graverobbing (盗墓笔记), Rear Palace (后宫), and Those Ming Dynasty Things (明朝那些事). + China's 50 Most Beautiful People (2005.03): The Beijing News borrows a picture of Maggie Cheung from Cosmo for the cover of today's Entertainment insert, "50 Most Beautiful People in China". Ms. Cheung takes the top spot, with Takeshi Kaneshiro, Little S, Zhang Ziyi, and Liu Ye rounding out the top five in this exercise that is a conscious imitation of People magazine's yearly rundown.

Comments on Working China
Manually Laboring China?
Hardly the rallying call to the class we commissioned, comrade. Any chance of something with more thousand yards stares into the brighter tomorrow and bits of red cloth flapping in the wind? Bonus points for Elvis on the soundtrack though.
劳动光荣，懒惰可耻！
@Jim: I hear you. One day, our comrades will appreciate the fact that someone recorded the things were.
All of the above was shot in some of China's most prosperous cities. Just wait till I get a chance to spend a few days in the country side.

China has made significant improvements that
surpassed everyones expectations.Could I complain?
Yes...China needs a thicker skin, when it comes to
criticism, to fit in with the West more effectively. The West also needs to understand that China has it's own cultural identity and accept China, as China...China chose to interact with the West on it's own accord and has evolved into a beautiful flower...Perhaps those of us that
complain, should look at our own gardens first,
before judging China? Good Luck China...Scotty
