水陆草木之花，可爱者甚蕃。晋陶渊明独爱菊。自李唐来，世人盛爱牡丹。予独爱莲之出淤泥而不染，濯清涟而不妖，中通外直，不蔓不枝，香远益清，亭亭净植，可远观而不可亵玩焉。 予谓菊，花之隐逸者也；牡丹，花之富贵者也；莲，花之君子者也。噫！菊之爱，陶后鲜有闻。莲之爱，同予者何人?牡丹之爱，宜乎众矣！Thoughts on the love of the Lotus FlowerOf all the flowers on water and land, a great many of them are lovely. Tao Yuanmin(365-427 AD), a poet in the Jin Dynasty, was only fond of the Chrysanthemum, From the Tang Dynasty onwards, people came to love the Peony. As for me, the Lotus is my favorite. Although it rises from the mud it never gets dirty, and although its beauty is spectacular in the pure water it is not showy. Although the stalk is hollow, it is straight and upright. There is neither sprawling nor branching out. It spreads an exquisite fragrance all around, the smell becomes more enjoyable at a distance. It stands quietly but elegantly. One can only appreciate its beauty from a distance and should never profane it by touching. It's my opinion that the Chrysanthemum is the most reclusive of all the flowers, the Peony is the flower of prosperity, whereas the Lotus is the gentleman of them all. Since the time of Tao Yuanming, Chrysanthemum lovers are rare, and I wonder who shares the same passion with me in loving the Lotus? Naturally there are a lot of Peony lovers.

In a private room on the top floor of Harvey Nichols in Knightsbridge, hordes of glamorous and mainly very young Chinese women (and the odd man) are packed around a Steinway piano on a stage in the middle of the room. Blow-dried, designer-clad with shopping bags at their feet, they’re drinking champagne and nibbling canapés, excitedly anticipating the evening's star attraction. ... Classical musicians have long been considered dusty, dry figures, but in China, 31-year-old Yundi and his more internationally known rival Lang Lang are treated as rock stars. They've inspired what's being called “piano fever; an estimated 50 million young Chinese now learn the instrument that until recently was banned as “decadent”. Hordes of fans follow Yundi (born Li Yundi) wherever he goes. In last year's Chinese classical music charts, he had 11 albums in the top 15, while his latest recording of Beethoven's sonatas went platinum – two feats unprecedented not just in the classical world, but in the entire Chinese music market. A one-billion-strong audience watched his televised performance at the Chinese Spring Festival Gala, with 10,000 in the auditorium. On Weibo (China’s Twitter) he has 14.5 million followers, who react in fury to anyone who dares even mildly criticise their hero, and is one of the top 10 Chinese celebrities discussed on the service. When he announced his idol was Chopin, the dead composer's biography began racing up the Chinese book charts. He advertises Rolex and Bang & Olufsen and is the “image ambassador” to Super Boys – China's answer to Pop Idol. Last year his Dream Tour – the largest classical tour in Chinese history – took in 33 cities, with tickets selling out in only 12 minutes. “Nobody had ever done anything like this before,” says Yundi, sitting in a hotel bar, the morning after the Harvey Nichols showcase. In China, Yundi leads a superstar lifestyle, even though he lists his hobbies as “drinking tea and listening to jazz. Based in Beijing, he hangs out with actors, models and singers (the Chinese media has long speculated about his alleged gay relationship with a Taiwanese pop star, though I'm reliably informed he has a girlfriend). ... Everything changed in 2000 when he beat 93 contestants to the Chopin prize. “Suddenly I was a national hero, meeting our prime minister and president, everyone’s attention is on me, it was all engagements, interviews, invitations.” He signed with Deutsche Grammophon, but refused the expected route of non-stop touring and recording, instead moving to Hanover for five years’ more study. “I wanted to slowly develop, to focus without disturbance.” DG was frustrated by his reluctance to cash in. Yundi smiles. “Practising for six hours a day, so much time alone with yourself, just with music. It makes me very strong.” While most classical musicians are pushed into playing any and every genre in an attempt to woo the masses, Yundi refuses to dilute his repertoire. “I don't do crossover, I don't change my style,” he says firmly. “I share what I do with young people; if they want different music they can find it in a different area.” It's hard not to read such comments as digs at Lang Lang, Yundi's long-standing rival and exact contemporary. Rumour has it that Lang Lang's father reportedly told one symphony orchestra manager that his son would not play with them if a future concert was booked with Yundi and in 2009 the boy from Beijing had Yundi dropped by Universal (Deutsche's parent label), saying the label only had room for one Chinese pianist. The following year, however, Lang Lang defected to Sony. In a counter-strike, Yundi returned to Universal for $3 million, the exact figure that tempted Lang Lang to defect. Lang Lang's “team” is said to be responsible for scurrilous rumours about Yundi's personal life. Now the Chinese media gleefully pits the pair against each other, like the Beatles versus the Stones. While flashy Lang Lang is the Party's and international favourite, the shyer – also seen as more poetic – Yundi is the Chinese people's favourite. As arts critic Norman Lebrecht summarises: “Lang Lang is a global brand, Yundi a national dish.” The mention of Lang Lang's name is the only time Yundi becomes mildly agitated. “I don't know him, we've been at the same event but we've never met, I've never seen him play,” he says. “Talent comes through the work. There's a lot of good talent out there and we support everybody.” He then adds, meaningfully, that his favourite pianists are Israeli. As I see it, Lang Lang relishes the spotlight – and the rivalry. Yundi, on the other hand, has become increasingly adept at playing the marketing game, but would be happier without it. “Only music can define me,” he says passionately. This may be so, but the flailing classical world is hyping him as a potential saviour, with all its focus being directed towards the Chinese market. Last year, 10 per cent of China's music sales were classical, and the figure is rising, compared with three per cent in the United States. “I'm very happy that so many children are learning the piano because of me,” Yundi says. “Music is magical and it shouldn't be something kept far away in a museum. It's like black and white in fashion, some people see it as boring, but it will never go out of style.”
Chinese Brands Strike a Pose in Hollywood Films Battling an austerity campaign at home, one high-end Chinese liquor brand is turning to another venue to boost growth: Hollywood. Jiannanchun, a liquor known for its potent alcohol levels and distinct odor, makes an appearance in the latest sequel to Sony's “Amazing Spider-Man,” which is currently in theaters from the U.S. to China. In the film, during a scene in which Spider-Man saves crowds from the villain, the brand's distinct red bottle and Chinese logo are prominently displayed on a large billboard in New York City's Times Square. It isn’t clear how much the company paid for the placement, although insiders estimated to China Real Time the price tag was likely more than 100 million yuan ($16 million). This isn't the first time a Chinese brand has attracted attention by appearing in a Hollywood blockbuster. In 2009, a billboard ad for Chinese clothing retailer Meters/bonwe similarly appeared in Paramount's “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.” Likewise, in the sequel to the movie, an actor holds up a bottle of Yili milk, China's leading dairy brand. Sirena Liu, president of a Beijing-based marketing firm that arranged these two product placements, said product placement in Hollywood films is becoming a popular form of marketing for Chinese companies. “Appearing in Hollywood films can enhance a brand's awareness among local audiences, making the local brand look more high-end and cool,” Ms. Liu said. The price tag is also tempting, she said, since the cost for a simple product placement in a Hollywood film is about the same as it would for a major domestic movie, usually in the “millions of yuan.” Yili's appearance in the film certainly seemed to be a boon. The company attributes much of a 40% on-year increase of the drink featured in the movie to the product placement, according to a statement on its website. And with strong demand in the world's second-largest film market, industry insiders predict even more appearances of this kind. “American filmmakers are trying to attract local attention in China,” said Annie Li, president of a Beijing-based communications compay. “The American side is more willing to listen to Chinese companies’ opinions than before.” Ms. Li, whose company helps clients facilitate product placements in Hollywood movies, said Chinese companies are rushing to get their products on the big screen. Her company recently was in charge of helping Zhouheiya—a local fast-food chain that serves duck that she said wants to promote itself as a kind of Chinese KFC or McDonald's—make it into the upcoming fourth installment of “Transformers.” “Zhouheiya always wanted to be promoted as a high-end product,” she said. Although it's hard to tell whether Jiannanchun's pricey marketing will pay off, it seems it has already attracted some eyeballs. “The most impressive part in the movie for me is the ad of Jiannanchun at Times Square and Spider-Man's perfectly fitting outfit,” wrote one user on Weibo. But China's myriad food-safety issues may prevent brands back from inking deals with Hollywood studios. Ms. Liu said after China suffered from several tainted-milk scandals in recent years, one leading American studio told her it would no longer cooperate with Chinese dairy or infant products. – Lilian Lin.
Thief steals Lemon, drops Apple Too flustered while making his escape, a thief lost his iPhone 5 in the process of stealing a shanzhai, or imitated and pirated mobile phone on April 17 near the Zhujiang New Town metro station in Guangzhou. He later called the victim of the crime, asking for the return of his much more expensive phone. Jin is a junior at South China Normal University. At around 6pm that day, he was listening to music from his mobile phone while walking to entrance B2 of Zhujiang New Town station on his way back to school. The mobile phone was stuffed into a side pocket on his school bag. Suddently, he found that the music had stopped. After a moment of numbness, he realized that his mobile phone had been stolen. "Thief!" he screamed, rushing out to try to catch the thief, who by that time had run 10 meters away. Jin didn't give up chasing and almost caught the thief, who was so nervous that he stumbled when climbing a flight of stairs, according to Jin's account of events. Things took a turn toward strangeness when another mobile phone suddenly dropped from the thief's pocket on to the floor. Jin stopped at once. Astoundingly, he discovered the phone was a barely-used iPhone 5. "I found it very funny. My phone is a "shanzhai" one, less than RMB 1,000. I picked up the real and didn't bother to chase the thief, who was still running." The thief was too busy making his escape to realize that Jin had already stopped chasing him. After another 30 to 40 meters, he turned around to see Jin standing and staring at him. That's when he noticed his iPhone in the would-be victim's hands. The roles completely reversed, he began to chase Jin back. Jin took off. Lucky for him, he is a champion 100-meter sprinter. In less than 30 seconds, he managed to evade his tail. "I was surprised he ran slowly like that!" Jin laughed. "Maybe he was a rookie." Jin tried to call his mobile phone after he arrived home. To his surprise, the thief answered the phone call. Even more shocking, the thief pleaded with Jin to give him back his iPhone in exchange for the phone stolen from Jin. The thief even provided his address. The thief promised again and again he would return Jin's phone. Jin didn't believe him and asked him to return his phone first. "The thief later told me he had sent it, but he didn't give me the tracking number, and I can't receive it anyway." After that, Jin was unable to make further contact the thief by his phone number. As for the iPhone 5, he decided to hand it in to the police. (By Deng Yingxin, Ian Heuer)
Upside down house opens to the public in China An upside down house has been attracting hundreds of tourists after it opened to the public in Shanghai, China, two weeks ago. Those who have ever wondered what it would be like to walk on the ceiling need wonder no more. In an old town in the Shanghai suburbs sits a house that has been totally turned upside down, furniture and all. Hundreds of visitors queued for the chance pose for photos with upside-down sofas and dining tables on May 1, the first day of a national holiday. And if the world being turned on its head wasn't enough, visitors were further disoriented by the sloping floor. "I've felt a little dizzy since I came in. everything has been turned upside-down. It's pretty interesting. But I think the real reason I feel dizzy is that the floor is sloping. That's why I feel dizzy," said 27-year-old Huang Qi. Another tourist, Sun Mingjiao, was amused by a lavatory that hung from the bathroom ceiling. "The little toilet in the bathroom made the biggest impression on me. I think its design is pretty innovative. Normal people may not think about it this way, but when I took a look at it inside, I had the feeling that water might fall out of it. It made me feel really odd," she said. Nine-year-old Wang Yijian was still excited by the experience as he played outside afterwards. "I felt like I was standing on the ceiling. The house is upside-down, but I still didn't fall off," he said. Designed by a Polish designer and funded by a Polish company, the construction of the house started in November, and took five months to complete. It opened to the public on April 25 and costs 30 yuan (£3) per visit. Sources: ITN/Reuters
Chinese Fans of Korean Soap Operas: Don't Call Us Dumb A group of Chinese fans of Korean soap operas have gone very public in response to a study published last year that suggested Chinese viewers of Korean “dramas” tend to be at the lower end of the education and income spectrum. On Wednesday, a full-page ad from a group called the “Asian Fan Club of ‘My Love From the Star’” appeared in South Korea’s largest circulation national daily, Chosun Ilbo, requesting an apology from the study’s authors. The ad, written both in Chinese and Korean, doesn’t pull any punches: “We would like to tell you that you are wrong. We like Korean dramas… We like intellectual power even more,” the ad reads. “My Love From the Star,” a 21-episode romantic comedy about a Korean actress and her extraterritorial boyfriend was a huge hit around Asia. It ended last month. In China, the drama triggered a craze for chicken-and-beer, the favorite food combination of the main female character. The main male character, Professor Do Min-jun, is played by Korean heartthrob Kim Soo-hyun. In the plot, Prof. Do accidentally lands on earth 400 years ago and falls in love with Chun Song-e, played by Jeon Ji-hyun. The ad says “Fans of My Love From the Star, along with science fans, will watch The Brain, a program for people with high intellectual power, on March 21, when Prof. Do appears on the show.” Kim Soo-hyun participated in the filming of The Brain, a show produced by China’s Jiangsu Broadcasting Corporation, on March 8. “If the number of viewers surpasses 100 million, you need to make an apology to Prof. Do Min-jun! As well, you should make an apology to ‘My Love From the Star’ and science fans,” the ad says. The study in question, “Map of Drama Taste of Chinese TV Viewers,” was written by five researchers at Seoul National University. The paper concluded that TV viewers in China with high education and income levels prefer Japanese and American soap operas, while those with medium levels of education and income like Chinese and Hong Kong shows. The low-education-low-income group opts for Taiwanese and Korean dramas, the academics wrote. Kang Myung-koo, who led the 4-member research team, including two Chinese staff, said: “I know the study has some parts that can be seen as controversial but I didn’t expect to see such a huge reaction from Chinese fans.” “I was amazed to see the ad and I think it is really a good thing that Chinese fans have such a passion for Korean dramas,” he added. Asked about the fans’ request for an apology, Mr. Kang said: “I acknowledge that there are some parts in the study that can produce misunderstandings.” Chosun Ilbo said the client bought the ad through an agency in Guangzhou.

Sex game ends in hospital visit By Cai Wenjun | February 25, 2014, Tuesday DOCTORS on Sunday removed a hard-boiled egg from a woman’s vagina after a lovers’ sex game went sour, officials from the Shanghai No. 411 Hospital of the People’s Liberation Army said yesterday. The woman’s husband said he inserted the peeled egg into his wife’s vagina because he wanted to try something different during sex. But soon after, the woman complained of an unusual sensation in her lower abdomen and the pair decided they should seek help. The couple, both in their 20s, said they had tried to remove the egg using chopsticks and a spoon. When that failed, the woman tried to free it by jumping up and down. Dr Guo Xinxin from the hospital’s gynecology department said the couple had taken a big risk. “Once inside the vagina, which contains a complicated mix of bacteria, the egg will rot,” he said. “Couples must be careful, but if they do have such a problem, they should go to hospital immediately,” Guo said.
Cabbies find ways around no app rule By Ma Yue | March 2, 2014, Sunday | SHANGHAI taxi drivers are keeping “for hire” signs switched off and claiming that customers are their friends in order to get round a ban on third-party booking apps. Yesterday marked the first day of a ban on city cabbies taking fares through apps at rush hour, but as Saturday is not a working day, demand was lower in any case. A city traffic authority notice prohibits drivers from taking fares via booking apps between 7:30am and 9:30am and 4:30pm and 6:30pm every day. This is to ease difficulties hailing a cab in the street and address safety concerns about cabbies’ being distracted by cellphone apps while driving. However, some drivers were flouting the ban yesterday. A member of the public, surnamed Ye, said he first tried without success to book a cab through the Didi Taxi app at 8:40am in Yangpu District. But when he switched to the Kuaidi Taxi app and offered a 5 yuan tip, a driver with Shanghai Risheng Taxi Company accepted the fare. Ye saw that the car was showing its “not in service” sign when it arrived. The driver told Ye that his employer is not a major taxi company and supervision is not strict. Nonetheless, the driver said he switched his cab light to “not in service” in order to “avoid trouble.” Under the new regulations, cabbies who refuse to stop for passengers at legal hailing spots during rush hour while their lights show “for hire” will be seen as “rejecting fares.” For this they face a 200 yuan (US$32.66) fine and a 15-day suspension. In particularly serious cases, they could have their license revoked. Shanghai’s big four taxi companies — Qiangsheng, Dazhong, Haibo and Jinjiang — said they have sent notices and reminders to drivers. But a passenger surnamed Cai, trying to hail a taxi at 10am yesterday, said she was surprised when a cabbie stopped, even though his vehicle had its “not in service” sign illuminated. The Shanghai Haibo Taxi Company driver admitted he had been doing business with the “not in service” sign the whole morning, taking fares both via apps and from people hailing a cab. The driver suggested Cai make an advance booking through an app next time she wanted a ride during rush hour. Customers who make a booking outside peak times for a ride during rush hour do not violate the ban. It appeared that there were more taxis yesterday than usual driving on Shanghai’s roads with their “not in service” sign illuminated. The regulations also say that cabbies who refuse to wait in line for passengers at airports and railway and bus stations face a 200 yuan fine or suspension for up to 15 days in serious situations. However, the traffic management authority have encountered difficulties enforcing this. Yesterday, a number of taxis were spotted picking up passengers at the exit of the parking lot of Shanghai Pudong International Airport, instead of joining a designated taxi queue. But when approached by traffic law enforcement team, drivers and passengers claimed that they were friends. In such a situation no punishments can be administered.
