 The Beijing News January 8, 2008 A man was attacked by a giant panda at the Beijing Zoo, after he climbed into its enclosure despite the warning sign yesterday, today's The Beijing News reports. The man whose name is Zhang Xiao was trying to pick up his son's toy panda which had fallen inside the panda pen.

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.

Was he from Henan like the last guy? At least he didn't bite the panda back like my drunken coprovincial did.
This one is an Anhui ren.
should've tried some kungfu like the street kid hopped up on glue or whatnot did last time around
