Classic Danwei posts
+ Gnawing at language, biting the ankles of Chinese media (2006.05): A look at the Chinese magazine 'Correct Language' (咬文嚼字 - 'Yaowen Jiaozi') and language pedantry.
+ People: Nicholas Bonner and his North Korean films (2005.03): Nick Bonner is one of Beijing's most eccentric residents, in all the right ways. He is a painter, cartoonist, landscape artist and filmmaker who has been living in the capital for more than fifteen years.
+ Ben Marcom Wednesday: Grannie Wang and the IT industry (2004.06): There's a Chinese saying 'Grannie Wang boasts about her melons in order to sell them' (王婆买瓜,自卖自夸). In other words, she blows her own trumpet, so you can't really believe her when she says the melons are tasty. So what does Grannie Wang do? Well, she can hire a 'tuor' ( 托儿) and a 'muliao' (幕僚). A tuor is a kind of tout employed to say good things about a company or product to entice customers; muliao is an old Chinese word meaning an advisor to a high official or general.
