N
o man is an island, wrote the English
metaphysical poet John Donne back in
1624, emphasizing the inescapable interconnection between all humanity. (Yes,
this is going to be a pseudo-intellectual and achingly
pretentious editor’s note.)
Some people are from small islands though. Micronations that don’t have 5,000 years of history to
look back on, empires on which the sun never set
or untapped reserves of natural resources to use
as bargaining chips in that great poker game of
globalization.
Yet they have embassies in China, often manned
by one or two eccentric souls who represent their
countries’ diplomatic interests on their own on a
shoestring budget. Oscar Holland sought them out
for our cover story to provide a surprisingly compelling read (p34).
Meet Malta’s Clifford Borg-Marks, who moved to
China in 1977 and sabotaged the light fuses at the
PRC’s first-ever disco to make sure they could all
have a good time in the dark. Discover the business
dealings of Cape Verde’s Julio Morias, who has just
brokered a tourist development investment from
Macau that amounts to a remarkable 15 percent of
his nation’s GDP. Or learn about Seychelles’ Philippe
Le Gall, who collects curios like wicker-bound models of King Kong, engages in tortoise diplomacy and
writes loves stories in his spare time, while admitting he is “no Hemingway” (who, incidentally, took
the title of his 1940 novel about the Spanish Civil
War, For Whom the Bell Tolls, from that very same
6
work by John Donne we mentioned earlier).
Grey-suited government-line-toeing palm-greasers
these diplomats are not. Who knew ambassadors
could be so interesting?
Elsewhere in the magazine we’ve put together all
you need to know about two of China’s most popular post-80s idols: blogger and sometime racecar
driver Han Han and the Middle Kingdom’s richest writer Guo Jingming, whose books have been
adapted into a series of hit movies (p30).
China has a national pole dancing team. Just let
that sink in for a few moments – Why? What? One
more time? – and then flick over to p18 where we
learned all about the latest fitness fad-cum-sporting discipline.
We have a couple of new columns starting up this
month. First up, in Hobbyhorse we’ll be looking at
common Chinese pastimes – this month it’s cracking
the whip to spin a top (p15). Over in the Community
section, a couple of adventurous expats are planning
to hitchhike their way along the old Silk Road, starting in the ancient Chinese capital of Xi’an (p44).
And finally, back page columnist Ian Walker relives the events in Hong Kong that led to Paul
Gascoigne’s famous dentist chair celebration after
scoring against Scotland in the 1996 European
Champions.

We’re the best…
…at having the worst image, says a recent report by Renmin University. Based on 2,000
media stories covering 30 provinces, the report used five indicators: public security, social
order, public services, environment and image of officials. Traffic jams and corruption were
among the top factors contributing to Guangdong province’s poor performance. The report
also surveyed 1,400 people on perception of officials, in which Guangdong scored the worst.
Respondents cited dereliction of duty, violence, spreading of rumors and sex scandals for
damaging the officials’ images.
Two men battle it out to the finish line
in Shenzhen's Silly Run, which saw competitors not just surviving the heat but racing in the required high heels.
Guangzhou
provides the goalies
With more than one million
legal sex workers on the ready
at Brazil’s World Cup, there are
more than just football issues
to contend with as host nation.
In an effort to prevent a public
health crisis, the Brazilian government chose a Guangzhou
factory to be the sole supplier
of condoms for the competition, with a staggering order of
220 million prophylactics. The
factory, the first condom manufacturer in China, also received
an order for the last World Cup
in South Africa – albeit a much
more conservative 35 million.
Factoring in the sexy samba vibe
in Brazil must have driven up

He shoots, he scores!
China’s largest e-commerce platform has bought a 50
percent stake in the country’s top football team, as they
shoot for expanding their business interests. Alibaba announced its investment in Guangzhou Evergrande at the
beginning of last month, in a score that company chairman Jack Ma described as “cheap,” according to the Wall
Street Journal. What’s RMB1.2 billion (US$192 million),
after all, when you’re becoming the major shareholder
in a team that has topped the past three Chinese Super
Leagues? Not everyone is happy about the deal, however,
with some Zhejiang natives voicing disappointed that Ma
did not choose to shower money on his hometown team,
Hangzhou Greentown – a side that finished 12 out of 16 in
2013. Perhaps because Ma likes the sound of coins jingling
better than the ping of balls bouncing off the crossbar?
Hats off to the chef
A recently opened Foshan restaurant
set tongues wagging when its inauguration ceremony featured six sizzling sirens
clad in nothing but sheer aprons and white
toques. Supposedly part of a chain that
also has branches in Taishan and – surprise, surprise – Dongguan, the diner’s PR
stunt cooked up a storm online, where netizens questioned whether these ‘chickens’
(a Mandarin slang term for prostitutes)
were promoting a restaurant or a ‘henhouse.’ Sounds like a lot of clucking over
nothing, if you ask us.

Customers queue outside a pie shop in Hunan Province in
the hope of getting a glimpse of Chinese Premier Xi Jinping’s…

Changsha five years ago to share his beloved hometown food, and
soon found himself in hot demand, saying he “had to make 1,600
meat pies a day during the peak season.”
Shao can be found selling his wares close to the dormitory of
Hunan University, and it isn’t only his doppelganger status that
has the students flocking. His Zhejiang-style meat pies served
with dried and preserved vegetables won four stars out of five on
online dining guide Dianping.com and are a steal at just RMB3.5
each.
Microbloggers jokingly called on the president to meet his
‘twin brother.’ “It would be the most important meeting of a

Fake fail
For most people, the only good thing about taking China’s super-difficult, stress-inducing
gaokao college entrance exam is that they have to do it just once. Not so for Kang Xilian, a
68-year-old farmer from Liaoning who took the test for the 14th time this year. ‘Grandpa Kang’
originally failed the exam in 1978 and, despite getting a passing score in 2002, still hasn’t
walked away satisfied. Kang told reporters that “My best score was 303 in 2009, but I only got
222 last year.” Hopefully 2014 is Grandpa Kang’s best year yet. If not, there’s always 2015…
A Shandong man’s brilliant plan to fake his
own death by dressing up a dog carcass in his
clothes has, against all odds, completely failed.
The man, surnamed Li, bought a dead dog (as
you do) and attempted to stage a hit-and-run
accident on National Highway 206. Shockingly
enough, the plan completely unraveled and Li
was picked up by police. He told authorities
that he “just wanted my [family] to think I
was dead” so he could start a new life with his
lover. He’s barking mad if he thought it was
ever going to work.

GIRLS WITH THE DRAGON TATTOOS
Women with a taste for ink
BY GARY MAIDMENT
A
colorful emerging facet of a more
open China is the increasing number
of females opting for the ink. “The
amount of Chinese women now getting tattoos is about equal to men,” says art graduate
and tattoo artist Yoyo Zhong, who has been
wielding a needle for more than 10 years.
Initially, expats made up the bulk of her business, but the ratio to locals – notably Chinese
women – has equalized over the five years
since Zhong has been running Lotus Ink
Tattoo in Shenzhen, reflecting a rapid shift in
cultural attitudes.
With the simplest tattoos taking around
10 minutes to sleeves and full back jobs that
require multiple sessions, Zhong notes with
a touch of amused pride that “girls can take
much more pain than men. Men, though they
pretend to be stoic, can take about two hours
compared with girls, who can easily last four.”
First-time women tend to go for something arty, pretty and beautifying, compared
with the chaps, who think harder about
the meaning behind a design. Now, more
girls – around 50 percent who visit Lotus –
bring in their own designs, often “something
that evokes a memory or a moment, which
expresses herself more,” comments Zhong,
who herself has over 20 tattoos, all of which
she’s – very impressively – done herself. “But
when girls fall in love with tattoos, they tend
10
to select designs that have more meaning."
The ladies are also getting more hardcore: “I have lots of requests for sleeves
and full back tattoos – in fact, girls are often
going for bigger designs than men.” Zhong
creates many designs herself; frequently,
women arrive with a clutch of concepts from
which a final, holistic design will emerge,
often comprising several pieces.
Though a lifestyle statement that is
ostensibly anathema to traditional Chinese
culture, the Confucian link to familial ties
is alive and well in the tattoo arena. “In the
past week I’ve done about five portraits of
parents, as well as spouses or lovers,” says
Zhong. While many may view this as a curious testimony of devotion towards one’s progenitors – and certainly a scarily stalkerish
one for a lover – parental attitudes to girls
getting inked up are more relaxed than the
uninitiated may expect. “The main thing the
older generation worries about is that a girl
will find it hard to marry if she has tattoos.
After she’s married, though, most parents
are accepting if the husband doesn't mind,”
explains Zhong.
The average age for women getting a
tattoo is between 25 and 35, "but the oldest
woman I’ve worked on is in her 70s,” Zhong
recalls. On the flipside, she is aware of the vagaries of youth. “If a girl of around 18 comes
in requesting a sleeve or a big tattoo, I repeatedly question whether she’s sure and ask her
to consider the impact on her future, such
as in the areas of relationships and jobs.” As
Zhong tends to be booked-up well in advance,
"younger girls go to the back of the queue to
give them some more thinking time.”
Occasionally, regrets occur, particularly
with one design that Zhong will invariably
question: “Girls often get a tattoo of a boyfriend’s name.” Realistic about the first flush
of love and fully aware that a tattoo isn't just
for Christmas, she remarks that “the most
ill-advised is a name of a boyfriend around
the hip area. Many come back some time
later for a cover-up, which is difficult.” As
any woman on the planet sagely knows, the
blame of regret in the areas of ink and life
firmly rests with men.

Tat Talk
CROAKY CHEN, SHENZHEN, 18
Number of tats… Seven.
First one… Fourteen years old.
The reason… I'm happy that I have tattoos because they tell my own stories about
things I want to remind myself about. I’m
lucky to be able to do something I like and I
hope more people are starting to see tattoos
as art, not the sign of a bad girl.
one, but after my second tattoo they just
kept saying, “Don't get too many!”
Society’s view… Most people think girls
with tattoos must be bad, but now more
people think they’re cool, which is good
for us!
Parents’ view… They didn’t like the first
The designs… The one on my wrist is
Portuguese: viva sua vida (live your life).
The one on my right shoulder is a piece
of music from my favorite book, The
Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan
Kundera, and the following words in
German: “Muss es sein? Es muss sein!” This
translates to: ‘It has to be? It has to be!’
The meanings… The one on my wrist is to
remind myself to live my own life. The one on
my shoulder was done recently; I found out I
was pregnant and was struggling to make decisions, I realized I have to make up my own
mind but it has to be the right decision.
The designs… A compass, a gun and roses,
the Chinese word for dog (犬), a traditional
Asian design on my thigh and an Arabic
sentence on my lower back. I chose Arabic
so that others couldn’t read it. I also have a
ring of lace around my right thigh, ‘cause it
looks cool. The seventh tattoo on my inner
wrist was done by myself.
The meanings… The compass means always
find your way home. Dog means be strong, loyal
and faithful. The Arabic translates as, ‘A prayer
for the wild at heart, keep caged.’
First one… 2011, aged 21.
Parents’ view… They’re fine as long as the
tattoos don’t negatively affect my life.
CHRISTY TANG, SHENZHEN, 24
Number of tats… Seven.
Society’s view… Small tattoos are not really a problem, but big tattoos might give
people the impression of ‘not serious’ or
‘gangsta girl.’ Traditional Chinese people
don’t like women with tattoos and consider
it a symbol of a bad girl.

AS OLD AS TREES
The value in petrified wood
BY JANE KENT
I
t’s not every day the average person gets to hold
something millions of years old, let alone eat off of it
or sit on it. Petrified wood has been around since antiquity and throughout many cultures it has had a plethora
of uses and been bestowed with magic and metaphysical
properties. In the Stone Age it was used for crafting weapons and tools. In medieval times it was worn as amulets,
believed to impart long life.
Stores selling petrified wood at first appear to be just a
showroom of tree trunks which pop up in neighborhoods
across the PRD, puzzling many a foreigner. Zhang Jianlun
runs one of these shops in Guangzhou and explains that
because the wood “takes ages to transform, it absorbs the
essence of nature, which always means good luck.”
So what happens to create it? Millions of years ago
some forests were covered by volcanic ash and the buried
plant material was protected from decay by oxygen and
organisms. As groundwater would pass through the wood,
it would deposit minerals like opal or calcite. The result
is a fossil, the details of bark, wood and cellular structure
beautifully preserved. Petrified wood is found worldwide,
with important sources in Madagascar, Libya, Namibia,
Mongolia, China, Australia and the United States.
Because petrified wood takes so long to form and
carries both wood and stone energy, it is said to increase
patience and perseverance. It is deemed a stone of communication in feng shui and a common use is in offices —
a decorative piece is said to take the edge off tense negotiations, and signing a contract on a desk made from a slab
of it is believed to bestow longevity on the deal.
Zhang explains that “different wood has different
uses, and the value is determined by the age and region it
comes from.” Normal wood stone is less than 100 million
years old and is mostly collected by ‘rockhounds.’ “Agatelike examples older than 120 million years old are often
found in Xinjiang province and can be quite beautiful,”
continues Zhang. Fully petrified wood is the most valued;
known as ‘wood jade,’ it is at least 230 million years old
and collectors look for “the purer the better, the greener
the better.”
But the uses of the ancient substance have moved
beyond just feng shui. Alongside trends in the West like
re-purposing old hardwood from decrepit barns for floorboards to brag about in chic, urban lofts, new takes on
something old have been emerging. Carol Wang runs one
of the largest gemstone decorative slab suppliers in China
and she says petrified wood has become a hot seller for
home and commercial decoration. The rustic slabs can
become tables which are conversation pieces; large slabs
become sleek, indestructible countertops.
The colors and patterns vary depending on the time
period and the region’s climate. Some types run neutral
tones and make for subdued floors and tiling, while others
are psychedelic and brightly colored.
Collectors and suppliers scour antique markets and
some is imported to China from the US. There have been
cases where someone has discovered a fossilized forest
when digging in their backyard, which Zhang says is “really lucky. Now that is destiny.”

TUOLUO
You spin me right round
BY S.E. SMITH
I
f you’ve ever passed by one of the major
squares in the city then you’ve probably seen tuoluo being practiced – many
parks have a few whipper-snappers
knocking around.
Tuoluo (陀螺), meaning ‘peg-top,’ is a
pastime and activity enjoyed by children and
adults alike. The main objective of the game
is to keep a top spinning by using a whip-like
implement.
It is believed to have originated in China
around 2000 BC. A 4000-year-old top was
excavated in Shanxi Province in 1926.
The actual toy can be made from either
wood or steel and ranges in weight from 2.5
kilograms to 11 kilograms – about the weight
of a toddler.
Tuoluo enthusiast and Martyrs’ Park frequenter Mr. Huang explains that the hobby is
most popular in southwestern China and in
particular the province of Guizhou where the
most well-made tops can be found.
According to Huang, the activity is
good for the body and especially the lungs.
Exponents often practice for up to 45 minutes a time, with experts being able to keep
five tops turning simultaneously. This is
done with a ‘whipping stick,’ which is approximately two-thirds of a meter in length.
At its tip is a rubber band with frayed
strands of nylon which connects with the
tuoluo. Sometimes soft bull whips are also
used.
Apparently, it’s easy to tell how good a
whipper is by the way they wrap the rubber
cord around the tuoluo and then unleash the
coil to begin a spinning session.
If you fancy a go, smaller tops start at
around RMB130. Get cracking!

CHINESE WHITE DOLPHINS
The pandas of the sea
BY JANE KENT
B
ased on historic sightings, Chinese
white dolphins have inhabited the
waters around the mainland since
the 1600s and could once be spotted
from Macau to the coast of Shanghai. Despite
their name, the dolphins are recognized for
their pink color, which develops as they age.
These days there are four major populations
in mainland China, including the Pearl River
Estuary, Xiamen, Beibu Bay and Leizhou.
Samantha Lee, Senior Marine
Conservation Officer with the World Wildlife
Fund, explains that the “population of the
Chinese white dolphin in the Pearl River
Estuary, which includes the waters of Hong
Kong and Macau, is unique. Not only is it the
largest population remaining in China of
around 2,000 individuals, but it inhabits a
polluted estuary with intense human activity.”
They can be spotted in the north and
south waters off Lantau Island. Typically living in groups of four, they like to stick close
to shore but will range about 200 kilometers.
There are about 20 different types of fish
these carnivores consume, including lionhead fish, croaker and mullet. They can be
seen following behind fishing boats, feasting
on the catch which falls off the back. The
same vessel that feeds them can also harm
though – many of the rose-hued mammals
14
have visible marks from fishing gear and
propeller injuries.
Aside from overfishing and busy maritime traffic, large building projects are a major threat to dolphin habitat. The construction of the Hong Kong-Macau-Zhuhai Bridge
and the addition of a third runway at Hong
Kong International Airport will result in the
permanent loss of at least 1,000 hectares.
Some require underwater construction such
as piling, which creates noise that interferes
with echolocation, a type of sonar dolphins
use to communicate, navigate and hunt.
Surrounded by a highly built-up and
industrialized landscape with increasing reclaimed shorelines, the cumulative degradation has seen a significant decrease in sightings in recent years, in particular of young
dolphins. “The latest monitoring study of
just Hong Kong waters recorded a significant
drop in dolphin abundance from 158 individuals in 2003 to 61 in 2013,” says Lee. “The
dramatic drop hints that the dolphin's future
is in grave danger.”
When the Chinese white dolphin was
chosen as the mascot of the 1997 handover
of Hong Kong, interest was kindled in protecting the playful cetaceans. The WWF has
been lobbying the government to designate
known habitat areas as marine parks and to
develop a comprehensive management plan.
They are also “encouraging the development
of similar efforts in the Pearl River Delta using Hong Kong as best practice in dolphin
management,” says Lee.
Greater awareness in the last decade
also saw the start of dolphin-seeking tours.
While these can be beneficial for research
and funding, the Hong Kong Dolphin
Conservation Society notes that it has caused
“problems with irresponsible dolphin-watching practices and activities.” They offer information on how to choose an operator with
the least negative impact, in addition to a
limited number of tours they run themselves.

THE INITIATION OF URBAN WORK ENVIRONMENT RESEARCH
E
very day, urban citizens spend on
average 75 percent of the time
indoors. For white-collar workers,
over 50 percent of the time they
spend indoors is within their offices. Since
The Standard of Healthy Residence was unveiled, public attention has been drawn to
healthy and eco-friendly environments for
living and work.
In a modern office, a central air conditioning system is often used. As a result, the
internal air flow is relatively slow, allowing pollutants like the exhaust and dust to
fill the office and sometimes leave harmful
chemicals on office furniture. Meanwhile, the
bright lighting system may do harm to the
eyes, making the office less comfortable for
working in. Such health risks are cause for
concern.
Taking that into consideration, Yuexiu
Property and Southern Metropolis Daily,
two responsible local enterprises, have
joined hands to host the Research on Urban
Work Environment, with full support from
the School of Earth Science and Geological
Engineering at Sun Yat-sen University.
Started on June 5 and lasting for one month,
the research covers around 50,000 office workers who work in the Tianhe Bei,
Zhujiang Xincheng and Dongfeng Lu areas.
The research focuses on various aspects,
including air quality, internal design, green
area, audio environment, lighting, electromagnetic radiation and water conditions in
offices. Meanwhile, equipment sampling inspections and employee interviews are also
conducted in some offices for more accurate
survey results.
In order to receive more participation,
organizers set booths in some offices to
encourage office workers to join the survey.
They can either scan the QR code to do the
survey on their smart phones or directly fill
in questionnaires on Ipads provided by the
booths. After finishing the form, participants
receive complimentary potted plants.
Results from all questionnaires will be
collected and analyzed by professors from
the School of Earth Science and Geological
Engineering. The conclusions reached will
then be released in the White Paper on
Urban Healthy Work Environment. It is believed that the research will produce a convictive report on work environments.
Yuexiu Property
Yuexiu Property is one of the 10 green
real estate properties in China. Over 31 years
it has received in total 194 awards for design
and scientific research at the state level,
ministry level, provincial level and municipal
level. It is also the recipient of three Zhan
Tianyou Civil Engineer Awards, being the
first enterprise in Guangzhou to achieve that
honor.
Yuexiu Financial Tower is a recently
launched piece of real estate under the
Yuexiu Property brand. Built with the goal
of becoming a high-end, environmentally
friendly and convenient office building,
Yuexiu Financial Tower attaches priority to a
green and healthy work environment: a scientific lighting system is applied while a solar energy system is adopted to provide part
of the needed electricity; a roof garden and
sunshine basements are arranged to utilize
the space reasonably; bicycle parking lots
are built to encourage green travel; rain and
condensation are collected for recycling.
One of the supporting offices of the research, Yuexiu Financial Tower is the first
high-rise building in South China to receive
LEED Gold Certification from the United
States Green Building Council and National
3-Star Green Building Certification. Triplelayer, ultra-white glass is used to block
sunlight and noise effectively. The internal
fresh air volume is increased by 33 percent,
reaching 40 cubic meters per hour per person, far higher than the national standard
which is 30 cubic meters per hour per person. A double-layer air filtration system and
photocatalytic air cleaning system are added
together to the centralized air conditioning
system. Such system is able to block 99 percent of PM2.5 and other harmful particles.
All of these distinctive features will create a
comfortable and healthy work environment.

COOL SHOP
Prestigious Clock Shop
With a design that has remained unchanged since the very first pendulum-based
unit was birthed by Dutchman Christiaan
Huygens in 1656, grandfather clocks are a
stately method of monitoring the hours. When
chosen carefully, these large items of furniture
evolve from a mere timepiece into an eyecatching and classic interior decor feature.
Today’s market has many different styles
to choose from, even if there aren’t outlets
aplenty.
With a face-giving name, Prestigious
Clock Shop in Shenzhen Watch Market offers
many choices for those wishing to exhibit a bit
of panache and disposable income. The shop
itself is designed as a giant grandfather clock,
standing at the crossroads of Zhengxin Lu, as
if symbolizing the forks in life’s path as time
ticks away.
Grandfather clocks have never been
cheap. In fact, today they can set buyers back
between RMB5,000 and 150,000, depending on the quality and history. Many find
traditional examples a tad old fashioned, so
it’s worth taking a look at the contemporary
offerings that are more in tune with modern
design concepts.
For the collector of objet d’art, however,
the antique variety still holds great charm,
incorporating shelf space for displaying other
ornaments and handicrafts. Those looking for
a cheaper alternative to a full-sized grandfather clock can also opt for Prestigious Clock
Shop’s range of floor clocks amongst its two
stories of products, which come in all shapes
and sizes. Often battery powered, these may
not be welcomed by grandfather clock purists,
but the more modest price tags may appeal to
those who want to add some classy flair to the
home without breaking the bank or incurring
onerous maintenance duties.
Regardless of which longcase clock
customers end up choosing, any new horological device is sure to be a treasured family
heirloom for years to come. As time goes by
and waistlines expand, hairlines recede and
dreams of yesterday increase in frequency,
the enjoyment and satisfaction provided by a
clock of prestigious stature remains the same.

TCM
Trimming the fat
Be prepared for some unabashed analysis
of the not-so-svelte areas of your body if you
want to see what TCM can do to help you shed
some pounds. The moment you walk into the
doctor’s office, your stomach will be exposed
to some firm squeezing, twisting and rubbing
to determine what kind of fat you are packing.
As Dr. He Lusi explains, blood tests are
first done to rule out diabetes and to identify
which internal organ may be the cause. This
will also decide the placement of the acupuncture needles – if the spleen function is
weak, points along the body will be chosen to
strengthen it. This type of acupuncture can
be a touch painful, unlike routine sessions, as
wind or humidity is driven out of the body.
If you are looking for a quick fix, TCM
cannot help you. Dr. He explains it is best
to treat it as a program, and she insists that
exercise must be done 20 minutes a day to
complement the 30 rounds of acupuncture
that are the norm, while assuring results will
be seen.
On the plus side, with TCM weight loss
you don’t have to battle with your diet. “Eat
anything, just not too much of it,” says Dr.
16
He. Over-eating is symptomatic of a problem
with the stomach that acupuncture can also
sort out.
There are simpler solutions for those
who show no underlying problem – a bit of
jelly in the belly responds to massage well,
which will improve circulation and disperse
wind caught in the fat.
Excess blubber can also be
affected by panty
preference. The
Chinese believe
that precious qi
leaves the body
right below the
belly button.
Low-rise underwear popular
with the modern woman is
therefore a great
source of loss of
qi, according to
Dr. He, making
it harder for the
body to get rid of tummy fat. She prescribes
some high-waisted undies, worn above the
navel. Guess Granny always knew best. JK

SPA
Lotus Spa
A flower in full bloom, Lotus Spa is invitingly nestled in Coastal Rose Garden and
offers a plethora of indulgent treatments:
massages, facials, electrolysis, waxing, dieting therapies and breast enlargement techniques.
Traditional remedies are backed up by
some focused options that include lymphatic
drainage, spot-based sport massage and a
Swiss regimen involving the banking nation’s
homegrown Selvert products. Brand new to
Lotus’ menu is the "high-energy permeation"
treatment (RMB680/once, RMB3,980/15
sessions), which is unique in Shenzhen and
as yet lacks a proper English name or a place
in the spa’s catalog.
Designed primarily for plump people
who don’t want to exercise, this high-heat
massage comes courtesy of a machine imported from Korea, which is affixed with
a warmed mirror that’s placed under the
stomach and a hand-held workman-type
tool with a disc-shaped head. After massage
gel is liberally applied to the back, which is
the sole area treated alongside shoulders
and love handles, the machine heats up the
massage tool and mirror to fully target the
core.
The idea behind the heat treatment is
multi-faceted: first, the heat plus massage
action loosens up those stubborn fat cells,
which then dissolve in the blood; second, the
metabolism is given a kick-start to get those
enzymes working to annihilate calories;
third, toxins are expunged from the body
after the heat opens up the pores and sweat
flows torrentially.
The first and third premises of this massage panorama means that recipients must not
shower until the pores close some three to four
hours later. Additionally – and for reasons we
suspect have unverified roots in Chinese medicine – iced drinks should not be consumed
within a couple of hours, and the corpulent
among us shouldn’t eat within two hours of the
treatment, lest all the good work be undone.
The massage itself is professionally delivered, soothing and unexpectedly tiring (in a
good way). It’s best suited, though, for those
who unashamedly embrace sedentary living
and seek a shortcut to sweating out calories
and toxins. The active can enjoy a sport massage, while hedonists can indulge in some
lymphatic drainage – in short, there’s something for everyone amongst Lotus Spa’s wide
array of services. GM

POLES APART
The respectable side of the art form with
China's national pole dancing team
BY MARIANNA CERINI AND TONGFEI ZHANG
A
s the lights go down in the crowded
hall of Tianjin Haihe Theater, over
200 audience members – an assorted mix of children, the middleaged and giggling young couples – fall into an
expectant hush. Moments later, a lithesome
woman clad in sky-high leather platforms,
spandex shorts and a low-cut glittering bra
appears on stage. Walking slowly but determinedly, she approaches a vertical pole.
If this were a strip club, she’d be pouting and batting her lashes. Instead, her face
is tense and focused, her eyes transfixed by
the metal post in front of her. Suddenly and
without warning, she grabs hold of the pole
and swings herself upward, before striking a
pose two feet from the ground.
She is one of a dozen or so performers at China’s National Pole Dancing Show,
an annual event held in the northern port
of Tianjin that aims to promote one of the
country’s newest – and perhaps most controversial – fitness practices.
Over the course of the next two hours,
athletic and decidedly skimpily dressed men
and women take turns shimmying up the
pole, contorting their bodies into gravitydefying stances.
Deadly serious and undeniably dedicated, they all show a sense of showmanship
that has little to do with the raunchy gentlemen’s club image more commonly associated
with pole dancing. The audience, for its part,
sits in respectful awe.
First introduced to the country in the
mid-2000s, the activity is nudging its way
into China’s mainstream exercise and sport
market, with increasing numbers of gyms
and dance schools offering classes.
In 2011, an official China Pole Dance
Sports and Training Center (CPDSTC) was
established in Tianjin. With it came the
creation of a professional, full-time Chinese
national team consisting of some 16 men and
women aged 20 to 30, who live and train on
site. Pioneers in the discipline, they consider
themselves to be professional athletes – and
are determined to help transform the public
perception of their sport.
At the Haihe Theater, it is these dedicated few who perform the show’s closing
routine, a dramatic piece blending ballet,
acrobatics and gymnastics. It’s a powerful,
remarkable act.
“Pole dancing is an art form yet to be

coming in every year.

she will get kicked

thought
lead » LIFE & STYLE
fully discovered,” says Yuan Biao, the team’s
general coach, a few days after the event. “As
a dance that includes movements both in the
air and on the ground, it combines beauty
and power like few other disciplines. If I
were to define it in any way, that would be it:
beauty and power.”
Yuan holds a pivotal role in efforts to
ramp up the country’s competitive edge. A
former lawyer, he gave up his career and
later sold his house and car in order to help
promote the sport full-time. Unable to secure
government funding, Yuan made contact
with the World Pole Dancing Federation
in 2010 to enquire about the possibility of
holding a nationwide competition in the
Chinese Mainland.
“Everybody around me thought I was
completely crazy,” he says. “But I liked the
challenge.”
Shortly after, the federation allowed
him to organize the discipline’s first China
Championships, in which contenders from
across the country are selected for international-level tournaments. The contest, now
in its fourth edition, attracts 100 to 200 participants each year.
Meanwhile, Yuan became the first and
only Chinese judge at the annual World Pole
Dancing Championships, a contest that this
year saw contenders from 14 countries,
including Argentina, New Zealand, Russia,
Brazil and Cyprus, travel to the UK to compete in doubles, singles, men’s and women’s
categories.
The Chinese team led by Yuan has participated in the event since 2012. Although
victory remains elusive, the team has made
notable showings and recently won awards
for choreography and single performances.
Yuan is confident that, by next year, they will
make it into the world’s top three.
Back home, recognition has been slowly
picking up. “It has been a tough run, but
mindsets have changed enormously since we
started,” he says.
Nonetheless, many Chinese disapprove
of the sport’s sexual movements and continue to view pole dancing as unruly and licentious. In a society that traditionally dictates
that women be loyal, faithful and modestly
dressed, public opinion still considers the
discipline to be lowly and pornographic.
Still, the number of pole dancing courses
held across the country suggests attitudes
towards the sport are shifting, albeit slowly.
“It remains a sport for a select few,” says
19
LIFE & STYLE « lead
What we do is
a form of stage
drama. It's serious
work for us
Meng Yifan, the national team captain. “But
a lot of people change their views on it after
watching us perform. What we do is a kind
of stage drama – none of that sleazy stuff you
see in bars or clubs. It’s serious work for us.”
Statuesque and slender, 30-year-old
Tianjin native Meng has the appearance of
a prima ballerina. Her abdomen is perfectly
chiseled, her thighs toned and slim. As she
ascends the pole during practice at CPDSTC,
she appears fierce and effortless in her swift
movements.
A childhood spent studying ballet, jazz
and folk dance accounts for much of Meng’s
athleticism. Her attraction to pole dancing,
on the other hand, comes from the web. In
2005, she saw a video of a pole dancing performance online that, she says, “completely
20
opened my eyes.”
“I had this idea of pole dancing as an
overtly sexy thing. Watching that video however, I found it to be something else entirely.
A dance form in its own right.”
As the CPDSTC did not yet exist at the
time, Meng decided to teach herself the
moves of the discipline. She bought a pole
and installed it in her house and, once she
honed her skills, filmed a video that she
then submitted to the World Pole Dance
Championship. The clip got her into the international tournament, making her the first
Chinese citizen to be invited to the competition.
“That was 2010. I ended up not taking
part because of visa issues. Before I applied
for the 2011 contest, Yuan had founded
China’s national team and we started attending as a group.”
Training for competitions, both local and
international, takes serious commitment. Of
the 16 team members – 11 female and five
male dancers – only seven are allowed to enter international tournaments. The selection
process is ruthless. Entrants are judged on a
number of areas, from strength and aesthetics to performance and flexibility; the height
of the pole and the duration of the song are
also taken into account. Points are deducted
mercilessly – a minor slip or a bent leg could
cost a contender qualification to the next
round.
Clothing and dance styles are also
scrutinized. In order to escape the sleazy
undertones that often characterize non-com-

nor one that is easy on the physique.
“I once fell from a three-meter-high pole and hit both my
knees hard on the ground,” says Song Yao, who came second in
2011’s China Pole Dance Championship and is ranked number 17
in the world. “It took me almost a year to recover fully.”
One of the team’s latest additions, Yan Xu, a strikingly tall,
sculpted boy of 20, broke his collarbone in a similar accident.
Both seem undeterred by such mishaps.
“Pole dancing is something that proves my worth and existence,” Yan says. “When we perform, it is as if we’re flying in the
sky.”
The Beijing-born athlete, who first started pole dancing in
2008 after watching shows on the Internet, won last year’s China
Pole Dance Championships and thus qualified to join the national
team. Earlier this year, he came fifth in the world tournament.
The achievement has propelled Yan’s confidence as a team
member but has also proven decisive in his personal life. For the
first time since starting to pole dance he has reconnected with
his family, which he had previously been estranged from because
of the sport.
His case is not isolated. While the sport is gaining new credentials, its champions are keenly aware of the challenges they
face in a society where traditional values prevail. For most pole
dancers, dealing with and changing the preconceived notions of
their loved ones has become part of the job.
Song didn’t tell her family about her training until she was
ranked in the world championship. “They all thought I was trying to become a singer,” she recalls. “When my dad first saw me
dancing on the pole he was like, ‘What are you doing up there?
Acrobatics?’ The idea of pole dancing as a career hadn’t crossed
his mind at all.”
Once she began training professionally, Meng told only her
parents. “Friends and relatives would have found it indecent and
hard to accept. Now that they have seen me performing, however,
the misunderstandings have gone.”
In embracing pole dancing these athletes represent an urban
youth whose values are at odds with those of their parents. But
older generations are also more prone to misunderstand the allure
of the pole that, for these dancers at least, bestows strength, selfcontrol and rewards seldom matched in their other life pursuits.
“Sexiness is only one part of the whole thing,” says Yan. “The
real appeal is all about how impressive and empowering ruling
the pole can be.”
Meng Yifan displaying some seriously mind-boggling skills
petitive shows, official pole dancing contests have introduced strict
rules about performers’ outfits. While legs and feet must be bare to
grasp the pole, the standard uniform is shorts, T-shirt and special
hand powder or gel to improve grip, although heels might be worn
for specific acts.
At CPDSTC, most dancers teach classes during the day, while
professional practice runs from 8pm to 11.30pm. Before major tournaments, these sessions can go on until two in the morning. Stamina
and consistent performance levels are key. “We get fresh blood
coming in every year,” says Yuan. “So if any old member is lagging
behind, he or she will get kicked out without a second thought.”
A typical training session begins with stretches, followed by
lifts, lunges, splits and extensive core-strengthening exercises. It’s a
tough routine, culminating in pole moves that seem to defy gravity –
athletes grip the metal stick with a single foot or several fingers, or
launch themselves into high-intensity choreographed routines. As
bodies tense in concentration, it’s common to spot purple bruises
on the dancers’ thighs and bare feet. This is neither a forgiving sport

hether you’re beach bound or planning to play it cool by the pool, swimwear will play a key role
in your summer wardrobe. Forget that 'bikini body' bollocks: no one is really going to care about

SAN FRANCISCO
Fad and fancy
BY MONICA LIAU
S
an Francisco. There is perhaps no
other city in America where worlds
so collide. It is the big affability of the
West partnered with an insular, community feel. Bright and sunny one moment, the
next imbued in dour sheets of bone-chilling fog
– which the locals affectionately call “Karl.”
Hippie culture, mystics, techies and hipsters all vie for elbow room in a scene trying to
find the middle road between its grungy dropout past and today’s shinier version. Eating in
San Francisco is to be under a constant barrage
of these influences; it is a taste of where the
city has been and the places it has yet to go.
At its base, the food relies on the greatness
and diversity of California’s crops. The Golden
State enjoys some of America’s most fertile
lands, growing nearly half of the country’s
fruits, veggies and nuts. San Francisco’s markets bloom with this vitality. One could literally
attend a farmers’ market every day of the week
around the city. There are at least five going on
each Saturday. More on Sundays.
One Saturday morning, after gawking at
the 360-degree vistas offered at the peak of
Bernal Heights Park, we begin to totter gingerly down a perilously steep hill searching
for one market in particular. Walking in this
neighborhood is like having sea legs after a
long voyage. The sidewalk lurches up at us at
unexpected moments, stubbing our toes and
keeping us on guard.
Row houses after lilting row houses are a
24
sight to behold, half-overrun with bourgeanvilla and cheerfully clutching to their sometimes near-vertical foothold. Fragrant bushes
of rosemary grow out from between fence slats
and pepper trees reach their gnarled knuckles
towards the street.
We finally arrive, gasping, in a parking lot
where produce is being slung full swing. The
Bernal Heights Farmers Market offers a vibrant
mash of sturdy vegetables, exotic fruits and
hippie microgreens. Barrels brim with exciting
things: cherries dark and full, liable to explode
from their lustrous black-red skins. Late strawberries, US$2 a bushel and syrupy from the
sun. Ripe peaches that smell like the Fourth of
July. Fat walnuts and mysterious mint-green
pistachios peeking from their creamy shells.
Collards, Valencia oranges and mulberries,
glowing with a smug health that seems to permeate the city. Everything beckons: taste me,
eat me.
Clientele also run the gamut. Reasonable
prices and accessibility allow single mothers and Food Stamp bearers to haggle with
Chinese vendors over bok choy, side by side
with yuppies fingering shiitake mushrooms
and hipster-looking men, bespeckled and
bearded, poking suspiciously at sexy cherimoyas.
This reverence for local produce prevails
in restaurants around town, from the tried and
true to the brand new. At Zuni Café, we eat at
the movement’s heart. Twenty-six years ago,
Chef Judy Rodgers took over the kitchen and
seduced the city with her lust for produce that
was not only local and seasonal, but perfect.
Her inspiring philosophy, untraditional ingredients and attention to detail swept the nation, drawing America’s eyes away from tired
canned vegetables and wan iceberg lettuce,
pushing chefs to re-establish a sense of where
their food originated. Though she herself never
became as famous as Thomas Keller or Alice
Waters – two other pioneers of this movement
– her philosophy has had as much, if not more,
impact on the way people romanticize their
dinner.
The great woman passed away last
Christmas, but her presence lives on at Zuni,
where a plate of tiny potatoes – confited in
olive oil and sprinkled with parsley and mint
– is stunning enough to stop conversation.
The warm, comforting dining room is packed
with regulars who have mostly reached middle
age, and it’s easy to see why they return again
and again. The greatness of her famous (and
frequently cited) roasted chicken alone is difficult to explain – the commonplace elevated to
something unrelentingly excellent.
Part of the secret behind the ridiculously
succulent bird is Rodgers' method of packing
the fowl with salt overnight before cooking it
in the open fire. It arrives perched over a bread
salad made from hearty San Francisco sourdough, studded with currants, surprising little
pine nuts and lightly pickled onion, topped
travel » LIFE & STYLE
with a frizzled char of mustard greens. It is a
dish that needs no other moving part, and one
we would come back for time and again and
happily pay the US$42. Zuni may seem a little
old fashioned with its quiet bistro fare, but
there is a satisfaction diners here experience
that many of the trendier restaurants around
town will never live to fulfil.
On another night, we try one of those hipper spots. The Hillside Supper Club is tucked
at the edge of a park in another quiet corner
of Bernal Heights, owned by young chefs who
originally made their names organizing pop-up
dining events around town, before settling in
the current space, formerly a traditional Italian
trattoria. The ghost of Rodgers shines through
on the menu, on which the farm and locale of
many ingredients are listed. However, the exuberance of youth can be tasted in compilations
altogether less common.
We dine on grilled local sardines dressed
up in salsa verde and a remarkable homemade
liverwurst, gamey rounds perched atop a
cheerful entwinement of strawberries, parsley
and crispy shaved asparagus. Later on, goat
potpie is brought to the table, billowing into
the atmosphere with a golden crust.
It is not as self-confident a meal as our one
at Zuni, but it also speaks of another step of the
food movement here, which crosses borders
and borrows from the many immigrant populations who’ve made San Francisco their home,
from Mexico to the Middle Kingdom.
Great Central American food in particular
can be found the city over, and should be feasted on constantly. On Wednesdays, shoppers at
the Mission Street Farmers Market recharge
with pulled chicken doused in tomatillo and
homemade empanadas, the soft hominy casing
served with charcoal griddle marks and hiding
a wealth of queso fresco and refried beans.
There are new wave tofu tacos to be found
along with the trendsetters at Papalote, where
the seating is tightly regulated and the guacamole is divine. For something late night and
utterly satisfying, head a few blocks over for
the tacos al pastor at El Farolito, which should
be enjoyed hunched over the chipped yellow
tables. Yell out your order. Listen carefully for
your number.
Since the 1980s, San Francisco has exploded and expanded. Castro Street, once the
center of radical movements for gay rights, is
now awash in tourists with fanny packs. We
take refuge in one of the last spots that still
maintains its sense of the neighborhood – the
legendary Anchor Oyster Bar, whose tiny 25seat space has been watching over its patch of
road since 1977. Here we cozy up with grumpy
locals over a half-dozen pristine oysters. Later,
a gruff waitress plunks a bowl of clams in front
of us, steamed with lemon and grassy sprigs of
thyme. We try not to look so out of place, but
we’re near-giddy by the experience.
There are also those ventures notorious
for fads that are, on their surface, ridiculous
to the point of cartoonish. Wheatgrass shots
and cold-pressed juices at every turn. Pizza
covered in exotic items like pineapple and,
later, roast duck. Coffee tending towards single
origin and self-roasted.
San Francisco’s
markets bloom with
vitality. One could
literally attend a
farmers market every
day of the week
around the city
Of those caffeine-slingers, Radical Roasters
and Four Barrels, both with shops on Valencia
Street, are indubitable superstars of the moment. The bustling citadels cater to those with
a tendency towards tight pants, tattoos and
out-of-control facial hair. The crowds tend to
look very serious reading their hard-copy novels or drawing in leather-bound sketchbooks.
It verges on the humorous, but the espressos
are lovingly drawn and delicious – and despite
our un-hipster tennis shoes, we are welcomed
to a seat.
Many of these manias, however, do hold
a kernel of sincerity at their center, a beacon
of earnestness that comes from a great depth.
Take, for instance, the latest to hit in a big way:
San Francisco’s infatuation with artisanal toast,
priced at nearly US$4 a slice. The mainstream
media has chortled and scoffed over the pricey
bread, hailing it as a symbol of everything
that’s wrong with a fad-obsessed food culture.
After leaving Bernal Heights Farmers
Market behind, we dash across a four-lane
highway and venture into the Bayview area
– far from the trendy vibes of the Mission
District – determined to check out the spot
where this toast fad is rumored to have begun.
Along the wide, quiet roads, the creep of
gentrification seems to have slowed. The pretty townhouses on undulating topography have
been exchanged for a flatter landscape dotted
by naked-looking single family homes. Many of
the yards lie unkempt and sunburned.
We are searching for the second branch
of Trouble Coffee, following on the trail of
an article (and later, an episode on the radio
show This American Life) published by John
Gravois in January. He wrote about a woman,
Giulietta Carrelli, who started selling coffee,
coconuts and toast in the neighborhood as a
way to help tether her to a community; she had
schizoaffective disorder, and this shop was a
way for her to have a sense of place. Little did
she know that, in a few months, wildly trendy
places in the city center would take up her
quiet, personal revolution.
The cafe is about the size of a shoebox and
easy to miss. On the door is their manifesto:
“Build your own damn house.” It’s a reference
to how Carrelli had to work hard to get her life
together and build herself a community of her
own – and she wants to encourage others to
do the same. On the menu: coconuts for sustenance, espresso for fuel and that notorious
toast for comfort.
The thick pieces of bread have been
toasted under the eagle eye of our friendly
barista, snatched from the oven warm and
served dripping with butter and cinnamon
sugar. Munching on the simple creation, we
really only have one thought… this is pretty
good.
We watch local residents come and go,
fueling up on caffeine and sugar and hailing
each other as friends. A woman in bike shorts
strikes up a conversation with another man in
bike shorts. They exchange business cards and
go their separate ways. Many people make a
pit-stop with their puppies in tow.
After finishing our toast, we wander off
in search of the trolley that will take us home.
Rumbling along, we consider why it has been
so easy to fall in love with this over-the-top
city: San Francisco seems to embrace it all.
There is the red, white and blue brashness, the
pride of a multi-ethnic scene and a tendency
towards hyperbole all rolled into one. An inclination towards navel-gazing that yet comes
across as genial. Even loveable. And certainly
delicious.

In May 1809, Vienna was under attack from the French army. Europe was still being racked by the destructive Napoleonic Wars, and Bonaparte himself was advancing on Austria’s capital, bombarding the
city with cannon. In the midst of this terrifying siege, Beethoven was striving to complete several works,
perhaps most notably his fifth piano concerto. A heroic anthem that occasionally verges on the martial –
yet contains plenty of humor – it has since become known by the majestic moniker Emperor. Doubtless
the composer would have balked at the name, since he would almost certainly have associated the word
with Napoleon, whom Beethoven had come to despise for his imperial ambitions; the fact that the French
commander was besieging Beethoven’s adopted home would have done little to alleviate these feelings.
Nevertheless, the word seems apropos considering the grand tone of the concerto, which goes from bold
to reflective, with a dash of ostentation and virtuosic showing off on the part of the piano. Beethoven’s
final concerto, it has also been described as his most accessible.

ARTISTRY ON ICE
A Song of Ice and Fire
BY ZOEY ZHA
Four years ago, China’s most celebrated ice skating pair, Zhao Hongbo and Shen Xue, captured the country’s
first-ever Olympic skating gold. Despite retiring shortly after, they remain ambassadors to the sport, appearing
in an ice skating extravaganza. Now on its fourth annual tour, Artistry on Ice returns to Guangzhou at the
Guangzhou International Sports Arena on August 1 – a cool alternative to the summer heat.

Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo
Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir
“When we were asked what we planned
to do after retiring from the national team
in 2009, we said we wanted to hold a figure
skating-themed event in China. It is our
dream,” Zhao explains. “It came true a year
later.”
The couple admits that figure skating
hasn’t quite taken over the country’s imagination like it has in places like South Korea,
but that’s not for lack of effort.
Without question, the couple has helped
bridge ice sports with a local audience. Since
partnering in 1992, when Shen was 14 and
Zhao 19, the pair continuously set Chinese
records, winning recognition for the country
with their elite technique and performance.
They finished fifth at their first Winter
Olympic Games at Nagano in 1998 and
evolved into an elite team: three World
Championships, six Grand Prix of Figure
Skating Finals and four Asian Winter Games
gold medals.
Their bronze medal at the 2002 Winter

Artistry on Ice has
be come an annual
event, pairing world
champions with
famous Asian singers
in a splashy package
Olympics in Salt Lake City was the first time
a Chinese skating pair had won an Olympic
medal. They added another bronze in 2006
at Turin before capturing the elusive gold
medal in 2010, setting a world record for
points in the process, ending Russia’s 46year hold on the title and becoming the first
Chinese figure skaters of any kind to win
Olympic gold.
Two days afterwards they announced
their retirement and later tied the knot –
their wedding ceremony taking place at the
first Artistry on Ice. That initial show was
also their curtain call, as they performed in
front of adoring home audiences one last
time.
Since then, Artistry on Ice has become an
annual event, pairing world champion skaters with famous Asian singers in a splashy
package. Sex and the City’s Sarah Jessica
Parker served as a fashion consultant in
2011, while Tom Cruise’s baby momma Katie
Holmes acted as brand ambassador in 2012.
“We had actually been touring around
North America and Europe years ago and expected to introduce performances like those
in our own country,” Zhao says. “We sincerely
appreciate all the support we’ve received
with gratitude.”
Although the couple is happily focused
on their show, their exit from the professional stage has opened a path for a promising new pair.
Sui Wenjing and Han Cong were indi-
lead » ARTS
vidual single competitors when they paired
up in 2007, inspired by Shen and Zhao’s
Olympic exploits. Han believes it was destiny.
“I was looking for a partner when I
watched Xiao Jingjing [Sun Wenjing’s nickname] in competition. She outshone others in terms of techniques and performing
skills,” he says. "I went straight to her and
asked if she could be my partner.”
Sui’s instant acceptance surprised and
delighted him, but Han admits he still asked
if she would be afraid. Her response: “My
other name is Liu Hulan.”
(Liu Hulan was a revered 14-year-old
martyr who was infamously beheaded in
1946 by Kuomintang officials after refusing
to renounce her allegiance to the Communist
Party. She is a domestic symbol of heroism.)
It turns out that Han is right to believe in
fate. The two have won three straight World
Junior Championships, one national championship and two Four Continents Figure
Skating Championships, where in 2012 they
matched Shen and Zhao by becoming the
eighth couple to land an elusive over 200plus score with a personal best of 201.83.
Known for technically ambitious moves
like the quadruple Salchow and quadruple
twist throw, the two are a natural fit on the
Artistry on Ice lineup. Transitioning from a
competition setting to the unique extravaganza doesn’t phase Han.
“They’re quite alike in general because
they require us all to present our best performances,” he says. “If there are any differences, it’s the light effects.”
On that front, Zhao is proud to say that
the show will feature an upgrade on their
visual effects and stereo projection. Apart
from the visual flair, Artistry on Ice includes
Russia’s leading pair skaters Volosozhar and
Trankov, 'Spinning Prince' Stephane Lambiel
and Olympic gold medal-winning ice dancers
Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir.
“Sochi Olympics skating champion
Evgeni Plushenko will be part of this,” Zhao
adds. “It couldn’t be more fabulous.”
Meanwhile, Sui and Han are playing it
cool. “It will be fun,” says Han. “We’ll leave
the rest for the audience to find out.”
One thing the crowd can expect is a fresh
interpretation of Farewell My Concubine by
Zhao and three-time US national champion
Johnny Weir, also known as the Lady Gaga of
the Ice.
“The piece we chose calls for a perfect
combination of manliness and softness
which will be breathtaking,” Zhao says.
“Johnny Weir is a unique figure skater and
we are glad that he is fond of this music. Now
that everything is set, we are ready to skate.”

A POST-80S BATTLE
Han Han and Guo Jingming go head to head
BY ZOEY ZHA AND ANDREW CHIN
This month sees releases by two of China’s most polarizing and successful writerturned-filmmakers. Guo Jingming returns with the third chapter of the coming-of-age
Tiny Times saga, while perpetual smartass Han Han debuts with Never Meet Again.
The two are inextricably linked as prodigious writing talents that define the post-1980s
sensibility. But how do they compare?
Guo Jingming
Title: China’s richest writer
Weibo Stats: 32 million followers
Style: A celebration of all things commercial and cosmopolitan. Why does he fetishize luxury brands? Because he can.
Image: Pop star. Diminutive and impeccably dressed – a teen
idol that’s image obsessed and proud of it.
Doogie Howser cred: Lands a poem in a national magazine
at 14. In high school, he wins first prize at the national New
Concept Writing competition two years in a row.
First book: At 20, publishes City of Fantasy. It sells 1.5 million
copies and remains beloved even by Guo haters.
Highlights: Routinely tops China’s Richest Writers list and
made Forbes’ Richest Chinese List in 2012 with an annual
income of RMB27.6 million. First two Tiny Times films were
released last year and collectively made over US$100 million.
Lowlights: Voted Most Hated Male Celebrity three years in
a row on the popular online forum Tianya.com. Was found
guilty of plagiarizing in 2006. Despite being nicknamed ‘Super Plagiarism Boy’ and paying the RMB200,000 fine, Guo refuses to apologize or admit
fault.
On Han Han: ”To be honest, I am not fond of talking about him since we are, after all, not that familiar.”
New project: Tiny Times 3.0 continues the saga of four upper-class Shanghai girls trying to have it all … and succeeding! Out July 17.
Han Han
Title: China’s most popular blogger
Weibo Stats: 38 million followers
Style: Outspoken, sardonic and blunt. He’s mocked everything
from modern poetry to Super Girl.
Image: Too cool to care. Slender and sloppily dressed in raggedy
clothes. Recently honored on Weibo as “the head of laborers.”
Doogie Howser cred: Publishes first essay Unhappy Days in middle school. Wins the New Concept Writing Competition in his

Lowlights: Popular blogger calls out Han’s success saying that
all credit should go to his father and PR team that actually wrote
all Han’s blogs. Other Weibo celebrities like science writer Fang
Zhouzi join in. Han files a lawsuit. Last year, more doubt is cast as people buzz about whether he made a writing competition’s awards list.
On Guo Jingming: “I don’t have an opinion on him but on his fans. I might be unfortunate to step on shit, but they place their heads in it.”
New project: We Won’t Meet Sooner is a coming-of-age road trip movie. In the preview, a man gives a lengthy lecture to one of the kids, only to be
told to “Shut up!” Out July 24.

FACT FILE: RICHARD MARX
Everything you need to know about the pop balladeer
BY TOM LEE
Name: Richard Noel Marx – less political
than Karl and not quite as funny as Groucho,
but a better singer-songwriter than either,
we’d wager.
Hometown: The Windy City, aka Chicago,
Illinois. Make sure you keep the comments
positive when you’re in the area, as he
will come to your local bar and give you a
stern talking to if you insult him in a blog
post. That, at least, was what happened to
writer and author Edward McClelland after
he made a throwaway comment about
Marx being “shameless.” Anonymous
Internet trolls, Marx is coming for
you next!
Best-selling single: ‘Right
Here Waiting,’ a number-one
hit on the Billboard 100.
Marx almost didn’t even sing
the song, which he originally
pitched to Barbra Streisand.
In a CBS interview, Marx revealed that she responded
by saying: “I love this music,
this melody is gorgeous, but if
I’m going to record it, I’m going to need you to rewrite the
lyrics because I’m not going
to be right here waiting for
anybody.” The track
has since been
covered
by
Cliff Richard, Bonnie Tyler, Barry Manilow
and Julio Iglesias, among many others.
Other number ones sung by Marx: ‘Hold
On to the Nights,’ a classic example of the
80s ballad, and the more upbeat ‘Satisfied.’
Together with ‘Right Here Waiting,’ Marx
managed to score three consecutive number
ones.
Name dropping: In his songwriting capacity,
the Chicagoan has helped pen
hits for many musicians, including
‘N Sync, Keith
Urban and
Josh Groban.
And while
Streisand
might have
passed on
‘Right Here
Waiting,’ she
later recorded other tracks
conceived by
Marx.
Why he owes
Lionel Richie big
time: Though Marx
first began singing for
his Dad’s commercial
jingles, he got his
shot at stardom
thanks to
Lionel
Richie.
As he
put
it in an interview earlier this year: “My life
would look a lot different if not for him. He
called me up when I was 18… my number
was written on the back of a cassette of
demos that he actually listened to. He said
he thought I was talented. It was like Michael
Jordan saying ‘nice jump shot.’ I graduated
high school soon thereafter, went to LA, and
he invited me to stop by his studio to meet
him. Next thing I know he’s got me singing
background vocals on ‘You Are,’ which became a massive hit. He then recommended
me to Kenny Rogers as a backup singer, and
I ended up writing a couple hits with Kenny,
and my career took off from there.”
Last month, CNN
named Richard Marx
as the shooter in a
violent attack on a
Georgia courthouse
that left one deputy
injured
Grammy Award: Won Song of the Year for
co-authoring Luther Vandross’ 2003 hit
‘Dance with My Father.’ Both men had lost
their fathers long before work on the song
commenced, fueling the collaboration.
Breaking news: Last month, CNN named
Richard Marx as the shooter in a violent attack on a Georgia courthouse that left one
deputy injured. The news network later corrected their mistake: it wasn’t the pop balladeer but a man named Dennis Marx who
was involved in the incident. Whoops…
Keep a look out for: His latest album,
Beautiful Goodbye, released on July 8.

MONEY! MONEY! MONEY!
China’s six richest artists
BY ANDREW CHIN
As the great philosopher Jay-Z is fond of saying, “Men lie, women lie, numbers don’t.” While art is subjective, sales aren’t. As China’s
contemporary art matures, many of its leading artists are raking in that filthy lucre. The Hurun Art List recently released their roster of bestselling Chinese artists alive today based on last year’s sales. Here’s an introduction to the top six who are furthering their country’s art while
raking it in. Kerching!
Zeng Fanzhi
SALES: US$84 million
No Mainland artist had a better year than
Zeng. Last October, he set a new record for
contemporary Asian artwork when ‘The Last
Supper’ sold for US$23.3 million. It was one of
a prodigious 74 pieces that were snatched up
at auctions last year. Remarkable considering
the Wuhan native dropped out of high school
and had his first major sale in 1998 selling
‘Mask Series No 6’ to a visiting American tourist for US$16,000. That piece would be auctioned off a decade later for US$9.7 million.
Huang Yongyu
Fan Zeng
SALES: US$82.7 million
For the fifth straight year, Fan has
made Hurun’s top 5, including topping the 2011 list. He sold 357 pieces
last year and is revered for exploring
traditional Chinese painting with his
fantastic ink work. His simple style
can be traced to his family lineage – 13
generations of artists that go all the
way back to the Song Dynasty.
Zhu Dequn
The 94-year-old artist was, along with Wu Guanzhong and
Zao Wou-Ki, part of the Three Musketeers of modernist
Chinese artists who learned Western art in France during the
1950s. He’s praised for his pioneering fusion of traditional
Chinese painting techniques with Western abstract art and
has remained in Hurun’s Top 20 list since 2008. Last year, he
sold 79 pieces, but sadly just passed away on March 26.
He Jiaying
The 90-year-old, self-taught artist was the subject of a major
retrospective at the National Museum of China last summer.
He’s been credited for modernizing Chinese ink art and his
woodcut prints continue to astound. Lately, Huang has been
focusing on creating sculpture, and he releases a new animal
zodiac model each year.
It’s been a productive year for the
Tianjin Institute of Arts alumnus.
His solo exhibition at the European
Museum of Modern Art (MEAM) in
Barcelona last November was his
first on the continent. He’s fond of
painting modern figures, particularly female nudes with Chinese ink
wash, creating a unique style that
nods to the past while being wholly
present.
Cui Ruzhuo
The Li Kuchan protege is known for his innovative riffs on traditional Chinese ink
painting. Expect him to rise on next year’s list as he recently set a new auction record
with the April 7 sale of ‘Landscape in Snow’ that fetched US$23.7 million. However,
in a truly bizarre twist, the painting went missing days after with some suspecting that it may have accidently been thrown in the trash by a clearly non-art loving
cleaner.

THE INCARNATIONS
The past is never dead
BY AELRED DOYLE
B
urdened taxi driver
Wang struggles through
the choked city of
Beijing every day, doing his best to retain his dignity
and decency as he deals with the
tribulations of daily life. It could
be worse. At home are wife Yida
and daughter Echo, and as a
family they are keeping their
heads above water.
Then he starts getting long,
strange letters from somebody
who clearly knows a great deal
about him. In fact, the writer
claims to have known Wang
over five previous lives, as
lover and parent and friend,
from the Tang Dynasty to the
Cultural Revolution. Each new
letter describes one of those
lives, moving closer to the present each time.
Wang is thrown, and
quickly suspects a man from
his past. For Wang does in fact
have a past life. One that he has
chosen to forsake, with a rich,
corrupt father and a scheming
stepmother, and most painfully
the madness and death of his
mistreated mother, who was
gradually undone by being unable to lie to herself the way
everyone around her did.
Wang was committed in an
asylum for some time, and was
the lover of fellow inmate Zeng,
before putting that all behind
him. Or so he thought. Now he
finds Zeng again and accuses
him of being the anonymous author.
This is a beautifully structured novel,
and the interspersed letters describing previous lives are engrossing and sharp. These
past lives are too real to feel like mere metaphor. Cruelty, betrayal and slavery reoccur
over the centuries and are echoed in Wang’s
modern life.
Each letter is also a thrilling, vivid story,
with the young Jin Dynasty boys dragged
across the desert as slaves after Zhongdu
falls to the Mongols perhaps the most horrifying and effective. Palace concubines suffer
and finally plot murder; during the Opium
War, pirates kidnap and rape; schoolchildren turn on each other.
Each of these tales is rich in detail, and
Barker knows her stuff, allowing her to
Cruelty, betrayal and
slavery reoccur over
the centuries
poke fun at the genres she works inside,
such as the chatter that high-class Tang
Dynasty etiquette demands:
“Isn’t the spring weather fine? Aren’t
the cherry blossoms exquisite in bloom?
Isn’t the brevity of their flowering expressive of the transience of life? What splendid
cakes these are!”
Wang’s own story is less bloody and
dramatic than the tales in the letters, but
the same brutal forces continue to shape his
real life, in the same way that the endless
new towers shape the capital
– “the monuments to capitalism soaring up. Wang’s own
growth, in contrast, has been
stunted. China may be rising,
but he is not.”
But we are making this
sound like a heavy read, when
in fact we flew through it. The
prose is light and often witty,
and the characterization is one
of the book’s most impressive
aspects. Baldy Zhang, the crude
co-owner of Wang’s taxi, with
a contented routine of food,
sleep and online pornography,
is a comic delight, as well as
a symbolic counterpoint to
Wang’s anguished relationship
with day-to-day life.
Lin Hong, Wang’s stepmother, is a delicious creation,
vicious and cold as she cooly
wreaks revenge on her crippled
husband, but still understandable and even sometimes sympathetic. That said, we shiver
as much as Wang does at the
idea of her getting her claws
into Echo.
And then there’s Zeng, who
is brave and suffers for it –
electric shock therapy has left
him illiterate – but has found a
way to get by. The complicated
ripples that the letters create
in Wang’s life threaten to become waves to capsize Zeng yet
again. But here the idea of past
lives makes some sense, as the
two are drawn together again
for better or worse.
If every good novel is asking a question,
the question here is whether it’s possible to
live a decent life in an indecent world; which
is really the question of whether we can ever
be free. As the mysterious correspondent
tells him, “You long for transcendence, Driver
Wang. You long to escape the meaninglessness of your life. But first you must break free
of the human bondage holding you down.”
When the mystery of the letter-writer’s
identity is revealed, the truth turns out to be
both uplifting and horrifying. There is tragedy,
though perhaps not where the reader expects
it, but there is also hope. This is an extremely
satisfying and intelligent book; we’ll be seeking out Susan Barker’s two previous novels
and look forward to the next.

COVER STORY
A bottomless ceramic pot hidden away on the third floor of Beijing’s Liangma Antique Market has aroused the curiosity of the
Seychelles’ first and only ambassador to China, Philippe Le Gall. He stands contemplating the possible uses of the Qing Dynasty artifact
before presenting the shop owner with a French pastry and moving on.
“I like items that I can’t understand the purpose of,” he says with a smile.
Armed with a pocket magnifier and small flashlight, the 60-year-old diplomat will spend up to six hours each weekend visiting the
labyrinthine antique market, inspecting each of its countless stalls in succession. The fruits of his labor are on display back at his small
apartment, an attic-like space engulfed by a jumble of curios, including a wicker-bound model of King Kong from the 1970s and the bed
of a one-time imperial concubine (now adorned with toy pandas), one of the three between which he switches every night in accordance with his mood.
When not antique hunting, French-born Le Gall represents the interests of his nation. Home to just 90,000 people, the Seychelles’
population is less than 3 percent the size of Chaoyang, the Beijing urban district in which his one-floor embassy stands. Away from the
usual surrounds of the Chinese capital’s diplomatic compounds, the minnow operation sits apart from other missions, its reception
decorated with photos and coffee-table books boasting the country’s greatest tourist attraction: marine life.
35
“I spend a lot of time promoting the destination. [Tourism] is our bread and butter.
It employs a lot of Seychellois and it’s a top
priority,” he says.
The drive appears to be working. In
2010, his country receive around 1,000
Chinese tourists a year, today the number
stands at 8,000. The figures appear modest
by most country’s standards, but the shift towards Asia has proven timely as the volume
of visitors from the weakened Eurozone continues to decrease. The archipelago’s political stability and favorable time zone are also
promoted to Chinese businesspeople looking
to penetrate markets in nearby east Africa.
Having established its embassy seven
years ago, the Seychelles is one of a host of
micro-nations setting up in Beijing in search
of free-spending holidaymakers and direct
investment. With China's growing economic
weight, disposable income and willingness to
engage internationally, its ability to radically
transform the fortunes of small countries has
seen many governments re-orientate their
diplomatic endeavors away from traditional
bases in the West. But with so few resources
available to them, and so little political capital to bank on, these lonely diplomats face
a struggle against limited budgets as they
scrap for crumbs from the giant's table.
Consisting of just two or three representatives (alongside a small Chinese staff),
and often responsible for a swathe of east
and southeast Asian countries also within
their jurisdictions, these micro-embassies
stretch their focus across areas that larger
nations dedicate entire departments to.
Alongside the usual consular and political
work, they must also attract investment,
issue visas, arrange official visits and assist their citizens, though in the case of the
Seychelles, there are fewer than 70 currently
stationed in China.
It is easy to dismiss these embassies as
glorified travel agencies but their work is
wide-ranging. Promoting culture falls within

Le Gall's remit, though unlike larger nations
which have the resources to fund art swaps
and film festivals, the Seychellois ambassador’s efforts take a more modest form. In his
spare time, Le Gall is a writer.
"I write fiction, I write love stories, I
write detective stories," he says, before handing me one of his works, A Selection of Texts
on Seychelles and China. The opening line of
chapter one reads: "I happen to be a diplomat," and goes on (in English, French and
Mandarin) to discuss art, the Chinese sailors
landing in the Seychelles and the author’s
childhood dislike for cats.
When working on a book, Le Gall awakes
at 2am and then sleeps for two hours from
5am before beginning his day at the embassy.
He sees these works, and his body of novels,
as an important part of his diplomatic mission, while joking, with characteristic humility, that he is “not Hemingway."
“I do not speak Chinese and sometimes
I find it extremely frustrating not to have a
direct channel of communication. I find that
by writing books and having them published
in Chinese creates another kind of communication with people,” he says, leaning back on
a cream sofa in his small office. “We are the
guests, [the Chinese] are the hosts, and so
we should be the ones to take a step towards
them and show that, in spite of our ignorance and clumsiness, that we can still make
the effort. I think it facilitates contact.”
Le Gall admits that there are many in
China who are oblivious to his country’s very
existence. Building awareness underpins
many of these tiny embassies’ work and the
main barrier is often one of brand recognition, says the Maltese ambassador to China,
Clifford Borg-Marks, who invites me to the island’s apartment-cum-embassy in Sanlitun’s
Diplomatic Residence Compound.
“When people ask me, ‘Where are
you from?’ and I say that I’m from Ma’erta
[Malta], they say ‘Ah, Ma’erdaifu!' They think
I’m from the Maldives,” he says. “I’m tempted
to get T-shirts printed saying ‘I am not from
the Maldives’ because I get it all the time, including recently from a rather high official. I
was really not happy with that!” he exclaims
with a laugh, accepting that he must meet
mistakes with good humor “or life will become too dull.”
As Malta begins to focus its overseas efforts on emerging economies, Borg-Marks’
primary role is to attract Chinese investment
in areas such as energy, infrastructure and
life sciences. But, as with all the ambassadors
I speak with, he admits that there is a certain
frustration that accompanies his size, not
least the limited time to move beyond Beijing
and the lack of high-level access for visiting
ministers. As the only Mandarin speaker
among the three Maltese diplomats stationed
at the embassy, the ambassador also finds
himself responsible for simple administrative tasks and dealing with occasional prob-
38
When I was here
before, Chinese
people were afraid
to be seen with
foreigners – there
were a lot of secret
police around then
lems caused by his compatriots – “especially drunken ones,”
he jokes.
“The US embassy has over 1,000 people – specialists in
everything,” he says. “We have been dealing with anything
from agriculture to cultural exchanges. You have to juggle,
but that’s what makes it fun.”
“Even though we’re a small country, we have ambitions
to do big things with China,” he declares. “And there are advantages of being small. If [Chinese officials] need to see the
prime minister they see the prime minister.”
The ambassador of the Seychelles seems similarly
enthused by the variety that the role entails. We meet at
his apartment and, since last speaking, he has been in
Guangzhou finalizing an agreement to lend a pair of giant
tortoises to the city zoo. The creatures outnumber humans
by around two-to-one in his country.
“We use tortoise diplomacy a little bit like the Chinese
use panda diplomacy,” he chuckles.
But for Le Gall, and others, the advantage of being a
micro-nation’s ambassador also exists on a personal level.
Relative to their larger counterparts, who can merely tinker
at the fringes of global shifts, these diplomats feel they are
able to make a genuine difference. This is no more noticeable than in the case of Cape Verde’s Júlio Morais, who has
recently helped broker an investment from a Macao billionaire that could amount to 15 percent of his country’s GDP.
“It’s a touristic project with two hotels, a marina, a
convention center, some real estate, shopping malls, entertainment spaces and a small casino. It will be the biggest
foreign investment in Cape Verde for the moment, especially
COVER STORY
in tourism which is the growth engine of our
economy…I think for sure this will have a
very strong impact,” he explains animatedly,
somewhat evading my suggestion that this
actually makes him relatively more influential than other ambassadors.
The success of the deal may lend weight
to Morais’ desire to expand his operations in
China. After appealing to his foreign minister
that “the world is going to Asia,” he has already applied for a plot of 3,000 square meters at a new diplomatic district being built
in the north-east of the capital.
This shift of interests towards the East
does not only transpire at an official level.
Having recently returned from a trip back to
Cape Verde, the ambassador is struck by the
interest in student exchange programs.
“It’s a small country so everybody in the
capital knows each other. You walk and it’s
incredible; people grabbing me and saying:
‘you have to send my son or daughter to
China,’ everyone wants to come to China,” he
says. “It’s a recent phenomenon I would say.
Not even the last five years – maybe three.”
Now in his ninth year stationed in Beijing
(a city with a land area four times larger than
his entire country) the extroverted Morais
is – aside those associated with the embassy
and students placed around the country –
China’s only Cape Verdean. Curious as to
whether the life of a small ambassador is a
lonely one, I inquire if he might be spotted
in one of Sanlitun’s many drinking establishments.
“Oh yeah, sure! So many times.
Absolutely,” he exclaims, playfully affronted
that I should question his social life. “I have
some ambassador friends, usually Africans,
but Luxembourg used to go out with us, and
some others. Normally we go out and listen
to some live music or sit down and have a
chat. We go out at least once a week; we have
a close group.”
His ambassadorial crew reflects political ties – continental Africa is his country’s
neighbor, while Luxembourg's government
is, along with China, the only in the world to
offer Cape Verde concessional loans after its
status was upgraded to a middle-income nation. But Morais is keen to assert that this is
not how social diplomacy works.
“If you see North and South Korea in
social ambiance they are friends. It’s political. When you are in a relaxed atmosphere?
No problem. It’s not a big deal,” he says with
the wave of a hand. “For example, Cuba and
America – they talk. Better to talk than not to
talk. That’s the essence of diplomacy,”
But not all are so tied to the endless ream
of functions and receptions that characterize
diplomatic life. Although Malta’s ambassador
tells me that African nations (Nigeria in particular) are renowned for holding the best
parties, the Seychelles’ Le Gall seems gladly
distant from diplomatic circles, saying that
his social life is “not a priority.” And while the
ambassador of Lesotho, Lebohang Ntsinyi,
tries to attend many of the daily social functions, she admits that fitting into China life
has proven difficult.
With little over 30 students and only
two other embassy staff from her home
country living in China, Ntsinyi found during her first year in office that “it takes quite
some time to settle.” One of her two daughters did not enjoy life in Beijing and subsequently returned to study in Africa.
Having come from a posting in Germany,
a country where she had studied and was
fluent in the language, the ambassador was
instructed by her government to relocate
to Beijing. The cultural and linguistic differences in China have presented difficulties.
“The European setup was more familiar” she says. “The Asian culture and the
European culture are different, and also
African culture. But I can live with it. I’m
quite fine with it. I think I [just] felt more at
home in [Germany] because I’d been a student there.”
The embassy of Lesotho, a country entirely enclosed by South Africa, lies in the
Jianguomen Diplomatic Compound, neighbored by Azerbaijan, Eritrea and Angola.
Seemingly built in the style of a prairie
house, she reveals the building was initially
her residence.
“This was my home, but I don’t like living in the center of town and I didn’t like the
house, so I moved to the suburbs in Shunyi,”
she explains, readjusting her large, goldrimmed glasses. “It’s much more enjoyable. I
have a garden. I love my flowers so here I had
the challenge of where to plant [them]. When
I have spare time I enjoy my gardening.”
Nonetheless, Ntsinyi tells me that she
welcomes the experience and displays an admirable sense of duty that proves pervasive
among the ambassadors I meet. With at least
two more years in office, she hopes to attract “meaningful investments” that can help
Lesotho tackle youth unemployment, including a major hydro project that could bring
much-needed infrastructure to the country’s
mountainous interior.
“China’s policy towards Africa really is
very good. They seem to be trying their best
to accommodate African countries in terms
of direct investments as well as developmental things like roads, hospitals, schools and
so on,” she says.
However, it would be disingenuous to
portray these David-and-Goliath relations as
purely one-sided. All of the ambassadors that
I befriend are acutely aware of their strategic
importance to China; their varied experiwww.thatsmags.com / July 2014
39
ences of diplomacy providing snapshots into the ways
in which the world's most populous country secures its
global position. Lesotho's ability to attract direct investment is a microcosm of the Chinese drive to solidify ties
with resource-rich Africa, while the Cape Verdean ambassador readily admits that his country's geographical
position, at the gateway to the continent, works to his
advantage.
Although seemingly remote, Seychelles' location may
also play an important role in its relationship with China.
I venture to Le Gall that a recent deal to allow PLA ships
to use his country as a refueling point may, given its proximity to India, have wider diplomatic ramifications.
"There's absolutely no plan to give any particular
preferential treatment to one or the other. We value and
treasure our relations with our traditional friends – this
includes China, it includes India. We have to be realistic."
he says, explaining that the crews of hundreds staying
on the islands will provide limited but valuable tourist
revenue.
His considered response serves as a reminder that
among their many responsibilities, these ambassadors
are also one-person PR departments. There are no press
teams at these micro-embassies, but all are prone to resorting to diploma-speak when discussing global affairs.
“Friendship,” "partnership" and “cooperation" are recurring entries in the ambassadorial lexicon. I ask Ntsinyi about the nature of Lesotho's relationship with North Korea, where she also serves as ambassador, and am provided with the cautious one-word
reply: "political." When I inquire of her experience of her
recent trip to Pyongyang to celebrate the country's 60th
anniversary, she simply says: "It was ok. It's peculiar,"
seemingly unwilling to be drawn into anything that might
be misconstrued.
But in another sense, these sometimes unlikely figureheads can also possess a refreshing honesty. Over the
course of a couple of hours spent at Cape Verde's embassy, Morais shares the sort of off-the-record comments
that would, in larger establishments, terrify PR staff.
One wonders whether such roguish characters, or
individuals like the philosophical (and self-admittedly “a
little eccentric”) Le Gall, would have fitted the stiff mold
of an ambassador had they hailed from larger nations.
Instead of the usual career diplomats, appointed for
political reasons, figures like Malta’s Borg-Marks were
selected for their ties to China. His deep interest in – and
personal connection to – the country speaks of the different breed of politician that can find themselves heading
up small missions.
Malta's own relationship with China stretches back
to its independence from Britain in the 1970s when
Beijing donated a chocolate factory, a textile plant and
the largest dry dock in the Mediterranean, still known
locally as the Red China Dock. It was these early interactions (including a visit of the world champion table tennis team in 1972) that planted the seeds of the ambassador’s fascination with the country.
After studying Mandarin in Wales, Borg-Marks
knocked on the door of the Chinese embassy in Malta
and asked for a scholarship. It was granted. In 1977 he
traveled to Beijing, a city where coffee and news of his
beloved Manchester United were unobtainable luxuries.
One of the very few foreign students permitted to study
at Peking University, he recalls a Language Institute that
resembled “a World War Two prison camp.” The campus
was surrounded by barbed wire and strewn with mud
40
huts because, just a year after the Tangshan
earthquake, many were worried that the
buildings might collapse. Food was scarce
in China at the time, so he joined the trackand-field team to ensure better rations – lean
meat rather than fat and cabbages.
“I was probably at the first-ever disco
held here in China. We organized a disco
at the Language Institute and the officials
were very suspicious of our intentions,” he
recalls. “The foreign students’ office insisted
on keeping all the big lights on, which was
not exactly conducive to fun, so I spent most
of that evening sabotaging the [light] fuses.
It worked. They fixed them a couple of times
and then gave up. Everyone ended up having
a good time,” he says with a laugh.
Upon graduating in 1982, aged just 25,
Borg-Marks was charged with setting up
the embassy. Indeed, some of the furniture
in the high-ceilinged building in which we
first meet are his own selections from the
time. With former classmates being sent
around the world to establish a role for their
recently independent country, he formed
part of the vanguard of Maltese diplomacy.
The situation, by his own admission, “deepended” him.
“At the time, the foreign service was not
very organized so there was very little training. I did have this wonderful book, a very
old book, [Ernest Mason] Satow’s A Guide
to Diplomatic Practice, and that had a lot of
information in it. A lot of it is was archaic;
it’s like 19th-century stuff where you had to
address everyone as ‘your imperial majesty.’
But I learned on the ground and through
practice,” he says.
“My rise through the system was a bit
faster than a lot of others. A lot of [Peking
University] schoolmates from various
African and Arab countries did make it to
their embassies, but they usually started as
attaches or translators rather than as head
of a mission. That’s the advantage of [coming
from] a small nation as well.”
The next time we meet, following
his official trip to the Sino-Czech-Slovak
Friendship Farm in Hebei, Borg-Marks reflects on the changes to diplomatic life in
Beijing as we walk through Sanlitun’s Taikoo
Li shopping complex.
“None of this was here,” he says of the
commercial hub that grew to serve the embassy district. “Chinese people were afraid to
be seen with foreigners – there were a lot of
secret police around then.
“Having a Chinese girlfriend was a major
political problem. You couldn’t openly go and
visit Chinese friends’ houses because they’d
be reported. But you saw a relaxation,” he
tells me back at the nearby embassy. “I remember first seeing old people coming back
with their bird cages from the parks, which
had always been considered a bourgeois
practice.”
When the Maltese Labour Party (with
We use tortoise
diplomacy a little bit
like the Chinese use
panda diplomacy
COVER STORY
which he is affiliated) fell from power in 1987, Borg-Marks left
his post and embarked on a 25-year career as a corporate lawyer in China. He returned to office last year to “do some work for
[my] country rather than the multi-nationals,” though the diplomatic world which he returns to is starkly different.
The political gifts that were commonplace in the Cold War
era have been replaced by more pragmatic commercial relationships. While recognition in the UN might once have led to favorable treatment, Borg-Marks says he must now make a viable
business case like everyone else. This leveling of the playing field
may actually benefit micro-nations as they compete with louder
voices for a slice of China's growth.
Their aims are often modest. Both Seychelles and Malta
hope they can eventually get direct flight routes from China,
while Ntsinyi wants more cultural exchanges so that Lesotho's
youth can learn from the Chinese work ethic that she visibly admires. The ambassadors' grander ambitions are equally evident,
however, highlighted by the phrase that I repeatedly come to
hear from them: "We may be small but..."
Le Gall believes that his country can become a global leader
on climate change, conservation and the fight against piracy. His
government is currently bidding for a non-permanent seat on the UN
Security Council, unprecedented for a country of its size. But like all
of the ambassadors I meet, he possesses a humility about what can be
achieved and the level at which he must operate.
"Margaret Thatcher used to say that the pennies were not falling
from the trees or from heaven, they had to be earned. She was saying
pennies, not pounds," he tells me. "We have the same policy – pennies
are welcome!"
As I depart from the embassy, his secretary leads me to the door
past images of giant tortoises and white, pristine beaches.
“If you or any of your friends are interested in going on holiday to
the Seychelles, just drop by,” she offers with a smile.

SILK ROAD HITCHHIKERS
Two men travel China’s traditional trading route
BY LEE MOORE
Lee Moore and Galen Burke won the 2013 Outside Magazine Adventure Grant with a plan to hitchhike the
Chinese section of the Silk Road, from Xi’an to Kashgar, visiting parks and scenic areas along the way. The
project's goal is explore China's remaining wild spaces while also understanding what the Chinese people think
of the wild. We’ll be following their journey every month as they investigate the culture and nature along this
historic trade route.
Xi’an is best known as the fount of
Chinese civilization. Formerly called
Chang’an, it is the home of the Qin Dynasty,
the imperial house that unified China in 221
BC. It was here that the great Emperor Qin
Shi Huang was buried, along with thousands
of his Terracotta Warriors.
The Tang Dynasty was the height of
Chinese civilization and its rulers made Xi’an
into the center of the world, the Manhattan
of the seventh century. People from all over
gathered within the city’s walls to partake in
the goods and glories of the Earth’s largest
empire.
However, Xi’an has another side; it is
where China stops being so Chinese. In Xi’an,
people’s faces begin to alter. The change is
most pronounced in the city’s large Muslim
Quarter. Though the area has been made
tacky by much pandering to tourists, it is still
largely populated by Muslim Chinese and,
as we moved farther from the touristy parts,
seemed genuinely Islamic.
Walking around, we noticed a significant
increase in facial hair. Most Chinese grow
facial hair like 12-year-old boys, but here in
Xi’an there is a plethora of mustaches and a
sprinkling of the long white beards of devout
44
Muslim men.
Beyond the hirsuteness, the inhabitants
here have a markedly different appearance.
They have a stronger jaw line and more
pronounced cheekbones. Their eyes are less
almond shaped and their faces less round
than the average Chinese person. Unlike the
majority of their countrymen, they have a
much wider variety of skin tones, some a
dark, sun-baked brown, some a pale white,
more Turkish than East Asian.
The Muslims of Xi’an are classified ethnically as Hui by the Communist apparatchiks
who decide these things, but this seems rather simplistic. Although many of them are descended from Muslim traders who journeyed
along the Silk Road from Central Asia, some
of them are almost certainly descended from
Chinese people who converted to Islam.
We wander outside the tourist section.
Tucked in a corner is a small mosque. Inside,
however, there is little to suggest any Arab
influence. The mosque looks almost exactly
like a Chinese temple, though there is Arabic
script hung in a few places. Clocks list the
prayer times in the prayer hall, which is
flanked by two small, Chinese-style pavilions,
each with a stone-carved stele – again, akin
to most typical Chinese temples.
In an odd way, Xi’an is both the end
and the beginning of Chinese civilization.
Certainly, it was here that it began, and it was
here that it flourished, but it is also here that
Chinese civilization shows its first signs of
giving way to the Central Asian nations that,
along the Silk Road, made all the world their
marketplace and, occasionally, from atop the
horse, made all the world their kingdom.

ASK THE DOC
Quick tips on avoiding over-brushing
BY TOM LEE
What damage can be done to teeth by
over-brushing?
The enamel of the teeth can be worn out;
the gum can be hurt by over-brushing. And
your teeth will feel sensitive if the enamel gets
thinner and/or the gum recedes.
How often should we be brushing our
teeth?
Two to three times a day.
What is the recommended amount of time
people should spend brushing their teeth?
And what kind of pressure should be applied?
Three to five minutes every time. You can
handle an orange and feel the force you use.
Then apply this force to brush your teeth.
What’s the best method of brushing teeth
to avoid damaging your teeth and gums?
We suggest you use the Bass brushing
method. Make the bristles 45 degrees to the
surface of the teeth. Press gently and move the
brush vertically like shaking. Make sure that
you clean the teeth and the gum.
There are lots of designs of toothbrushes, with different shapes and bristles. Does
the kind of toothbrush actually make any
difference?
Yes. Some designs of brush fit the shape of
teeth and gum. These brushes can be more effective to clean than flat designs.
How often should I be changing my
toothbrush?
One month is the best timing. If you are
lazy, no more than three months.
If somebody is over-brushing their
teeth, how soon before damage will start
to occur?
This is very hard to say. It really depends
on how hard you press on your teeth and the
situation of the teeth themselves. The symptoms could be found from months to years.
If teeth are damaged by over-brushing,
what can be done to rectify the issue?
If you have a wedge-shaped defect you
can have composite filling at your dentist’s. If
you feel sensitivity on your teeth and there is
only gum recession, you can use anti-sensitive
toothpaste and/or have anti-sensitive treatment at your dentist’s.

WORLD CUP FEVER!
WHY AM I THE ONLY ONE IN THE HOUSE STRUCK DOWN WITH IT?
BY TREVOR MARSHALLSEA
B
eing the dad of young children, it’s
great when, every so often, excitement levels just go through the roof.
“The World Cup is on! The
World Cup is on!” I ran around the house
screaming last month.
“Meh,” said Lani and Evie, the 8- and
7-year-olds who dwell on the sofa, reading
and re-reading a certain favorite book series,
the name of which I can’t mention for legal
reasons (because if I hear the name Harry
Potter again I’ll do something the police
won’t like).
I’ve explained the World Cup to the kids
with a level of detail which really should
have sold it to them. Basically it went: “It’s
the best thing there is!”
But alas this is one of those times when
– if your kids are female and your wife is too
– you look around and wonder how, unlike
the shared-housing years of yore, you ended
up in a house of football infidels.
One of the great things about the World
Cup is how it serves as a four-yearly marker
of the changing trends in the world’s most
popular sport. Four years ago it was Spain
dominating with a style called 'tiki taka,'
which involved lots of zealous ball possession, lots of passing and lots of fans falling
asleep. By contrast, thankfully, this tournament started out marked by blistering attack.
Likewise, the World Cup is a four-yearly
marker of the changes in your life. In fact,
it probably even helps me to have a better
recollection of events in my relationship with
my wife than she does. Stef and I moved in
together in June, 2002. That’s an easy one.
Our first night in the flat was spent watching
the World Cup from Japan and South Korea.
Four years later, we watched the final
of Germany 2006 with a nearly-1-year-old
daughter, and another on the way. Lani
must have been nearly 12 months, for she
was born, somewhat inconveniently, during
a thrilling third match of Australia’s 2005
cricket tour of England. (Near the end. With
the match still in the balance!)
World Cups also reflect the maturing of
your children. They were much more malleable, for example, at the time of South
Africa 2010. I suggested, and the 4-year-old
Lani gleefully agreed, that she should make
a World Cup wall map. We printed a world
map. She colored the 32 competing countries
according to their groups. I wept.
For Brazil 2014, however, my suggestions for similar preparations fell on deaf
ears, as another young wizard or other
did something extraordinary at Hogwarts.
46
For some reason my girls aren’t glued to the box like these Brazilian kids…
Formerly fans of the
Mr. Men series, the
girls are thrilled that
the tournament could
possibly be dominated
by an Argentine called
Mr. Messy
Pleasingly, I can report I had a moral victory
on only the second day of the tournament,
when Holland’s Robin van Persie scored his
amazing headed goal against Spain. “I’ll bet
Harry Bloody Potter couldn’t do that!” I told
Lani.
To be fair, the girls have watched some
bits with their World Cup-obsessed Dad –
once over the shock of seeing me sleeping on
the couch, when I had to assure them I hadn’t
fought with Mummy.
Watching with a wife who’s only mildly
into it can be fraught with danger. You suddenly find yourself talking about the tightness of the players’ shirts, or how green, red
and yellow really can sit well together in the
Cameroon kit.
After one match I had to patiently explain that captains don’t usually prepare a
losing speech, as it sort of goes against the
grain of all that positive-thinking business
sportsmen talk about.
With kids it’s different. They’ll get just as
excited watching Greece versus Japan as for
Spain versus Holland. “Making up the numbers” sounds to them like cheating at math,
not an explanation of what some of these
countries are doing there.
They’ll be genuinely shocked and
concerned when an Italian player goes to
ground, rolling, sobbing, writhing in agony
and surely on the brink of death. Then they
see him miraculously cured with nothing
more than a sponge and promptly score
a goal. They want me to buy one of those
sponges.
Formerly fans of the Mr. Men series, the
girls are thrilled that the tournament could
possibly be dominated by an Argentine
called Mr. Messy. But even at this age they
still can’t believe there’ll be a World Cup in
Qatar.
Qatar 2022 will be when Lani’s applying
for university and Evie’s about to finish high
school. Before then, Russia 2018 should be
round about when Lani stops talking to me
and Evie gets braces.
There’s hope yet that they’ll one day
abandon all this book-reading nonsense,
turn into footy nuts and share this passion
with their Dad. Until then, I can only look
at other parents with envy – such as a mum
who shared this kid-related World Cup moment about her young boy: “He found out
he’d have to wait four years till the next one.
He burst into tears.”
I know how he feels.

THE SCHOOL ALTERNATIVE
Home education is putting down roots
BY LENA GIDWANI
U
nlike other parents whose nerves
are stretched to breaking point by
the time the new school semester
comes around, Guangzhou residents Jeremy and Mary Ming aren’t worried.
Their children, Melody, 13, and Max, 15, are
educated at home.
Dissatisfied with traditional schools, the
Mings decided to take their offspring's education into their own hands two years ago. Their
two kids are taught the bare basics in English
using books from America and Singapore.
Locally hired tutors teach the licensed local
school curriculum and more specialist topics
in Mandarin for five hours a day during the
week. Mary also assigns monthly research
projects and sends the children to swimming,
music, art and English classes, all timetabled
in their weekly lesson plans.
“Our children did not really enjoy going
to school. They spent all day with their heads
in their books, memorising concepts without
being truly stimulated. We could not bear to
see them like that,” explains Mary. “We wanted
them to be bilingual, to learn through inquiry, to
be challenged and motivated. They do get lonely sometimes, but we try to get them involved in
regular group activities to meet friends.”
While industry experts have raised concerns that homeschooling can have a negative
impact on psychological development due to
the lack of communication with peers, the upside is that it encourages self-directed learning
and time for play, exercise and art – concepts
crowded out in many local schools to make
time for academics in order to ‘win at the
starting line,’ a local phrase coined to describe
the obsession with obtaining the best educational resources starting as early as possible.
It appears that the Mings are not going at
this alone. More and more Chinese parents,
especially those from regions like Guangdong,
Beijing and Zhejiang, are choosing homeschooling. According to the latest report by
the 21st Century Education Research Institute,
a Beijing-based NGO, roughly 18,000 people
are considering practicing homeschooling in
the Mainland, with more than 2,000 already
doing so. The top reason respondents gave
for their decision was dissatisfaction with the
rigid local educational pedagogy, followed by
the pace and content of lessons, lack of respect
for children, aversion to school life, religious
intentions and other factors like abuse and
punishment.
In theory, however, Chinese law does not
allow for homeschooling. The Compulsory
Education Law, promulgated in 1986, mandates nine years of education for all children
Roughly 18,000 people
are considering
practicing
homeschooling in the
Mainland
beyond kindergarten at registered schools,
whether public or private. But official oversight and other legal loopholes have allowed
more parents to homeschool their children, in
an effort to emulate the success of programs
around the world. In America, for example, 3.4
percent of the school-age population, or 1.77
million students, are homeschooled.
In particular, there are very well-organized
Canadian home education movements, which
have been adopted by many expat families living here in China. Hailing from the Great White
North, Patrick and Sofia Lynch, who have resided
in Guangzhou for several years, are very passionate about homeschooling their eight children.
“We are keen to discover each of their
qualities and interests and see how to enhance
them, as well as how to help them overcome
their weak points,” says Sofia. “We have also
had many amazing friends who have lent their
skills and time to help with certain aspects
of teaching.” The oldest two of the eight are
currently registered in Canada as online high
school home learners, in order for them to
transit back to their native land when university beckons.
The concept of homeschooling and its
many benefits may be slowly gaining acceptance in the Middle Kingdom, but whether this
can go beyond a fad remains in question. With
little encouragement from the wider community and few precedents in place to support
their cause, progressive families like the Mings
know that it’s going to be a rough road ahead
for their children, especially when it comes
to applying to local universities. For example,
home-based learning students are unable
to acquire certificates issued by registered
schools – a must for those preparing to sit the
national university entrance examination, commonly known as the gaokao. Melody and Max
Ming have to pass an extremely difficult exam
issued by individual universities for students
who haven't completed local school, a nearly
impossible feat considering the competition.
“For now, it doesn’t look like I have a
choice but to send the children to universities overseas. There’s no looking back now
because they don’t have the certificates. They
will not be recognized as being educated locally. But that is a risk we are both willing to
take for the sake of their well-being and future,” says an optimistic Mary. “Homeschooling
has worked successfully in other countries
around the world so I am confident that it will
also work for us.”

HONG KONG BISTRO
A definitive cha chaan teng experience

K

(literally ‘tea restaurants’) have
always been highly ranked on
Guangzhouers’ lists of places to eat. An
import from Hong Kong, as the population
of such diners has expanded, so locals have
become increasingly picky about where to go
for their authentic HK fix.
Located on Huale Lu in the Taojin area,
Hong Kong Bistro hopes to tap into that
market by offering a precise cha chaan teng
replica. Decked out in bright orange tones,
its wallpaper is composed of nostalgic Hong
Kong ads and distinct street views. Piled
red plastic crates with glass bottles of Coca
Cola, the open beverage bar and a continual
stream of Hong Kong TV programs on the
goggle-box all feed into the restaurant’s ambiance.
The attention to details continues with the food. Hong

and eschews monosodium glutamate.

rotisserie) masters make
the bread and roast the
meats.

Cart noodles are also
a must. Widely seen in
Hong Kong in the 1950s
when street vendors
sold it on roadsides in
low-income districts,
it has since become a
food fad. Customers
can choose the noodles,
side dishes and soup
that will go into their serving (RMB28 for
three side dishes, RMB38 for five). Chicken
wings, sausage, meat balls and pig skin are
among the most popular noodle accompaniments, while fish, spicy Sichuan and curry
are amongst the soup selections.
To ease your palate from the generally
intense flavors of the main meal, choose a
refreshing beverage like the iced Sprite with
salted lime (RMB18). Alternatively, cool off
with a concoction of vanilla ice cream and
mango blocks titled the Plant Ice-cream
(RMB38). Conceived to look like a piece of
vegetation, it is covered with a think layer
of chocolate chip dust and a sprig of mint
leaves.

Just the right amount of chewiness and balancing numerous flavors, it is ideal for an afternoon break. Wun zai ci – often mistakenly
believed to be shark’s fin because it contains
the word ‘ci’ (fin) in its name – is a
dark brown, sticky concoction of
translucent fensi (glass noodles) with chicken pieces,
slices of fungus and dried

THE WEST
Brunch munch
BY JANE KENT
O
ccupying a prime corner location
in a well-developed section of
Foshan’s Lingnan Tiandi, The West
appears bright, open and inviting from the street. The decor is somehow
simultaneously sleek and modern, yet retro
and nostalgic, making it easy to start projecting wants and wishes onto the cafe before an
order has even been placed.
Whether intended or not, certain features carry associations: the chrome fixtures
and meat slicer call to mind a New York deli.
The countertops and impressively singular
use of a specific shade of green (somewhere
between kelly and bottle) stimulate memories while still soothing the senses. In short,
this is a pleasant place to sit.
With morning light pouring in through
the windows on all sides, fresh juices, alcoholic offerings, all-day brekkie and a glass
case confidently displaying baked goods, the
components quickly tally up to the conclusion that this place equals brunch.
For RMB55 the whole-day breakfast is
good value. Healthy helpings of beans, tomato and eggs are accompanied by a chewy
strip of toasted baguette. The cheeseburger
(RMB48) is nicely done and served on a
seedy whole wheat bun. Accompanied by
glasses of wine for RMB38 and a RMB28
freshly squeezed orange juice, it’s a satisfying midday meal.
The only grumble is about service. All
orders go through the main cashier at the
counter, which leaves one confused about
who to talk to regarding anything else. Food
is delivered
to the table without
cutlery – so… help yourself? Go back
to the counter? What about that guy passing by who you’re pretty sure works here?
After a wave and request for ketchup, we’re
presented with one small packet, so we rise
to ask for more. There’s a lot of up and down
and self-service.
The West has a strong sense of
identity and decent Western food. Iron out
the service and logistics wrinkles and this
new kid on a very old block could become a
popular go-to.

Brewing’s raison d’etre is to acquaint locals and foreigners with

Scottish BrewDog. That brewery’s Punk IPA 5.6 percent is on draft (RMB60)
and is an excellent, classic-tasting Indian pale

(RMB45) is a chocolaty summer favorite.

There are also freshly pressed cocktails
such as the basil lemon drop (RMB60), consisting of vodka, fresh lemon juice, houseinfused basil and lemon syrup. Yet the fact
that, after two months, a cocktail is a bestselling beverage in a gastro-pub-cum-craftbeer-bar reveals a problem: in what
direction is this bird flying?
For instance, you’d be

sip on a Trappistes Rochefort 10 (RMB55)

world on a leading beer website – while listening to Daft Punk and watching ice hockey.
The vibe is as befuddling as the 18.2 percent

Regardless of the sobering mark up on
beer – the rustic Beer House on Jianshe Liu

A CANADIAN ORIGINAL
Butter tarts
BY JANE KENT
S
ure, Canadians are passionate about
hockey and Tim Horton’s, but a
lesser known obsession is with butter tarts. Not to be confused with
the British treacle tart, which differs in taste
and texture, these are objects of cultural
pride with roots in Canada’s pioneering
past. The first known published recipe was
in a Women’s Auxiliary cookbook in 1900
and is believed to be linked to older family
recipes brought by Amish settlers for molasses shoofly pie.
The fanatical devotion to butter tarts
has spawned its own tourism industry.
Muskoka Lakes, Ontario hosts the annual
Butter Tart Festival while Midland, Ontario
has the Best Butter Tart Taste-Off. Tourists
visiting North Wellington, Ontario can sign
on for a day tour called the Butter Tart Trail
and sample their way through bakeries
and cafes
in pretty
Mennonite
country.
Canadians
have opinions about
butter tart variations, such as adding nuts
or raisins or coconut. But one thing is
agreed upon: don’t ever substitute the maple syrup. Happy July 1, aka Canada Day!
Ingredients
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
3/4 cup canola oil
1/4 cup cold water
2 eggs
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 vanilla pod, shaved
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup raisins
until dough comes together. Gather into ball.
3) Roll out on floured surface to 3-millimeter thickness.
4) Cut out 24 circles and place in greased
muffin tins.
5) Divide raisins evenly among the shells.
6) Lightly beat eggs, brown sugar, maple
syrup, butter and vanilla in a bowl.
7) Pour over raisins, filling shells threequarters full.
8) Bake in preheated oven at 425 degrees
until set (about 15 minutes).
9) Cool, then carefully remove from pan.
Preparation:
1) Stir flour and salt in a mixing bowl. In
another bowl, combine oil and water.
2) Add both mixes to flour and stir lightly

TORRES WINE
The rain in Spain yields great grapes
BY LENA GIDWANI
H
istory, as we know it, has always
been under the influence. Noah
drank in the Old Testament and
the Romans had a fetish for lavish, alcohol-fueled banquets, their invention of glass blowing contributing to the
way wine is currently bottled.
But contrary to popular belief, the
Spaniards beat the Romans to the punch.
Archeological evidence suggests that
peoples on the Iberian Peninsula possessed
vineyards dating back to 4,000 BC. The
Romans later took over the viticulture in
the area, fermenting Spanish wines into
greatness. Indeed, without Spanish wine,
our world would be a very different – and
perhaps much soberer – place.
Today, Spain has the greatest surface
area of vineyards in the world, nearing 1.2
million hectares, compared to France’s
900,000 hectares. Data from the International Organization of Vine and
Wine shows that in 2013, Spain
was the world’s second largest
wine producer behind only Italy.
One of the most important
players in the Spanish trade is the
Torres Group, which is currently
the third largest premium wine
importer in China. We sat down
with Miguel Torres Maczassek,
the charming, effervescent CEO
of the wine empire, to discover
more about the brand’s past,
present and future.
Torres has been voted
the World's Most Admired Wine Brand for
2014. Congratulations!
Thank you! We are very
lucky to have a strong
team of over 1,300 people
in our company making
wines in Spain, Chile and
California. Our wines are
extremely high in quality
and cater to different
price points. We export
to over 160 countries
around the world. Our
consumers recognize our
commitment to quality
and have supported in
achieving this great honor.
How has the perception of Spanish wines
changed over the years?
This has all occurred in
60
the past 40 years or so. It was Torres' single
vineyard Mas La Plana that put the estate on
the fine wine map back in the 1970s, when
it triumphed at the Paris Wine Olympiad
organized by Gault-Millau, beating all comers.
It was the first time a Spanish wine had won.
This was really the pinnacle; people started
to take us seriously after that and it gave us
the energy to continue and break new ground.
In China, Spanish wines are gaining
market share in all categories. It’s very positive. Some of the best restaurants around
the world are now in Spain. Spain is a star
and we are very happy to represent it.
Since Torres was founded in 1870, leadership has always passed from father to son.
What are you doing differently, if at all?
Ours is a close-knit, traditional family
business and we started to make wines
144 years ago, for the past five generations.
To make great wines you have to look
towards the future, and that means
that every decision that we have made
focuses on a long-term strategy. With
that said, every generation has done
things a bit differently. My grandfather,
in particular, was the one that started
exporting. He used to travel around the
world with a suitcase. My father took it
a step further and he took great strides
in improving the quality of the wines.
My generation is focusing on understanding our customer and we are
doing many innovative projects
that have been very successful.
Torres first entered the Chinese market almost 17 years
ago, when wine-drinking
culture was still in its infancy. How does China fit into
Torres' global business?
We’ve always believed that
China has huge potential, but
initially we could not find a
good importer. Once we did, we
also realized that the Chinese
market needed to be educated,
so we decided to invest. We are
now the third largest premium wine importer in China.
Everwines, our retail arm, is
very successful in giving our
clientele an opportunity to
sample our varieties and learn
more about what we offer.
Torres is looking to the future;
we have realized that there are
many more Chinese cities that
are yet to be developed and potential wine
drinkers that need to be educated. Wine is
now a sign of culture and sophistication. The
future is very bright.
Most people are familiar with garnacha,
also known as grenache. What are some
other grape varietals that too often get
overlooked?
Many do not know about tempranillo,
which is an aromatic, full-bodied red that is
actually the backbone of some of the finest
red wines from Spain. We are constantly
looking for new grape varieties. The most
amazing wine always come with a risk
factor; we need to challenge ourselves to go
to a place that we have never gone before
to create something truly special with our
hallmark of quality.
Where do you see yourself and Torres in
a decade?
We are focusing on expansion and innovation. Of course, we are the specialists for
Spanish wine and that will never change. I
am pleased to represent our fifth generation but I also have Mireia my sister and
my cousins; we all work together. We are
united like a team and this is a guarantee
that we can continue our family legacy and
take it to the next level. Our generation is
also growing up and we are keen to pass on
a legacy that will make them proud. Even
my son is named Miguel! [Laughs]
What are you drinking at the moment?
I am drinking Mas La Plana Cabernet
Sauvignon 2009. It’s an intense, compelling
bouquet. Not only is there a rare intensity of
flavor, but there is complexity and balance
too. It must be drunk sip by sip; it has so
many layers of flavor. This is one of the best
vintages we have and I highly recommend it.

can be both concrete and abstract,

such mysterious duality that intrigues

socks, the ensemble also comes with
an intriguing promise of “a cappella
with a twist.”

THE TAVERN SPORTS BAR
Pie, fajitas and ice cream floats
Everyone’s favorite sports bar is jazzing up their menu with some new pub
grub. If you’re one of those people who is always looking for a good savory
pie but are disappointed by the dearth of options, the Tavern is now offering a
trio of hearty eats to sate your craving, all served with gravy and veggies. For
the beef eaters, the steak and ale (RMB85) is the obvious choice, while the traditional shepherd’s pie (RMB88) is stuffed with lamb and topped with mashed
potato. For a fair fowl, the chicken and mushroom (RMB80) with a latticed top
crust is just the ticket. Want to go even further west? Revamped fajitas come
in shrimp (RMB98), beef (RMB95) and chicken (RMB90) varieties – or have a
bit of all three with the trio (RMB108). Served on a sizzling griddle with sliced
peppers and onion, the smell alone is enough to drive you loco. But perhaps
something lighter is more refreshing for the summer months? Dive into one
of the new ice creams and floats now available, including the apple-flavored
Midsummer Night and the blueberry and chocolate Devotion.

Rather than a cooling glass of ice tea, in Japan it is traditional to refresh
during the hot summer months by eating freshwater eel, known in Japanese
as unagi. Particularly on the Day of the Ox, which this year falls on July 29,
people in the Land of the Rising Sun will devour a portion of grilled eel to
keep their nutrients up. I by Inagiku are offering up this delicious delicacy in
the traditional grilled style, deep fried or as teppanyaki, providing a range
of flavors and texture – and let’s not forget about the ever-popular sushi option! Grab a mouthful of culture served with seasonal ingredients in a kaiseki
set during both lunch (RMB380) and dinner (RMB680), or head in during the
evening to order it a la carte.
// This promotion runs from June 26 till the end of July. All prices are subject
to a 15 percent service charge. I By Inagiku, 5/F, W Guangzhou, 26 Xiancun Lu,

Tianjin / 3+1 bedrooms minyuan
Minyuan 33 is a boutique hotel that
combines the storied legacy of Tianjin
with the finest modern conveniences. To
understand Minyuan 33’s history, we must
go back to the days when Tianjin was a
bustling port city situated at a nexus of
important water and rail trade routes.
Strict restrictions on European trade
began to ease after China suffered military
setbacks, and in the last century of the
Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), zones were
approved for foreign trade.

England’s infamous pre Euro 96 Far East sojourn
BY IAN WALKER
L
ast month I told you about the closest
I got to a World Cup in 1998. Being
cut from the squad at the last minute,
Gazza throwing a wobbly and trashing Glenn
Hoddle’s hotel suite and me consoling him as
he blubbed on the private jet home. On other
occasions I missed out due to loss of form or
injury.
But I did make it to two European
Championships, in 1996 and 2004. And at
that first one it was once again a certain Paul
Gascoigne who made the headlines - for all
the wrong reasons and then all the right ones.
Ask any Englishman what he thinks of
when he hears the words ‘dentist chair’ and
it is not the sound of drills. It is a mercurial
Geordie looping a ball over a stumbling, despairing Scottish defender and smashing a
volley past their helpless goalkeeper, before
running to the touchline, lying down, mouth
wide open, as his teammates squirt a water
bottle into his big grinning gob.
And it all started in Hong Kong. In preparation for the tournament, which was to
be held in England in June, the squad had
traveled for a tour of the Far East (where
I won my second cap in a friendly against
China in the Beijing’s Workers Stadium, a
tale for a future column).
Flying out from Hong Kong, and having
played our games, the mood in the camp was
relaxed, and manager Terry Venables said
everybody could go and have a drink downstairs in a little place next door to the hotel.
He said Bryan Robson, who was one of the
coaches, would look after us, no problem.

Someone found a
dentist chair and –
bang! - straight away
we’re on it.
So sure enough, all the lads went out.
Obviously we’d been working a long time,
not being able to go out, so everyone wanted
to let loose for a little bit. We were all in
there having a couple of drinks and having
a good time… and for some reason it kind of
escalated and started going a bit crazy.
I don’t know what it was, but Bryan
Robson was standing there with a pint, and
he was wearing one of those shirts with a
round collar, and someone grabbed it and
ripped it. All he had left was the little round
collar: the rest of it had gone. And he just
carried on drinking like nothing had happened!
He was supposed to be looking after us,
so from then on it went a bit mad. And then
someone found a dentist chair in another
room. So of course – bang! - straight away
we’re on it. I think Gazza went on first, then I
had a go, then Teddy Sheringham. Then it all
went off, just bedlam.
People were taking pictures though, and
it soon got out. Suddenly the UK papers were
raving: “Look at these joke players who are supposed to be representing England and playing in
the European Championships next week.”
Then supposedly somebody broke a
screen on one of the seats on the flight home,
and somehow that got out too. I don’t actually know if anyone did break one, but of
course that condemned matters – “look at
these drunken hooligans out of control.”
Back in England we stayed at Burnham
Beeches, the team hotel, and it kind of became a siege mentality; an ‘us against them’
situation. And because a lot of the grief was
aimed at Gazza, it was planned that if he
scored, they would recreate the dentist chair.
Sure enough, in our second group game
against ‘Auld Enemy’ Scotland, with us holding a slender 1-0 lead with 15 minutes to go,
the Scots are awarded a penalty. Up steps
their captain Gary McAllister, but David
Seaman saves it and lumps it up field, where
it falls to Gazza.
The rest, as they say, is history. Wembley
was in raptures and we were left with one
of the most iconic images in English football
folklore. It’s lucky that water bottle was
there.
We ended up doing really well in the
tournament, making it all the way to the
semi final, and an inch away from winning
that. And that great goal against Scotland
was almost enough to get everybody back
on side. From being looked at as a bit of a
disgrace to being hero-worshipped. It was a
mad run!
