• Dog lovers of Beijing organized a protest on Saturday against limits on dog ownership in the capital. The police broke up the protest. The Washington Post has a story about the dog protests, and ESWN has summed up some other media coverage. In other riot news, the New York Times reports that some 2,000 people mobbed a hospital after a child died of poisoning because the hospital wanted fees before treating him.

• The China Daily has published a story titled Lesbian hotline available. It's not what you think it is; excerpt:

After launching China's first free hotline for gay men, the Chiheng Foundation in Shanghai will offer a similar service later this month for lesbians.

The new hotline is aimed at both lesbians and women confused about their sexuality.

It begins operating on November 25...

...The hotline will be available between 2 pm to 4 pm every Saturday at 800-988-929, or 021-6380-4448 from mobile phones. "We will try to answer all legal, psychological and medical questions that confuse lesbians," Shen said.

Classic Danwei posts
+ A Joint Approach to History (2005.06): The joint Korean-Japanese-Chinese history textbook, 东亚三国的近现代史, published by Social Sciences Academic Press, is reviewed by Danwei.
+ People: Chen Daming, director (2004.06): Chen's own life story could be rich material for a feature film. After being rusticated from the Henan Opera School, he was forced to move away from Kaifeng to look for work. The Film Academy is the most prestigious film school in China, counting the directors Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige among its alumni, and competition for place to study there is fierce. Chen Daming came to Beijing for an audition, and was accepted after three auditions.
+ One Country, Two Versions (2005.02): CEPA eases co-productions between the mainland and Hong Kong, but does it undermine creativity?
