Theft, brawling and new military uniformPosted by Eric Mu, November 30, 2004 2:32 PM
Besides important economic and political news such as Japan wanting to stop aid to China, the words in the headline of this post are the most popular topics in Beijing's media today. According to Beijing Daily Messenger , a thief with a pistol was arrested only 20 minutes after he robbed a company near Beijing's famous Wangfujing shopping street. The thief had been an employee of the company; he stole RMB 18,501. (The pictured front page shows the arrested thief.) Airlines in China have been a source of much bad news lately. Just this month, two boys climbed onto a plane in Kunming airport; one fell off as the plane was taking off and died. The other survived a one hour flight hanging on to some part of the undercarriage. The airliner crash in Baotou killed 55. As a result, there have been many news items about planes discovering technical problems and returning to airports immediately after take-off. Other hot non-violent news is the new Chinese People's Liberation Army's winter uniform. Finally we say goodbye with the old uniform which has been around for 30 years. The picture below shows the new uniform: (army on the left, air force on the right).

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.
