The most expensive land in GuangdongPosted by Banyue, September 12, 2007 4:21 PM
The top headline and front page picture on today's Southern Metropolis Daily concern a land auction held in Guangzhou yesterday. The auction, called a "Land Banquet," sold 13 plots of land for a total of 9.51 billion yuan (US$1.26 billion).
R&F Properties (富力地产) bought one plot of land on Yuxiang Road in Baiyun District for 180 million yuan, or 18,729 yuan per square meter. This price breaks the previous record, 15,243 yuan per square meter in Dongguan, leading to the headline, "New real estate king born at the foot of Baiyun Mountain." The upper left headline concerns a slump in the Chinese stock market. The Shanghai index fell 241.32, from 5395.04 to 5116.90. Analysts said that the immediate cause was the announcement of an 11-year high in the Consumer Price Index; August's CPI jumped to 6.5 percent. The bottom left headline is about a stabbing that occurred at an adult training school yesterday. The suspect slashed six of his classmates with fruit knife; police suspect that he has a mental illness.

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.

+ Lost in Beijing finally gets killed (2008.01): SARFT (广电总局) brings down the hammer on Lost in Beijing (苹果), one year after its offense. + People: Tina Liu (2004.09): Tina Liu is Hong Kong's most prominent image stylist, but her mercurial career has involved her in almost every aspect of Hong Kong's media world. + Asimov Published, Interviewed in Beijing (2005.03): Cover story from this week's Book Review section of The Beijing News announces the publication of a Chinese translation of Isaac Asimov's complete Foundation series. Yup, the Beijing News has scored a fictional interview with "I, Asimov". They've been taking similar liberties recently in their entertainment sections, captioning photographs of celebrities with made-up quotes.
