Danwei Picks is a daily digest of the "From the Web" links found on the Danwei homepage. A feed for the links as they are posted throughout the day is available at Feedsky (in China) or Feedburner (outside China). Past catches up to former red guard leader: Xujun Eberlein at New America Media describes what Sun Binbin, aka Sun Yaowu, is doing today: A month before the 114th birthday of Chairman Mao Zedong on December 26, a long forgotten photo of Mao with a young girl resurfaced on the Chinese Internet.

At roughly 3:20 PM, Christmas Eve, I left my apartment at GaoAn Road apartment to go to the post office. But, as I completed the first of seven flights of stairs to the lobby and entrance of my building, I realized that I had forgotten the envelope that I needed to mail. So I backtracked, grabbed the envelope, and began descending, again when, suddenly, just above the fourth floor (I think), I heard a tremendous crash come through the walls of the stairwell. It sounded metallic and fierce, as if scaffolding had fallen.
China National Petroleum Corp (CNPC), the nation's largest oil producer, plans to build two refineries in Shandong and Yunnan to boost its capacity. Weihai has a port; Kunming is in the early stages of becoming the hub of China's land link with Southeast Asia, Burma and India.
Following the development of the film/television industry in mainland China, more and more scriptwriters came along. Scriptwriting became an extremely cheap form of labor. Shi Kong also saw that no matter how well he wrote the script and how well the drama series was received, he never got anything more from it. By this time, Shi Kong's fame came from his novels, and the book revenues became his principal source of income.
