Vogue magazine's Mainland China edition, which has been 'about to launch' for about two years, now seems set to actually publish its first issue in September this year, if industry gossip and media reports are to be believed.

According to a fashion column by Mônica Bergamo in the Brazilian magazine "Folha de S. Paulo", Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bündchen will soon be on her way to China for a photo shoot for the cover of Vogue China's launch issue.

Classic Danwei posts
+ Haruki Murakami in Chinese (2007.07): Lin Shaohua (林少华) talks about how his translations of the works of Haruki Murakami (村上春树) are received in China.
+ David Moser on Mao impersonators (2004.10): I first became aware of this phenomenon in 1992 when I turned on a Beijing TV variety show and was jolted by the sight of "Mao Zedong" and "Zhou Enlai" playing a game of ping pong. They both gave short, rousing speeches, and then were reverently interviewed by the emcee, who thanked them profusely for taking time off from their governmental duties to appear on the show.
+ Old fables retold: The Tortoise and the Hare (2006.12): The story of The Tortoise and the Hare (龟兔赛跑) told from a Chinese bureaucratic perspective.
