Editor's Note
“I believe in equality for everyone,
except reporters and photographers.”
Gandhi said that. He seemed like
such a nice old man, too. Well
here’s one in the eye for you
Mahatma (yeah, yeah - “It will only
make the whole world blind…”)
because this month we’re reporting on photography, checking out
the work of some of the finest
Shanghai-based snappers (p48).
Elsewhere in the magazine,
American wrestling attempts
to muscle its way into Hubei
(p12). They aren’t to be fooled
(“It’s fixed!”) And we board the
slow train to a rapidly changing
Xinjiang, before the soon-to-beinaugurated fast train transforms
it forever (p30).
In arts we do a roundup of the
best albums from the year gone by
(p38), learn how to make the best
record in the year ahead (p43),
talk to a sets of punks heading to
town (p40) and visit the latest museum reclaiming the wastelands
that are the post-Expo grounds
(p44).
Food and drink sees the return
of King David. That’s right, Laris
is back. And he granted us an
exclusive interview, looking back
JANUARY
WIN WIN WIN
on the old times and ahead to the
new (p77). We also take a whistlestop tour of the town’s funkiest
cafes (p66), as well as our usual
roundup of the newest restaurants
(p70) and bars (p80).
And in his regular back page
column, Ian Walker looks ahead
to this month’s Asian Cup taking
place Down Under, and China’s
(slim) hopes of being crowned
champions of the continent
(p120).

CAUGHT
Security troll
“I’m going in. I wonder who dares to inspect me.” The words of Weibo user ‘Cheka-jiqiangtianshi,’ as
he embarked on his mission to show the flaws of Shanghai’s subway security system. The man filled
a backpack with two knives and a baton, and took a selfie as he began his nonchalant walk through
security. The security guards, it turned out, did dare to inspect him: he never made it past the x-ray machine, and that taunting selfie was the last image he took before being promptly arrested. Joker.
CRIME
PHOTOSHOP
Bad joke
Fake nudes
When Lin Senhao, a medical student, heard that if you
soak a sleeping person’s feet in
hot water it makes them pee,
he decided that April Fool’s
was his new favorite day. That’s
why in 2013, Lin decided to
prank his roommate by adding
a toxic chemical to his drinking
water: unfortunately,
the joke turned sour.
Lin’s roommate died
of poisoning, and
last month, Lin
himself was in
the Shanghai
Higher People’s
Court, trying to
avoid a death
sentence. Lin
claims that his
actions weren’t
malicious, and
that this was
just a very,
very unfunny
joke.
8
In what may be the trashiest case we’ve read about
for some time, a Shanghai man was detained for 10
days after his weird fake-nude revenge scheme blew
up in his face. Yao Wenchang was angry after a friend of
his mistress told his wife that Yao was being unfaithful.
Yao reacted with tact and restraint: He Photoshopped
the whistleblower’s face onto some naked women, added her cellphone number to the images and uploaded them online. Classy guy.
Shanghai authorities caught up with Yao in December, after the woman in question had received lurid phone calls for close to a month.
UNDIES
Indecent exposure
The internet was abuzz last
month after a yet-unidentified
woman appeared pants-less
in the city’s subway system.
She first popped up in People’s
Square on December 1, and then reappeared in a Wanda Plaza on
December 14, much to commuters’ bewilderment. There’s a twist in
this cheeky tail: despite the long hair and feminine get-up, there is a
growing consensus among internet commenters that “No pants sister” is actually, like 2012’s “Miniskirt Brother,” a man who has decided
that the fastest way to viral internet fame was to dress up in female
garb and flaunt his stuff.
Segway scooters, the favored
mode of transportation for
tourists and mall police alike,
are not welcome on Shanghai’s
city streets. Like electric skateboards, Segways can only legally
be driven in parks or closed
neighborhood: streets,
bike lanes and sidewalks are thoroughly
off-limits. This was
news to four
Segway riders
in December,
who were
caught by police
in an unexpected
crackdown. A fine of
RMB50 made sure
to keep those public menaces confined to the small
residential areas
where they belong.
TECH
Going mobile
If you’re not going to have 4G
service on your subway commute, you might as well be riding a horse and buggy. Alright,
that may be a bit of an exaggeration, but riders of lines 9, 11,
12, 13 and 16 can rejoice this
month, as China Mobile 4G service has been expanded to cover
their most trafficked areas. Say
goodbye to listening to the stale
tunes saved onto your phone,
and say hello to Youku, Tudou
and – for the lucky ones – maybe
even YouTube on the go.
Sizzling Nightlife in Town
Exciting times in Zhouzhuang
A
mbra Schillirò, a 33-year-old Sicilian,
fell in love with Zhouzhuang’s nightlife
the moment she stepped into the water
town. Having been in China for almost five
years, this was not the Italian’s first time in
an ancient town.
“I found the place really beautiful, peaceful
and really romantic. I’m Italian and we are
famous for Venice, so I really appreciate when
I see a water town that is so nice and clean,
where you can smell and feel the history,” she
said. “I feel Zhouzhuang has everything that I
would expect for an ancient water town.”
Schillirò was ready to have an exciting night
safari in Zhouzhuang with plenty of beer,
barbeque and bars. Spring raindrops dance
on the umbrellas in the lanes; young girls
float among the giant pink lotus flowers;
people have bumper harvests in the rice
fields; snowflakes welcome the coming of the
New Year.
As the first performance illustrating the
live scenes of a Chinese water town, the
Zhouzhuang of Four Seasons brings the real
life of the town’s villagers onto the stage
against a background of bridges, water and
ancient buildings.
At 7:30pm, Schillirò was seated in the front
row of the open-air theatre, ready to watch
the show. “It’s my first time to see such a
show. I’m really excited,” she said, eyes on
the stage as young actresses were rowing
boats in the river.
Later, she had barbeque and beer in the
ancient town. However, the night was
definitely not over in Zhouzhuang: it was just
beginning. How could you possibly miss the
sizzling beer and bar life at 1086 Slow Life
Street?
1086 street might be quiet during the
daytime, but when it’s dark, the night will
suddenly be alive with noisy crowds, warm
lights, sizzling beers and live music.
The name 1086 was made to remember the
year when the town was established and first
given the name “Zhouzhuang.”
Schillirò tried Hong Ting first. “I like pubs
with live music, which makes people interact
more with each other than a normal club,
where the music is very loud and the feeling
is totally different,” she said, a bottle of beer
in hand.
The town’s long history witnessed many
cultures converging, and Zhouzhuang’s
unique landscape attracted a number of
scholars to come, settle down and start their
works.
The town was first named in 1086, and even
today, old residences are still kept intact
along the Beishi River: that’s how “1086 Slow
life Street” was born.
Located between the Quangong Bridge and
Double Bridge, the street features some
small boutique bars. With the decorations
combining both Western and Chinese
elements, people can swing to the music and
enjoy the nightlife.
Bar owners know each other and they get
along like a big family. If Hong Ting is noisy
and crowded, the owner Gao Ming might
recommend the nearby Qing Guo cafe to
the guests. The cafe’s owner Lao Tang offers
homemade drinks and some simple snacks.
On the other side of street opposite to
Hong Ting, there is the MapHouse featuring
a Japanese style with dashing waiters
and bartenders. A few steps away is the
bar Spring Again with ancient Chinese
decorations.
She got to the second floor because there
were too many tables and people downstairs
and people could barely walk. “But I really
like the bar. The second floor is like a terrace,
where you can see what is happening
downstairs but still having your own privacy.”
The Italian admitted that the bars in
Zhouzhuang are still different from the
nightlife in Shanghai.
“Well, first of all, what I noticed was that the
Chinese band was just singing in Chinese.
Also the menu was just in Chinese. Shanghai
has more of an international community, so
in almost all the pubs with live music, the
bands sing in English,” she said.
“For the rest I would say that Zhouzhuang
pubs were pretty similar to the pubs you can
see in Sanlitun in Beijing. I like these kinds
of pubs because there is a more intimate
atmosphere. In Shanghai is difficult to find
such intimate places,” Schillirò added.

HERO
Oscar Wilde
This month's winner is...
Afghan dragon
Peter Hsiao
Irish president Michael D.
Higgins was in China in
December, where he did the
classic diplomatic dance: See the
Great Wall, meet with Xi Jinping,
promote trade and claim that
Oscar Wilde was responsible for
the Chinese revolution.
In a speech at an Irish art
exhibition opening in Beijing,
Higgins said that Wilde’s classic 1891 essay The Soul of Man
Under Socialism influenced
China’s revolutionaries in the
early 1910s. Or, as the Irish
Independent wrote, Higgins “let
the Chinese in on a little secret Oscar Wilde can be credited with
the country’s independence.”
Ah yes, the whole thing was
Oscar’s idea after all. There are,
in fact, a few reports of Wilde’s
work circulating in Chinese
translation by around 1908, so
it’s not wholly impossible that
the work was read by some of
China’s 1911-era intelligentsia.
Or, again, as the Independent
puts it, “Just goes to show, look
hard enough and you can find an
Irish connection to almost every
world event.”

QUOTE OF THE MONTH
So says Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg, while meeting
with Chinese internet regulator Lu Wei in California last month. The
book in question was none other than Xi Jinping’s own The Governance
of China, a 500-plus page collection of Mr. Xi’s speeches and interviews.
First Zuckerberg spoke decent Mandarin at Tsinghua University in
October, and now this: he’ll learn to cook a mean mapo doufu next…

Abbas Alizada
got quite a bit of
internet fame
last month when
the 21-year-old Afghan posted
some selfies that bore a striking resemblance to none other
than Bruce Lee. Alizada is a selfdescribed Lee fan, who knows
his way around some flips, kicks
and is nifty with the nunchucks.
When asked how he feels about
his doppelganger, Alizada said
that “Bruce Lee is a model for
our society. I may not be Bruce
Lee [ed: yet] but I’ll continue on
his way.” Please, somebody buy
the guy that yellow jumpsuit.
That’s the age of China’s coolest
grandmother, a 1933-born

who went on her first skydiving

place on a visit to her son in
Australia. ‘Flying Granny’ landed
unharmed, to the great delight
of a crowd that had gathered

OBAMA
Beijing basher
“You would not want your kids growing up in Beijing right now,”
Barack Obama said last month, “because they could not breathe.” He
was speaking in America, defending his administration’s new environmental legislation. Obama noted that Los Angeles used to have
its share of PM2.5 too – but since 1960, car emissions in the oncesmoggy LA have plummeted by some 99 percent, making it a place
where Obama would, presumably, have no problem raising his kids.
Maybe Sasha and Malia Jr. will venture out to Beijing sometime in the
future…
KONUNDRUMS
Kardashian Klash
A Chinese millionaire identified by TMZ as ‘the Asian Ryan Seacrest’
is suing Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian after the sisters entered his
California home without permission, disturbed his property, filmed
the whole thing and – the final twist of the dagger – said that the
home had “bad feng shui.” The homeowner was tipped off that something wasn’t right when he returned to his house to find some plates
astray, salt and sugar that was “significantly used” (who’s been eating
my porridge?) and a pair of Pittsburgh Steelers slippers in a closet. He
contacted the realtor who was in charge of the property, only to find
out that he’d let the Kardashian klique come in and film the place.
EXITS
Fresh air
The cabin air in commercial planes may be a bit stale, but what to do
about it? Well, if you were one man aboard a Hangzhou to Chengdu
flight last month, you’d pop open the emergency exit and take a deep
breath. Thankfully, the yet-unidentified man decided to open the exit
door while the plane was still on the runway: he caused an inconvenience, but fortunately not a massive depressurization. One Weibo user
aboard the plane said, “A stewardess asked why he pulled the lever
and he said he was just opening the window to get a breath of fresh
air.” And that’s exactly what he got. Along with a hefty fine.
LOVE
Drone darling
Let’s try to follow the logic here: Man loves girl. Man and his friends
hold up a bunch of signs below her window saying “I love you.” Man
fills a drone with luxury products and tries to fly it into her window.
Yeah, we think step 3 still needs some work. This was tried in Hebei,
where a man apparently had more love (and money) than sense.
When he tried to pilot his four-rotor remote-controlled drone up
into a girl’s university dorm window, she and her friends freaked
out, beating it away with mops and brooms. Droneo, Droneo, where
for art thou Droneo? Oh right, in a heap of broken electronics on the
ground.

T
here are few buildings as deliberately
theatrical as the Grand Epoch City in
Hebei. Built at a cost of some RMB3
billion and covering an area of over 2 million
square meters, the state-owned retreat is a
near perfect 1/6th scale replica of Qing-era
Beijing, replete with towering city walls,
ornate temples, tranquil lily ponds and winding alleyways.
Located within easy reach of the capital,
the enormous leisure complex was originally
conceived as a place for holidaying government officials to unwind. But, with lavishness
among public servants now discouraged, and
the central government’s anti-corruption
drive in full swing, the complex has been
turned over to alternative commercial uses.
Tonight it will play host to Hebei’s firstever professional wrestling bout. Organized
by little-known American independent outfit, the World Wrestling Network [WWN], the
event is the first stop on a four-date, weeklong China tour that will travel to Emeishan
and Chengdu, before returning to Beijing
for a final show at the 20,000-capacity
MasterCard Arena.
Quite how Hebei audiences will react to
the WWN’s particular brand of high-flying,
high-tempo acrobatics remains unknown. At
the WWN’s opening press conference, held
the previous night (somewhat inexplicably) at a German brewery in the suburbs of
Beijing, the organization’s brand ambassador, Trevin Adams, had jokingly summarized
the trip as an “obscure wrestling company,
on a tour of obscure Chinese towns.”
As summaries go, it wasn’t too far from
the truth.
Although popular in other parts of Asia –
most notably Japan – professional Americanstyle wrestling has so far failed to catch on in
China, where audiences appear disinterested
in its complex soap-opera style plots and
overt US nationalism.
(The world leader in professional wres-
14
tling, the WWE, currently has a long running
storyline in which a Russian wrestler named
‘Ruslev’ – who is in actual fact Bulgarian –
and his spokesperson ‘Lana’ parade around
in Russian flags and mock American values
in order to get a rise from the crowd.)
The WWN’s Chinese partners – Great
Wall Sports and state-owned investment
firm Citic – while publicly supportive of the
tour, remain uncertain as to its short-term
viability. During a private meeting with Great
Wall Sports, the company’s director Niu Lixin
confesses to having never watched American
wrestling.
It’s not like they
grew up watching
Hulk Hogan on TV. To
them, it’s just guys in
spandex pretending
to hit one another.
“I have no idea whether it will work in
China. It is a big risk for us,” he explains. “We
view it more as a potential long-term investment. Assuming it can be remodeled for the
domestic market.”
Similar questions were being asked
among the wrestlers at the press conference.
Recalling a time several years ago when he
wrestled in India, WWN champion Trent
Barretta was concerned that Chinese crowds
might not buy into the theatrics and simply
laugh at the absurdity of it.
“There’s a definite chance of it happening,” he explained, in between sips on a free
German beer. “It’s not like they grew up
watching Hulk Hogan on TV. They have no
point of reference. To them, it’s just guys in
spandex pretending to hit one another.”
Barretta, who has recently undergone
surgery on one of his knees, and is competing in Hebei against the advice of his doctor,
is among the tour’s poster boys. A former
WWE superstar who once wrestled in
front of an audience of 80,000 at the Royal
Rumble, he is now rebuilding his career as
a successful and charismatic indie wrestler,
packing venues with anywhere between 50
to 500 people.
“Wrestling in the WWE was like playing
the triangle in Pink Floyd, whereas working
the indie circuits is like being a lead singer in
your own punk band,” Barretta says, by way
of analogy.
“The truth is, coming to China on this
tour is among the greatest things I’ve been
involved in. I love being a wrestler and I’m
lucky that I can make my living from it.”
Not everyone, though, is so fortunate. Of
the 26 WWN wrestlers who have made the
trip to China, only a handful are able to survive on wrestling alone. Most work second
jobs, with many opting to take unpaid leave
in order to join the tour.
“Wrestling on the indie circuit is definitely not a glamorous lifestyle,” says Caleb
Kolony, a popular young indie wrestler from
North Carolina, who helps run his family’s
business selling professional wrestling
equipment when not performing.
“Most the guys here aren’t doing this
for money or fame, not when some of them
are wrestling in front of a handful of people
for USD100 a show. They’re doing it for the
love,” continues Kolony.
“You’ve got to really love wrestling to put
your body through this, week in, week out.
You get beat up real quickly. There’s not a
person on this tour who’s not carrying a bad
injury of some sort. People think wrestling’s
all fake, but it’s rough, man.”
Back at the Grand Epoch City, Gabe
Sapolsky – the WWN’s 42-year-old booking agent – is preparing to give a pre-show
feature » CITY
speech. It is approaching 2pm on the first
day of the tour and rehearsals for the
evening’s event are scheduled to start in under an hour.
As the man responsible for deciding who
wins and who loses, Saplosky wields the
power to make or break a career. Should the
tour prove to be a success, those wrestlers
promoted to top billing will stand to reap the
biggest rewards.
“Listen up everybody. I’m gonna keep
this simple. I don’t want any drama today.
You understand? No drama.” The wrestlers,
dressed in matching black tracksuits, nod
attentively.
“Remember, this is our chance to create a
lasting relationship, to build something special, to create something big,” says Sapolsky.
“You don’t know who any of these people
might be out there. Any one of them could be
a sponsor.
“So stay calm and act polite. This is a really, really big opportunity for all of us, no
matter what your role. For the WWN, for you,
and for your buddies in the future – don’t
screw it up.”
I accompany the wrestlers on the short
15
feature
lead
walk from their Forbidden City-themed hotel
to the Grand Epoch City’s lavish 6,000-seat
indoor stadium, the venue for tonight’s
event. Inside, last minute adjustments are
being made to the ring and a row of cheerleaders – students from the local college of
dance – practice their moves in time to a
thumping US hip-hop soundtrack.
As the wrestlers begin to warm up and
run through their routines, I find myself
ringside with Larry Dallas, a 30-year-old
former wrestler turned ‘manager.’ The only
performer on the WWN’s China talent roster
who isn’t a wrestler (pro wrestling is full
of peripheral characters to drive the story
lines), Dallas’ role is unique.
“I play the arch villain,” he explains. “I
was on a reality TV show when I was younger, so my character is an exaggeration of that:
this guy who thinks he’s a celebrity, but really he’s a nobody,” he laughs.
“I’m the hype man, like [US rap group
Public Enemy’s] Flavor Flav. I come down to
the ring and stir things up. On a good night,
I can get the whole crowd screaming insults
at me.”
With rehearsals wearing on, our conversation begins to shift onto the topic of China.
“It’s all just so intriguing, I feel like no one
else here [on this trip] really gets how crazy
this all is,” says Dallas.
“I mean, look around. What do I tell
people when I go home? What do I tell my
girlfriend? That I performed in this big fake
ancient Chinese city, as a guest of the Chinese
government? I mean how will people relate?
It’s impossible. This is all so surreal to me
right now.”
Soon Dallas and I are joined by Earl
Cooter, ‘The Southern Stud.’ In WWN’s current storyline, Dallas’ and Cooter’s characters are part of the same stable of heels
[villains], and the two often accompany one
another to the ring.
“Larry’s right. This is a much bigger opportunity than a lot of people here seem to
realize. China is the next big wrestling frontier,” says Cooter, who plans on adopting the
pseudonym ‘Mr. Shuai Ge’ (‘Handsome Guy’)
for tonight’s show.
“Wrestling is a pretty universal language,” he continues. “It’s not all that difficult
to understand, so long as you adjust the
characters for local audiences.”
It is around this time that rehearsals
draw to an end and the wrestlers are ushered away into the backstage locker area.
With the crowds yet to arrive, I meet with
self-professed fixer Wang Haiyan.
A Florida native, Wang first came to
China with boxing promoter Don King in
late 2008, and has since helped a number
of American sporting organizations connect with Chinese government partners.
Surveying the stadium, he weighs up the
WWN’s chances of success.
“I can’t be too optimistic. There is a

and Trent Barretta; Ivelisse, Larry Dallas and Jody

whole market missing here. In America,
children love the performance and grow up
knowing its culture. But here, people have
no idea who these people are. Still, it’s worth
a try. After all, the potential for growth is
huge.”
As I take my seat for the evening’s show,
a representative from Citic reveals to me
that almost all of the tickets have been given
away for free. “It was impossible to sell them
and it is better to have a full house than an
empty one,” he says, as crowds of locals begin to fill the stadium.
The crowd – a mix of curious families,
middle-aged businessmen and young people – now numbers somewhere in excess of
2,000. Taking up the row directly in front
of me are a group of men in their mid-20s.
Having received complimentary tickets
through a friend, they reveal how they have
spent much of the day watching old WWE
wrestling clips on Youku in preparation for
tonight’s show. “Nothing exciting ever happens in Hebei,” says one of the men. “This is a
big deal for us.”
The show’s opening match is a tag-team
bout, pitting AR Fox and Rich Swann against
the Bravados. Entering the ring to the sounds
of Lionel Richie’s ‘All Night Long,’ Swann and
Fox dance their way through the crowd.
To Western audiences familiar with
wrestling tropes, their actions and brightly
colored clothes clearly mark them out as
the good guys (or babyfaces, in wrestling
parlance). The reaction of the crowd, however, suggests otherwise. Their all-singing
all-dancing entrance elicits little more than
perfunctory applause.
The opponents, on the other hand, receive cheers, despite their well-signposted
arrogance. As the match gets underway, I ask
a woman sitting next to me why she is choosing to cheer for the Bravados.
“Because they are real Americans!” she
says, seemingly surprised by my question. In
actuality, both teams are American, but only
the Bravados are Caucasian.
Similar misunderstandings occur
throughout the evening. Self-professed ‘arch
villain’ Larry Dallas is repeatedly applauded,
even when attempting to interfere with the
match (woman next to me: “He looks like an
honest businessman.”)
Attempts by various wrestlers to engage
the crowd with verbal banter fall flat. Later,
an elaborate and well orchestrated set piece,
which involves Trent Barretta feigning injury,
results in widespread aggravation – and
prompts many in the crowd to leave, including the family next to me, who are now “sure
that the event is fixed.”
Others seem equally bewildered. One
middle-aged man wonders whether the
wrestlers were simply taking it easy because
they are in Hebei. “They could never get
away with this in Beijing! They must think
that we’re stupid, because we live in a small

town. But we can see that they’re cheating!”
By the time the final bout is announced,
the crowd has shrunk to around 300 people, many of whom seem more interested
in checking their phones, than they do the
performance.
After the event, I catch up with Barretta,
Kolony and Cooter, to get their take on how
the show went down. From the perspective
of a Western wrestling fan, the event could
be considered something of a success. The
matches were consistently engaging; particularly impressive were the high-flying stunts,
many of which required a high degree of
technical aptitude and athleticism.
Barretta is more critical, though: “It was
too elaborate for the audience, the characters
were too nuanced. It needs to be simple. Like
the WWF in the 80s – obvious villains and
heroes. We need to slow it down and work
the crowd. We need to go back to basics.”
Cooter, whose own attempt at introducing himself under a Chinese pseudonym was
vetoed by the organizers, agrees, suggesting
that they consider introducing more Chinese
characters and themes. “At the very least
we’ve got to start throwing some Chinese
words around.”
As I leave the venue, I catch up with Niu
Lixin, the director of Great Wall Sports. “They
are very professional and the product is
good,” he tells me. “Based on what I’ve seen,
there’s definitely room for market growth.
I think this could become an annual thing…
just not in Hebei.”

How I lost Duck Rivers
The tragic teppanyaki-induced story of man-loses-bird
BY Zach etkind
W
hat follows is the story of
the night I lost Duck Rivers,
my pet duck. It still ranks
as one of the most traumatic experiences I’ve had in Shanghai.
First, some back-story. I bought a
duck back in the fall of 2013. He was
tied up outside a wet market about to
be slaughtered, and I thought it’d be a
nice thing to save his life and make him
my new sidekick in the video series.
At first, I was concerned about
where I would keep him. It turns out
ducks don’t have anal sphincters, which
means they can’t be potty trained. So
keeping him in my house was pretty
much out of the picture (unless I wanted to change his diaper three times a
day).
Luckily, I
had two very
generous friends
- thanks Em and
Dan! - with an
apartment and
back garden in
the former French
Concession who
agreed to take him
in as long as I provided his food.
What followed
was an amazing
five months of bliss, when Duck Rivers and I
shared many magical memories together – as
well as some not so magical… I brought him
up on stage with me during my performance
at Midi Music Festival, which pissed off more
than a few people. Sorry about that.
Flash forward to May 2014, and Duck
Rivers is living on my balcony having been
evicted by his former landlords due to the
Great Bird Flu Scare of 2014. Not a perfect arrangement – my roommates wanted him dead
as he made the balcony unusable due to his
excrement. Anal sphincters – truly a blessing…
This was also the same time that I had two
childhood friends come out to visit. We decided to hit up a teppanyaki spot. An aggressive
move for a week night: three dudes shoveling
unlimited meat and booze into their guts is a
recipe for disaster.
To make a long story short, things got a bit
messy and I made it back to my apartment a
bit later and quite a bit more inebriated than
planned. Despite my state, I didn’t forget to
feed Duck Rivers and wash out his poopfilled balcony nest.
Here is where the story takes its tragic
turn.
18
It turns out
ducks don’t
have anal
sphincters,
which means
they can’t be
potty trained…
As I was putting the mop back into the
sink on my balcony, I lightly tapped the
faucet head, causing it to fall off and start
gushing water out of the hole in the wall at
a terrifyingly fast rate. I panicked, closed
the door to the balcony and started screaming at the top of my lungs in hopes that my
roommates would show up and fix things.
My roommate did show up, but promptly decided it was probably better that he
went back to bed and pretend nothing was
happening. After two minutes, water started
to leak into my dining room and kitchen,
and the level was so high on the balcony that
Duck Rivers was literally swimming.
I ran out to the front of my apartment
complex and asked the bao’an for help. Back
then my Chinese was pretty limited, so I just
started frantically yelling “Shui! Bao! Bang
wo!” (“Water! Explosion! Help me!”) He nodded. I told him my apartment number and
headed back up to my place in a last-ditch
effort to stem the flow.
Three minutes later, help was nowhere
to be seen and my entire dining room
and kitchen was covered in inches of
water. After two more failed attempts
at getting the bao’an to help, I had to
physically drag the man up to my apartment by his collar.
By his look of surprise when he
entered an apartment half submerged
in grimy water, he must have not realized that when someone comes to you
frantically screaming and on the brink
of tears, it’s probably an emergency. He
promptly called maintenance and told
them to come up.
At this point, I realized I still had a
duck swimming laps around my house.
To help maintenance focus on the flood
and not get distracted by the fowl, I decide to move Duck Rivers down to the
small pond in my apartment complex
courtyard.
As I was walking back inside, I saw
my duck waddle out of a bush, walking sideby-side with a white cat. A maintenance
guy turned around and saw this too, and
just stood there staring wide-eyed, trying to
comprehend the vision before him. Before
he could process what was going on with the
wildlife, I rushed him into my apartment. He
unlocked a random panel in the wall, turned
a knob and stopped the deluge. Thank God!
I started assessing the damage and
soaking up the shin-deep water that covered
my floor, completely forgetting that I had left
my duck downstairs wandering around with
some cat. Twenty minutes later I remembered and ran down to the courtyard, but
he was nowhere to be found.
I asked all the staff who were still
awake whether or not they’d seen a duck
and cat walking around, but they just
looked at me as if I’d completely lost my
mind. I wandered the streets forlornly for
another two hours.
With no sign of Duck Rivers, at 6am I
admitted defeat and collapsed on my bed.
I ended up oversleeping, getting fired from
my freelance teaching gig and I never saw
Duck Rivers again. I’d like to think he just
decided to migrate south with that white cat
and they’re somewhere crushing mojitos on
a beach right now, but I’m afraid the truth is
probably much grimmer.
Moral of the story: Never eat teppanyaki
on a Tuesday.

The Perils of the Rude Customer
in North America and China
Professor Daniel Skarlicki From Sauder School of Business,
UBC, Talks About His Research
T
he University of British Columba’s
Sauder School of Business is Canada’s
leading academic business school,
with a 50-year history of academic partnerships in Asia. Sauder was among the first
North American schools to offer an MBA
program in China. The IMBA program that
launched in 2000 with Shanghai Jiao Tong
University is taught entirely by Sauder professors, and includes two residential study
trips to Vancouver.
Daniel Skarlicki, a professor at the
University of British Columbia’s Sauder
School of Business, has recently co-authored a study that suggests that American
service workers are more likely to sabotage
rude customers, while Chinese workers
often react by disengaging from customer
service altogether.
“In North America, employees tend to
retaliate against offensive customers – doing things like giving bad directions or serving cold food. In China, workers are more
likely to reduce the general quality of service they provide to all customers – nasty or
nice,” says Professor Skarlicki.
Published in the journal Personnel
Psychology, Skarlicki and former Sauder
PhD student Ruodan Shao focused their
study on front-line employees in a hotel
that operates in both Vancouver and Beijing.
They studied how employees reacted to illmannered guests in these culturally distinct
locations.
According to Skarlicki, the study is responding to questions raised by North
American service corporations when expanding their operations to China, and vice
versa with Chinese companies in North
America.
During the study, participants were required to report the frequency of customer
abuse experiences, of customer-directed
sabotage as a result of abuse and the level
which people generally enjoyed their jobs.
“Our research shows that culture plays
a significant role in how front-line workers deal with customer abuse,” says Daniel.
“North Americans take a surgical approach
to abuse, zeroing in on individuals who mistreated them, while Chinese tend to blame
the system – the company or customers
they serve.” 
It turns out that, although the level of
abuse was consistent in both locations,
North Americans were 20 percent more
likely to resort to sabotage to get revenge,
whereas Chinese workers were 19 percent
more likely to express a lack of enthusiasm
for their jobs generally, responding negatively to statements like, “I voluntarily assist guests even if it means going beyond
job requirements.”
Noting that managers must be mindful
of these cultural differences when expanding operations across the Pacific, Daniel
Skarlicki suggests that the differing cultural
responses observed in the study are in line
with established traits of the two cultures,
with North Americans tending to be more
individualistic and Chinese more collectivistic.
He believes the study clearly shows
that when service-oriented companies expanded globally, they need to be sensitive
of the cultures in which their front-line staff
interact, and should tailor their customer
service operations accordingly.

INTO THE GREAT
UNKNOWN
China’s most famed
explorers and adventurers
BY Ryan Kilpatrick
C
hina is not exactly known for discovering or settling any new overseas territories – and considering Europe’s colonial legacy, that’s not necessarily
something to be embarrassed about. However, the country
would never have grown as large and influential as it did
without at least a few brave souls who dared to venture off
the map and into the history books. Some were tempted
out to sea by the siren song of personal or national glory,
while others defied the driest deserts and most dangerous
seas in pursuit of knowledge. These are the most illustrious and celebrated of China’s adventurers…
ZHENG HE
When Zheng was just a boy, his father died
and he was promptly taken captive, castrated and placed in the household service
of Zhu Di, the future usurper to the throne
who would become known as the Yongle
Emperor.
It wasn’t an auspicious start, but Zheng
He was to become the indisputable champion of all Chinese explorers. Between 1405
and 1433, Zheng commanded seven voyages
of trade and discovery, traveling throughout
South and Southeast Asia, and as far as eastern Africa.
Soon after seizing power, the Yongle
Emperor ordered the construction of the
greatest fleet humanity had ever seen. Who
did he choose as its head captain? None
other than his trusted servant Zheng He, who
had helped Yongle seize power by getting the
palace eunuchs on his side.
The armada wasn’t just impressive on account of its size, however; by the standards
of the day, the Treasure Fleet was a technological marvel, featuring innovations such
as watertight bulkheads. European naval
architects wouldn’t concoct ships to match
Zheng’s fleet until the 19th century.
It was dubbed the ‘Treasure Fleet’ on
account of the porcelain, silk and other valuables carried on board to trade with foreign
peoples. The voyages were part floating
trade fair and soft power putsch, but they
also served to remind the empire’s neighbors
that the Chinese were back in control, and
that they expected tribute.
When Zhu Di eliminated the rightful emperor, he burned the imperial palace down

with him inside. The body was never found,
however, and the flames of Zhu Di’s paranoia
never died down. Fearful that his rival to
the throne may have escaped to amass his
forces abroad and reclaim power, the Yongle
emperor also wanted Zheng He to scour the
known world for him.
China’s experiment with sea power died
along with the Yongle Emperor himself. In
the early 15th century, the Ming navy numbered around three and a half thousand vessels, but by 1500 it was a capital offense to
build vessels with more than two masts, and
in 1525 an imperial edict ordered the destruction of all oceangoing ships. As the Ming
turned inward, Europe’s Age of Discovery
and empire-building was just beginning.
Today, as China’s clout grows regionally
and the nation’s maritime presence widens,
Zheng He is increasingly invoked as a historical model, portraying China’s 21st-century
naval build-up as merely the latest manifestation of a benign regional dominance that
can be traced back to Zheng’s voyages.
Despite the immensity of Zheng’s fleet
and its enormous political ramification,
however, he mainly traveled along longestablished trade routes and did not discover
any new lands.
(Unless, of course, you’re pop-historian
Gavin Menzies, author of 1421: The Year
China Discovered the World, who asserts that
Zheng and his admirals discovered North
and South America as well as Australia,
New Zealand, Antarctica and the Northwest
Passage – all before solving the longitude
problem. Oh and sparking the Italian renaissance, kindly remembering to give Magellan
and every other European explorer the maps
they later used to accomplish the same and
steal all the credit.)
history » CITY
Zhang Qian set out from the Han capital of
Chang’an in 138 BC, heading west to forge
an alliance with the Yuezhi people against a
mutual enemy – the nomadic Xiongnu tribes
which had recently killed the Yuezhi king and
drank wine from his skull. As you do.
The daring mission meant passing right
through Xiongnu-held territory to reach their
potential allies. During his journey, Zhang
was captured by the Xiongnu, (understandably unhappy about the Chinese sending an
envoy across their lands to negotiate an alliance with their enemies) and held captive
for a decade before finally escaping. When he
did get free, though, Zhang didn’t run back to
safety in Chang’an; he merely persisted in his
mission to pursue entente with the Yuezhi.
Zhang Qian failed to achieve the diplomatic goals of the mission, but when he returned
to the imperial capital, he regaled the emperor with tales of how prized Chinese goods
were in the Central Asian markets he visited,
and convinced him to use the full might of the
empire to secure these trade routes and ensure the safety of those using them.
Although trade routes connecting China
to South and Central Asia had existed long before Liu Bang founded the Han Dynasty in 206
BC, they were tortuous, perilous paths that
wound through hostile territory, where traders were easy prey for nomadic bandits.
Thereafter, however, the Silk Road flourished, and China and her trading partners
prospered like never before. The foundations
for China’s golden age under the Tang had
been firmly laid, thanks to the intrepid Zhang
Qian.
When a guy builds an army of 8,000 terracotta warriors to keep his corpse company
in a massive necropolis, it’s fair to say he’s a
bit concerned about this whole afterlife deal.
Before it came to that, though, China’s first
emperor Qin Shi Huang was determined to
unlock the secret to eternal life, obsessively
pursuing a legendary elixir of immortality.
Xu Fu was one of the emperor’s court
sorcerers tasked with procuring this magical potion. According to legend, there were
mythical islands thousands of kilometers to
the east populated by immortals, and it was
Xu’s job to find these lands and bring their
secrets back to the emperor.
When he returned from his first expedition empty-handed, Xu told the famously
ruthless Qin Shi Huang that they had only
failed because a giant sea monster had
thrown them off course. Hearing this, Qin
gave Xu a division of imperial archers and
3,000 virgins (of course) and sent him on his
way again.
This time, Xu did find something. It
wasn’t the spring of eternal life, but it was
a vast, fertile, exquisite and promising land
somewhere in modern-day Japan.
Perhaps realizing that he had run out
of plausible excuses (like sea monsters)
for not finding the clearly non-existent potion of immortality, and that if he returned
home empty-handed once more the emperor
would have his head, Xu Fu did the rational
thing and stayed put, setting up his own
kingdom instead.
Around the same time that all this went
down, Japan’s ancient Jomon culture suddenly disappeared and dramatic leaps in
farming techniques occurred, improving
local inhabitants’ quality of life and laying
the foundation for ancient Japanese society.
Many believe that Xu’s arrival was the catalyst for Japan’s development – in some parts
of Japan, Xu is worshipped as the God of
farming, medicine and silk.
Meanwhile, back in China, Qin Shi Huang
died from ingesting mercury, which he believed would make him immortal (oops) and
his empire crumbled, hurling China into violent disunity and chaos. Wherever Xu ended
up, it’s highly unlikely he had any regrets.
ZHANG QIAN
XU FU
XUANZANG
Hailing from modern-day Henan, Xuanzang
was ordained as a novice monk in Luoyang
aged just 13. He and his brother then fled the
chaos of the former Sui capital for Chengdu
and the new Tang capital at Chang’an, where
he became a full monk at age 20.
Inconsistencies, contradictions and discrepancies in the Buddhist texts he studied
always irked Xuanzang, so he took it upon
himself to trace Chinese Buddhism back
to its origins in India. Inspired by a dream,
Xuanzang set out from imperial capital
Chang’an in 629, and arrived in India a year
later, after a harrowing cross-country trek.
Xuanzang did a Grand Tour of the
Buddhist world and studied under various
masters before returning to China in 645,
where he was met with the highest honors.
When the Taizong Emperor offered him
a civil appointment, however, he refused.
Instead, Xuanzang retired to a monastery
and devoted the rest of his life to translating
more than 600 Mahayana and Hinayana texts
that he brought back from India.
Xuanzang’s account of his pilgrimage, the
Great Tang Records on the Western Regions,
was the most detailed account of Central
and South Asia ever completed. Although
he set out solely to obtain Buddhist texts,
Xuanzang’s epic quest became much more
– his record included much about the area’s
politics and history, leaving accounts that
would help historians shed light on the region over a millennium later. His translations
also became the last remaining versions of
numerous sacred texts, compelling future
scholars to work from his Chinese translations rather than the lost originals.
Xuanzang’s Silk Road journey inspired
the Ming-era novel Journey to the West, now
regarded as one of the Four Great Classical
Novels of Chinese literature and subject to
infinite reinterpretations and remakes.

Style Secrets
Marine Bigo, founder of Minirine
What’s Minirine?
Minirine is a concept through which fashion
is re-contextualized by working on and looking at different perspectives, such as the
idea of creating garments that suit the mood
and needs of who wears them. It’s a mix of
art and style. All my collections have strong
visuals, but they are also big on comfort
and practicality. I like to say they’re made to
color your life.
What are you working on right now?
The next winter collection, which is all about
the changes in my way of seeing things. I’m
finding myself really inspired by sport, but I am
also looking at simpler approaches to everyday
life. It might be because of the 30s crisis…
What brought you to China?
A passion for traditional Asian costumes and
traditional Chinese medicine and therapies.
But also soy sauce and dumplings. China is a
good place to be as a fashion designer. I think
of Shanghai as the textile meeting point of
the world.
Describe your style in three words.
Dynamic, multifunctional and funky.
Latest fashion purchase?
I actually don’t really shop that much anymore
– I make all my clothes myself, so when I go
shopping I mostly spend my money on fabrics
and old school vintage clothes. Sometimes I see
some cool stuff and it gives me ideas, so instead
of buying it I just get inspired by it and create
something new. The only thing I’ve been purchasing quite a lot of over the last two years is
shoes. I love shoes…
Besides your own, what are your favorite
labels in Shanghai?
Uma Wang, Mayumi Sato and Ban Xiaoxue.
Where in Shanghai do you go for inspiration?
The old parts of town mostly, where the shikumens are slowly disappearing. I also often
go to museums like MoCA Shanghai and the
Rockbund. I like to bike around and get lost
– it’s the best way to discover new areas of
the city. I get ideas from the architecture, the
people, the colors, the noises.
Fashion is…
A bitch (?!*!) Creating is being human.
What are the winter trends you like the most?
I don’t really follow trends but this season
I do like the silhouettes and color blocking
inspired by the sixties.
If you could dress a style icon, who would
that be?
Cyndi Lauper and Kusama Yayoi.

Madame Shanghai
One of our favorite Shanghai
designers, Celia Bernardo, aka
Celia B, has a penchant for
quirky patterns, wacky prints
and bold bursts of colors that
draw inspiration from the
tribal textiles of places like
Indonesia, India, Morocco and
Latin America. Her designs
have now found a permanent
home in Gubei’s Takashimaya mall, where the Spanish designer has recently unveiled her first standalone shop. A playful array of clashing textures and motifs,
the store stocks the brand’s latest collection, Le Frick C’est Chic, a delightful autumn/winter line of patchwork wools, crocheted accessories and zany separates
that are a perfect antidote to the gray moods of the cold season – and a spot-on
reflection of the creative’s almost gipsy aesthetic.

TOMS
Inspired by children he befriended while traveling some of the world’s poorest
areas, American entrepreneur Blake Mycoskie founded TOMS – a company that
matches every pair of shoes purchased with a pair of new shoes given to a child in
need – in 2006. Since then, the venture, which has trademarked the tagline “one
for one,” has been integrating old-fashioned, for-profit entrepreneurship with
new-wave philanthropy, weaving together moneymaking and giving in an unprecedented manner – so much so, that it’s often mistaken for a charity. Supporters of
such a virtuous approach to fashion can now find TOMS at the IFC mall, where the
brand has just opened
its first Shanghai flagship store. Catering
different styles and
tastes, shoes range
from RMB490-1,660
for him and RMB4901,330 for her, while
kids footwear is
RMB390-790, making
these some seriously
affordable and highly
ethical purchases.

Bored with the run-of-the-mill offerings of high street
chains like Zara and H&M, French fashion enthusiast
Justine Denoix has opened Madame Shanghai; a sizeable, brightly lit boutique a stone’s throw away from
Yongkang Lu. A veritable treasure trove of indie fashion,
the shop takes up the second floor of an old lane house,
and stands out from the pack as the only store in town
specializing in French womenswear labels. From shoes
and accessories lined-up artfully on a hefty wooden
table, racks on racks of clothes sorted by brands and
more casings filled with baubles and bags galore, you’ll
find names like Swildens,
Leon&Harper, Petite
Mendigote and Bensimon,
all exclusively imported
from Paris. For a bit of local flavor, Shanghai-based
France imports Les Petites
Shanghaiennes and Bubble
Mood are also in stock. If

D’or et D’Argent
Meaning ‘gold and silver,’ D’or et D’argent is a
London-based unisex lifestyle brand that creates
luxury digital prints on recycled materials. The
concept is that of crafting wearable art – think avantgarde graphics and funky photos reproduced on tees
and sweaters – by using a fashion technology called
dye-sublimation, which dyes color into the yarn rather than simply printing it on the surface. The label
has just launched its latest collection, Power Girl, at
jewelry store OOAK. The line celebrates the personalities
and stories of five creative females – OOAK founder Alice Xu, UK singer
and songwriter Stephanie O’Brien and fashion bloggers Claire Chanelle
of chouquette.co.uk, Jackie of German site Whaelse.com and PeruvianGerman Fiorella of fashionrella.com. Each fashionista was asked to create her own print, making for an edit of lush, beautiful t-shirts that are
artsy, unique and incredibly soft to the touch. RMB590 each.

Boys and girls looking for shirts

Montsalvatge, first made a splash
– quite literally – on Shanghai’s
creative scene in 2012, and has
been making waves ever since,
with a range of quirky, fun designs boasting panache aplenty.
The showroom, a closet-sized
space with a handful of racks
and a few edited accessories,
stocks classical shirts (RMB500900) made hip with an array
of original prints such as tiny
skiers, apple motifs, tribal prints
and polka dots. There’s also
a few exclusive numbers you
won't find on the brand’s website, as well as patterned underwear from Parisian label Tête à
Tête (from 200RMB to 500RMB
for silk). Visits are made by appointment only, so make sure to
call ahead.

A contemporary oasis
An architect and his husband's modern home

W
The house has been decorated in a contemporary chic style. The couple’s
intent was to create a simple, pared-back home that would accommodate their
collection of art, travel mementos and family photos.
hen Michael Grundleger and his husband TJ Karl first stepped into their current
home three years ago, the place was no more than a pile of plaster and rubble.
Seeing potential among the dust and dirt, they had the entire space – a two-story
house off Nanjing Xi Lu – completely renovated according to their taste, and adapted to suit
their needs. The result is an impeccably furnished pad that’s both elegant and cozy – a perfect nest for the couple and their two Labradors.
From a small but perfectly equipped bar counter, softly lit wooden
stairs take to the couple’s bedroom on the second floor.

From the floors to the ceilings, wood is a predominant element in the house. A palette of soft grays and
browns makes the most of the space’s varied woodwork and the different textures in each and every room.
A lush outdoor area
decked in wooden floors,
pebbles and rocks
welcomes visitors upon
entering the property.
Minimal and modernist, the bedroom is sun-filled and incredibly
bright. A huge mirror facing a fitted wardrobe bounces light back
into the room, giving the space an expansive feel.
A view of the dining area from the kitchen reveals
a seamlessly geometrical order to the house décor
and structure.
Although an interior design firm took care of renovations – which only took two
months - the couple chose all the fixtures and furniture. “We tried to purchase
mostly design or antique pieces,” says Grundleger, who is an architect, “using the
occasional Ikea item here and there.”
A green oasis in the middle of Jing’an, the garden is where the couple and their dogs spend most summer days. We would too.

The Slow Train to Xinjiang
A ride through China’s rapidly changing Western frontier
By Will Philipps, PHOTOS BY Karoline Kan

“
Keyi le!” exclaims the man
I’m sharing a train compartment with, as I lay down on
my cabin bed. I’ve just proved to
him that all 193 centimeters of
me can comfortably lie straight
on the sleeper berth (there had
been some doubt when we first
boarded).
The man’s name is Junfeng,
and he’s a mechanic from
Turpan, an ancient city close to
Urumqi, capital of the Uyghur
Autonomous Region, and our
next stop. His ethnically Han
family moved from Shandong
two generations ago, and he
continues to live in Xinjiang
with his wife and son. He has no
plans to move back east.
“Xinjiang will be very different in 20 years,” he says. “It’s a
land of potential opportunities.
My grandparents were sent to
work out here in the 60s, but
now there are plenty of reasons
to stay.”
I’d decided the slow train
from Beijing to Kashgar, in the
far west of Xinjiang, would be a
good way to get a glimpse of the
changes afoot.
The first leg of the route
is train T69, a 32-hour ride to
Urumqi from Beijing West, a
wormhole of a station that sucks
A man prays at Id Kah Mosque, Kasghar
in droves of passengers and
spits them out across China’s
western expanse. From Urumqi
it’s a further 24 hours on to
Kashgar, close to China’s borders
with the Central Asian nations of
Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan.
Junfeng is returning from a
round trip to Beijing to pick up
medicine for a kidney problem.
He occasionally speaks Uyghur
while talking on his phone, and
by the time we reach Gansu, the final province to traverse before
Xinjiang, he’s taught me a few essentials (a useful lesson I later find
out, as few people in Kasghar speak Putonghua).
Since it is December and temperatures in the region rarely rise
above freezing, there aren’t many other tourists, and passengers on
the train are evenly split between Han and Uyghur.
A day after leaving the capital, as the frozen furnace landscape of
Xinjiang’s Turpan basin drifts past us, the monotony and vast emptiness of the scenery highlights what a little-developed province this is.
One of the few signs of civilization on view are the raised concrete
bridges underlining a new high-speed train line that will connect
Beijing and Urumqi. The first leg of the line opened in November
2014, from Urumqi six hours east to Hami, and when it reaches
Beijing in 2017 it will cut our 32-hour journey time to 16 hours.
I’m probably in the minority to say I’ll be disappointed to see the
old olive green carriages become obsolete – Junfeng tells me in no uncertain terms he can’t wait for the opening of the quicker line. Urumqi
is positioned to become a key trading hub for China with Central Asia.
The hotels and large international airport that we see on our two-
night stopover suggests the city is
embracing the role.
Despite the fact we’ve
traveled almost the distance from
Paris to Istanbul, Urumqi’s aesthetic is markedly similar to that
of Beijing. As with China’s capital,
branches of Yoshinoya, Burger
King and Bank of China are as
frequent as the smoke stacks on
the horizon.
The only real difference being the abundance of Uyghur – an
Arabic script – on signs and billboards. The rickety old train that
brought us here, and the mostly
migrant passengers it carried,
seem to belong to a gradually fading age.
Modernity expresses itself in
other ways too. Walking through
a shopping center I spot a
Christmas tree: a self-consciously
Christian decoration, in a largely
Islamic province, in secular China.
But for all the rapid change
of urban Xinjiang, the surrounding landscape remains resolutely
untouched. Many passengers had
asked why I was traveling in the
frigid winter season; luckily there
is a single word to justify travel in
minus 20 degree climes: ‘xuejing,’
or ‘snow scenery.’
Tianchi, in the alpine
Tianshan Mountains, is an outstandingly serene lake surrounded by snowcapped mountains.
Barely a two-hour drive from
Urumqi, the contrast from metropolitan area is stark.
Train 5826 is the second leg
of the journey from Urumqi, along
a strip of isolated settlements
through the Tarim Basin towards
Kashgar. Our 4-man cabin journey
begins in the same way as the
previous.
Firstly, commotion as suitcases are crammed under beds; secondly, temporary relaxation as three tea flasks are filled with hot water
(I’ve forgotten mine); thirdly, doubts are cast aside as I prove I can lie
comfortably in my bed.
Finally, we all sit facing each other on the bottom two bunks, a
little awkwardly, no one wanting to go to bed yet as it’s only 10.30am.
It’s a routine that I suspect will be lost with the arrival of the highspeed trains.
The soft sleeper cabins are occupied mostly by ethnic Han. A couple in my compartment is traveling on to Hetian to visit their daughter who teaches there. As we wander down the cabin we pass boyish
soldiers returning home from postings, most glued to games on their
phones.
In the seating section there are large groups of mostly Uyghur
passengers, many with small children bundled up in warm winter
clothing. Conversations drift between the price of lamb, bad experiences with travel companies and what size my shoes are (48, for the
record).
The train ride between the two cities helps give some indication
My grandparents were sent to
work out here in the 60s, but now
there are plenty of reasons to
stay. Xinjiang is a land of potential
opportunities.

as to the scale of the province. For hours and hours we’re dwarfed by mountainous landscapes in every direction.
There’s an awful lot of space out here, and as much as I want the views to allow me
hours of deep philosophical introspection, most of my thoughts return to wondering why
we all live bunched up in big cities.
Also on this train are two migrant workers from Sichuan and Henan provinces.
They’re traveling to Kashgar to aid construction of the Khunerjerab Railway, which will
provide a better transport link over the mountainous border between China and Pakistan,
along the Karakoram highway.
It’s joined by a RMB250 billion contribution from China to fund improvements to
transport routes in Central Asia and Xinjiang. Both workers agree that there are good
work opportunities in Xinjiang (Beijing, they tell me, doesn’t even come close) although
they won’t reveal their wages, even after they enquired as to mine.
After arriving in Kashgar, I decide to travel up the snaking and dusty Karakoram highway. Along its route, huge concrete columns jut out precariously from the rocky valley like
outstretched arms, ready for the railway line to be laid atop.
I’d asked the workers I met on the train when the line would be completed, but they
weren’t sure. They were more interested in telling me about the picturesque Tajik minority
town, Tashgurkan, 4,000 meters up along the highway – China’s most western extremity.

How To Get There:
Use Ctrip International’s
English language website
to purchase tickets up
to 60 days in advance
(booking time has recently been extended). After booking online, pick up
the tickets at the station or an authorized ticket vendor
before departure, or have them delivered to one of 39
Chinese cities, including Beijing. (www.english.ctrip.

Where To Stay:
Icy blue waters next to the Karakoram Highway
There, they said, I should look out for the town hall, where the Han bosses lead
their reluctant Tajik and Uyghur team through their morning dance aerobics outside on the street.
Unlike Junfeng, who belongs to a generation dispatched to a remote and untapped Xinjiang, these two migrants were lured by work opportunities arising from
Xinjiang’s development. The obsolescent train provided an interesting microcosm
of Xinjiang’s fascinating transformation and culture clash.
When I arrive in Kashgar, the 50 hours of overland travel has made clear the
great distance between China’s east and west, but the divide is closing.

Kore Therapy at The Peninsula Spa
S
hanghai has luxury spas aplenty, but
few integrate new therapies and medicinal treatments in their menus.
Enter The Peninsula Spa. A calming, peaceful oasis on the Bund, this urban retreat is
at the forefront of innovative and effective
remedies for the mind and body, as its latest
offering confirms.
Starting this month, the spa is introducing – for the first time in Shanghai - the globally acclaimed KORE Therapy program to
its list of treatments, a healing method that
integrates Western and Eastern strength and
orthopedic muscle testing skills to ascertain
the root cause of pain, illness and fatigue.
Used to tailor treatments for conditions like neck, back and leg pain, and also
colds, asthma and bowel and digestive
problems, KORE Therapy was founded over
20 years ago in
the UK by Dr.
John Brazier, an
honoree Doctor
of Traditional
Chinese Medicine
and specialist in Western
musculoskel-
etal systems who is also
Vice President of Britain’s
Federation of Holistic
Therapists.
Over the years, it has
become a favorite healing
method among athletes
around the world, from
Olympian champions to
Premier League footballers,
body builders, cricketers and
professional golfers.
We had a one-on-one
session with Dr. Brazier on
a chilly December day, when
he was in town to train The
Peninsula Spa’s therapists, and, after just
one hour, felt actually relieved of some of our
physical issues.
KORE Therapy’s approach is that of diagnosing causative factors of kinks and aches
by ‘listening’ to the body through a series
of simple and subtle tissue balancing techniques to correct any issues.
Our consultation consisted of just that: a
straight up diagnosis, assessment and treatment that had us simply lying on a bed while
Dr. Brazier gently shifted our hips and limbs
to try to fix our chronic fatigue.
And it worked: we left the room feeling
enhanced and ready to fight another day –
though of course he recommended more
sessions for a full and in-depth recovery.
Guess what? We’re going back next week.
KORE therapy sessions are RMB580 for a 30
minute consultation or RMB1,200 for a 60
minute consultation + treatment (plus 15
percent service charge). MC

Hyatt Regency Chongming
P
utting a twist on your typical hotel
meeting room, the Hyatt Regency
Chongming has recently launched a
brand new meeting center, The Campus.
Designed to evoke the nostalgia of
university life, the facility – a 1,440 square
meter space on the property’s ground floor
– aims to be a learning and social center
conceived to foster creative thinking and the
exchange of ideas.
The way it does so is through a decidedly
old-school décor – think brick walls, wooden
desks, blackboards, chalks and chairs – and
an atmosphere that exudes warmth and
intimacy.
The Campus comprises a 210-seat
Lecture Hall and five Classrooms ranging
from 47 to 150 square meters that can be
used for conferences, parties and more
private activities. Three conference rooms
with floor-to-ceiling windows are directly
connected to the 300 square meter lawn – a
spot that’s going to prove perfect for outdoor
team-building events come summertime.
Each and every space, of course, comes kitted out with the latest state-of-the-art technologies, from WIFI access and a high-tech
audio system to LED screens and other meeting facilities.
After a day of lectures and seminars,
meeting attendees and conference groups
can head to the 253 square meter Activity
Hall, a hub consisting of two open kitchens
and a bar counter. Here, guests can chat with
the chefs while digging into Chinese and
Western cuisines, but also relax and socialize
with facilities like billiard tables, American
darts and table footballs. A vintage record
player adds to the space’s nostalgic aura,
and makes this the perfect place for cocktail
or dance parties. And when the booze starts
taking effect, six Song and Games rooms offer recreational activities such as karaoke,
chess and card (read: drinking) games.

In his latest solo exhibition, Shanghainese
artist Wang Dawei captures slices of daily life
from his hometown. Insider.Outsider is a celebration of the seemingly mundane, with its
scenes of lively card-playing elders, people
walking their dogs and other common sights
that Wang observed at the park and sitting
on the curb people watching.
“I won’t choose far-fetched or abstract
themes, which I personally can’t relate to
and which constantly prove to distance audiences,” Wang says.
The show takes places at FQ Projects, a
petite art gallery that’s a secret gem at the
end of a tranquil alley by Shaanxi Nan Lu. It’s
an appropriate location, as his pieces reflect
Shanghai’s history as does the surrounding
neighborhood.
Picking up an interest in ink painting
while in high school, Wang never envisioned
the day he would become an artist. “I guess
when you
started to
get paid
from it, it becomes your
livelihood,”
he says.
Since
graduating
from the
Fine Art
College of
Shanghai
Normal
University
in 2009, Wang has already participated in
group exhibitions in countries like the USA,
UK, Singapore and Australia. His works were
praised earlier this year at the Shanghai
International Contemporary Art Fair.
For Insider.Outsider, Wang is presenting
works that continue his experimentation of
mixing traditional ink painting with modern
materials. Two paintings that hold significant
meaning to him are displayed on the third
floor. He uses an oil-bound painting powder
applied on a cement brushed base on the
canvas that generates more richness in terms
of texture.
A rather noticeable touch in his work is
the unbalanced composition of facial expressions. Though it could be due to the nature of
the ink’s affect on canvas, Wang clarifies that
it’s because he wanted to put some extra flair
into them.
“They seem to be quite entertained
themselves, but their faces suggest stories
otherwise,” Wang continues, “That’s a way
to depict the happiness of vulgarity. That
speaks for the majority of us nowadays.” ZZ

Nova Heart
Nova Heart
(FakeLoveMusic)
Seconds into the Beijing’s group highly anticipated full-length debut, it’s clear they’ve shed the
sleek “evil disco” of their buzz EP Beautiful Boys
for something more challenging. Helen Feng’s
vocals remain enchanting, but are manipulated
through different effects over a foreboding musical menagerie of thumping beats and spaghetti
western guitar licks. Staples like ‘My Song 9’ – the
first by a Chinese band to score regular radio
rotation in Australia – return in the diverse disc
that veers from spare new wave ballads like
‘Lackluster Number’ to psychedelic rock freakouts like ‘Starmaker.’ The band will embark on a
world tour, remaining the Mainland band most
likely to cross over globally.

Howie Lee
Borderless Shadows
(Trapdoor Records)
What does one do after Snoop Lion recruits
you for an official remix? If you’re Lee, you
move to London and refine your brand of
“future music from Beijing.” Recorded for
his MA Sound Arts Degree from the London
College of Communication, Borderless
Shadows reconstructs found sounds and
other field recordings into a sublime rhythmic mix on the headier side of intelligent
bass music. Now back at home, Lee recently
gifted fans with the free EP, Eastside Sampler,
a dancefloor thumper comprised of East
Asian samples.
Tengger Cavalry
Ancient Call
(Metal Hell)
On their third album in four years, the young
kings of Mongolian folk metal fulfill the promise
that has many insiders tabbing them as China’s
next big thing. Featuring students from Minzhu
University of China majoring in dombra shredding and horse-head fiddle, Tengger Cavarly
find their voice on Ancient Call. They seamlessly
mix Mongolian folk with thrash metal in mythmaking epics like ‘Legend of the Horseback’ and
‘Summon the Warrior.’ Already boasting international distribution, they’re rampaging down the
trail that Scandinavian acts like Ensiferum have
taken to international acclaim.
SMZB
A Letter from China
(Maybe Mars)
As Wuhan’s original punk, Wu Wei has seen it all
from tapped phone lines to packed clubs across
Europe. 18 years in the game, SMZB remains as ferocious as ever. In their first album in three years, the
group has swelled musically for a more expansive
take on Celtic punk, with a bagpipe cover of Pink
Floyd’s ‘Wish You Were Here’ thrown in for good
measure. The record sears with social commentary,
but the band’s everyman appeal really shines through
on the anthemic title track about “six broke Chinese
guys and my American wife” that “scream for life,
freedom and rights, dignity and family.”
Zhang Qiang & New Pants
No Question of Disco
(Modern Sky)
The Mainland’s music history isn’t very long,
but this record bridges generations of synthloving pop. Zhang Qiang was the country’s
first pop star, selling two million records of
her 1985 debut Tokyo Night, that successfully
introduced Western influenced Mandopop.
She breaks her decades-long hiatus to team
up with Modern Sky dance-punk staples New
Pants to slightly update her retro disco-pop
sound. Bubbly songs like ‘Bye Bye Disco’ and
‘My 1980s’ typify the disc’s sugary sound that
never veers into cheesiness due to Zhang’s
infectious melodies.

SUBS
yoU aRe yoU
(self-released)
On their fifth record, the Beijing trio continue
to give the finger to labels, financing the record
and its accompanying American tour through
Kickstarter. Frontwoman Kang Mao continues
to prove that she is indeed the Queen of Fucking
Everything, growling on tracks like ‘Much’ and
‘Half Orc,’ while the band stretches out musically
for the cosmic blues of ‘Apple Seed’ and the bombastic album opener, ‘10,000 Arrows.’ No wonder,
a gang of European indie acts got together to
record a compilation of SUBS covers as tribute
to the band.
Sa Dingding
Wonderland
(Universal)
Nobody encapsulates the artistic possibilities
of Mandopop like the world music star. Born in
Inner Mongolia, Sa sings in Mandarin, Sanskrit,
Tibetan and an emotive self-created language,
akin to Sigur Ros’ famed Hopelandic. Prolific in
the guzheng and horse-head fiddle, she’s praised
as both a traditional folk singer and dance queen,
gracing prestigious stages like London’s Royal
Albert Hall. For this remix album, she teams up
with Shanghai’s bass lord Conrank (who released
the excellent Exhale Therapy this year) on nine
of 11 tracks for a sonic fusion that retains Sa’s
otherworldly ethereal beauty.
V.N.P. Crew
Turn It Up
(Groove Bunny)
Asian hip hop tends to be too reverential to
the old school, but this debut release from the
Guangzhou super duo of MC chill terrific and
producer Petechen is too irresistible to deny.
Dubbing themselves Verbal Nihilism Practice,
they specialize in Cantonese boom bap with tuff
tracks like ‘OK Karaoke’ and ‘Dim Sum Planet’
showing off a rugged Run-DMC/EPMD charm. It
was the first release of the year for Groove Bunny
Records, a promising label based out of Jinhua
City who’s brought an unforeseen professionalism to the game, while unearthing promising
gems like 20-year-old Guangzhou singer Kosma.
Wang Wen
8 Horses
(New Noise)
It’s been a celebratory 15th anniversary for
China’s original and premier post rock group.
They recorded their eighth album in a converted
studio built at Echo Library in their hometown
of Dalian, allowing visitors to watch as they
worked with notable producers like P.K. 14’s
Yang Haisong and Toman’s Wouter Vlaeminckx.
The result is 8 Horses, another sterling entry to
the group’s discography showcasing the graceful
grandeur that’s seen them share stages with genre titans Mono and Mogwai across the world. The
accompanying national tour packed livehouses
across the country.
FM3
Ting Shuo
(self-released)
Lauded as pioneers of China’s electronic music
scene, the Beijing-Hong Kong based duo of
Christiaan Virant and Zhang Jian have become
more known for the Buddha Machine loop player
they created that’s been praised by industrial
icons Throbbing Gristle and David Byrne. Written
and recorded while touring China last year, their
first proper album in a decade is a more classical
affair. Cello, Steinway grand piano and a vintage
Roland keyboard complement the ambient
sounds emitting from the latest incarnation of
the Buddha Machine. Over six atmospheric tracks
ranging from five to seven-and-a-half minutes,
FM3 crafts a moody masterpiece, revealing new
layers to a stately sound that The Village Voice
has described as “confrontationally tranquil.”

Hail to the King
Chart toppers Avenged Sevenfold takes over Mixing Room
By Andrew Chin
Tabbed by many as “the next giant crossover metal band,” Avenged Sevenfold’s last album Hail to the King
topped the charts in six countries, while the Californian quintet set new attendance records headlining last
summer’s Mayhem Festival alongside heroes Korn. Frontman M. Shadows recently sent fans into a frenzy,
announcing plans to work on their seventh album in the summer. But first, the band will make their first foray
into the Mainland, stopping off at the Mixing Room on January 9.
“
Honestly, we don’t know what to expect,” Shadows admits. “We’ve been to
Southeast Asia a few times and our fans
there are great. When we had the opportunity to come to China, we were really excited,
but we just don’t know if anyone has heard
of us over there.”
“We’re more going to see the country,
because we’ve heard it’s beautiful. If we do
have fans there, we’re really excited to play
for them.”
The Mainland shows launch the band’s
first Asian tour in three years, and will be
their first live performances in four months.
Shadows admits to a little nerves, but is excited about the rare opportunity to perform
in clubs.
“It’s going to be fun playing in smaller
venues,” he says. “The songs have only grown
stronger from playing live and since it’s our
first time playing in China, we’ll be playing
stuff from all of our records.”
The show’s intimacy will be unique for a
group that has long graduated to the stadium
and outdoor festival circuit, with recent high
profile shows at Rock in Rio and London’s
Wembley Arena. Released in 2013, Hail to
the King was their second straight American
number one album, with titular song topping
the Billboard rock charts for 11 weeks.
However, its more groove oriented
sound, a nod to classic rock legends and
metal inspirations Black Sabbath and Led
Zeppelin, have inspired critics to question
40
What does being not
metal enough even
mean?
Avenged Sevenfold’s metal credentials.
“I don’t pay attention to it,” Shadows
wearily sighs. “What does being not metal
enough even mean?”
His incredulity is understandable considering Avenged Sevenfold’s 16-year history.
At a time where TV’s Seth Cohen was extolling the virtues of Charmin soft indie rock
bands like Death Cab for Cutie on The OC, the
Huntington Beach band were fine-tuning a
hard-edged metalcore sound.
While still highschool students, they
released their debut album Sounding the
Seventh Trumpet on a tiny indie label in
2001. It sold 300 copies in its first week, the
first in the group’s global sales that now exceeds over 10 million.
Constant touring and the acclaim of their
sophomore album, Waking the Fallen, led to
an invitation to join the Vans Warped Tour.
Shadows calls it a turning point for the band.
“At the time, we were the only metal
group on an all-punk bill,” he recalls. “It
helped us stand out.”
It’s been a seemingly endless ascent to
the top since. Their major label debut, City
of Evil, was their mainstream breakthrough.
Still heavy enough to be included in Guitar
World’s list of 100 Greatest Guitar Albums,
the band toned down their earlier screaming and scored hits like ‘Bat Country.’ The
band memorably upset pop stars Rihanna,
Chris Brown and James Blunt to win the
2006 MTV Video Music Awards.
Now the band is big enough that they’re
able to release mobile games starring their
logo and mascot Deathbat. Firmly on top
of metal’s commercial mountain, Shadows
disregards any notion that this motivates the
band, noting “with the music industry now,
we don’t have to worry about record sales
and all that bullshit.”
With fans speculating on Avenged
Sevenfold’s next direction, Shadows admits
it’s hard to predict as the songwriting sessions are months away. However, he imagines it will be more akin to earlier records
like Waking the Fallen, which was reissued
last year for its 10th anniversary.
“Each one of our albums tends to counterbalance the last one,” he notes. “With
Hail to the King, we were more interested in
grooves and keeping it simple. I’m looking
forward to hearing how wild and crazy this
one will be.”

Dangerous Danes
Isabel Asha Penzlien
Critic’s darlings Iceage make Shanghai debut
By Andrew Chin
I
t’s the season of end-of-year lists and
Danish quartet Iceage find themselves in
the conversation for 2014’s best album.
Released in October, Plowing into the Field
of Love is a stunning statement. The group
stretches out musically to incorporate trumpet and viola, while flirting with different
genres like rockabilly, all the while maintaining the intensity that led Iggy Pop to praise
them as “the only current punk band that
sounds really dangerous.”
Recorded in an old house in northern
Sweden where the band was “away from
distraction and temptation,” drummer Dan
Kjær Nielsen beams with pride discussing
the band’s third album.
“We are very happy with how it turned
out,” he says. “We definitely grew as songwriters and it’s something I hold close to my
heart with great pride. The reception has
been good, though we would probably be
happy with it regardless.”
Being critically revered is nothing new
for the group. Formed in 2008 by childhood friends Nielsen, singer/guitarist Elias
Bender Rønnenfelt, guitarist Johan Surrballe
Wieth and bassist Jakob Tvilling Pless, Iceage
quickly became fixtures in Copenhagen’s underage punk scene.
“It’s hard to say what drove us apart
from excitement and feeling like trying to
play music," Nielsen says.
Their debut album New Brigade quickly
outgrew its initial 500-copy print run and
put the group on the map with glowing
reviews from the likes of Pitchfork, The
Guardian and the Washington Post.
“Copenhagen’s music scene is a wonderful mess of people trying out a million different ideas and concepts, each overlapping the
other,” Kjær Nielsen notes, praising contemporaries like Total Control and Femminielli.
Iggy Pop praises
Iceage as the only
current punk band
that sounds really
dangerous.
Its follow-up You’re Nothing was another
acclaimed set of brutal noise punk songs.
The group’s wild reputation only grew when
they began including Iceage branded knives
and locks of each member’s hair in their
merchandise table at shows.
As they enter their 20s, the band has
matured with Plowing in the Field of Love. At
47-minutes long, it’s nearly twice the length
of either of their past discs, with standout
tracks the dirge-like ‘Glassy Eyed, Dormant
and Vieled’ and the swaggering lead single
‘The Lord’s Favorite.’
The music video is a swaggering showcase for frontman Rønnenfelt who oozes a
sleazy charisma akin to The Strokes' Julian
Casablancas and The Libertine’s Pete
Doherty, while belting out lines like, “One
hundred Euro wine/I do believe in heaven
and I do believe it’s time.”
“It was a lot of fun making it,” Nielsen
says. “It all felt quite light hearted and befitting to the song. I don’t think it’s ever easy to
write a song, but this one seems like one that
could begin kind of writing itself once the
basic premise was formulate.”
Propelled by both the single and album’s
success, Iceage are in the midst of a world
tour that stops at Yuyintang on January
before moving onto Thailand, Australia and
New York. It’ll be their first time in China and
Nielsen is excited.
“I’m very much looking forward to seeing some of the world’s biggest cities and
all their glories, the remains of thousands
of years of culture and civilization, and the
newest, biggest, most developed metropolitan extravaganza on ancient soil,” he raves.
In return, the band promises an intense
show. Nielsen warns, “the songs are quite different live, as they are presented directly in
the flesh from us to the audience with nothing in between.”

5 Things
We Are Shanghai’s Ivan Belcic
and Michael Herd on how to
rock the city
by Andrew Chin
Takiya, neko photography
Shanghai may not have the same music reputation
as Beijing, but each January brings a new We Are
Shanghai compilation documenting the city’s music
scene. Organizers Ivan Belcic and Michael Herd are
rock vets, releasing albums earlier this year with
their groups The Machinery of Other Skeletons and
XXYY. Giving souls, they share some tips for aspiring
musicians on how to join in the fun.
1. Starting Out
IB: New faces need to just show up at shows and make connections. It’s the only way. Nathan Sidoti has been doing a lot of work
to bring Harley’s back as a viable performance space with his Rat
on Monthly event series. Stegosaurus? guitarist Josh Galyean organizes the Sunday Live shows at 696. Yuyintang has a ‘New Faces’
night and Michael Herd organizes a Rock and Roll Vandals series.
All of these target new bands, and there’s a weekly jam at LOgO on
Thursday.
2. Building a buzz
MH: Gig regularly and network with different acts to organize
shows. This will help you reach out to fans of these other acts. Try
to make your shows interesting. Have a theme to the events and
don’t try to invite the same bands over and over again as this becomes a little off putting.
IB: Promoting and ‘building buzz’ is only half the battle. You’ve got
to have your shit together on stage and put on a killer show to really get people talking.
3. Making a record
IB: Get your hands on the software and try to record on your own.
If you’re prepared to educate yourself and put in the hard work,
you might just surprise yourself with what you’ll achieve. It’s a
nice feeling to be able to stand behind something you did in-house
as a team.
4. Touring China
IB: Take trains! They’re cheaper and much less hassle than flying.
Promoting in other cities is tough. Regardless of whether you play
to a packed house or to a few tables of dice players, the onus is on
you to turn it into a fun time. If nothing else, it’ll at least be a learning experience.
MH: A big tip is to seriously brush up on your Chinese. This way
you can interact with the audiences far better, make negotiations
with the venue directly and it offers a much bigger scope of places
to visit as most cities will not have an English speaking rep who
can help out so easily.
5. Additional tips:
IB: Just be on top of your shit. Check your e-mails, follow up on
things, stay sharp and people will see you as a professional who’s
worth working with.

The Sound of Music
Andrew Lloyd Webber production takes over Shanghai
By Karoline Kan
I
t’s the coldest evening so far this winter
in Beijing, and The Sound of Music director Anton Luitingh is giving last minute
pointers to his crew. The Andrew Lloyd
Webber production has played at prestigious
stages like the London Palladium, and is
making its debut in the capital city.
He told the young actors, “try to make
every performance as fresh and full of energy as your last one.” The seven children,
who look more mature than their peers, line
up according to their height and nod their
heads.
Not far from the Beijing Exhibition
Center Theater where the musical was
staged, new Chinese audiences were dining
at the Moscow Restaurant. It was one of the
first high-end places in Beijing, formerly exclusive to people “with noted social status.”
Representing a growing audience able
to pack recent visiting international stage
hits like Fuerza Bruta and the Tim Robbins
directed A Midsummers Night Dream, they
were getting ready for the show, armed with
tickets priced from RMB280-580.
Fifty-five years after the musical was
produced, The Sound of Music still enjoys
great popularity around the world, including
China. Sitting in the audience, Luitingh made
notes. When Maria teaches the children ‘Do
Re Mi,’ he’s impressed by how well the audiences remember the English lyrics, especially
the children.
He noted the audiences wiping away
tears when the captain hugged his children.
When Nazi soldiers appeared on stage, the
director jotted in his notebook, “people are
very into the story that they look angry and
uncomfortable at the scene. The wonderful
part of the musical is you feel the audiences’
feelings change with the story going on.”
When the two kids seated next to
Luitingh started to sing along to say ‘Do Re
Mi,’ he shushed them unable to suppress a
smile inside.
He stopped interrupting the audience,
content to spend the rest of the night quietly
enjoying the audience’s applause, singing
and silent tears.
So what makes the musical still appealing to audiences today? After the show,
audience member Song Song wrote on his
microblog, “I don’t know since when, a good
stage performance has met the following requirements of raucous music, a twist-turning
plot, joyous acting, and tackling an obscure
topic in an interesting way. Artists despise
valuable virtues, which in their eyes equal to
clichés. But from today’s The Sound of Music,
our spirits are again cleaned. It reminds us of
the true image of the world.”
The wonderful part
of the musical is you
feel the audiences’
feelings change with
the story going on.
Director Luitingh agrees. He calls the
story one of the most beautiful musicals in
history with its story of a family crossing
cultural boundaries and coming together
through music and love in the midst of a
grander political story about the rise of nationalism and the Nazis.
“Even today, many places around the
world are still going through similar hardships,” he says. “This makes the story very
relevant to our real life.”
Describing The Sound of Music as “a part
of musical DNA,” Luitingh credits the musical
for making him want to become a performer.
He praises its songwriters Richard Rodgers
and Oscar Hammerstein for totally changing
the face of musicals.
“I think the amazing and impressive
thing about them is they created the formula
of musicals. Looking at a show like this,
you understand what makes people enjoy
musicals – it’s the combination of deep
emotional themes that touch people with
a happy ending. Although there is tragedy,
there is always light out there,” he says, adding, “Anybody who wants to write a musical,
Hammerstein’s formula is a very good way
to start.”
Compared with the Academy Award winning film adaptation and past versions, this
production of The Sound of Music is updated
for contemporary audiences. Some changes
have been made to make it flow faster, the
language has been modernized, costumes
have been simplified and a few details have
been changed. For example, ‘The Lonely
Goatherd’ is sung in bed by Maria and the
children to “activate a happier atmosphere.”
Following its resoundingly successful
Beijing debut and past run in Qingdao, The
Sound of Music continues their Mainland tour
stopping off at the Shanghai Grand Theatre
from Jan 8-18.
“It’s so crazy that such a Western product
has such a wide influence on the other side
of the globe after half a century,” Luitingh
says with a big smile.

Infinity and Beyond
M21 reaches for the Cosmos
By Andrew Chin
A shimmering cultural oasis has risen from the barren wastelands of the post-Expo grounds. Taking over the
former French Pavilion, the Shanghai 21st Century Minsheng Art Museum (M21) has a total area space of over
40,000 square meters. And its physical largesse is matched by its ambitious opening exhibition Cosmos that
runs until April 19.
F
our years in the making, M21 makes
an immediate impression. Jacques
Ferrier’s original exterior has been
retrofitted to increase energy efficiency, while
Zhu Pei has added a 6,000 square meter
atrium. Surrounded by a flurry of construction sites – including a subway station by its
doorstep – it is easy to imagine the museum’s
future as the centerpiece to a developing area.
The work Minsheng
does is not only buying
and collecting art,
but also working with
and investing in the
contemporary art scene.
44
In other cities around the world, M21’s
opening would be the talk of the town.
However, this is Shanghai, and last year was
an art overload. Several international art
festivals made their debut, Christie’s opened
a Bund office and – with the recent openings of the Long Museum West Bund and Yuz
Museum – the city has already seen a once
barren area transformed into a cultural hub.
“More competition with museums is
actually a good thing for the artists and the
viewing public,” says M21’s deputy director
Li Feng, who notes M21’s opening day drew a
line of families stretching outside its museum.
“One of our advantages is that we’ve been
investing in art for over 10 years and have the
vision, focus and dream to do this.”
Indeed, the Mainland’s first national
joint-stock commercial bank has been
ahead of the game in patronizing the arts.
In 2007, they were entrusted with Beijing’s
Yanhuang Museum, which celebrates 20th
century Chinese painting masters. Three
years later, they opened the contemporary
art focused Minsheng Art Museum in Red
Town. They already have eyes towards
future projects in Beijing’s 798 Art Zone
and Sanya.
“From the perspective of the bank, it’s
a point of corporate social responsibility
and a public good,” Feng explains. “From the
perspective of the museum, it’s to encourage
and push forward a focus on contemporary
art. The work we do is not only buying and
collecting art, but also working with and investing in the contemporary art scene.”
With three times the indoor gallery space
than their Red Town location, M21 offers

ample opportunity for experimentation and
massive international group shows. Opened
in late November, its inaugural exhibition
Cosmos is inspired by the infinite possibilities of theoretical physics.
“Cosmos aims to explore the multiple
possibilities of space, time, material and energy, describing them beyond structure and
rules, while examining how contemporary
art is defined and performed in our world,”
explains curator Dr. Ai Min.
“The exhibition aims to inspire audiences
and artists to think about the ambiguity of
‘existence,’ the world of human diversity and
the pluralism of social values.”
With its open-ended theme, Cosmos
features hundreds of works from 52 artists
and seven art groups, spanning 12 countries
from America to the Palestinian territories.
Works like Ryoji Ikeda’s ‘Radar,’ which coverts “all the phenomena and events of the
world” into visual mathematics displayed in
the atrium’s 10-foot screen were commissioned for the exhibition.
In a nod to the Mainland’s contemporary art history, Song Dong was invited to
recreate his influential 1995 piece, ‘A Pot of
Boiling Water’ – opening the museum by literally pouring a pot of boiling water outside,
and re-contextualizing its original message
satirizing the then-frequent complaints of
the lack of art spaces for cutting edge art.
Cosmos succeeds in fulfilling M21’s goal
that Feng defines as “international, regional
and localized art cooperation.” Shanghaibased artist Yang Zhenzhong was commissioned for ‘Please Sit,’ which features two
mechanical chairs that move when sat on.
Zhao Xiaohu’s ‘Detective Project’ is a hilarious highlight – a towering installation of TVs
recounting the findings of 10 private detectives
he hired to unknowingly tail each other.
Inspired by The Little Prince, Beijing artist Jennifer Wen Ma has crafted ‘44 Sunsets
in Day,’ a striking installation featuring banzai trees covered in Chinese ink, that are still
growing, albeit in a suspended state.
Guangdong’s Zheng Guogu’s landmark
1994 work ‘Me and My Teacher,’ a video
piece documenting a year living with a happy, homeless man in Beijing, is included. He
also contributes his 2014 piece ‘Liaoyuan’ – a
building model of a garden reconciling his
ill-fated attempt to develop 30,000 square
meters of land on the outskirts of Yangjiang
based on the computer game Age of Empires
– a much more expensive proposition in the
non-virtual world.
The list of Cosmos’ international highlights is exhausting. An hour can be spent
watching videos of Tallervo Kalleinen and
Zhao Xiaohu’s ‘Detective
Project’ is a hilarious
highlight – a towering
installation of TVs
recounting the findings
of 10 private detectives
he hired to unknowingly
tail each other.
Oliver Kochta’s open-source ‘Complaints
Choir,’ which features participants in 10 cities angelically airing out their grievances to
bemused crowds.
Harald Fernagu’s ‘Les jouets qui trainent’
plays with perspective in positioning 200 toy
trucks against one. Mediengruppe Bitnik’s
‘Delivery for Mr. Assange’ is a 32-hour
mail art piece, documenting the group’s
attempt to smuggle in a live camera to the
Ecuadorian embassy in London and engage
the Wikileaks founder in dialogue.
Other pieces range from the olfactory
(Sissel Tolaas’ ‘Self-Portrait’) to performance
art (Liu Xinyi’s ‘Civil Diplomacy’) to oil painting (Duan Jianyu’s ‘Sharp, Sharp, SMART
NO.1, No. 3, NO. 5’). A variety of canvases are
used from the floor tiles of an excavated old
house from Guangzhou to hand grips to ECG
monitors to Google Earth.
Noting the growing interest from younger
audiences to contemporary art, Ai envisions
M21 eventually attracting the sort of crowds
that flooded the Expo. However, the published
poet echoes Feng’s sentiment that the museum’s goal is to “strengthen people’s critical
faculties to understand what is good art.”
“For curators, we should be focused on
the audience’s appreciation of art,” Ai says.
“Otherwise we will lose our audience, despite the growing number of galleries.”

The Dog
Jack Livings’ take on contemporary China
By Aelred Doyle
W
hat if Chinese people spoke
English? Not by learning it,
but as their mother tongue.
Imagine how much more foreigners
would understand what was going on.
We’d get the jokes, understand the online memes, read the same newspapers
local people do.
And Chinese books wouldn’t be filtered through translation. Jack Livings
is not Chinese, he’s American. The Dog
is his first book – but every one of the
eight stories is set in post-Mao China,
and only one features a foreigner.
His choice to have his Chinese
characters think and talk in modern
American vernacular is striking, and
completely successful. It has the effect of bringing the reader closer, and
it frees Livings to just tell his stories
rather than bear the burden of explanation.
Of course, this device isn’t worth
a thing if the stories don’t hold up.
They are outstanding, and striking in
their energy. Livings wouldn’t have
been able to write them if he hadn’t
lived and taught here; but he’s an Iowa
Writers’ Workshop graduate and has
had stories published in places like
the Paris Review and Pushcart Prize
collections. This is a real writer, not an
English teacher with literary pretensions.
The Dog isn’t a ‘foreigner examines
modern China’ book – it’s not anthropology in the guise of art. Jack Livings is an
American, so he writes in American. His
characters thus become real to us, people
we can identify with rather than telling epitomes of trends in Chinese
culture.
In the funniest story, ‘An Event at Horizon Trading Company,’ a
modern office gets caught up in an absurd conflict between practitioners of Hanfu who wear classical Chinese dress to show fealty to
ancient culture, and a mocking faction who dress up as Red Guards in
opposition. All this nonsense is about currying favour with bosses as
job losses mount, and the narrator find himself caught in the middle
only because he’s not sure which way the wind is blowing.
The whole thing is ridiculous, but the way Livings writes means
we can’t dismiss it as the kind of thing that only those krayzee
Chinese could engage in – instead we think of Joseph Heller and
Catch-22, or nowadays of Joshua Ferris or Sam Lipsyte. Human irrationality and cynicism know no borders.
In ‘The Crystal Sarcophagus,’ a team of glass workers is given the
mission of building the sarcophagus that the body of Mao Zedong is
to be displayed in, with crystal made to a specification that seems
impossible.
Through accumulation of detail and lightly ratcheting suspense,
we come to understand how this becomes a driving force in the men’s
lives, in conditions that damage their health. We can question wheth-
er such a sacrifice is necessary, but the
story does not allow us to patronize
these skilled men, or minimize their
steadfastness.
Livings is superb with voice, which
is the shortest route to empathy. ‘The
Heir’ swings us through a Uyghur
grandee, his disappointing son and
PSB officer Fatty Bo, each understandable and cruel in their own way.
‘The Pocketbook,’ about a lonely
American student in Beijing, puts us
inside her head, but also lets us taste
the grim life of the street kid who
steals her wallet and the calculations
of Teacher Wu when she goes to him
for help.
Events ratchet up and cool down
in what seems a preordained way, but
we’re left with the description of the
thief as “a pro, a shadow of a boy who
existed between pauses in conversation, clinging to the underside of memory like a fly… Ten years old, he was
wastewater wrung from the sponge of
the world.”
In ‘Donate!’ Yang is caught up by
social and official pressure for charitable contributions in the aftermath of
the Sichuan Earthquake. His wife gets
mad at him when he forgets to get a
certificate after giving blood, and the
workers at the factory he owns demand he give more money.
“Yang had to find the right balance:
a donation large enough to calm the
men, but not so large as to make it look
like he had money to burn… People
only think of themselves, even when they believe they’re helping others.”
This is a fine book set in China, though we’re not sure if we should
even call it a China book – it’s more that Livings is a fine writer who
has settled on this country for now, and his next book will probably
take place elsewhere.
The final story, ‘Switchback, 1994’ is about a sad, random death
on a mountain road, and could as easily be by William Trevor and set
in Ireland. Yet anyone interested in modern China should read it, not
instead of Chinese writers, but as a thrilling collection by a big talent
who has been kind enough to set his book in a country we know a little about.
This is a real writer, not an
English teacher with literary
pretensions.

The year in film
Five movies that defined the year
By andrew Chin
After passing Japan last year to become the world’s second
largest movie market, China continues to set records at its
box office. This year it surpassed RMB25 billion for the first
time, and as the industry matures, the Mainland is producing a
more diverse array of films. Here are five movies that defined
the year. See the full recap at www.thatsmags.com/shanghai.
Transformers: Age of Extinction
Isn't it time we start considering the Michael Bay series a Chinese one? CCTV's
China Movie Channel helped co-produce it, its characters drink Shuhua milk and
it premiered in Hong Kong and Shanghai before its wider international release.
The film shattered Avatar’s mark to become the highest grossing film in Mainland
history, and the first to gross over USD300 million (nearly USD50 million more it
earned in America). 2014 was a big year for Western action films, with even the
appalling Need for Speed grossing over USD65 million here,
Gone with the Bullets
Breakup Buddies
No year can end without some censor controversy, but who would’ve thought
it would center around Jiang Wen’s 3D action-comedy-drama extravaganza?
Ever since Let the Bullets Fly became the first domestic film to gross over
USD100 million, anticipation has been high for this film. Its producers talked
big about it smashing Transformers record, with the film actually selling more
pre-sale tickets than the blockbuster. However, its splashy world premiere in
Beijing was delayed by censors. After a week of confusion, it opened on its
December 18 date with seemingly no cuts made. Despite some mixed reviews,
the film earned USD49 million in its first week.
The domestic hit of the year continues on the low-budget raunch-com formula
set by Lost in Thailand. After his Xinjiang set thriller No Man’s Land was held up
for years, Ning Hao has crafted an uproarious road trip comedy, following two
buddies fighting off a broken heart by going on the prowl for one night stands
from Beijing to Dali. The film took in nearly USD98 million during its opening
over the National Day holiday and is just the fourth domestic film to break the
RMB1 billion mark, raking in over USD188 million.
The Continent
Black Coal, Thin Ice
After winning the Golden Bear Award as Best Film at the 64th Berlin
International Film Festival, the Northern China neo-noir was a test case for
how arthouse movies will fare on the box office. Released in March, it passed
the symbolic RMB100 million box office mark, an unprecedented success for
an international film festival award-winner. Its success helped paved for the
way for the national release of Lou Ye’s Golden Horse Award winning film
Blind Massage in November, while stoking hopes that more artistic fare will
find themselves across the country’s cineplexes.
One of the more encouraging trends in Mainland cinemas
are the number of established star such as renowned actress
Zhao Wei crossing over and dabbling into film. This year,
Shanghai’s favorite son and unofficial voice of his generation,
Han Han put his writing, singing and rally race driving career
on hold to craft his first film. The Continent is a dramedy following three buddies on a road trip across the country. Its
script is filled with Han Han’s trademark wit, seeing him follow rival Guo Jingming in transitioning from online literary
star to successful film auteur. The Continent topped the box
office on its opening weekend, grossed over USD100 million
by the end of its run and just picked up a nomination for Best
Foreign Language Film at the Golden Globe Awards.

I
n Shanghai Blink, Ines Breton and
Vincent Prudhomme’s first photography
project, a unique blend of scale and detail
chronicles Shanghai through repetitions
of small, eye-catching parts of daily life - signs,
water bottles, animals – the likes of which normally pass by unnoticed.
“We wanted to create something that represents Shanghai and its atmosphere,” explains
Prudhomme. “Compilations of photos seemed
to be the best way to show the intensity and
the variety of Shanghai.”
Both from France, Breton has lived in the
city for seven years, Prudhomme for four. The
pair created the book from images captured
over two years.

“Every weekend, for two years, we would
randomly ride around Shanghai, discovering
new areas, looking for new photographic elements and scenes, growing our collection and
adding more themes,” says Prudhomme.
The result is a book that is able to simultaneously contain Shanghai’s staggering size and
its smallest details.

Behind the Bund

COVER STORY
“
I find that the area behind the Bund is so
much more interesting and colorful than,
say, Zhongshan Lu. It feels lived in, like it has
multiple purposes, rather than just hosting
expensive hotels and clubs. It’s also a neglected
area: I figured I should show it some love.”
Andrew Rochfort has been living in China for nine
years, and has set out to capture the feelings of
Shanghai’s bustling neighborhoods. In last year’s
Blackened By Light series (featured in last year’s
That’s Shanghai photography issue) he focused
on the city’s darkened alleyways and neon-lit side
streets. For this year’s work, 'Behind the Bund',
he gives some love to the winding, often ignored
network of roads just beyond the city’s most frequented tourist destination.
“Shapes, colors and angles – as cliché as that
sounds – always play a big part in why I shoot
something,” the 37-year-old Canadian says, “I
really like to shoot people in relation to their surroundings. A good zoom lens is essential: for me,
it’s best not to disturb the subject.”
Rochfort will have his Blackened By Light series on exhibition in Canada this summer, and his
previous projects have included a series exploring life under the Yan’an Expressway and a set of
rooftop images taken “before everyone and their
mother started sneaking up on rooftops.”
In the future, Rochfort plans to expand his
neighborhood shots into his old stomping grounds.
“The former French Concession is where I live,
and I love it, but I have a lot of trouble trying to
capture the essence of it. I’m going to give Wukang
Lu another try this spring. It’s easily one of the
most beautiful streets in the city.”

Shanghai Street Stories
“
Shanghai Street Stories started
out simply as vignettes of people
I met, situations I encountered on
the streets and observations of
shikumen and lilong neighborhoods,” says
photographer and blogger Sue Anne Tay.
“It has evolved to be more documentary
and research oriented, in terms of revealing nuggets of random history in the brick
and mortar.”
Tay’s work on her blog Shanghai
Street Stories has catalogued the changing
dynamics of Shanghai’s neighborhoods,
especially the iconic lane house residences.
She has been in China for close to six years,
and began her photography work as soon
as she arrived in the city.
“I think this resonates with many new
arrivals in an exciting city like Shanghai, it
was a way to connect with your environment,” she says. “Eventually, I started doing
more on-the-ground interviews, really exploring old neighborhoods and researching
their history.”
Her discoveries in Shanghai’s old
neighborhoods have ranged from underground communist printing presses to
exquisite Confucius-themed lattice work.
On her website, she has written about the
art deco influences on lane house design,
Maoist mural writing and held interviews
with some of the city’s most interesting
Ruihua lane public service posters: Located
south of Fuxing Lu not far from Xintiandi,
these mosaic public service posters advocating hygiene, filial piety and diligence in the
pursuit of sciences are vintage and wonderfully rare in old lanes. They were done in early
2000, so not exactly ancient but a wonderful
neighborhood touch.

“The way I find stories about people or
neighborhoods is often incidental, a matter
of passing through a lilong or a meaningful encounter with a resident,” she says.
“Other times, it’s knowing when a lane or
house is on its way out that warrants a
footnote in history.”

fervor can still be found in

traffic in lilong lanes, the social make up of residents – local
Shanghainese and waidiren – the small businesses that pass
through and the flowing gossip off the lanes. It’s a wonderful

LEW
Ethnic Minorities
“
I have come to find ethnic minorities to be incredibly interesting. It’s amazing how their old traditions, culture, dress
and way of life still exist today. I wanted to capture this photographically before these places are overrun by tourism.”
For this series, Darrell Lew traveled to a number of villages
inhabited by China’s ethnic minorities; places where local dialects outweigh Putonghua, where people still know how to write
ancient pictographs and where the hats are spectacular.
“I like to think that I’m capturing a long-standing history that
is soon to be lost or dramatically changed,” he says. “A few places
I visited for this project have already shown signs of growth in
preparation for increased tourism. There is also a huge migration of the young from these areas, which will soon result in the
loss of their everyday traditions, culture and way of life.”
Lew, who himself is a third-generation American with
Chinese roots, did not grow up with any knowledge of China’s
ethnic minorities. “I always thought all Chinese people were just
like me – Chinese! How wrong I was! After I learned about the
country’s minorities, I started planning photography-centered
road trips and workshops in particular regions of China.”
Unsurprisingly, Lew says he loves Yunnan Province, which
with 25 ethnic groups is home to the greatest number of minorities in the country.
“The clean air, wealth of ‘Old World’ ethnic diversity and the
mountainous landscape all create the perfect backdrop to satisfy
my curiosity in capturing China.”
Lew also interviews many of his subjects. “In the towns and
cities, some folks are much more tourist-savvy and, if you’re not
going to buy anything, aren’t that friendly. I have found that folks
in these small villages, though, are kind and genuine.”

Portraits of Chongqing
P
atrick Wack says he has been captivated by Chongqing since 2009, when he first visited the city. “The place has such a cinematic quality, and
gathers in one place a lot of aspects of today’s fast developing China.”
For this series, Wack says, “We pretty much drove and walked through the entire city. Chongqing is built around the Yangtze and Wu
rivers, and they play a major role in the city’s urbanism. The rivers are a great symbol of time, and usually the people who spend their lives
around the rivers are in a different state of mind from the people downtown.”
In every photo, the city of Chongqing looms large. “I was looking for interesting characters to feature in my portraits or places that had this cinematic quality to them, either to shoot landscapes or use as background for portraits,” Wack says. “I was always looking for a perspective, something
that would help me show the immensity of the city, its dark skies, the forests of concrete buildings and bridges.”
Originally from France, Wack has been in China for eight years. He got into photography in his early 20s and, since then, has released several
books of his work: The Streetaholic in 2007, two portrait projects entitled Kingdoms and Here There Are Men (the latter featured in last year’s That’s
Shanghai photography issue). Most recently, Wack and writer Pierre Vinclair published A New Celebration. Portrait(s) of Chongqing.

riginally from the Netherlands, Robert van
Der Hilst first came to Shanghai in 1990
while working for French Vogue. Over the
years, his work as a photojournalist has
brought him to everywhere from Cuba to Russia to the
Falkland Islands. Those locations and more are featured
in his latest book, TIMELESS WORLD, which includes
shots from more than 60 countries.
“Photo assignments for magazines started to dry
up by the end of the nineties,” van der Hilst says, “but
thanks to different sponsorships, I started my personal
work, photographing people inside their homes and getting back to my Dutch roots.”
Many of the pieces in TIMELESS WORLD are, well,
timeless. Whether intimate portraits or sweeping
scenes, the images could just as easily have been taken
this week or 20 years ago.
“I can’t really explain how or why I choose specific
people or places that I want to portray,” he says. “The
unconscious must be at work here. I have photographed
many Cuban interiors and Chinese interiors over the past
11 years. Why Cuba? Why China? Buddha knows. The
only thing I can say is that I love those two places.”

Looks like that well-worn excuse for epic overindulgence can still be trotted out with impunity – that murderous Chinese hangover you get IS due to fake alcohol (well, certainly if you’re a fan of Erguotou baijiu).

That’s the number of characters in Sun Lingxia’s absolutely epic
doctoral dissertation that focused exclusively on braised chicken.
Sun’s two-year study focused on the effects of spices, specifically
star anise, on chicken meat. Weibo commenters took to referring
to her dissertation as “The Most Yummy Paper,” and, although we
like to laugh, we are seriously interested in trying some of Sun
Lingxia’s braised chicken.

Shanghai Café Culture
A new era of creative coffee shops
By Tongfei Zhang and Betty Richardson
Thought you couldn’t get a half decent cup of joe in this city? Think again – young entrepreneurs in Shanghai
are shaping up to be a generation of caffeine connoisseurs, leading to a spark of independent coffee shops
that are the perfect alternative to your daily Starbucks.
Mellower Coffee
What’s special: Champion latte (RMB58), sweet little rain (RMB58)
The trendy flagship of this Kunming transplant provides ethically
sourced coffee near to Xintiandi. Above the ordering counter are
graphs explaining exactly how each cup of coffee reached you. With
a vast seating area, training room and roasting area, the spacious
but cozy place is great for get-togethers and even business talks.
Manager Chen Xining filled us in on Mellower Coffee's unique menu
items…
Who exactly are the champions that make your ‘champion
latte?’
We invited Huang Yan, champion of World Latte Art Championship
(2014) to make ‘champion latte’ for customers, and Korean ‘coffee
prince’ Kim Jinkyu – Asia’s only double champion of both World
Barista Championship and World Latte Art Championship (2011 &
2012) as a coffee director to train our baristas.
Release coffee
What’s special: Release (RMB32),
Mocha (RMB30)
This neighborhood coffee shop is a simple and cheerful spot, offering delicately brewed coffee owned by three experienced and
passionate baristas – Li Yang, Lian Chao and Chen Sisi, champion
of 2014 China Aeropress Championship. A much needed addition to the buzzing Wuding Lu neighborhood, this compact space
is great for working in with proper chairs and tables inside, and
is un-missable thanks to a bold neon sign outside. We caught up
with joint owner Li Yang to find out just what an aeropress is…
What’s the difference between hand-dripped coffee and aeropress ones?
Hand-dripped coffees are brighter and purer while the latter is richer
and thicker. Single origins can be brewed both ways, so for a chance
to taste the varying fragrances of our coffee beans, try this!
Tell us about your special ‘Release’ coffee…
It’s an innovative specialty we invented ourselves. With a mix of
double espresso and homemade soda, the glass has a layer of quickly
fading foam, tasting almost like iced dark beer fused with caffeine.
Tart and bitter with a sweet aftertaste, it’s an updated version of a
‘sparkling Americano,’ which we also highly recommend.

What’s so special about the ‘sweet little rain?’
It’s many sweet-toothed customers’ favorite; we suspend pink
cotton candy above a cup of Americano, then when the hot steam
goes up, the cotton candy melts and drips like it’s raining. It’s one
of most popular items on menu!

Undefine
What’s special: Yirgacheffe coffee (RMB25)
Right in the heart of the M50 art district and set in a refurbished
factory, Undefine is a four-in-one space with a unique personality.
The brainchild of coffee lover and former fashion journalist Nemo
Zheng, Undefine was envisioned as a space to enjoy coffee and
fine art together. Collaborating bi-monthly with artists and designers, the space sometimes turns into a gallery or workshop, sometimes an exhibition space, with additional pop-up stores upstairs selling handicrafts. This relaxed and quiet haven has surprisingly cheap
single origin coffee in addition to Italian blends, cakes and pastries.
We can see specialty coffees aren’t overly expensive here.
Coffee isn’t really our main business, space renting is. So we sell coffees at a ‘conscience price.’
Is there a theme of this place?
Every two months we have a different theme depending on the event
we do, like pop-up stores, workshops, or art exhibitions. Accordingly
we make derivative products such as special roast beans, self-brewed
beers, plates, cushions, etc. for sale.
Do you have your own products aside from coffees?
Yes we actually have a barber corner when it’s not decorated as part
of a gallery, and we sell boys’ products too. Boys get to make appointments and book a cool barber, maybe with tattoos, to help them with
whatever hairstyle they want.

W+S Cafe by Napoleon
What’s special: Joffre (RMB68), Lady’s
High Tea (RMB298/two)
If you happen to pass by the intersection of Huaihai and Huating
Lu, pink sakura flowers outreaching from a cheerful garden-like
terrace will immediately catch your eyes. Cooperating with W+S
Decoration furnishing store right next door, W+S Cafe makes use
of bespoke luxury furniture pieces and silver tableware from its
upscale neighbor. Owner Leon Chen was formerly a banker in
Australia, and is also the brains behind Napoleon chocolate bar.
These days, he spends his time working diligently on a culinary
revolution of simple meals and handmade desserts at his cafés.
What’s so special about a Joffre cake?
Well, its name is inspired from the old street name of Huaihai Lu.
We pair fresh Yunnan raspberries with pastry cream, sandwiched
between a giant rose macaron. The melt-in-your-mouth raspberries help to neutralize each bite of crisp almond sugar. We make
them ourselves everyday at our bakery in Songjiang.
What is the atmosphere
that you want to provide?
I want people to feel relaxed when they walk in.
There are a lot of playful
and natural elements dotted around the café, which
lend a less formal vibe to
the place. Some people
describe it as an Alice in
Wonderland sort of feeling!
To me it’s an ideal spot for
a quiet chat with friends
and a laid-back afternoon.

The Beast Cafe
What’s special: Caffe Latte (RMB35/tall, RMB38/grande), Costa
Rica - tarrazu (RMB42)
Derived from the well-known
flower shop brand – The
Beast, Beast Cafe opened its
doors two months ago and
is already a hotspot for local hipsters – the tiny place
was packed on our visit on a
Thursday afternoon. With a
'flowers of the desert' theme,
an array of succulent plants
and cacti populate both the
inside and outside of the
store, resulting in a somewhat tropical shielded hideaway slap
bang in Xintiandi, guarded by the store’s namesake black leopard
statue over the threshold. We caught up with COO Isabelle Zhang
to hear more about their beastly concept…
What’s special about the coffees here?
We do quality specialty coffees for a small crowd, and all coffees
are roasted in town. This store acts like a supply station in the vast
desert - espresso coffee and drip coffees are the main products we
provide, with beans hailing from Africa and South America too.
Can people buy flowers here?
Yes. This is a ‘two-in-one’ store where people get to enjoy nice coffees surrounded by the scent of flowers. A selection of preserved
fresh flowers is our main business apart from coffee, but if you
want to buy fresh flowers you can also book here.

Cambio Coffee
What's special: Latte art by
barista Joe (RMB24); hand drip
Bolivian and Yunnan coffee
(RMB24)
The brainchild of Washington
DC born entrepreneur Sebastian
Martin, Cambio is a wholesale
coffee business that buys its beans directly from growers around the
world, including domestically from Yunnan. With a character cast of
different blends that vary in tone and strength, Cambio’s coffee aims
to be gourmet and responsibly sourced at the same time. Baristas in
the attractive courtyard shop on Jiangning Lu invite you to take your
pick out of a variety of brewing contraptions depending on how you
like yours, and are capable of whipping up some incredible ‘latte art.’
In addition to a menu of snacks and lunch food, Cambio’s location will
also play host to live music, performance and cultural events, with
future plans to expand seating and build a cocktail bar on the rooftop
of the adjacent office building. We caught up with founder Sebastian
Martin to learn about Cambio’s sourcing ethos...
What is direct trade, and why do you do this rather than fairtrade?
I’m into social enterprise: business that can proactively help people
and improve their circumstances. Big coffee buyers give rural producers the very lowest prices they can, and while consumers pay a lot
of money for a latte, farmers are getting screwed. Put simply, direct
trade is about cutting out intermediaries, meaning we handpick our
farms and have greater control over our products.
What’s your vision for Cambio?
We plan to grow our brand. First within Shanghai, then second and
third tier cities over the next two years. We will still do our wholesale
business, we’re also launching our own e-commerce platform for our
products, and ultimately we want Cambio to appeal to China’s population of dormant coffee lovers. I want Cambio to become a known
brand, that will prove to be an example of how a social enterprise can
be commercially successful too. We’re definitely thinking big!
Which of your coffees do you recommend?
Our barista Joe is the most talented latte artist in the city, and for
curious coffee , test out the nuances between beans from Yunnan and
Bolivia. Once you find your favorite, take it home in a 250g bag!

Café Ming Qian
Ming Qian is an awesome, locally owned sustainable wholesale coffee supplier specializing in single origin brews from international
sources, including beans grown in Yunnan. Located directly above
Husk restaurant in McBain Court, Ming Qian is almost hidden from
the outside, but is bright, spacious and decidedly trendy within.
Outside is a particularly gorgeous seat-lined terrace that looks like
it gets plenty of sunshine in the summer. Aside from coffee and food,
Ming Qian also hosts classes like ‘Latte Art’ (RMB120) in its special
training rooms, has its own roasting room and a number of coffee
brewing contraptions and bags of its own beans for sale. While not
necessarily quiet, Ming Qian’s coffee is excellent, not overpriced and
worthy of a visit.
Roaster Café
Equal parts roasting shop and quick stop coffee, Roaster Café’s coffee
is flavorsome, devilishly strong and cheaper than Starbucks. Prices
start at RMB14 for a single espresso, RMB23 for mint or whisky
spiked hot chocolate and RMB25 for grande almond lattes, caramel
macchiatos and their ilk. Seating is fairly sparse and basic, but is
enhanced by the smell of coffee beans being freshly roasted by staff

front of your eyes.

rye, RMB42) and ‘green sandwich’ (two eggs and avocado on toasted
rye, RMB40). Aside from their very reasonably priced espressos
(RMB18), Lanna’s mocha (RMB24) is the thing to get, crafted from
raw cocoa powder perked up by a hint of Ghiradelli’s chocolate sauce.

How Fun
Colorful paella bar with good
value cocktails
BY Betty Richardson
S
panish food is certainly not something
Shanghai is short of, dozens of restaurants ranging from cheap and cheerful
tapas to Bund-side fine dining are scattered
around the city. How Fun, a new enterprise operated by a Taiwan company in the
Shanghai Centre, is aiming for something of a
niche market for its first Shanghai outpost –
by specializing in paella.
Perhaps a clever strategy to find a happy
medium of Western food whilst satisfying
rice-loving Chinese diners, paella seems to
be the logical answer, and How Fun have
come up with a bunch of different toppings
to cover several international bases, ranging
from classic incarnations to more exotic offerings like pork belly and sausage, sirloin
steak and Thai green curry chicken.
Memories of Paella usually bring to
mind tire-sized paelleras of steaming rice
peppered with seafood, but HowFun, in recognizing that the average dining party might
struggle with such portions has clipped
its offerings down to large, medium and
70
Take into

starts to look very
reasonable indeed.
‘personal-sized,’ with prices ranging from
RMB62 for the most basic up to RMB659 for
a large portion topped with lobster.
The emphasis here is on value – even the
smallest portions are hefty and would satisfy
for lunch. Flavor-wise, it might not be the
fanciest paella that you’ll ever eat, but the
toppings are fairly generous and paired with
a couple of sides like garlic shrimp with
chorizo (RMB69), gazpacho (RMB38) or
mixed sautéed mushrooms (RMB26), it’s
a pretty chill place to come with friends or
co-workers.
Another attractive element going on
at How Fun is a list of reasonably priced
cocktails, including the refreshing grapefruit
number we tried (RMB35) with Campari and
tonic water. Take into consideration the after
work happy hour from 4-8pm, which includes cocktails from RMB28, and the whole
thing starts to look very reasonable indeed.

Da Ivo
Eye-wateringly expensive Italian on the Bund
BY Betty Richardson
W
ell, it looks like upmarket Italian
8 ½ Otto e Mezzo Bombana has
finally got a rival in Shanghai. In
terms of price, new Bund-side restaurant Da
Ivo certainly seems to be a competitor. Much
like Otto in Hong Kong, Da Ivo is an exceptionally popular restaurant in its original location - Venice in this case – with the concept
being packaged up and installed in Shanghai
for your dégustation.
Iconic for its staunchly defended culinary traditions, Da Ivo 1.0 is frequented by
illustrious VIPs and celebs alike, including
George Clooney, Christina Aguilera and Tom
Cruise. Even Rufus Wainwright has been
in on the action. It’s also known for being
expensive despite its quaint trattoria appearances, with the average bottle of wine going
for 300 Euros.
Set on the 23rd floor
of Les Suites Orients
hotel on the Bund, the
views from the new
Shanghainese Da Ivo are,
in our experience totally
unrivalled, with breathtaking views of both sides of
the Huangpu River available from every window in
the restaurant, including
the toilets in case you were
wondering.
If these views weren’t
enough of a draw, Da Ivo’s
have gone for an opulent
décor scheme, which unfortunately comes
off as a little more ostentatious than luxurious. Gold, black, crystal and Venetian glass
accents adorn seemingly every available
surface. It’s a far cry from the original… until
you turn a corner into a back room, which
has been plate for plate replicated from the
quaint Venetian original, right down to the
exact same tablecloths, furniture, and copper
pots hanging on the walls.
Despite its more down to earth appearances, the menu in this room is prix fixe and
significantly more expensive than the main
dining room at RMB1,688 (plus 15 percent
service charge!) per person, and is exactly the
same menu as the Venice branch.
We opted for the ‘cheaper’ a la carte
option in the main restaurant, and were
pleasantly surprised by the quality of food.
Highlights included sweet raw red shrimps
(RMB198), a meaty and generous beef
Carpaccio (RMB188) and an enormous
bone-in veal Milanese with plum tomato
salad (RMB328).
Mama Giorgina is an
enigmatic figure who
regularly ventures
from the kitchen to
meet with guests, for
photos.
When we attempted to order Venetian
squid ink risotto (RMB198), the suited waiter suggested we try the white truffle version
instead. Nice and attentive, right? The only
trouble with this was that he neglected to
mention that this risotto comes in at RMB950,
the price of which we discovered upon receiving the bill.
Despite being slightly small in size for its
price, the risotto in question was breathtakingly delicious (maybe even perfect). Worth
RMB950? We’re not sure. But it showed that
63-year-old head chef Mama Giorgina certain-
ly knows what she’s doing in the kitchen.
Last up was a dessert titled ‘The imagining of the Chef on Venetian mirror’ for
RMB288, which turned out to be around 10
miniature versions of the other desserts, laid
out on a ridiculously long mirror that barely
fit on the table. Luckily, each one of these
turned out to be excellent, although it would
feed far more than two.
Da Ivo is a very good restaurant, the quality of both food and service well above our expectations. Mama Giorgina is an enigmatic figure who regularly ventures out of the kitchen
to meet and pose for photos with guests, and
we have genuine respect for her traditional
approach to food. The only problem is the
price. It’s incredibly expensive, even factoring in the location (our meal wound up at
RMB2,300). However, for those looking for an
authentic, if ostentatious bite of Venice, then
Da Ivo is worth a visit.

Holy
Cow
Healthy hotpot with
organic ingredients
BY Betty Richardson
H
otpot, that most wintery of Chinese
culinary traditions, is the kind of
thing we crave around this bitterly
cold time of year. It’s just kind of a shame that
the good name of hotpot has been somewhat
tarnished in recent times, with a string of less
than savory food scandals, including stories
of 6-month old frozen meat, opium seeds to
ensure return customers, re-used soup and
chilies and ‘gutter oil.’
With this in mind, Holy Cow, a new hotpot restaurant near Zhongshan Park, aims to
be an antidote to this unfortunate stereotype,
offering ‘never frozen’ and hormone-free
meat, freshly made soup bases and organic
vegetables from their own farm. Without
aiming to be too ‘right on’ about the healthy
aspect, they’re also offering a couple of traditional Chinese medicine soup bases too if
72
that’s your jam, although we kept it simple
and opted for a classic base.
Like most hotpot places, there’s a big emphasis on ordering platefuls of meat, which
are cooked in the hotpot to your liking. To
our palates there was definitely a difference
between the taste of frozen beef that we’re
used to seeing and these, which were still
tender and flavorful.
Aside from meat however, emphasis is
also on fresh vegetables, grown at sister company Villa Soleil and farmed using organic,
chemical-free farming methods and imported
seeds. The result is a menu full of exotic
sounding vegetables: ever heard of pattypan squash, cassabanana, Chioggia beet,
crowndaisy chrysanthemum or yellow
cream carrot? Nope, us neither, but we can
tell you they’re both colorful and delicious
cooked in soup then dipped in your own
custom-made sauce from the DIY sauce bar.
By the end of the meal we’d eaten more
vegetables than we usually eat in several
days, and felt pretty good about ourselves for
it. Coupled with several plates of meat and
dumplings, the whole experience felt like
a decent balance between wholesome and
tasty.
The ambience at Holy Cow is pretty
relaxed, being neither too fancy nor
down‘n’dirty, with several private dining
rooms and large tables for groups. But now
for the downside – at the moment there

Four Seasons
HK comfort food in Crystal Galleria Mall
BY Betty Richardson
S
lightly playing second fiddle to the
Kerry Center and Réel mall across
the road, Crystal Galleria mall is just
starting to fill up with an eclectic bunch of
restaurants ranging from Vietnamese pho,
American diners, soup dumplings, curry and
even popcorn. While most of these seem like
fairly ubiquitous mall eateries, Four Seasons
on level six creates a different impression.
The main reason to visit is the famous
roasted duck, the recipe of which is a fiercely
guarded secret at the original location in
Queensway, London – it has even been touted
as “the best in the world” by the Financial
Times. So we decided to bring along a
Hongkonger to see if Four Seasons’ duck is all
it is quacked up to be.
Spacious, with a distinct 90s vibe and
populated by lunching office workers, service
is pretty on lock, despite
only being open a month.
It’s not Din Tai Fung level
hospitality, but the staff are
welcoming, efficient and
some can speak English too.
The menu is populated by typical Hong Kong
comfort foods, like sweet
‘n sour pork (RMB78),
crispy noodles, signature
roasted meats and an
entire separate booklet of
seafood dishes like crab
and abalone lobster.
The roasted duck
recipe is a fiercely
guarded secret at the
original location in
London.
As with most Chinese joints, it makes
most sense to eat with a group, but here one
may also sample several dishes in individual
portions. According to our Hong Kong dining partner the celebrated roasted duck
(RMB58, individual portion) is unorthodox–
roasted traditionally but served basking in a
sweet and aromatic soy-based sauce. Despite
this, it was still the highlight of our meal, and
seems particularly good value when paired
with soup, white rice and beverage in the
daily lunch sets (RMB48-58).
Other highlights included delicately gingery scallion noodles with strips of BBQ
pork (RMB48) and crispy little squares
of roast pork and goose breast on hash
browns (RMB25). Ultimately, the food isn’t
mark for mark what you’d get traditionally,
but by non-Hong Kong standards it’s good,
and aptly priced too.
For dessert, Four Seasons’ specialty is a
caramel sugar tower covering deep fried
banana slices (RMB58). Ridiculously tall
and apparently tricky to make, thousands of
sugary shards splinter all over the table - an
entertaining if bizarre dish, undoubtedly the
bane of the cleaning ayis' lives.
The team tells us there’s a plan to open
a beer garden and seafood barbecue on the
adjacent terrace come summertime, which
sounds like a homerun. Overall Four Seasons
is a relaxed and good value place for casual
Hong Kong comfort food, and one we’ll be
back to in the future.

Market 101 by Goga
Epic sandwiches from Brad Turley on Changle Lu
BY Betty Richardson
A
s anyone who’s paid a visit to veteran
restaurant Goga on Yueyang Lu will
tell you, proprietor Brad Turley is a
man who knows good America-style food.
Luckily these values seem to be in place at
Market 101, his new San Franciscan delicatessen on Changle Lu.
Unremarkable from the outside and
small inside, within are some of the largest
and most epic sandwiches in the city, along
with a selection of housemade sweets, coffees, wines and fancy bottled craft beers.
Back to the sandwiches though, and the
bagels and croissants. Some might say these
border on being expensive, with offerings
like bacon or salmon and egg croissant
for RMB60, shrimp salad sandwich from
RMB70 and a simple sounding grilled
cheese for RMB70. It’s understandable to
worry you might be getting ripped off when
you see a fried sandwich for over USD10,
but when it’s Brad Turley’s grilled cheese,
there’s high chances it’ll be worth it.
We decided to give the roasted Wagyu

beef sandwich (RMB90) a whirl. We know
that’s roughly the same price as a burger,
but believe, this bad boy’s a 700 gram monster. Featuring horseradish, mustard, pesto,
cheese, tomato, lettuce, mayonnaise, pickles
and red onion on freshly baked bread, the
roasted wagyu was absolutely tender and
meltingly delicious. We could even say we
liked it more than our burger at Rachel’s. A
sandwich of these proportions might sound
messy, but is a well thought out affair, with
bread neither too crunchy nor delicate that
stayed together until the last bite.
Another highlight was a substantial,
freshly toasted bacon and cream cheese
bagel (RMB40), which turned out to be
bacon and herb schmear rather than whole
strips of meat, resulting in a similarly compact and easy to eat sandwich.
Unfortunately, compared to the triumph of these sandwiches, a hot chocolate
(RMB35) and waffle (RMB22) were unable
to match the epic-ness. But by that point we
didn’t particularly care; we were already
in the depths of a roast beef induced food
coma.

La Farfalla
Quirky fine dining Italian on Jiaozhou Lu
BY Betty Richardson
L
a Farfalla is a place hard not to like.
Meaning ‘butterfly’ in Italian (as
you may have worked out from the
pasta), it might be slightly bizarre inside,
with chintzy white and turquoise interiors,
frilly curtains and butterfly wallpaper on the
ceiling, but there’s no denying the food is
excellent, the service attentive and the price
honest.
Having heard good things about Chef
Xiao Hu’s cooking, our hearts kind of sank
when we walked in – the interiors give off a
vibe that it’s going to be terrible. One look
at the menu, however, revealed a wealth
of imaginative dishes like poached egg in
mushroom and truffle sauce (RMB48),
tuna tartare with sour cream, chives,
caviar and French bean salad (RMB98)
and excellent pan-fried scallops with cauliflower puree and mushroom, broccoli
and lemon sauce (RMB68). Chef Hu’s fine
dining background is obvious from the plating, which is elegant and thoughtful, without
being distracting or awkward.
For mains we moved on to roasted
farm chicken with porcini cream truffle sauce (RMB128), a delicious and
ruggedly flavored dish elevated by refined presentation; and the house specialty:
seafood cavatelli pasta with fresh basil
(RMB98). If you haven’t had it before, cavatelli is a wonderful pasta, a kind of hybrid
between gnocchi and conchiglioni. In this instance its texture complimented the seafood
textures perfectly, its simplicity negated by a
complex and velvety lobster bisque sauce.
Although main courses are pretty big,
sides are very reasonably priced at RMB28,
including truffle mash potatoes, literally covered in freshly shaved black curls.
Desserts were a similar story; everything we
tried was beautiful and tasty, with the standout dish being a molten chocolate lava cake
with simple vanilla ice cream (RMB66).
Coupled with discrete and attentive
service, La Farfalla’s food definitely makes
up for interior appearances. It’s not sleek,
industrial chic or even retro, but they try
hard to please in both the kitchen and the
dining room, and the outcome is a relaxed
yet refined Italian fusion eatery that won’t
break the bank.

David Laris
“I am definitely back”
BY Betty Richardson
Internationally acclaimed chef David Laris began his culinary career at a classical
French restaurant in Sydney. In 1993 he travelled to Macau aged just 23 to open the first
contemporary restaurant in the Mandarin Oriental. After posts in Hong Kong, Hanoi and a
stint working for Sir Terence Conran in London, in 2003 he was recruited to developed New
Heights and open eponymous restaurant Laris in Three on the Bund. Following a slew of
other developments in Shanghai and Beijing, 2013 saw the abrupt termination of his Mainland
restaurants, moving again to Hong Kong in a move that shocked the F&B community. But now
he’s back in town for his Shanghai second act…

S
o, what have you been up to since
your return to Shanghai?
The Cachet Hotel Group (CHG) and our
partners have acquired the Cachet Boutique
Hotel at 931 Nanjing Xi Lu and are working on restoring it to its former glory. We
are currently working on a new restaurant
concept for the second floor. It’s early days
though and we’re still exploring the best option for the space.
I also developed the graphic package of
the recently opened Beergrdn at the URBN
hotel, am leading the interior design for CHG
worldwide and plan to bring external F&B
concepts into our hotels. Then in the future
I’ll do another David Laris Hands in the
Kitchen project.
Sounds like you’ve got your work cut out!
So what’s going to be on this floor then?
There will be a lobby cocktail lounge that
will hopefully become a destination cocktail
bar in the future, and a private event space
where we’ll be hosting dinners for around 80
people. I might even cook some of my signature dishes again for VIPs…
So what exactly is your role within the
group then?
I’m the Chief Creative Officer, so I lead the design aspects of the whole hotel. We’re about
to establish our own internal design firm.
Will that include culinary design mainly?
Nope, it’ll be interior design – I actually have
a broader skill set than I think people may
realize. I’ll also be leading the food and beverage element of the company, which will be
my key role.
So you’re not cooking much these days?
I’ve been in the kitchen at my restaurant in
Hong Kong, The Bellbrook. But I took a break
from cooking for about one year. I got a little
bit disillusioned with the restaurant industry
in Shanghai…
I was very visible and
that always attracts
haters. I think there
were also times I
was an arrogant sh*t
though.
Why?
I just needed a break from it. I did an awful
lot during the first eight years of my time
here, and I came when there was no industry
here. I built Laris [at Three on the Bund, in
the space currently home to Mercato], which
was an enormous success. I then went on to
form my management consultation company,
and have consulted on over 50 restaurants.
The immaturity of the market burnt me
out. It was hard to make a profit because the
rent, spend and payroll ratios were all out of
whack. You’d work your ass off, have a full
restaurant and then see a very small margin
of profit at the end of the day. I felt overexposed as well… in the media way too much.
Oh really?
Yes. It was a case of tall poppy syndrome… I
wanted to step back from it all. The problem
with being a pioneer is that you pave the
way, but you don’t always yield the rewards
for the effort… first time round.
I can’t say it wasn’t rewarding though.
Way back when we opened Laris, there was
no way anyone else was putting USD4.5 million USD into a freestanding F&B project in
Shanghai. We had the best team in Shanghai
at the time. Everyone who came to Shanghai
would stop by, and it paved the way for the
scene here. A lot of folks who were trainees
with me back then have gone on to many of
the top jobs in Shanghai now.
What do you think of the current state of
the Shanghai F&B scene?
The market is more open to new ideas. There
are more locals who are willing to try new
things, and a burgeoning middle class - that
is great for the F&B industry here.
In terms of chefs, there are people at a
certain level like Paul Pairet and a couple
others - and I like to think that I myself was
at that level too - but then you have the other
guys in the middle of the road who just don’t
have the chops, but they get put on the same
playing field as the top players.
That shouldn’t be what we build an
industry on, instead we should build on
excellence. Honestly though, right now the
Shanghai dining scene doesn’t blow me away
compared to New York and Hong Kong.
It sounds like you had a lot of success, but
a lot of side projects as well. Has having
so much going on simultaneously contributed to your “burning out” and somewhat
abrupt departure from Shanghai?
I’ve been very silent about the things that
went down, but it wasn’t because I was overextended. There were other problems that
made me want to rethink things, and it was
my decision to rethink things.
I don’t want to say anything negative
about anybody, but there were promises that
weren’t lived up to. I wasn’t a majority shareholder, which means you can’t dictate. The
people who are the majority shareholders
needed to step up and take responsibility for
certain things.
So essentially it was your name on the
door but without the majority power.
Essentially, yes. I was in too deep here,
with the same people, the same thing. It’s the
industry we work in; there’s a lot of love and
a lot of hate.
Would you say you get more love or hate?
I think it’s been fairly balanced over the
years. Probably more towards love, but I’ve
received my fair share of hate.
My biggest failing
was that my ambition
outweighed those
who were financially
backing me. I should
have been clearer.
Why do you think people might have
cause to hate you?
Well, I think I had a lot of success. I was very
visible and that always attracts haters, which
is part of the territory when you’re well
known. I think there were also times I was an
arrogant shit though.
Why were you an arrogant shit?
Well I was a chef! And I’m outspoken, I know
my own mind and I’m not always good at
politics. I say what I think and I take it on my
shoulders. Then of course there’s business,
and you can’t expect to be loved with every
decision you make, especially when you’re
successful.
The first time you realize you’re in the
public eye and being hated on, it really hurts
though. I’ve tried to internalize my thoughts
and live my life with perspective now.
What was the biggest bad decision you
made?
Underfunded partnerships that didn’t appreciate the full potential and perspective of
what I wanted to do. My biggest failing was
that my ambition outweighed those who
were financially backing me. I should have
been clearer.
Lessons learned?
Life is about what you do next. A good friend
of mine, Lyndon Neri (of design firm Neri &
Hu) said to me: “No matter what, David, just
keep creating.” So with that in mind, I’ll let
time judge me and just keep going forward.
There’s a lot more to come from me in 2015.
I am definitely back.

A Belgian
Tradition
Since 1366
Big Bamboo
Stella Artois is part of a Belgian
brewing tradition dating back to 1366,
first created for Christmas as a gift to
the people of Leuven, Belgium. It is
thirst quenching with a malty middle
and crisp finish delivering a full flavor
and a hint of bitterness.
The brand’s Christmas origins –
reflected by the Latin “Stella,” or Star
– are celebrated in a variety of ways.
This year, Stella Artois is once again
introducing a limited edition bottle to
accompany the holiday celebration.
The sleek 750ml bottle is embossed
with Stella Artois brand name and
signature Christmas star. Created to
be shared by holiday-makers over the
seasonal period,
the limited edition
bottle gift pack
can be purchased
exclusively online
via the Stella
Artois TMall Store
in China.
DE REFTER
As the first Belgian Brasserie in town,

classy evening hang-outs. In this cozy
little nook it’s easy to lose track of time
as you sit in the middle of scenes like
“The Adventures of Tintin,” “The Central
Library of Leuven” and “Manneken Pis.”
Take your pick of abbey ales, dubbels,
trippels, lambics and other exotic tastes
from as many as 50 Belgian beers. When
accompanied by a traditional beef stew
with Belgian beers or classic Belgianflavored mussels, we bet you’ll fall in love
with these Belgian delicacies in no time.

You might hazily know M18 as that place
underneath Bar Rouge. Well, thanks to a
new takeover from the previous directors
of M1NT, there’s a new trendy cocktail
lounge at the back. A far cry from the
mainstream fist-pumping action out front,
the vibe back here is cool, almost like a
speakeasy. Think live swing jazz, ‘doctorapproved’ anti-ageing cocktails and a new
bar food menu.

adly not benefitting from a high traffic area, Bubbly Nation looks slightly
out of place in an area that plays host
to more local culture than a Champagne
swilling elite. Nevertheless, inside the bar is
inviting and unpretentious, with plenty of relaxed seating and an interior design scheme
somewhere between industrial ghetto chic
and steam punk.
As you might expect, menus are dominated by Champagnes, which range from a modest RMB550 for a 750ml of Laurent-Perrier
Brut up to RMB5,580 for Armand de Brignac.
Compared to the going rate of Champagne
at other bars and nightclubs, these are virtually wholesale prices – and that, according to
marketing manager Sari Andini, is thanks to
Bubbly Nation’s superior connections within
suppliers.
Only three Champagnes are available
by the glass (from RMB75-125), meaning you need drop relatively serious coin
or come accompanied by friends willing
to split the bill. There’s also a list of traditional and Champagne-based cocktails
priced at RMB85, such as the 5th Avenue
Star (Champagne, Captain Morgan Rum
and Grenadine syrup), which avoided being
overly sweet but could have done with an extra kick of rum. Still, nice to try if you’re not
drinking by the bottle.
From the sounds of things, Bubbly
Nation’s main draw will be its birthday venue hire. In fact, the team tells us local high
rollers have been making bookings for their
Champagne-fuelled parties at a startling rate.
Aside from this, the bar will host Fashion
TV’s model parties alongside other ongoing
offers, including an RMB88 offer on the lunch
set menu for two people, and a Wednesday
buffet and free-flow Champagne night for
around the RMB250 mark, the latter of
which seems astonishingly good value.
Time will tell how Bubbly Nation shapes
up in the coming months, and while the concept initially perplexed us, their good value
ethos and relaxed vibes have us optimistic
about their future.

C
ool, sleek, with Mad Men-esque furniture and faintly Nordic accents, The
Nest is newly opened joint venture
between Bacardi (which counts Grey Goose
vodka as one of its brands) and the folks
behind Muse, sexy new 6th floor lounge bar
where Beijing Dong Lu hits the Rockbund.
The drinks menu is dominated by a ‘no
nonsense’ list of stiff libations for around
the RMB70 mark – reasonable enough by
Shanghai standards these days. Shaking
up these drinks is mixologist Carson Xie,
runner-up of the 2014 Bacardi Legacy
competition. He makes a mean 20 degrees
below with Bacardi 8, Aberfeldy 12, Dom
Benedictine and mancinoamaranto, which
we tried in the name of research *cough
cough*.
In addition to cocktails, both vodka and
Champagne libations are also available via
bottle service, with prices going for a reasonable RMB800-900.
Not just a swish lounge and bar, there’s
also a pretty sizable kitchen manned by
French chef Freddie Raoult, who serves up
Nordic inspired plates for sharing, including
New Zealand venison and steak tartare.

Another snazzy feature is the ‘raw bar,’
which will feature an array of fresh sashimi,
imported caviar and oysters, which can be
specially paired with cocktails prepared
right there at the bar.
Music-wise, management tells us they’re
steering well clear of EDM, and there will be
no DJs either, with noise levels low enough
to sustain a conversation with your drinking
partners. On our visits the vibe was upbeat
and energetic enough to constitute a party,
while steering well clear of mainstream
electro.
Already generating a fair amount of
social buzz, with any luck this place will
provide the Rockbund with a new lease life
come evening time. Cheers!

A
h Hollywood – that fondly recalled
bastion of late night debauchery,
seemingly propped up by Shanghai’s
community of foreign exchange students
and Slavic models… Good news for them:
Hollywood’s owners have gone and opened
up an altogether classier club manifestation
on the Bund, and they’ve called it Just on the
Bund, just so you know just where it is.
Famous for it’s late night/last resort
party scene, Hollywood’s honchos are instead aiming to capitalize on early hours
partying and bar hopping from 9pm – but
that doesn’t look to be happening just yet.
On our first visit we showed up at 9.30pm
to a room full of staff and technicians still
doing setup. Apparently they’ve now pushed
back their opening hours to 10pm, but in all
honesty it doesn’t look like the club action
gets going until at least midnight. No after
dinner drinks for us then.
For the most part Just on the Bund
seems fairly ubiquitous with the other
Zhongshan Lu club options like M18 and Bar
Rouge, with bottle-serviced tables, RMB7090+ drinks, a small bar and an even smaller
dance floor being the order of the day. We
rather liked the cream quilted leather and
brushed gold furnishings; coupled with the
numerous large, angular windows it had
the air of a luxurious intergalactic aircraft.
Hopefully the aforementioned cream leather
will not fall victim to the foils of drink-spilling partying over the coming years.
Music-wise, expect the same energetic
electro-house DJ sets as Hollywood– definitely nothing to sniff at after eight drinks
and a shot of tequila. Coupled with a view of
Shanghai this magnificent, Just on the Bund
seems like it just might be a welcome addition to our weekly party roster.

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 by 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.”
The dolphins 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 that these carnivores consume,
including lion-head fish, croaker and mullet.
They can be seen following fishing boats,
feasting on the catch that falls off the back.
The same vessel that feeds them can also
harm, though – many of the rose-hued mam-
84
mals 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’s 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 projects 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 the Hong Kong waters recorded
a significant drop in dolphin populations,
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 animals. 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.

This neither meets nor exceeds my expectations
By Trevor Marshallsea
T
hat time of year is
looming again. The
time when, as a parent, you need to take stock,
think about how far you’ve
come, take a long, hard
look at what’s in front of
you and think of something
appropriate to say while
looking like you know what
you’re doing.
It’s school report time.
Our girls’ mid-year assessments are about to come
home and I don’t mind telling you, I’m worried. Not
that they’re usually scathing, or laced with violently
scrawled red ink, like mine
were (as well as personal
insults).
It’s just that every year,
as Western educators look
for new and befuddling ways to reinvent the
wheel and make it softer, reports get increasingly hard to make sense of. (And, yes, if any
affronted teachers are reading, I did just end
that sentence with a preposition.)
I’m starting to suspect that every time
our international school calls a half-day for
‘teacher training,’ which occurs roughly three
times a week, they’re actually sitting around
in a deep trance trying to concoct the ‘perfect’
baffling report card.
I pay an accountant to interpret my financial gloop. If school reports continue in their
current vein, I can see a new growth industry
on the horizon, similar to those freaks who come and fix your computer, or those who do your taxes. “H&R Block: We’ll take your kid’s
report card and tell you what in God’s name it says!”
Of course it was simple when I was growing up, as indeed I was.
You got a number. Or a series of numbers. The parent could easily tell
how the kid was doing, provided that kid told the truth about what
score his mark was out of. (Did it again!)
While today’s reports are full of words, the only comment I remember from my 10 or 12 years of schooling was this sixth grade critique: “Trevor’s attempts at good behavior are short-lived!” Of course,
with an exclamation point.
I envy my dad’s school days even more. He got to ride a horse to
school! How cool is that? It’s like starting each day with a fun activity
people usually pay to do once every few years, when on holiday – and
without also being dragged to a local pottery shop.
Granted, one downside was that this was the 1940s. My dad and
his classmates – those skinny boys with enormous ears you see in old
photos – had missed the chance to use an iPad in class by about 70
years.
But at least reports were simple. When I asked Dad what mark he
received on leaving high school, he said he got a pass. I said “Yeah, but
what score?” He said, “You either got ‘pass’ or ‘fail.’ There was none of
this ‘score’ business.”
Now, our two girls’ report cards from their modern international elementary school are longer and
wordier than most books
I’ve read. Yet they tell you
nothing. There’s not one
number or percentage sign
on the bloody things.
Instead there are nebulous ‘marks’ (or probably
‘mere observations’). These
include meeting expectations, or, if you’re really
smart, exceeding expectations. But nowhere does it
say exactly what the expectations are. To be able to
dress themselves? To stay
continent? To locate the
cafeteria and then not miss
their mouths?
The lowest mark, or
compliment, any kid can get is: “Beginning to
meet expectations.” That, I believe, is touchy-feely
talk for: “The kid is at school.”
Even then, they still get a tick in the lowest
column, rather than, say, a cross or a little dunce’s
cap. And no, it’s probably not called the lowest
column, or Column of Disgrace, but some neutral
name like Left-Hand Column, or the You’re Still
Great column. It seems the most astute bollocking, or goal-identification, I can give my kids is:
“Get those ticks more towards the right!”
If you are blessed enough to have a tick in
the far-right exceeding expectations column, this
triggers three obvious questions for us parents:
“By exactly how far did they exceed expectations? And can you give us
some others kids’ results to compare to? Especially the ones we don’t
like?”
We never had such politically correct terminology for the sake of
hurt feelings. Our classes in each grade were ranked by colors, such as
4 Blue (the smartest), or 4 Green. The remedial kids were in 4 White.
They didn’t even get a color.
I’m reminded of other events from the modern ‘encouragement or death’ school of schooling, where criticism and failure have
been abolished. In some British schools a while back, competitive
sport was outlawed. They still had running races, but all eight starters would get a prize. The Daily Mail summed it up thus: “Winning
banned in British schools!”
Our school isn’t there. Not quite. Not yet. But on current trends,
by the time my kids leave high school, their academic achievements
will be told through emoticons. To get into law they’ll need four
smileys and a blown kiss. Perhaps that might at least paint a clearer
picture than what they bring home now.
Our two girls’ report
cards from their
modern international
elementary school
are longer and
wordier than most
books I’ve read.

BEAT THE FLU
Tips to fight the virus this winter
A
By Dr. Leon Li
s the temperature drops, all living
creatures seem to be slowing down–
except the flu virus. The flu, also
known as influenza, is a highly contagious
illness that can occur in people of any age.
The flu virus is more active in winter months
because it can survive longer in cold environments and because people spend more time
in close contact with one another. 
The seasonal flu infects many people
every year. Once in a while, a new strain of
the virus begins to spread in a certain region
of the world: this is called a pandemic flu. A
pandemic flu sometimes causes more severe
symptoms than a seasonal flu. The most
recent flu pandemic was in 2009/2010 and
was caused by an H1N1 (“swine flu”) virus,
and there have also been sporadic outbreaks
of avian flu over the past several years.
Symptoms caused by the flu include
fever, stuffed nose, sneezing, cough, headache and body aches. Many people with the
seasonal flu will get better within one to
two weeks, even without medication. But
sometimes the flu can lead to complications
such as pneumonia, ear infection or sinusitis
or, rarely, patients can have issues with their
muscles or central nervous system.
People with the flu have a higher risk of
The most costeffective way to
prevent the flu is by
washing your hands.
complications if they have a chronic disease
– the flu will very likely worsen underlying
conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or congestive heart
failure. Therefore, it is recommended to give
anti-viral medications such as Tamiflu to
people who are at higher risk of developing
complications or are severely ill. Tamiflu can
only make a difference if taken within 48
hours of developing flu symptoms.
It is always easier to prevent than treat
diseases. For people who are very young,
very old, pregnant or have a chronic medical
condition, getting an annual flu shot before
the flu season starts will make for a much
easier winter.
The single most cost-effective way to
prevent the flu is by washing your hands regularly and thoroughly. You can use alcoholbased hand sanitizers when soap and water
are not available.
If you develop flu symptoms and you
don’t want your virus to spread to other
people, wear a mask. But be warned: wearing an off-the-shelf mask will not protect you
when somebody else is spreading the virus.
You need a professional N95 or N99 mask,
the kind that doctors and nurses wear when
taking care of airborne contagious diseases
such as avian flu or SARS. You might not look
too stylish, but you will be able to pass this
flu season in good health.

When going to a new market, do
you try to tailor your material for a
new audience?
I try to keep my themes universal so
I don’t have to change too much,
there’s just so much we all share
around the world when it comes
to laughter. From the Inuit to Africa
we are insecure about our bodies,
frustrated in love and dealing with
change. But I like to add my local observations to the mix as well.
How would you describe your comedy and who were some of your
biggest influences?
My present show bubbles with the
idea of being vulnerable and how
it’s not all it’s cracked up to be. I enjoy thinking about bigger concepts
and ideas mixed with silly. I’m not
overly influenced by anyone too
modern, but I certainly wasn’t influenced by Bill Cosby. Promise. I was
always a Newhart and Pryor fan.
Do you have any non stand-up
projects?
I am working on a new radio show,
and possibly a documentary about
the origins of humor.
You’ve also done a few acting gigs.
How’s the experience?
Acting is very weird. The amount of
time that you aren’t doing anything
at all is unreal. Actors are generally
way more upbeat than comics, and
they find a lot of the natural ribbing
we give each other mean rather
than funny.
Stand-up comedy is starting to
flourish across China.. What advice
do you give to anybody starting
out?
Love it or leave it. If you don’t
love comedy then just don’t do it.
Comedy isn’t a path, it’s a destination and journey of its own. Also
don’t get drunk and hit on the club
owner’s wife.
2014 was a bit of a crazy year. What
news story did you mine the most
for material?
I’m planning on writing a very silly
new show for 2015 since 2014 was
pretty dark.
Is there anything you would like
to add?
A cup of sugar and a bag of money.

You’re a qualified French and
German teacher – are you funny in
other languages (Chinese)? 
I wish I was funny in other languages, then I would be the most famous
comedian in the world! Truth be
told, it’s hard to be funny in German,
even for Germans.
 
In your career, which opening joke
has gone down the worst? 
Opening jokes are the most important, as that’s when people judge
you the most; a bad first joke can
easily turn into a bad show, so luckily I have always picked my opening
one-liners very, very carefully!
 
Let’s hear your favorite? 
I went to see a child psychologist. 
He was rubbish, he was only seven.
 
That’s a good one. Let’s suppose
for a moment that you weren’t a
comedian, what do you think you’d
be instead? 
Very unhappy. Being a comedian is
the best job in the entire world and I
still love it even after 25 years.
You’ve been touring almost nonstop now for the best part of two
decades. What’s the biggest crowd
you’ve ever played to? 
Probably 7,000 or so people in a
hockey stadium in Canada. It was an
unforgettable evening.
You’ve been to China before, describe it in one line?
Err… magical and hypnotic… a place I
could easily fall in love with.
Love is a powerful emotion, John.
Returning to matters of the head,
rather than the heart, you’ve got
a much publicized brand new BBC
Radio show launching later this
year – what should listeners in
China expect? 
Comedy monologues and outright
hilarious sketches, featuring some of
the very best in British comedy talent.
Sounds good. OK, comedy aside,
what’s your most unusual skill?
I can play the accordion! Come to the
show, I’ll play you a tune!
Really?
Probably not… but I will tell some
jokes and make you laugh.
Works for us.

It’s the last full month of the China Basketball Association (CBA) regular season
and the Shanghai Sharks find themselves in the hunt for a playoff spot. After
a disastrous start to the season where they lost their first six games, the team
has battled back recently winning eight of their last nine games. Leading the
charge is former Miami Heat forward Michael Beasley. In his first year out of the
NBA, the former Number 2 draft pick is averaging over 28 points, 10 rebounds
and 4 assists per game, as he vies for attention from NBA teams to pick him up
after the CBA season. The team still sits a few games behind Jilin, who hold the
last playoff spot, but have plenty of games to make up room, with home games
against other middle-of-the-pack teams like Tianjin (Jan 2), Shandong (Jan 4),
Jiangsu (Jan 7), Fujian (Jan 14), Dongguan (Jan 21) and Bayi (Jan 30)

Morton’s Steak & Seafood
Grille
Feast on fresh new menu items
Vastly different from its more traditional sister restaurant in the IFC, Morton’s branch in
IAPM mall takes on an altogether unique experience – still serving the original steaks
we love, but with a contemporary vibe and an evolving menu of dazzlingly fresh seafood. The only Morton’s in the world to specialize in seafood, this branch is unique in
that chefs have the freedom to adapt their seasonal menu twice a year, resulting in an
exciting, vibrant selection.
Oysters seem to be everywhere in Shanghai these days, but Morton’s has improved on their raw menu by introducing fresh clams, which can be ordered by the
half-dozen (RMB295, add a glass of champagne for RMB100). Meaty, flavorful and
decidedly more substantial than your standard oyster, these beauties were all the more
improved by a trio of garnishes: ginger and sesame relish, fresh lemons, and shallot
vinegar.
Next up were three (frankly enormous) seared scallops dressed with fresh green
leek vinaigrette and deliciously candied bacon (RMB260). With a golden-brown crust
and tender flesh inside, these were some of the best and most generously portioned
scallops we’ve had in Shanghai.
For mains, we moved onto the new veal chop in porcini mushroom sauce
(RMB318 with the daily lunch deal including salad or soup). Another giant-sized portion, the rich and delicate meat was counteracted with a pleasantly charred crust
of fat. For those sticking to fish, the white tuna Oskar (available for dinner and the
RMB318 lunch set) is an excellent choice, with a crisp golden skin, beurre blanc sauce
and asparagus, crowned with a generous helping of fresh jumbo crabmeat. Beyond
tender and filling, this entrée proved itself a very worthy alternative to Morton’s famous
beefsteaks.

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 mairtime 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.

2015 AFC Asian Cup
Assessing China’s (slim) hopes of glory Down Under
BY IAN WALKER AND NED KELLY
The Asian Cup will take place in Australia from January 9 to 31, and China managed to sneak in as the best thirdplaced team of the five qualifying groups (pipping Lebanon by just one on goal difference). Not the most auspicious
start. Drawn in Group B alongside Saudi Arabia, Uzbekistan and North Korea, we take a look at their chances…
Saudi Arabia
Jan 10, 5pm, Brisbane
Uzbekistan
Jan 14, 5pm, Brisbane
North Korea
Jan 18, 5pm, Canberra
First up, three-time Asian Cup winners Saudi
Arabia (1984, 1988, 1996), who topped China’s
group in qualifying. Ranked 75th in the world,
they draw their entire squad from domestic
clubs. There is a strong contingent from 2014
Asian Champions League (ACL) finalists Al-Hilal,
including Nasser Al-Shamran. You may remember him as the guy who, after defeat to Western
Sydney Wanderers, spat on opponent Matthew
Spiranovic, before attempting to headbutt him.
As a result of his conduct, the 31-year-old was
handed an eight match ACL ban by the Asian
Football Confederation (AFC). A lovely boy.
Next up is the mighty Uzbekistan. It might
sound like we were being sarcastic there
(okay, we were being sarcastic there) but at
55th in the world, the Uzbeks are actually
the highest ranked team in the group - and
rank higher than 2014 World Cup qualifiers
South Korea (60) and Australia (63). They also
boast captain Server Djeparov of Korean side
Seongnam, who has 23 goals for his country,
defender Vitaliy Denisov of Lokomotiv Moscow

Yatai,
right?! Some real household names in there…
Last up is North Korea, ranked a lowly 133rd in
the world. They do have 30-year-old Jong TaeSe, though. With 33 goals in 15 games for the
national team, no one can argue with his strike
rate. He is most famous, however, for blubbing
away when the North Korean national anthem is
played before matches, most notably when the
DPRK played their first game of the 2010 World
Cup against Brazil. We’d also discourage any
American journalists from approaching North
Korean players over the duration of the tournament – it has been clearly established they are

Ranked 98th in the world, the Chinese national team has long faced the derision of 1.3 billion frustrated fans. With the arrival of new coach Frenchman
Alain Perrin last year, however, they have embarked on an unprecedented eight-match unbeaten run, including wins against Kuwait, Thailand, Paraguay
and Kyrgyzstan (twice!). Here are four players to watch.
