Skinhua returnsPosted by Jeremy Goldkorn, March 25, 2008 12:16 PM
 Better than riots In 2005 and 2006, Web editors at Xinhua and the China Daily, probably unbeknownst to their bosses, uploaded many photographs of scantily clad women to the sports, fashion and photo gallery sections of their websites. Danwei followed this trend for some time, coining the word 'Skinhua' to describe the phenomenon: see for example, Pamela Anderson kissed excitedly by homosexual pop star, Skinhua goes nuts, Skinhua overdrive, and Sinner Daily gaining on Skinhua?. Since mid 2006, a series of anti pornography and 'civilized Internet' (文明办网) campaigns seem to have slowed down the Web editors enthusiasm for scanned Playboy and FHM covers and lingerie shows. But perhaps the even less welcome images in the news in the last two weeks have made the Xinhua Web editors revisit their old habits: the image reproduced here is from a Xinhua photo gallery uploaded on Sunday, titled Lingerie show in ski resort, filed under 'Entertainment'.

 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
+ 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. + Mo Luo: Turning enemies into people (2009.06): Mo Luo, an essayist and poet, writes about dehumanizing the enemy. + Skirting the law in China's private enterprise reform (2006.05): An essay by Wu Xiaobo (吴晓波), 'Reform Begins with Transgression' (改革从违法开始), about how early Chinese private enterprise dealt with a vague legal framework.

Comments on Skinhua returns
What kind of editors? Those two qwerty keys aren't even close. Thanks for letting us know what's on your mind. After all, it's about time you got hitched....
Poor bastards have to do something to boost readership. I mean, it's not like anyone thinks Xinhua is actually in the business of NEWS...
Dr Freud:
Typo corrected.
Your analysis notwithstanding, those two qwerty keys are in a direct line for someone who types with two fingers.
Sadly...I used to be employed by this purveyor of great conservative values. Hey, a boy has to eat.
