 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.

Classic Danwei posts
+ Lost in Beijing finally gets killed (2008.01): SARFT (广电总局) brings down the hammer on Lost in Beijing (苹果), one year after its offense. + People: Tina Liu (2004.09): Tina Liu is Hong Kong's most prominent image stylist, but her mercurial career has involved her in almost every aspect of Hong Kong's media world. + Asimov Published, Interviewed in Beijing (2005.03): Cover story from this week's Book Review section of The Beijing News announces the publication of a Chinese translation of Isaac Asimov's complete Foundation series. Yup, the Beijing News has scored a fictional interview with "I, Asimov". They've been taking similar liberties recently in their entertainment sections, captioning photographs of celebrities with made-up quotes.

Comments on Queer Tibet
very good~ i like danwei!
Is this because there aren't enough women in Tibet to mate with local men? Similar to men in prisons would turn "situational homosexual"?
What you mean?
Gay people are everywhere man.
It's the thing for some.
Why do you need "situational homosexual" in order for a particular region to have gay people?
I quite like the idea of the situationalist homosexual. could be the next movement for the Young Chinese Artists
That's the best way to drive the PAP/PLA out of Tibet, let loose legions of horny gay men upon them!
Nanheyangrouchuan: That's a great idea... Wanna lead?
I kid.
I want to scream free something now... but that' probably not appropriate here.
Jay: haha, that's a kneeslapper! I'll take on the women's brigade. Even ugly chicks need some lamb meat in their diet.
Of course, with the PLgay and PAPsmear boys being so unpopular with girls, they just might take on Tibetan rump rangers. Then we'd see what a real sword fight would look like.
That's too much man, too much...
"I quite like the idea of the situationalist homosexual. could be the next movement for the Young Chinese Artists" Mike...or the old horror flick re-make....in Tibet?
"I could show you my favourite obsession. I've been making a man with blond hair and a tan, and he's good for relieving my... ...tension....I'm just a sweet transvestite..from Transexual, Transylvania, ha ha, HEY, HEY!"
How can I find a nice Tibetian boyfriend here in Atlanta?
