I hotly love you Beijing TiananmenPosted by Eric Mu, September 17, 2004 7:56 PM
 Tian'anmen Square featured in almost all of Beijing's newspapers today, for two main reasons: - The 50th anniversary of the founding of the National People's Congress (NPC) - The upcoming 55th National Day celebration  Most newspapers used an image of Tian'anmen rostrum on their front pages. But the views are slightly different: The People's Daily front page (up left) tries to show you a brand new Tian' anmen rostrum after renovation. The image from The Beijing News and Beijing Youth Daily (bottom left) gives you a combined view of Tian'anmen rostrum and a replica sculpture of the launching tower of Shenzhou No. 5. |

 Tales of Old Hong Kong: The new Tales of Old Hong Kong compiled by Derek Sandhaus is available at Earnshaw Books.
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.
