Wild deers of BeijingPosted by Jeremy Goldkorn on Monday, July 7, 2008 at 9:31 AM
Yesterday in the mountains west of Beijing in Hebei Province, your correspondent stumbled into a wild deer: the Siberian Roe Deer (Capreolus pygargus). It looked very similar to the deer pictured left, which is a different species - the plain old Roe Deer (Capreolus capreolus) found in Europe. Images of the Siberian Roe Deer on the Internet mostly show red or reddish fur color, but the beast I saw was distinctly grey. According to online sources, the Siberian Roe Deer's winter coloring is grey, but it seems a little hot for that already. Searching for further images and information, I did a Google image search on the Chinese word for Roe Deer (狍子 paozi). One of the image results on the first page was this picture: ![]() Deer meat strips with celery Links and Sources

+ Korean history doesn't fly on Chinese TV screens (2007.09): SARFT puts the kibbosh on Korean historical dramas. + Religion and government in an uneasy mix (2008.03): Phoenix Weekly (凤凰周刊) article from October, 2007, on government influence on religious practice in Tibet. + 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.
