Price in RMB for the “Pee Straight,” a device sold in Shenzhen after the city started to levy a 100 RMB fine on anyone caught 'missing their mark' in public toilets. Basically just a funnel and a tube, the device is meant to help people avoid paying the new fine for their sloppy aim. No word as of yet when it will be added to the Four Great Inventions list.

13-YEAR-OLD FLIGHT ATTENDANT WANNABE According to New Express Daily, a 13-year-old girl who dresses like a flight attendant and maintains that her ambitions lie in the sky has baffled her parents and local police by insisting on roaming around Guangzhou’s airport. The girl, Luo Siqi, has been lingering around the Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport in uniform with rollerboard in tow since July. Police twice in August escorted her to a Guangzhou children’s welfare centre, but she insists on returning to the airport.“I am truly in love with the sky. Let me go to the airport,” said Siqi.

WOMAN PULLED OVER FOR BREASTFEEDING ON MOPED A mother in China was pulled over by police after allegedly breastfeeding her baby while driving a moped through the streets of Yuzhou in Henan province. According to eyewitnesses, the child, was about 18-months 04

Projected percentage decrease in levels of large airborne particulate matter commonly known as PM 10 in cities nationwide by 2017. With other specific areas getting higher target goals of 15, 20 and even 25% less PM 10 in the air, this is the biggest sign yet that China is taking pollution seriously.

Maximum years rumour-mongers can now face in prison for spreading “slanderous rumours” or “false information,” according to a new interpretation of internet regulations. Mainly intended for online social media, the new interpretation is meant to hold people accountable for what they say on the internet so news events don't get exaggerated or blown out of proportion, rumour has it.

Ten Years of Calling Qingdao Home ,

// FEATURES /

MARCH 2007

After just six weeks, a lot of hard work, determination and help from the community (especially Cathy Ben-David), the REDSTAR team put together MAX 07.

LATE 2005

We are back in print – bigger and better. Buoyed with newfound confidence, later this year we launch REDSAIL, Qingdao's (actually China's!) first ever bilingual sailing magazine.

OCTOBER 2006

We decide Qingdao needs more live music and book London's PLAYMAKER to fly over and play at La Luna in March 2007.

PLAYMAKER are joined by locals Fancy World, Billkillers plus Tookoo and SKO from Beijing. The bands kick off the festival, playing to an audience of approximately 2,000 people and the whole building is filled with art and film exhibitions for the rest of the week.

The Beijing Film Institute participated along with the international schools, and pretty much anyone and everyone with an artistic bent in the city. Basically, a huge success.

REDSTAR's founder Ian Burns loses his right knuckle making his piece of art. What a twat.

F

rom its humble beginnings above La Villa to its current location high above Nanjing Lu at Creative 100, REDSTAR has come a long way in covering all the best in nightlife, dining and cultural events Qingdao (and Shandong) has to offer.

Proprietor Ian Burns, former editor Neil Bhullar and current editor Tomás Engle take you through all the highs and lows of the past decade. From music and art expos to surprise visits from local authorities, REDSTAR has been able to keep a stiff upper lip and take whatever has come at us. Come hell or high water, here are some of the highlights of our most creative ideas at work over the past 120 issues.

SEPTEMBER 2003

REDSTAR magazine is born! 32 pages, a handful of advertisers and a lot of happy readers - it's the first time people in the city of Qingdao have a magazine and city guide to help them get around.

FEBRUARY 2007

EARLY 2005

After the publication bureau pay us a “social visit” and kindly removes our computers, takes finger prints and tapes up the windows and doors. While the magazine is closed, we work on new business areas including orientation, graphic design and web development.

We drive past the still derelict Creative 100 space, and decide to wander inside the old textile factory. We think “wow, what a great place to have a concert!” and immediately put the wheels in motion to create Qingdao's first (and hopefully annual…) Music and Art eXpo or MAX event.

APRIL 2007

Following the huge success of MAX 07, the Creative 100 people invite REDSTAR to be the first tenants - inviting us to move in and design our own dream workspace. Although sad to leave our wonderful offices upstairs at La Villa, we say bon voyage to our kind friends Lao Zhang and Dodo, and move into room 401, Creative 100.

Formerly a textile factory, the conversion of manufacturing space to creative media offices marks the start of Qingdao's push to develop more innovative local companies of which REDSTAR is on the cusp. myredstar.com

APRIL 2009

Ever more ambitious, we decide to make MAX 09 into a three-day bonanza of music and a week of modular art installations except this year, we move the music out of Creative 100 and spread it around.

AUGUST 2008

The sailing events of the Beijing Summer Olympics take place in Qingdao, the zenith of months – nay, years – of preparation and investment in the city's infrastructure, and its business and social life.

MAY 2008

REDSTAR takes over the top floor of Creative 100 for the second year in a row - MAX 08 was bigger, badder and longer than the 2007 event, with nine bands playing two days of music on a single stage.

This time we got PB33, SKO, Recycled, Lonely China Day, Guai Li (pictured), the Dama Llamas and the Huangdao Dukes, while Arrows, Tookoo and Playmaker returned for the second year in a row.

Guangzhou prog-rockers Zhaoze light up an electrifying evening at La Villa, while punk acts Free The Birds and PB33 play rooftop gigs at now-defunct Beach 1 hangout The Beach House.

AUGUST 2009

This was the first time we collated our readers' opinions on Qingdao after dark, in the inaugural Bar & Nightlife Awards.

You guys cast your ballots with gusto, narrowly ranking Freeman ahead of LPG in the Best Newcomer category.

Thankfully both bars continue to duke it out to this day on Jiangxi Lu. This year also marks the last time we actually enjoyed the Tsingtao Beer Festival.

OCTOBER 2009

REDSTAR started out as a guide to help foreigners to find their feet on the oft-perplexing streets of Qingdao.

But by late 2009 it had become clear that the cultural events we were organising, music we were playing and the venues we were promoting were becoming more and more attractive to locals looking for more than just qingpi, shaokao and beaches, so... on the 60th anniversary of the People's Republic, REDSTAR put out its first bilingual issue.

Disaster strikes at the nine-band main event though when a disgruntled restaurant manager who didn't receive bribe money at Pichai Yuan on Zhongshan Lu turns the power off during the seventh band's sound check. REDSTAR is forced to move hundreds of musicians and fans to Club New York at very short notice – and are eternally grateful to the bar for this massive favour!

DECEMBER 2009

One of Canada's best up-andcoming indie bands Hollerado – a band championed by the White Stripes' Jack White, no less – play the REDSTAR office supported by the Dama Llamas in what was one of the best shows in Qingdao that year.

JULY 2008

JUNE 2008

We put out the first incarnation of REDSTAR Guides, a handy pocket directory containing only the best of dining, drinking and dalliance in the city that is somewhere between a pack of playing cards and the Monopoly board game.

08

myredstar.com

The first live music show is hosted at the REDSTAR office. Six-piece heavy metal band Oxygen can play an acoustic set on a brand new but hopelessly inadequate Yamaha sound system, but from the reaction of the crowd our suspicions are confirmed: there is a hunger for original live music in Qingdao. This show sets a precedent, and from here on we endeavour to bring at least one original live act to Qingdao every month.

SEPTEMBER 2009

REDSTAR opens Mymai, an outlet for selling souvenirs, t-shirts, musical instruments and other random paraphernalia. The store opens with a fashion show from Beijing's own Plastered T-shirts.

JANUARY 2010

REDSTAR brings the international improvisational comedy spectacle Whose Line Is It Anyway? to Qingdao for the first time. Five comedians – Ian Coppinger, Andy Smart, Richard Vranch, Stephen Frost and Steven Steen – own the stage at the newly-established Le Meridien hotel on Yanji Lu.

MAY - AUGUST 2010

A high point in electronic music in Qingdao arrives as four-time world DMC champions Atom and Pfel from France's Beat Torrent played at the downright dirty Paulaner Bar. Then in June, French reggae-rockers Zenzile and US bluegrass act the Redbucks played at REDSTAR. Beijing's flavour-of-themonth wunderkinds Lazy Camels were next, followed closely by Maybe Mars Records' 24 Hours in August.

Qingdao's top graffiti artist Ice sprays the REDSTAR January 2011 front cover on a wall in our shop. Later that month Free The Birds and the Dama Llamas tear up both the REDSTAR office and Huangdao's Sailing Bar in two epic concerts.

The Extreme Sailing Series arrives in Qingdao. The fastest wind-powered sailing competition on Earth is the latest in a string of high-profile nautical events to recognise Qingdao as a first-class host city for stopovers.

MARCH 2012

We dragged most of the young foreigners in Qingdao on a 13-stop pub crawl... probably not the best idea in retrospect. Then again, retrospection hasn't stopped us continuing the tradition.

You might still be feeling hungover from the pub crawl we did in August.

NOVEMBER 2012 JUNE 2012

The music was fantastic; the logistics not so good. This was before there was a tunnel, and transferring several hundred kilogrammes of speakers on the rusty old ferry over Jiaozhou Bay was fraught with obstacles.

An English man showed up in Qingdao snapping his fingers and claiming that he was 'all that' when it came to styling hair, so we called him on it and asked him to replicate the Yuefenpai advertising poster style popular in China in the early half of the last century. His name is Steve Mather and he lived up to his claims.

Things were definitely looking up for music in Qingdao, but the best was yet to come. In October of that year, the founder of jazz promotion company Creative Music in China, Peter Scherr, brought New York jazz luminaries the Tectonic Quartet on a monstrous tour of China. Their Qingdao date was an exemplary display of technical musicianship.

MARCH 2011

We collaborate with Alliance Francaise again to bring indie luminaries Arnaud-Fleurent Didier, Cloe du Trefle and Alex Nevsky to Qingdao and Jinan.

Meanwhile, on Women's Day we celebrate the careers of successful local businesswomen, designers and performers such as Janette Dai of Nax Logistics, electronic music producercum-fashion merchant Carrchy and interior decorator and charity worker HK Cho.

Then we sent the same interns to find the best instant noodles China has to offer. Only the very, very best.

t What's your favourite Qingdao institution that has stood the test of time?

Nothing really special, hehe, it's all good.

What do you look forward happening to Qingdao over the next ten years?

I hope the old town can be preserved more, and the sea cleaned up. I'm a swimmer - I go swimming nearly everyday - so I really hope the authorities can do something to make the sea cleaner.

For our ten year anniversary, we decided to track down some of Qingdao's long-term residents to pick their brain about what they've seen over their years here. What they loved, hated and missed the most over the past decade in Qingdao, and what they looked forward to (and dreaded) the most about our sea-side city's next ten years.

What do you not look forward happening to Qingdao over the next ten years?

The old town not being properly preserved.

The Olympic Sailing Centre. You know, I’m a windsurfing enthusiast, so I’m most satisfied with the sailing centre. I go there and windsurf with my friends from time to time during summer.

Dajun, former owner of King’s Head English Pub

What do you consider as your most memorable moment/milestone in Qingdao of the past 10 years?

My first bar, Le Bang City, though it was even a bit further than 10 years ago. I opened this bar in 2000, right behind the Catholic Church in the old town. It was one of the earliest bars in Qingdao; I first met Ian there.

Has something changed over the past ten years in Qingdao that you wish hadn't happened?

I wish the old town hadn’t got torn down.

Especially Licun Lu, where the viaduct is now. It was a beautiful street there, local people lived, walked and enjoyed their daily life there.

Has something changed over the past ten years in Qingdao, that you wish hadn’t happened?

What's your favourite change to happen to Qingdao over the past ten years?

The commercial real estate market has gotten out of control. It’s a big burden to all the business owners that we can see all over the city: “grand opening” then “grand closing!”

This cost doesn’t allow any business unit to be under performing from day one – unless you own the building.

Western dining becoming more and more popular in Qingdao. There are more restaurants open now who make good food, and the competition is generally healthy and fair in the marketplace.

Has something changed over the past ten years in Qingdao that you wish hadn't happened?

There are many! I wish the underground construction didn’t take place. I wish the government didn't plant all those trees, that the Catholic Church Square didn't get destroyed...

What's your favourite Qingdao institution that has stood the test of time?

My mum's home and food. Because of work, I don’t have much control over my free time, so spending a night at my mum's and having dinner there has become luxury.

What's your favourite change to happen to Qingdao over the past ten years?

What’s your favourite Qingdao institution that has stood the test of time?

Phillippe, LPG’s owner

What do you consider as your most memorable moment/milestone in Qingdao of the past 10 years?

The first Halloween party at LPG might be the one! After one month of running the bar, almost empty everyday, around 100 guys joined our party that night. It was still far from successful, but I knew from that night on that I could make it happen in the near future.

What do you look forward happening to Qingdao over the next ten years?

Tracy, owner of Lisa’s Restaurant & Cafe

What do you consider as your most memorable moment/milestone in Qingdao of the past 10 years?

On Lisa’s anniversary every year, I would always receive presents and blessings from friends, that’s the most memorable time of the year for me. It feels even happier than my own birthday.

// CITY /

I hope the housing prices can drop to more reasonable standards; I hope the old town can be preserved.

What do you not look forward happening to Qingdao over the next ten years?

I look forward to nothing happening to the clean beautiful ocean, the view of brick rooftops and green trees, and the welcoming and optimistic attitudes people have in their everyday lives.

What is your favourite change to happen to Qingdao over the past ten years?

Let’s speak now of the night life, for the cleanliness of the town has in my opinion improved vastly over the last five years.

It might not be only in Qingdao, but I appreciate now being able to walk on most of the small streets without having to slalom around smelly trash.

Not only one, but some of them in the same field as LPG. I'm talking about Old Jack’s, Lennon Bar, Room Bar. These guys I appreciate, they opened earlier than LPG and I’m happy they remain strong.

What do you look forward to happening to Qingdao over the next ten years?

So back to the third topic: I wish for a stable real estate market to allow any businesses to build long term plans for its activities.

That could give us a lot more choices in bars, restaurants and others!

What do you not look forward happening to Qingdao over the next ten years?

As a Qingdaonese, worse air quality and road traffic (hopefully this will be better with the coming metro). But most of all I want to stay positive, so I’m looking forward to solutions that will make life better in this city in the coming years.

TRADITIONAL VS. MODERN CHINESE ART

myredstar.com

Dialogues with Xiang Weiren & Shi Haozhong, two of the most representative artists in Qingdao, from Liu Jieling and Peipei Zhu.

Xiang Weiren Born in 1947, Qingdaonese gongbi (a careful realist technique in Chinese painting) artist Xiang Weiren has gained some marvelous achievements in his field – traditional Chinese paintings, New Year's paintings, Chinese storybook series – everything he has tried his hand at, he has made into massive, good quality productions. He started his artist career in his childhood, and despite going through a tough period in the 1970s, he never stopped.

Shi Haozhong Ambitious youngster Shi Haozhong successfully made his debut exhibition in June of this year, after only 3 years of practicing art. The exhibition site was packed with admirers, and he’s only 26 years old. Before he even graduated from art college, his vice dean – a good judge of talent – bought one of his art pieces at a considerably high price as a sign of approval and appreciation towards his artistic accomplishment.

STARTED WITH HISTORICAL STORYBOOK PAINTINGS Mr. Xiang is very good at figure painting, especially portraits of ladies in gongbi style. He’s been really into historical serial paintings since childhood, things like historical figures fighting with swords are his favourites.

Fascinated by its bright colors, he also tried some nianhua (New Year's pictures) pieces, besides wood cuts and clay sculptures.

DRAWING THE SHORT STRAW Despite the fact that he’s very gifted at creating art, Xiang has drawn the proverbial short straw because of his family's “class status” – landlords – which were defined as class enemies. Because of this he missed out on a lot of opportunities.

During the 1960s, his main activity was to paint public service announcements all over the city for the party publicity team. It

SOLO EXHIBITION “DISSOLVE” Not long ago, in the summertime, Shi Haozhong had his very first art show at the 1919 Modern Arts Gallery. The exhibition was a combination of oil paintings, electronic music and a video of the “Hidden,” “Tracks,” “Self Portrait” and “Untitled” series, which consisted of more than 40 paintings over his recent years of creation.

“In more developed places like Beijing and Shanghai, many exhibitions are arranged in such a fashion,” Hao Zhong explains that “It’s the combination with other sensory art, rather than the paintings themselves, that together create a unique theme.”

The video was initially created by himself and then further edited by a professional friend. The deeply infectious electronic music that is set as a contrast to the rest of the atmosphere, is also tailormade by a friend according to the theme of the exhibition.

Along with specialising in arts in his final year of college, Hao Zhong gave himself a goal to host his own solo exhibition in three 18

t was all politically based and the only purpose was to promote and praise the superiority of socialism. A lot of his painting series were also destroyed during the “Criticise Lin (Biao) & Criticise Confucius” Campaign.

One of his pieces was not allowed to be in any public exhibitions merely because the name of it sounded like the word “puritan.”

A BREAK COMES PAINTING FEMALE PORTRAITS After the Cultural Revolution, Xiang got the freedom to create his own art works back. Through fortune as well as effort, Xiang’s painting series Tang Sai'er won the second prize at the 2nd National Serial Painting Awards.

This prize was one of the many breakthroughs for his painting career, from then on, he won prizes one after another and was invited to be a member of China Fine Arts Association. And all within a space of four years.

Later on, obsessed by gongbi years time; this year happens to be the third. He did it. In this huge art space on Changyi Lu that is over 20 metres in height, the exhibition was packed with admirers.

The light falls on the paintings as the projectors spell out the rolling images. The music in the air mixing with camera clicks, from an audience desperate to get a picture with the painter, set the rhythm of the show.

THE OBSESSION WITH PORTRAITS “Since my very first interaction with oil paintings, I have always had this unspeakable attraction to painting portraits.” He always says this in every interview. He values the human body and facial features as nature’s best work, as they make up some of the most mysterious elements in visual expression.

Hao Zhong first started learning how to draw when he was 9 years old, also learning over time the art of Chinese painting and paper-cutting. But then, somewhere along the way, his passion changed. Underneath his optimistic and spontaneous

style, Xiang started to paint mountains and rivers, particularly graceful portraits of women in ancient times.

The gongbi style had its beginnings approximately 2000 years ago during the Han Dynasty (206 BCE - 220 ACE), when Han Dynasty's political stability and its prosperity favoured the advancement of the arts. The gongbi technique uses highly detailed brushstrokes that delineates details very precisely, usually with no independent or expressive variation. It is often highly coloured and usually depicts figural or narrative subjects.

Due to his early year experiences painting serials and xieyi (freehand painting), Xiang's techniques are extremely solid.

Plotting and scene setting, which are required in serial paintings, make it very easy for him to come up with the right background, complementary atmosphere, colour selection and more. Speaking of complexity, it generally takes weeks for a normal-sized portrait character, there is definitely an attitude towards breaking boundaries set by convention.

“Human figures are the most difficult to draw for all painters, so I took on the challenge,” he said with a hearty laugh.

Therefore, face portraits remain the primary inspiration for his works, at least until the time of this writing. “Haozhong’s work definitely has personality. Its neither reproduction of realism nor following the traditional system model...his paintings are calm and stable, yet are full of tension,” commented Qingdao’s wellknown artist, You Liangcheng.

FUTURE YOUTH ART UNION Initiated by Haozhong, Han Yifei, Niu Yulong and Qu Yanbing, it was born as an idea at a private reunion among these four young artists, and gradually evolved to become a representative group of local open-minded artists born in the 1980s.

“The general atmosphere in Qingdao for artists is not the most nurturing,” Hao Zhong

of a woman to be completed, so how fast can Xiang paint one?

“It takes me around 10 days to finish one portrait,” says Xiang, smiling.

Despite his traditional technique and genre, Xiang's work is like a breeze of fresh air – clean and exquisite – with all the elements in his paintings fitting perfectly within a modern aesthetic standard. Their breath-taking visual impact will definitely leave you stunned.

THE PURSUIT OF “SINCERITY, VIRTUE AND BEAUTY” “Sincerity, Virtue and Beauty” is the motto that directs Mr. Xiang's creation. “There are various kinds of beauty, but what I'm pursuing is the traditional and delicate one,” he says with a smile.

Based on Xiang's painting Four Beauties, a embroidered variation made by Hangzhounese master Yao Huifen got into the British admits. When painting new pieces during the past two years, he felt this desperate need to be in some form of contacts with other young artists, creators and enthusiasts to exchange ideas, as well as learn from each other.

Gradually, a number of young artists joined the alliance, and together they slowly gained more experience and confidence in their respective fields.

PROLONGING HIS ART CAREER Haozhong’s works of art are not limited to canvas paintings, he does photography, big installation pieces, sculpture and much more. We consider him a “mass production” artist, considering the amount of pieces he’s painted, as well as the wide variety and scope of his creations.

Being such a talented young artist, what is Hao Zhong’s next direction after his successful solo exhibition?

“I want to open a shop that sells peripheral art products,” he said with a sparkle in his eyes. Then he continues – in the long run

Museum this past June. Although there were some misunderstandings and dramatics over permission and attribution to the original inspiration, needless to say, it does demonstrate how popular Xiang's techniques are in his field.

Since my very first interaction with oil paintings, I have always had this unspeakable attraction to painting portraits.

– this is to support his creations.

Creating art as a career is time consuming, it requires a lot of thinking as well as economic support. This art supplies store will open next year, located near the No. 15 Shopping Avenue (Yan’an Er Lu) as his “material warehouse” as well as a place for him to share his inspiration with his audience. myredstar.com

Tapping into

Chinese Urban Legends

CREEPY KIDS

According to traditional Chinese superstition, if a child gets extremely frightened or experiences some type of heavy trauma then his or her soul will leave the body. So if a young child is endlessly crying without any reason it probably got scared soul-less.

clothing over the child’s sleeping body and rub his or her earlobes. The crying and feeling of emptiness your child is suffering from should clear right up as it lays there confused about what got into their parents.

The tradition of ridding the child of this unknown ailment is to take one article of clothing the child has worn that day to the nearest intersection and waving it about while calling out the child’s nickname commanding it to return home. For example, “Come back home baby, come home to mama and daddy.”

Though autumn is beginning to kick off, which means costumes and jack-o-lanterns are right around the corner, it's hard to get excited about Halloween when you're in a country that doesn't celebrate it. Sure, in the city there are costume parties and the occasional carved pumpkin or spider web in English schools, but aside from these tidbits there is no real sense of All Hallow's Eve in China.

So this year Jordan Eckenrode is doing Halloween Chinese-style and regaling us with old legends, horror stories and myths from back in the day, along with a small handful of supposedly haunted places in Qingdao.

front of the mirror, because well face it – you‘re vain. And as you watch yourself stroke your hair, your mirror self smiles and jumps through the mirror into you mouth and begins to control you. This superstition is based upon another idea that if you comb your hair in front of the mirror at midnight a ghost will possess your body. If the mirror is in front of a window or door, the ghost will enter in through the reflection of the door in the mirror.

Another variation of this myth is that if you peel an apple in front of a mirror at night in one solid piece without breaking it, you can summon a ghost. When the ghost is summoned it will answer any questions you have, but there is usually a downside or something you have to do for it. If you don’t do something for the ghost then, maybe it will haunt you forever or try to possess your body. Ghosts are serious loan sharks; you don’t want to end up in the pocket of one.

Top 3 Haunted Spots in Qingdao

#3: SOME ARE NOT WHO THEY SEEM TO BE In ancient Chinese folklore there are countless stories about animals that have the ability to turn into humans.

For example, some foxes can turn into humans and are called hu xian and they usually dwell hidden in the mountain.

They can help people by telling them their future, reading their dreams, talking to the dead and casting away evil sprits that haunt people.

QINGDAO NO. 6 MIDDLE SCHOOL

Some graduates of Number 6 Middle School have heard tales of a young girl’s ghost that haunts the campus.

Many years ago a young girl had a love affair with one of the teachers, which is creepy in and of itself, until one day when the teacher had to end the relationship.

Later, the girl failed her exam and was not able to go to a good high school. In her depression she climbed to the large hill behind the middle school and threw herself off thus ending her life. So during exam times if you go on that hill you can hear a faint crying in the wind.

There is also the legend about pihu zijing which is an old story about a ghoul

A Journey to Brittany – the long lost sister of Qingdao

暸

While Qingdao was at its peak in August – beer festivals and sailing competitions beckoning – Wu Xueyi was travelling throughout Brittany. This northwestern French coastal region resembles Qingdao both in form and soul. Influenced by the same mild and humid maritime climate, locals of both regions are deeply proud of their culture of sailing, food and festivals. .

I

t is said that the most outstanding French sailors are all from Brittany. A highly indented coastline, with numerous peninsulas jutting in and out of the Atlantic Ocean, Bay of Biscay and English Channel, gives the locals an innate sense of the sea.

Here I stayed with a professional sailor, Pierre Le Clainche, and his family for four days in the commune of Baden in Morbihan. I had the opportunity to experience firsthand the life of a Breton sailor.

Having learned to sail at the age of 7, Pierre entered his first sailing competition only two years later. Now a professional sailor, Pierre has already won three world champion titles, twice in the Formula 18 Catamaran World Championship and has been to Qingdao for the Extreme Sailing Series. Now, at 26, he is the youngest sailor on the Red Bull team.

On a sunny day with strong winds, but calm water – perfect sailing weather – I sailed with the whole family to Île-aux-Moines to watch a sailing competition. Boats passed by with sails 24

of various colours: some solid, others printed with whole landscape paintings. A red sail with a sailor's photo in Matisse style with the phrase, "La solitude – le droit pour l'autre bout du monde,” or, “Loneliness – right to the other end of the world” caught my eye. Contrary to China, sailing is not just for the rich and the professionals here. "It used to be expensive as well because the boats are not cheap,” Pierre said, “but now it is already popularised.

They still are [expensive], but now there are many sailing clubs offering sailing lessons at affordable prices.” He added that until now he hadn’t owned a boat, all the boats he had sailed previously belonged to clubs.

Pierre navigates not only the strong winds and high waves of the sea, but also the storms and tempests of a newsroom as a journalist for Le Figaro. Comparatively speaking, it's usually pretty difficult for Chinese athletes to earn a living beyond sports.

With a career and such a tasking sport as a hobby, are there any dreams about participat-

ing in the Olympics in the future?

"Not yet, it's very difficult in France because of the high level of French sailors,” Pierre said.

“Each country needs only one athlete. Now I'm the sixth or seventh best and it's hard to get financial support for the Olympics if you aren't the best. You have to train and travel by yourself and it's very expensive."

Smaller and more colourful boats whipped by us with the help of the swift sea breeze.

Pierre said these small, one-sail boats are called ‘Optis,’ which is short for Optimist. It is a type of popular small sailing dinghy intended for children. Pierre said he personally prefers boats with two sails.

"Why?” I asked. “You're afraid of sailing alone?"

"Not that," Pierre said, smiling. "Because we need to man the ropes and follow the directions, it's a little busy for one person and easier for two to do it separately. I usually man the ropes."

True to his nature as a Breton sailor – optimistic and brave..

Because of these ropes recently, Pierre had an accident and injured his arm. He said the situation was really nerve-wracking in the hospital.

I asked him if this was his most dangerous sailing experience.

“Actually I never felt that it would take my life,” Pierre said. “I had a strong feeling that no matter what happens I will always overcome it and recover. I wish my arm will be in good shape soon so I can cover [as a journalist] the America's Cup in San Francisco for Le Figaro.”

Not yet fully recovered, he joined his Red Bull Extreme Sailing Team as coach when they anchored in Portugal this past July. True to his nature as a Breton sailor – optimistic and brave, no matter how strong the wind or large the waves – he seems ready to conquer any obstacle in his path.

OOOH LA LA, CRÊPES French cuisine is famous the world over for its exquisite dining culture. 'Crêpes,' also known as “really thin pancakes” by Ricky Bobbyenthusiasts, are becoming more and more popular of late and are a Breton specialty.

At the Le Clainche’s home I was fortunate enough to taste the real deal while given a free cooking lesson.

26

myredstar.com

"There are two kinds of crêpes, sweet and salty," Maryvonne Le Clainche explained. "The salty crêpe is the staple food, and the sweet crêpe is the dessert."

Maryvonne first mixed the liquid flour mix into a batter with a long spoon and fried the batter in a thin layer on the surface of the round stove. In just one minute the crêpe was done.

For an egg crêpe, the egg must be the essence. Largely different from Chinese egg pancakes, the liquid egg white and the liquid yolk are put into the crêpe separately. When the egg white was cooked, she sprinkled some cheese onto the thin crêpe and used a flat spoon to fold it into the shape of a square. The last step was to pour the liquid yolk onto the crêpe. All that was left to do was just enjoy the taste! It's the same to make sweet crêpes, just spread chocolate sauce as the last step instead.

While not exactly like China's jianbing guozi, they are in fact quite similar. As a staple food, the salty crêpe is accompanied by a salad, which is seasoned with salt and pepper. Now, imagine the lettuce with soybean sauce in the jianbing guozi and you have the closest French cuisine comes to resembling Chinese.

Coincidentally, jianbing guozi also happens to be a specialty of our own Shandong province.

Devoted to living the good life, Bretons are quite good at holding parties and festivals like Les Fêtes d'Arvor.

the Middle Ages, with low rock walls everywhere standing as a testament to time. With the sun now set, the same stones and slabs were now covered with people as they have many times before, excitedly waiting for the parade.

Breton for “the festival of the land near the sea,” Bretons hold traditional dancing performances and other spectacles like crowning the new “Queen” and two “Dauphines” of the festival. The young women wore tailored black satin costumes, with silver and gold embroidered fleur-de-lis, as the lily is the symbol of the French royal family. Elected by participants, young women dress in traditional Breton garb vying to stand out for more than just their looks.

Led by an officer and a lady holding the black and white flag of Brittany, there was a whole retinue of drummers and others playing traditional Breton folk music behind them, with representatives from every region. Actors represented royals and nobles arrogantly looking out over the crowd. Pretend peasants danced traditional dances every few metres, entertaining the audience and completing the medieval feel.

“They should not only be beautiful,” Maryvonne said. “There are three determining factors. They need to be good dancers of traditional Breton dances, have a good knowledge of Breton customs and cultures and most importantly… they need to know about and display the traditional Breton costumes. The costumes are unique from region to region within Brittany."

After the costumed spectacles, and once the castle turned off its lights, the streets dissolved into darkness while the audience waited with bated breath for the fireworks. In a flash, bright streaks shot up to the sky, splashing their colourful reflection on the castle's moat as they burst apart. With the music starting up again, and more crowds filing into the castle, the flames of “the festival of the land near the sea” left me an indelible memory of this long lost sister of Qingdao.

LES FÊTES D'ARVOR

Looking around the town of Vannes, and many other towns in Brittany, the architecture and style look as if nothing has changed since

The creative team of the Chinese version is the original team from Britain, though the dialogues and operas have been changed to Chinese, the humor and passion remain in the show perfectly. In the Chinese version, the hot mother Mia is played by Shadow, a brilliant Chinese singer and actress praised as “Queen of the Chinese Broadway” by state media.

Shadow not only is a look-alike of Meryl Streep in the film version, she also has the glow of a rock & roll queen.

Music, drama, dance, family, love, humor, what else? This show comes highly recommended. From 80 . Wu Xueyi

・

Acclaimed as “the Prince of Piano in China” by the state media, Yundi Li has been quite impressive for almost all his audiences - his overall musicianship is elegant, romantic and noble. His first victory was at the age of 18 - at the 14th International Frederick Chopin Piano Competition, which made him the youngest pianist and the first Chinese person to ever win in this most professional and reputable of piano competitions. The first two works at the competition - Chopin Scherzo No. 2 and Andante Spianato et Grande Polonaise Brillante were most magnificent. Li was given the Polonaise Award by the Chopin Society for his stunning performances and great achievement.

From time to time, people make comparisons with him and Lang Lang, another fastrising talented Chinese pianist mentioned frequently by foreign media. They each represent a different performing style, no doubt. Do go and check it out if you want to know who is better, and for what specific reason. From 180 . Liu Jieling

or folk singer Song Dongye, this undoubtedly is a spectacular year.

Signing with Modern Sky, the biggest independent music production company in China, massive exposure on the internet, recommendations from great Chinese folk musicians like Laolang and Zhangqiang, his musical performances have made him one of the hottest topics on the Chinese indie music scene this year.

Song Dongye’s music career started in college.

He’s a persistent follower and creator of 'neofolk' music, an experimental form of folk music that emerged from post-industrial music circles. For most of his fans - one guitar, a big figure standing in the middle of a stage, singing while tuning his guitar - that’s their image of him. He’s got a deep low voice – simple, sincere, much more worldly and mature than his actual age (26) shows. Sometimes he adds some nifty whistles and melodies, too. His earlier pieces "Seize That Fat Guy", "Buddha at

Line 1" and "Hey, Underpants" have received a great reputation.

Song was born in a neighbourhood called Anhe Qiao in Beijing, which was torn down and rebuilt into a subway stop. He therefore wrote a tender and touching song called Anhe Qiao in memorial of his old neighbourhood. The very popular piece "Miss Dong" he wrote last year was also based on a similar inspiration. "Miss Dong" later became his most acclaimed song and was included in the album Modern Sky 7, which was released in December 2012.

The series of matches resulted in a bunch of very tired players, and of course the eventual winners. In Pool A, the winner was Stephane (France) in a tight finish from Hubert (America) and Adam (Scotland). In Pool B, our visiting member from Korea, Fred, took the honours by one point from Julian (New Zealand).

10 Chinese

Directorial Debuts

that Defined the '00s

Little Big Soldier

Ding Sheng (b. Qingdao) Debut: A Storm in a Teacup (2000)

The second installment of a series that started last month in the Nineties, Josh Martin selected another group of Mainland Chinese directorial debuts that defined the Noughties. The following debut films are included for their prominence and influence during the decade, inclusion isn't necessarily an indication of their films' quality or popularity.

Buddha Mountain

Li Yu (b. 1973, Jinan Shandong) Debut: Fish and Elephant (2001)

A

couple of numbers to illustrate the growth of Chinese film in the early 21st century:

Total box office, 1999: 850 million RMB Total box office, 2012: 16.8 billion RMB Though the '90s brought significant new talents into Chinese filmmaking (profiled in last month's issue), the industry was in poor shape by the end of the decade. Undercapitalisation was rampant, bootleg VCRs/DVDs slashed theatre attendance and Hollywood films like Titanic and Saving Private Ryan were crushing the local competition.

The most ambitious domestic producers challenged Hollywood with lavish historical spectacles influenced by Hong Kong films.

Zhang Yimou followed up his record-breaking Hero (2002) with House of Flying Daggers (2004) and Curse of the Golden Flower (2006), Chen Kaige joined in with The Promise (2005) and even Feng Xiaogang – best known for comedies – had a go with The Banquet (2006).

Meanwhile, Hong Kong directors poured into the mainland, resulting in Tsui Hark's Seven Swords (2005) and John Woo's two-part Red Cliff (2008-2009).

Successful or not, such epics are too risky and too expensive to sustain an entire industry.

Perceptive filmmakers spotted a growing urban middle class that would patronise cheaper, more youth-oriented genres: 34

comedy, romance and horror. The comedy Crazy Stone (2006), the horror flick Mysterious Island (2011) and the romcom Love Is Not Blind (2011) are among the many dark horses to win impressive returns on investment. The most successful of all was last year's Lost in Thailand, a goofy 30 million RMB comedy that earned 1.3 billion RMB and is currently the highestgrossing mainland film of all time.

At the same time, the relative importance of "art" films has decreased. The commercial sector becomes more attractive to young filmmakers with each passing day, and the domestic market is large enough that they feel less of a need to cater to overseas festival/ arthouse crowds. There will always be directors uncomfortable with the mainstream, but they're not the face of Chinese filmmaking to the degree they once were. The centre of Chinese cinema now lies in the multiplex.

Eternal Moment

Zhang Yibai (b. 1963, Chongqing) Debut: Spring Subway (2002)

// CULTURE /

After his barely-released debut, Ding focused on commercials for a few years, then returned to filmmaking with the Qingdao-set The Underdog Knight (2008).

An odd attempt at a modern-day wuxia story (literally, 'martial hero'), it featured a mentally-disabled ex-soldier turned vigilante. Ding's action-comedy stylings got the attention of Jackie Chan, who let Ding direct the period adventure Little Big Soldier (2010). Ding came back to Qingdao for the Underdog Knight sequel He-Man (2010), but moved on to Beijing for Chan's Police Story 2013, due to hit theatres on December 24.

A former TV host and documentary filmmaker, Li's "underground" debut Fish and Elephant came with controversy attached – it was billed as the mainland's first "lesbian film" – but proved a sensitive and non-exploitative work. The real controversy arrived with Lost in Beijing (2007), a ribald and eventually banned portrayal of down-andouts in the capital. Lost star Fan Bingbing later boosted the commercial fortunes of Li's restless-youth tale Buddha Mountain (2010) and last year's Double Xposure. The latter, a twisty psychological drama, was somewhat unconvincing, but suggests Li is taking her career in new directions.

Lu's work cannily juggles disparate styles and influences. The Missing Gun borrowed its premise (a policeman loses his sidearm) from an Akira Kurosawa movie, beginning as a comedy which then veers into thriller territory. Kekexili (2004) combined a high-adventure concept (a volunteer anti-poaching squad in Tibet) . The black-and-white Nanjing Massacre drama City of Life and Death (2009) attracted crowds and controversy, telling much of the story from a Japanese soldier's POV. The Last Supper (2012), an elliptical and revisionist take on the Han Dynasty's founder, received mixed reviews and a disastrous box office. Chastened by this reception, Lu is now prepping a science-fiction film, which he promises will be "commercial."

Zhang's TV campus romance Cherish Our Love Forever (1998) achieved wide popularity among Chinese youth. As those viewers grew up, Zhang courted them again with the bittersweet romances Spring Subway and The Longest Night in Shanghai (2007), plus the adultery thriller Curiosity Killed the Cat (2006).

Most of his films luxuriate in glossy urban locales, which are now de rigueur but were fairly novel a decade ago. Zhang became less ambitious after the arty Lost Indulgence (2008), directing a cinematic sequel to Cherish Our Love Forever (Eternal Moment, 2011) and co-directing the atypically broad ensemble comedy Better and Better (2013).

He's no doubt carefully considering his next move, now that he's competing for the youth market with the entire Chinese film industry. myredstar.com

t Ning's low-budget heist flick Crazy Stone (2006) was one of the surprise hits of the Noughties. Its “anything-goes” sensibility – movie parodies, black humor, loopy plotting, cross-dialect banter – helped chart a new path for mainland comedies.

It also marked the film debut of Qingdaonese actor Huang Bo, who returned for Ning's successful follow-up Crazy Racer (2009). Guns and Roses (2012) augmented Ning's usual antics with a 1930s setting and some hokey patriotic drama. He's now preparing a new comedy, again with Huang Bo; meanwhile, No Man's Land, completed in 2010 but rejected by the censors, may finally emerge next year.

The Message

Gao Qunshu (b. 1966, Hebei) Debut: The Tokyo Trial (2006)

Wang's documentaries remain undistributed in China, thanks in part to their patient detail and generous running times – the longest, Crude Oil (2008), lasts 14 hours. His subject matter isn't exactly regulator-friendly, either: the decline of northeastern rust-belt communities (West of the Tracks); a woman's experiences of the Anti-Rightist Movement (Fengming: A Chinese Memoir, 2007); preadolescent children living alone in an impoverished village (Three Sisters, 2012). The Ditch (2010), his sole narrative feature, is a factual account of mass starvation in a 1960s "reform through labor" camp. His latest documentary, 'Til Madness Do Us Part, was filmed in a mental institution and premiered at last month's Venice Film Festival.

A popular actress, Xu moved quickly into directing. Despite her mainstream fame, her early films showed an artsy and occasionally experimental edge; for example, Dreams May Come (2006) had a cast of two and was set entirely in a single room. Her first hit as a director was Go Lala Go! (2010), an adaptation of a popular web novel that rode a growing wave of female-centred yuppie romances. Xu revisited the genre with the corporate-espionage yarn Dear Enemy (2011), but has kept a low profile since. She recently resurfaced as a judge on China's Got Talent and is preparing yet another romcom.

Gu began as a cinematographer on one classic after another: Red Sorghum, Farewell My Concubine, In the Heat of the Sun etc. His directorial debut Peacock was an ambitious story of a dysfunctional family stumbling through the post-Cultural Revolution era. Its strange, grotesque sentimentality reappeared in And the Spring Comes (2009), about an eczema-ridden woman and her dreams of stardom. Gu's highest-profile work, Love for Life (2011), centred on a struggling couple in one of Henan's infamous "AIDS villages." Gu kept it from sliding into romantic cliches and message-movie earnestness, but the final product was hurt by studio re-editing. Gu's next film, also a romance, has the very tentative title Literary Love in the Age of WeChat.

Mr. Right

Xue Xiaolu (b. 1970, Beijing) Debut: Ocean Heaven (2010)

REVIEW

// CULTURE /

A longtime director of TV cop shows, Gao had a theatrical hit co-directing the 1940s spy drama The Message (2009), deploying his skill with ensemble casts in tense situations.

After an unsuccessful attempt at high-octane action (Wind Blast, 2010), Gao helmed the more down-to-earth Beijing Blues (2012), which followed a detective's interactions with various crooks and oddballs. Though a commercial under-performer, Blues scooped up numerous awards, establishing Gao as a critical favourite. Unfortunately, the risible thriller Crimes of Passion (2013) didn't help his reputation—but it was made before Beijing Blues, so Gao's true follow-up still lies ahead.

Screenwriter Xue secured the acting services of Jet Li for her Qingdao-set directorial debut, Ocean Heaven. A low-key drama about a terminally-ill widower and his autistic adult son, the film scored good reviews but a weak box office. Not so for the romcom Finding Mr. Right (2012), which earned a stunning 518 million RMB through excellent word of mouth.

Both of Xue's films combine a time-tested genre with hot-button social issues – Heaven tackled the plight of the disabled and China's weak safety net, while Mr. Right touched on anchor babies, same-sex relationships and the nouveau riche. The formula is evidently working, as Xue needed just two films to become one of China's most bankable directors.

Silent Witness

Directed by Fei Xing

I

don't know much about the Chinese judicial system, but I doubt it works as Silent Witness would have it. The legal drama herein is suspiciously similar to Perry Mason or a John Grisham thriller, with objections flying back and forth, a courtroom audience gasping at a stream of revelations and cross-examinations ending in shouting matches or tearful breakdowns.

At least the case justifies all the theatrics. A doe-eyed 20-year-old (Deng Jiajia) stands accused of killing her stepmother-to-be. On the first day of the trial, her defense attorney (Yu Nan) wins a surprise confession from the young woman's chauffeur (Zhao Lixin).

Procurator Tong Tao (token Hong Kong actor Aaron Kwok) suspects the hand of the defendant's rich father (Sun Honglei), whom Tong has been trying to lock up for years.

as writer-director Fei Xing did in his previous film, the horror-crimeromance-comedy The Man Behind the Courtyard House. But here he hits a single note, relying constantly on overwrought music, swooping cameras, and amped-up scene transitions a la Tony Scott. Of the actors, only Sun and Zhao show any range, with the others reduced to near-caricature—Kwok is in a perpetual bugeyed frenzy, Yu is weirdly slack-jawed, and Deng is always either sobbing or just about to.

Two hours of this goes a long way, and Silent Witness ends up as a clever story in need of more finesse. Josh Martin

Further twists come in rapid succession, including a final one that earns points for audacity. Such implausibilities can be massaged through careful adjustments of tone, myredstar.com

baby dragons) beneath them to name-drop the various dynasties that built them. Although suffering from numerous fires, rebellions and even the Cultural Revolution over the years, the temple complex survives as the largest historical building complex in China at 16,000m2.

Confucius' cemetery is literally called “Kong's forest” in Chinese not just because of the thousands of age-old trees, but also all the steles acting as tombstones create a forest-like effect. This expansive cemetery comes in at just under 184 hectares as it is filled with thousands of graves of his disciples and descendants. The tradition of allowing ancestors with the family name Kong ( )

meaning 'hill,' referencing his oddly-shaped head) can still be seen as graffiti from throughout the sites.

Paradoxically placed as the halfway point on one of the most modern modes of transportation between Beijing and Shanghai is a place steeped in tradition as the old stomping grounds of Confucius. Before skyscrapers and economic reforms, Qufu was more typical of China than not, but now stands out in contrast like an open air museum piece. With this in mind, Tomás Engle took a trip back in time to see how quaint Qufu could still be in the 'Land of Lamborghini.'

P

agoda rooftops, ancient stone steles and old city walls hearken back to what has kept Qufu famous, but signifiers of other times gone by are equally intriguing. Utilitarian gray concrete buildings and red paper banners with painted slogans flutter against an almost endless vista of fields in every direction.

In what is still essentially a large town of only 60,000 in the interior, this isn't surprising.

But for it to maintain this slow pace of life sandwiched between China's two Tier One cities is amazing if not puzzling. Two hours south of the political centre of China – with the economic centre a further three hours south – by bullet train, the place could easily have become a sprawling concrete jungle of a mess like Taiyuan or Shijiazhuang. Yet nearly two-thirds of the vehicles on the road are bicycles instead of cars, and there isn't a McDonald's, Starbucks or Pizza Hut in sight.

modern world in the form of a Shangri-La Hotel. Able to blend in and yet stand out at the same time, the monument to luxury accommodations combines traditional Chinese design and modern style with a Confucian flair. With an interior inspired by Confucius' Six Arts (Rites, Music, Archery, Chariot Racing, Calligraphy and Mathematics) and a whole menu devoted to Confucius' family cuisine (Shang Palace), they don't disappoint for local flavour.

Conveniently located nearby are the sankong or Three Confucian Sites: kongmiao (Temple of Confucius), konglin (Cemetery of Confucius) and kongfu (Kong Family Mansion).

The Temple of Confucius however isn't just one building, but a whole complex of buildings, built up by succeeding dynasties in bids to outdo each other in their fealty to Confucianism. The temple complex has numerous gateways, pavilions and steles with all the appropriately bizarre-looking bixi (turtle-like

Many of the tombs belong to the direct male descendants of Confucius, who were known as the Dukes of Yansheng, with the last holder of the position dying only recently in 2008. Their elaborate steles and 'spirit ways,' however, also made them a target of the Red Guards at the dawn of the Cultural Revolution, when in 1966 the body of the 76th-generation Duke Yansheng was dug up and hung from a tree.

Confucius' tomb was spared, but his slightly disparaging family nickname of Kong Qiu (qiu

The Kong Family Mansion is where all the direct descendants of Confucius lived, 1038 to 1937. Built of course to Confucian standards with the senior descendant living in the middle, the mansion is actually yet another compound comprising over 150 buildings with 480 rooms. Tasked with leading elaborate religious ceremonies on special occasions, and tending to the other Confucian sites in town, the descendants were also in charge of the largest private estates in China at that time.

For a place that is relatively untouched from the urban sprawl enveloping China, but still easily accessible by bullet train (three and a half hours west of Qingdao), this historic and surprisingly authentic Chinese town should not be overlooked. myredstar.com

Despite boasting the best beaches in Qingdao Municipality, Huangdao has for recent years played a quiet second fiddle to the hustle, bustle and commercialism of the downtown area. Recently however, changes in the city's infrastructure are set to fling this sleepy suburb into the 21st century.

The district now has a direct link to Qingdao's old town - the Jiaozhouwan tunnel has cut journey times to around 20 minutes and more or less put the old ferry terminal out of business. Jiaonan, to the north, is linked to the eastern municipality by the longest bridge in the world (41.58km, completed in June 2011).

Holly Smith chats with Joey Terracotta, director of film distribution company Terracotta Group and the Terracotta Far East Film Festival – both based in London – on his thoughts concerning Asian cinema.

Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters Holly Smith: What first drew you to Asian cinema?

Joey Terracotta: Although I was born in the UK, I had quite a Chinese upbringing which included films and television series from Hong Kong which we would get on VHS. This was the time of Jackie Chan and Tsui Hark at their peak and I would lend copies of these tapes to my friends and they hadn’t seen anything comparable to these films before.

Holly: What does the West have to learn from Asian cinema? (by “the West” I mean either audience or film industry) Terracotta: There’s a lot that both sides can learn from each other and from other film makers from around the world. The comments I always hear from Western film crews and producers is how efficient, quick and professional Asian crews are. As for the audiences, many are amazed by the originality of the stories from Asia. They value that there isn’t always a formulaic approach to the film or an instant categorisation of the film into the obvious pigeon holes of “rom-com, action, horror” which is the route that Hollywood marketing machines take.

Holly: Where do you think the future of Chinese cinema is heading?

Terracotta: Undoubtedly Chinese cinema is getting more and more diverse. The big box office pulls these days aren’t just the da pian big battle historical epics. Comedies like Crazy Stone – and more recently, Lost In Thailand – have a genuine appeal and their box office takings prove this. There will be more auteur directors like Cannes [International Film Festival] award-winner (2013, Best Screenplay) Jia Zhangke as more people look to express their individuality in today’s China. Along with these factors, China is right now working with the rest of Asia on co-productions which will result in some great blends of casts, stories and capabilities. Chinese cinema is heading for a bright and fruitful future.

THE HAIR SALON ARMY Photo © Peipei

Whether rain or shine, morning or night shift; you've seen them. Crew shifts from local businesses lining up at attention outside and engaging in some sort of team building exercise-cum-military drill. The evercurious Jordan Eckenrode went out in search for answers to this phenomenon in Hong Kong Gardens.

I

n Hong Kong Gardens there is “fa yuan xiu se” salon and every morning all the employees gather in front of the shop to commence in a daily ritual of morning exercises. At 9 o’clock every morning all the hair stylists go through a fifteen-minute speech and dance. For any foreigner that may be passing by it is strange to see people with their hair dyed and styled dancing in the middle of the morning. It looks like some type of punk army. It’s not only hair salons that do this but restaurants and other businesses as well.

It’s not entirely uncommon to see a group of restaurant waitresses and chefs lined up like there are in boot camp and have a manager lecturing the underlings to death.

In “fa yuan xiu se” they stand in front of the store and line up for roll call, then everyone takes part in the motivational Q&A. When asked what is their aim, everyone replies, “to serve the customers to their needs and offer professional advice” And they also chant, “the

team: we love what we do here, there is no such thing as a great individual, but good teams. Within our teams, we treat each other with care and honesty.” After this speech the whole team takes part in a ten-minute dance sequence. The colourful hair dyed styles go through the dance steps in autopilot with a blank look of disinterest on their faces.

Manager of the Qingdao headquarters in Hong Kong Gardens, Hao Er, says that the daily routine of dancing in front of the store is nothing more than an exercise for the hair stylist’s benefit. “I personally like the morning exercises.” He says the morning routine is intended to give employees a chance to wake up and warm up for a long workday.

Tones Do Matter:

// EDUCATION /

How to Improve Them and Speak Like a Native

Tones are considered one of the hardest parts of learning Mandarin for most students, but based on Preston Bu's years of teaching experience, they're not impossible for laowai to master.

Below are some helpful methods and advice that should keep you from calling someone's mother a horse.

1.

TONES MIGHT NOT GET TOO MUCH ATTENTION FROM YOU, BUT PROPERLY PRONOUNCED TONES ARE WHAT DEFINES THE QUALITY OF YOUR CHINESE. The biggest reason that you can’t learn tones very well is because you dismiss the importance of tones. Even though we understand you when your tones are off much of the time, some mistakes will definitely cause you a bit of trouble. Once I asked my students “What’s your favorite thing about China?” and a girl happily said Xiōngmaó (chest hair) instead of xióngmaō (panda bear). My colleague once complained that her student always wanted to kiss her, and she laughed when I explained that her student meant wèn (to ask) not wěn (to kiss). Therefore, you should remember the right tone from the first time you learn it and try to repeat the correct one every time you say it.

HOW DO YOU PRONOUNCE EACH TONE EXACTLY AND SAY A SENTENCE WITHOUT MISSING ANY? Students always get lost when they have to pronounce each tone correctly at the beginning, because they are not used to tonal language. My advice is to set a reference tone by using a familiar tone or intonation. I consider the first tone the same the sound "Ding!" when a microwave stops, and the fourth tone as the "Ah!" exclamation when someone step on your toes. And the key to pronounce a whole sentence is that you need to divide it into elements (words or combination of words) instead of character by character.

For example:

1.

Combine practise with movements: Try to let your chin move along the direction the tone goes.

Your brain will naturally transfer what you see into tones through these movements, after enough repeating it will become a part of your muscle memory.

2.

Listening and imitation: Listen to your native friends’ tones or watch local TV and movies as much as possible, then imitate whenever you have a chance. Here’s one good exercise: Listen to a recording then write down the tones and imitate.

You won’t notice much difference at first, but before you know it, you’ll be sounding like a native.

3.

Taking lessons which are especially for pronunciations: Teachers won’t spend too much time correcting your tones because of time limit. Taking pronunciation lessons two or three times a week will be very effective for improving tones.

4.

Stay motivated: Just like Rome, great tones aren’t built in a day. It might take weeks or months for you to notice improvements, but stay motivated. Keep practicing. You can do it.

2.

Secretly make eyes at/wooing someone

3.

Literally, “to send ‘autumn waves’ secretly” with “autumn waves” referring to the eyes of a pretty woman, like a lake in autumn pure, bright and tender. This expression originated from Romance of the Three Kingdoms, a famous Chinese historical novel set amidst the turbulent years near the end of the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms era of Chinese history. In the novel, the beautiful maiden Diaochan fascinated Lu Bu with a meaningful glance like the tender waves of a lake in autumn.

4.

BONUS: The longest Fisrt-to ne sentence contest: Write a sentence only with First – tone words ,the longest will be the winner.

Example: says you should drink porridg

Doctor e today.

PRIZE: Top three contestant s will get a one-month pronunciation cou rse provided by “Pure Chinese” language school for free.

Please send your sentence to purechinese@163.com with the sub ject “First-tone Contest.” For more information you can visit www.purechinese4u.com.

The eye-movements should be tender, smooth and yet not too eager or rushed. It should convey your wooing message well in an ambiguous way. Have a crush on someone? Then why not try to send some “autumn waves” to him or her first? If you also get an appropriately 'come hither' eye-movement as a reply - well, who knows what can happen...just make sure that they don't have a fly stuck in their eye and are giving you the wrong signal.

Wu Xueyi.

The minimum age for marriage for women in China is 20, so these days single women over 27 in China are labeled as shengnv or "leftover women." This not-so-good of a title began to be used by state-owned media in 2007. Urban and welleducated women are even more likely to be shengnv because of their strict requirements towards male partners.

However, despite the social pressure, some shengnv are actually enjoying it. They can do whatever they like, hang out with good friends whenever they want and do a lot of stuff all by themselves - reading, shopping and going to theatres, besides enjoying their jobs.

EXAMPLE Lily is 28 now, all her family members are advising her to not become a leftover woman and get married soon.

Digital Cash for the Digital Age China isn't usually seen by the outside world as an early adopter of trends, usually following them only once fully established in the West. This time is different though, with even the most traditional of Chinese cities (Beijing) all abuzz about an idea still unknown to many Westerners: Bitcoin. In an interview with bitcoin enthusiast 'Jake in Beijing,' Tomás Engle digs into its popularity in China, how it works and what it isn't.

Bitcoin is doing to money what email did to the postal system.

café who I didn't know but had heard was a big time bitcoin guy. He offered me a job on investing in bitcoin startups, and I've been working with him and an in-house team of developers creating projects for about 4 months now.

WERE YOU CAUGHT OFF GUARD BY THE LEVEL OF INTEREST IN BITCOIN BY CHINESE PEOPLE?

Yes, at first I thought it was mostly an American/European thing, and even the guy here who introduced me to it here [the miner roommate] was a foreigner too.

I think when I first found out how popular it was with Chinese people is when I organised the first meetup, and out of the 15 people who attended, like 11 or 12 of them were Chinese. The second meetup had about 50 people and 75% were Chinese.

HOW DID YOU FIRST HEAR ABOUT BITCOIN?

friend to ask if I could buy some bitcoins from him.

I actually first got interested in bitcoin about 2 years ago when my roommate was a miner.

I remember being fascinated by the idea and I even tried to buy some. At that time, however, the infrastructure for buying bitcoin was not nearly as developed as it is now, and I ultimately couldn't figure out how to do it so I gave up and kind of forgot about them. Which I regret as they were still super cheap then.

About a month after I bought them the price started going up, and hit a high of more than US$250 per BTC, before correcting down to US$100 or so.

WHAT MADE YOU GET BACK INTO IT?

Fast forward to December 2012. I meet a friend of a friend and asked him what he does in China (as foreigners always ask each other), and he said he was here doing “bitcoin stuff.” His other friends that were with him seemed to think it was a waste of time, but I remembered what they [bitcoins] were and was interested again, so I started asking all kinds of questions.

I started doing all kinds of research, reading the news, following the price. At the time they were slightly less than US$20 per BTC. So one day I had some extra cash and called up that 50

myredstar.com

During all this, I also started organizing bitcoin meetups in Beijing and was meeting people that way. I learned from one of them that there was this cafe in Zhongguancun called The Garage ( ) and that the owner there was interested in bitcoin.

So one day myself and two other bitcoiner friends went to that cafe to see if we could buy a coffee with some. We asked the owner and he was all surprised since no one had ever asked him before, and he was all excited, "hell yeah!" etc. So we bought our coffees with bitcoin, and about a month after that, I was contacted by an employee of the cafe. She told me that there had been a CCTV reporter there that day, and that she wanted to do an interview with me.

After my CCTV-2 interview on bitcoin aired, I was approached by this other guy at the

// BUSINESS /

It was supposed to be like a Western-style “Meetup,” or a “We Like BTC and Baijiu,” a casual group to just meet other hobbyists. But then I realised Chinese people, when you say “meet-up,” they expect some kind of agenda as all these people showed up and were sitting around waiting. I was like, "Jesus, just talk amongst yourselves,” but some interesting people attended and we got them to give speeches anyway.

WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE SHOWED UP?

I was surprised, at one of the meetings we had a 50-something ayi who was there because her son told her about bitcoin and she wanted to understand it more. But attendance was more or less upper class, generally well educated, some level of English, lots of money--one guy was even telling me "Oh yeah, yesterday I bought 100,000 RMB worth of bitcoin."

DO YOU FEEL THIS IS THE SAME AMOUNT OF ATTENTION IT GETS IN THE WEST OR MORE?

I think bitcoin gets less media attention than it does in the west, but I think Chinese people in general seem more open to the idea, whether as a get-rich-quick scheme, or as an unregulated financial product that can't be taxed or otherwise messed with by the

government. I bet if we had a meetup now we could get 200 people, easy.

I even think Beijing is one of the global centres of bitcoin; New York City, Berlin and Beijing.

WHAT DO YOU THINK ATTRACTS CHINESE PEOPLE MORE THAN AMERICANS TO BITCOIN—THE CONVERTABILITY, THE ANONYMITY, THE PRIVACY?

This is total speculation on my part, but I've noticed a correlation between people's trust in their national currency and their level of acceptance towards bitcoin. In my experience, most Japanese people and most Americans are really not interested in it at all since these countries haven't had scenarios where their money is worthless the next day due to hyperinflation.

But in developing countries, where the local currency can often fluctuate wildly against other currencies (losing lots of value in the process), or in places [like Germany and China] where people have had painful memories of runaway inflation, it seems to be more popular. But yes, I think in China the anonymity and ease of movement are big factors.

China has very tight currency controls, restricting how much money people can carry out of the country and such. With bitcoin, you could walk out with a million dollars worth of bitcoin without anyone asking any questions.

Would you say the 2013 financial crisis in Cyprus, which resulted in the government granting banks a bailout in the form of a levy on depositor's accounts, was a turning point in bitcoin's popularity?

I think that the Cyprus thing and it's relationship to bitcoin is something that only people who were already using bitcoin were paying attention too. There were probably some people, but I really doubt most people in Cyprus were suddenly like, "Now I have to buy lots of bitcoin!” But I do think that Cyprus was one of the catalysts for the dramatic increase in price earlier this year.

I see. So it's more of the convertability, anonymity, privacy and tech of bitcoin that myredstar.com

...we had a 50-something ayi who was there because her son told her about bitcoin and she wanted to understand it more.

draws people in (depending on their national currency's history with hyperinflation) than paying attention to global financial events?

I think people get into it for two main reasons.

They either view it as a disruptive technology with the potential to change the world (I fall into this camp), or they are financial risk takers and see it as something that can be extremely lucrative (which is also true). I also think people start using it when they find a legitimate use for it. Some pissed off Cypriot might turn to it because they don't want the government to take their money again. I've also helped several foreigners in Beijing start using bitcoin to remit money back home -- which I think is one of it's greatest uses.

YOU SAID EARLIER THAT YOU THINK BEIJING IS ONE OF THE THREE GLOBAL COMMERCE CENTRES FOR BITCOIN. WHY DO YOU THINK THAT IS?

Yeah, perhaps not in terms of merchant adoption and the like, but we have a very active and passionate bitcoin community here. Also, one of the largest makers of bitcoin mining equipment is based in Beijing.

I'm not sure if you're familiar with QQ Coins, but they're basically another virtual currency. People started buying and selling them from one another, instead of just from Tencent [Weibo], and using them to pay for real world goods.

That has since been shut down, so – at this point – the relevant authorities definitely know about bitcoin, but they've taken no actions to restrict it. One of the world's three biggest bitcoin exchanges (www.btcchina.com - also in Beijing) has been running for three years with impunity.

Meanwhile the US government shut down bank accounts and seized US$5 Million off of MtGox [largest bitcoin exchange site] in the United States, for operating as an illegal Money Service Business.

I think the US govt just wants to make sure that they receive their cut considering that bitcoin is now this big thing with a US$1.5 Billion market cap that no one is making any tax money off of.

WHAT ARE BITCOINS? Bitcoins (BTC) are a “cryptocurrency,” which in layman terms means that it is a kind of money that exists online and relies heavily on coding to create new units and manage existing ones.

WAIT, I STILL DON'T GET HOW IT WORKS. New bitcoins are created through a process that is a lot like an on-going raffle called “mining,” where blocks are created (with a set amount of bitcoins within each one) whenever a server on the network solves a specific mathematical problem.

The difficulty of the mathematical problem increases every time, while with the yield of bitcoins decreases every four years. These measures help to prevent not only gaming of the network for personal gain (the former), but also help control the number of bitcoins in circulation (the latter).

OK...BUT THIS SOUNDS LIKE A BUBBLE. Yes, it is. It's a fiat bubble currency just like the Japanese yen or US dollar (a unit of exchange with no intrinsic value), but with one major difference. There is no centralised structure to take advantage of manipulating circulation, like the Central Bank of Japan or the Federal Reserve of the United States does

when they inflate the money supply to pay down government debt or boost aggregate demand.

STILL SOUNDS LIKE A PONZI SCHEME TO ME...

Ponzi/pyramid schemes need 1) a centralised structure with a definite hierarchy, 2) the promise of profits by founders to investors and 3) early adopters can only profit after adding new adopters to the scheme. BTC is a completely decentralised peer-to-peer system with no hierarchy, its founders have never made profit promises to its adopters and early adopters only benefit more than late-comers due to their earlier entry point, not at expense of them adopting.

HUH. OK. BUT HOW DO I EVEN GET THEM? The most popular way of acquiring bitcoins is by buying them through a Bitcoin Exchange, though you can also accept them as payment for goods or services, trade traditional currencies for them and – if you have the necessary hardware – you can go “mine” for them.
