 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.

前无古人，后无来者。他使一个时代产生，并且把它推向巅峰。随着他的离去结束了这个时代。
迈克尔.杰克逊，现代音乐史中的奇葩！

too bad this legend never performed in mainland china. there will not be another person in our life time that carries such a weight as much as MJ. he missed china, and china missed him... ...
Great job, Jeremy!

Who cares. Singer dies, get over it.
RIP: Michael Jackson. A poor, sad, lonely man, of immense talent.
On an entirley separate note, has any one noticed CD has been carrying ads for the Church Of Scientology. (Trade mark acknowledged!) How on earth does that sit with the laws and regulations of China? I thought dangerous cults were a big no, no in China.
your great name never disappears in the world. even the world will be vanished,
my Mj, you has said goodbye us peacefully, but we will miss you, remember you by heart.
