Accidents on the front pagePosted by Banyue, December 7, 2007 4:00 PM
The front page photo in The Beijing News is of the aftermath of an accident that took place at the northeast corner of Changhong Bridge in Beijing's Chaoyang District at 2 pm yesterday. As bicycle riders were passing the corner, an electrical pole toppled to the ground without warning, killing one rider. Two other riders were seriously injured, including a girl from France. One headline on the left is about a gas explosion at a coal mine in Hongtong, Shanxi Province, which killed at least 70 people and trapped 26 on Wednesday. The mine owner did not report the accident for five hours, delaying the rescue operation. Efforts are still underway, but the article reports that eleven separate inspection stations have been set up to prevent journalist from reaching the scene of the accident. Other papers, such as Beijing Youth Daily, featured the Omaha, Nebraska, shooting on the front page; The Beijing News ran the story inside the paper. The lead headline announces that property developers must allow buyers to inspect their new homes without demanding that they pay first. The new regulations, from the Beijing Construction Management Committee, will go into effect on January 1, 2008. Other headlines:

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.
