To show respect for departed relatives during Qingming Festival it’s been the tradition to burn paper gifts.
But this year, things fanned out to be a little bit fancier. Paper replicas of iPhones, designer handbags and
sports cars were being plucked up for the furnace. Despite the availability of even more extravagant offerings, like entire villas, Apple products were the most popular. You can fetch your own fake phone for
RMB3.6, but the villa will cost you a cool RMB30.

What a dump
Companies are being asked to
offer smog ‘danger allowances’
after an American NGO survey
found 48 percent of Chinese businesses had problems attracting
international workers. The extra
cash usually comes in at about 10
percent of a salary, but some companies have been known to pay
as much as RMB150,000. In other
smog-related news, Beijing has
come up with an answer to tackle
the pollution problem: place air
bubbles over sections of the city.
Sadly, this solution doesn’t appear
to be too pop-ular.
Last month we saw an upsidedown abode being constructed
in Shanghai. This month, 10
3D printed houses have landed

just 24 hours! Made entirely
out of industrial waste recycled
into concrete and produced on

sqm structures will cost a mere RMB30,000 each. Quick and cheap – it’s
the perfect setup. Time to get your house on order…

Thugs selling drugs
More than 100 members of a hospital con-artist group have been
arrested after scamming RMB1.7
million out of 500 patients, in
March alone. Targeting non-locals
who came to Shanghai specifically
for health care, the self-prescribed
medics would approach the out-oftowners at Metro stations (and even
inside hospitals, if they were having
trouble getting appointments). The poor patients would then be taken
to private hospitals and clinics, where doctors working for corrupt
organizations would prescribe them ‘meds’ – like herbal drinks - sometimes at a 2,000 percent mark-up.
A subset of fan fiction which
focuses on sexual relationships
between fictional characters of
the same sex is the latest target
in a crackdown on online pornographic content. Known as slash
fiction, the relationship between
Star Trek’s Kirk and Spock is
one of many examples of the
genre that has caught the attentions of China’s National Office
Against Pornographic and Illegal
Publications (NOAPIP). But no
pairing has proven more popular
on the web than Sherlock and
Watson, with numerous Chinese
sites hosting fan fiction depicting
the British detectives as a couple.
Rankings
SH does it again
Shanghai and Beijing come in
again with top marks this month
and no it’s not for poor air pollution, worst record for delayed
flights or flashy building designs.
According to Trip Advisor, the two
cities rank among the top 10 destinations for travel – Beijing winning fourth place and Shanghai
coming in at number 10, one
peg below Siem Reap. Istanbul
hit the top spot, knocking Paris
down to seventh. We only hope
this trend will continue through
to Shanghai’s international food

Soldiers of
Misfortune
The KMT veterans on the wrong side of history
Noemi Cassanelli
BY Karoline Kan
A
t Babaoshan Cemetery in Beijing’s
Shijingshan District, people gather
to pay their respects to Jiang
Dazong, a former member of the
Kuomintang (KMT). Wearing white flowers
on their lapels, they wander in and out of the
funeral hall, bidding farewell to a man who
lived for 92 years in a land which he fought for,
protected and loved. That same land, in turn,
forgot him, save for the 60 or so people in attendance at the ceremony.
All falls silent as the eulogy is read aloud.
“Jiang Dazong was born in May 1922.
When the Japanese invaded China he voluntarily dropped out of university and joined the
army in 1944, before being sent to battle in
Burma to protect the only road by which war
goods could be sent to China…”
Hearing the obituary, an old man standing
in the corner sheds a tear. He fought alongside
Jiang. “I was also a KMT soldier who fought in
World War Two,” he reveals. “I guess what we
did in that war is forgotten by people today.”
But while many of the stories of the individuals who fought have faded from memory,
the war remains a central part of historical
education and patriotism in China. As the
14
May 2014
Sino-Japanese war broke out in July 1937, the
KMT and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)
suspended their civil conflict to form the AntiJapanese National United Front. Between 1937
and 1945, 3.8 million Chinese soldiers from
both armies were either injured or died before
I only wish to be
treated fairly. I fought
against the Japanese,
why on earth did
I become a war
criminal?
Japan surrendered in 1945.
“No matter which side the [veterans] were
from, KMT or CCP, they were heroes,” says Xue
Gang, a Beijing-based volunteer researcher
who spends his spare time looking for and
recording the stories of veterans of the AntiJapanese War. “The honor of winning the war
should be shared by both sides.”
But victory against the Japanese swiftly
marked the end of the KMT and the CCP’s
cooperation, and the civil war soon resumed.
And the fact that the two sides fought alongside one against the Japanese is often ignored.
“The ideological disputes that went on for
years afterward the civil war have somehow
wiped KMT veterans from the honor list,” says
Xue.
In 1949, KMT leader Chiang Kai-shek fled
with his forces to Taiwan, taking with him
about two million surviving soldiers.
But many KMT soldiers remained on the
Chinese Mainland.
Director of Shenzhen Longyue Charity
Foundation Sun Chunlong, who supports the
volunteers helping veterans, estimates that
over 20,000 KMT veterans remained on the
Chinese Mainland without being incorporated
into the PLA. He believes fewer than a thousand of them have been identified.
The subsequent experiences of these
veterans proved very different from their communist and Taiwan-based counterparts. Many
became the targets of suspicion and persecution, according to 93-year-old Fu Guoqian,
lead » CITY
Family members, friends and volunteers bid farewell to former
KMT veteran Jiang Dazong, at Beijing’s Babaoshan Cemetery
who has been labeled a KMT reactionary, a spy
and a political criminal.
On the wall of Fu’s room hangs a photo
taken 70 years ago. The young, handsome
KMT lieutenant bares little resemblance to the
old man with silver hair and humpback now
standing beside it. The intervening years have
been trying for the elderly veteran.
Born into a rich Chinese family in
Thailand, Fu traveled to China aged 19 and,
full of patriotic fervor, joined the army in
1939. After graduating from Whampoa
Military Academy in 1943, he was sent to the
Sino-American Special Technical Cooperative
Organization (SACO), an intelligence agency
built to strengthen collaboration between
China and the US.
After victory over the Japanese, Fu spent
several years working in Beijing and Datong
where, in 1949, he was captured by the PLA,
sentenced to 15 years in jail and sent to
Xinjiang for “re-education.”
“I don’t ask for much; I only wish to be
treated fairly,” he laments. “I fought against
the Japanese, why on earth did I become a war
criminal?”
Fu’s family also suffered for his past.
During the Cultural Revolution, his wife buried
any items linked to her husband by a river
bank. While he was in jail, she wept to herself
at night and would tell their son: “If anybody
asks anything related to your father, tell him
you don’t have one.”
The civil war and
the ideological
disputes have
somehow wiped KMT
veterans from the
honor list
Nonetheless, the young Fu Shengli was
still bullied at school and his later life was also
haunted by the shadow of his father’s ‘political issues.’ His application to join the PLA was
rejected in the ‘political investigation’ process,
and when he later worked in a state-owned
factory, promotion proved impossible, no mat-
ter how diligently he worked.
“Sometimes I blamed my father. But who
should my father blame?” he asks.
Such difficulties are not uncommon among
the KMT veterans that Xue Gang has encountered in his work with former soldiers. “We are
taught that everybody should be responsible
for their country’s fate but who is going to be
responsible for the individuals?” he asks.
“If it was the special circumstances of the
period that caused the veterans’ tragedy, who
is going to compensate them for their sacrifice?”
Many of the veterans found that their
choices came to shape their futures in arbitrary ways, and feel a sense of injustice at
being made to suffer for innocent decisions. A
veteran in Hunan told Xue Gang:
“It was spring. I was working in my field.
Then the KMT army came and the leader told
me, ‘Now our country is in danger, what’s
the point of you staying here protecting your
home?’
“I thought he was right, and at least if I
followed them I wouldn’t have to worry about
food. But if the Japanese came I might have
been killed.”

Wu Jiangping was born in 1913 in

97-year-old Zhao Zhenying spent 20 years in jail
due to his association with the KMT. Now living in
Beijing, he was present at the official surrender
of Japan in 1945 as a senior member of the winning side. Today Zhao is willing to talk about his
experience, which he kept secret for sixty years
believing it to be a “shameful personal
stain.”
lead » CITY
He joined the army, a decision that came to
define his later life.
“I blamed myself after, but how could I
have known that a legal army of the government would become illegal in the future? For
a long time, I kept thinking about what would
have happened if the army passing by my field
had been the CCP instead. Maybe I would have
my pension, live in a nice house and be regarded as a national hero.”
Such respect is something that many of
these old men have dreamed of.
“Only those who were once in the army
understand the veterans’ eagerness for honor
and recognition,” says Xue. “Especially in a
country where the Anti-Japanese War is so often mentioned and remembered.”
In the early winter of 2009, Xue and his
fellow volunteers bought some military coats
printed with “Veterans of World War Two” for
former KMT soldiers found in mountainous areas. He says that, upon receiving the gifts, the
veterans cried as if they had finally received
official recognition for their efforts, although
the garments had simply been produced by the
volunteers.
Xue says that one former soldier put on
the coat and walked from door to door through
the whole village showing people that he had
not lied – he was one of the heroes who fought
against the Japanese.
“They protect everything we give them
that relates to their identity as a soldier, no
matter if it is a uniform, a flag, a badge or even

an envelope with a World War Two logo on it,”
says Xue. “They treat them as antiques, wrapping them in clothes and keeping them in the
bottom of their cabinets.”
Fortunately, the ideology and historical
narrative surrounding the role of the KMT
is slowly changing. Xue claims that tracking
down former soldiers has become easier since
2005, when former Chinese President Hu
Jintao praised the role of the KMT in the AntiJapanese War in a speech marking the 60th anniversary of the conflict. Increasing numbers
of volunteers are working to bring awareness
to war heroes and encourage more open discussions on their role.
In July 2013, China’s Ministry of Civil
Affairs announced that, although KMT veterans are still not included in the state’s obligation to care for former soldiers through the national social security system, it is “still paying
high attention to the issue and asks all levels
of government organs to provide related social
assistance.”
It is a welcome development, says Xue, but
sadly one that may prove too late.

“It is not perfect, but at least it shows significant progress. I am still waiting for more
announcements and clearer ones too,” he says.
“The veterans are old, some disabled, abandoned by their family or regarded as bringing
bad luck to people around them.
“I don’t know how long these people can
wait. The war ended almost 70 years ago, they
cannot wait for another 70 years.”
But the shift in attitudes, although small, is
a welcome development for many former KMT
soldiers, who previously hid their past lives.
They include 97-year-old Zhao Zhenying, who
was accused of being counter-revolutionary
and sentenced to 20 years in jail in 1969.
“I never mentioned anything about those
days to anybody. I thought it was shameful,” he
explains.
But in the year of the war’s 60th anniversary, while watching a documentary about the
Japanese surrender, he said quietly to his son:
“I attended the ceremony that day.”
“Outside as a bystander?” asked his son.
“No, inside the hall, as a member of the
winning side. I witnessed the whole process –
how the Japanese commander-in-chief Yasuji
Okamura surrendered to general He Yingqin,”
he told him.
Zhao recalls that his son was shocked,
unable to believe that his father – who he had
been ashamed of in his youth – was one of the
heroes honored at the event. It was a small but
invaluable moment of recognition for the aging veteran.

Whose Line Is It Anyway?
Half ours, half theirs, as it happens…
BY NED KELLY
Kings of rib-tickling improv, the Whose Line Is It Anyway? crew hit town this month. We decided to test their
mirth-making mettle by asking the quartet to complete some, well, lines…
Stephen Frost
I’m only going to speak Chinese for the rest
of my life… I ate a mandarin at Christmas.
I’d rather not marry Angelina Jolie… I’m not
qualified to marry anyone. I think you need a
priest or something.
I fought the law and… eventually got it to
look quite nice. Oh, sorry, I thought you said
lawn…
Don’t assume it was a bad dream, it might
just have been… a good nightmare.
I love social media, it… makes me like, poke,
send, delete… ahhhhhh, bloody computers!
In a post apocalyptic world, I would
be… bad at spelling
I wish I was born… a foot shorter, then I’d be
a bit younger. I’m 6’6” - work it out.
When I see a giant panda… I’ve obviously
fallen asleep in a zoo.
Ian Coppinger
I can’t wait to breathe the smog in China…
it’s cleaner than my bedroom.
My recurring nightmare involves… being in
my bedroom.
Men are better off with Kim Jong-un haircuts because… if you ever commit a crime and
there is a line up, then there is a good chance
that you might get away with it.
Beijing is better than Shanghai because… it’s closer to my house.
Irish jokes are unfair because… we don’t get
them.
I never laugh at horses… they always look so
sad, with their big long faces.
Ich bin ein… Is that German for “I am Ian”? If
so I’m happy with that.
And with my pants finally off, I told the
judge… its your turn.
Andy Smart
 
To be, or not to be… are two of three options
we all have.
Taking a taxi in China is the best… they
throw in a fair ground ride.
All men should own a… duck.
When in Rome…  go with your girlfriend and
take her up the Spanish Steps.
Every morning when I look into the mirror
I… realize I’ll never play for England – unless
it’s Crown Green Bowling.
Steve Steen
The Sino-US relationship is… ready for a
great big selfie.
A lady is not a lady unless… she lives in
Bangkok, then she’s a bloke.
I wouldn’t imitate animals… I’d hurt my back
trying to lick my own genitals.
If music be the food of love… then rosin your
bow and have a fiddle.
The first thing I do in the morning is… have
a piss. If I could just make it to the toilet
first…
Shanghai reminds me of a cross
between… Shangri-la, a mystic place,
and that most curiously pedantic
poetry form – a Haiku, five
seven five.
The Great Wall… is ready
for some great graffiti.

IAAF Diamond League
There’s gold in this here field
BY Andrew Chin
T
he IAAF Diamond League
returns to Shanghai
Stadium with a starstudded lineup of competitors including four Olympic gold
medalists and nine champions from
last year’s IAAF World Championships
in Moscow.
All eyes will be on Jamaican sprinter
Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, the third
woman to win two straight Olympic gold
medals in the 100m sprint. The 27-yearold ‘Pocket Rocket’ dominated last year,
becoming the first female to win gold medals
in the 100m, 200m and 4x100m at the World
Championships.
Hometown hero Xie Wenjun will attempt
to repeat last year’s victory in the 110m hurdles. However, standing in his way is four-time
US champion David Oliver. The 31-year-old
picked up a bronze at the Beijing Olympics
and claimed his first World Championships
last year.
One of sport’s great rivalries will continue in Shanghai. German pole vaulter
Raphael Holzdeppe claimed last year’s World
Championship, but faces Olympic gold medalist Renaud Lavillenie, who is off to a stellar
start to the year. The Frenchman set a world
record in February, clearing 6.16 meters.
Croatian discus thrower Sandra Perković
will try to continue her recent run of dominance. The 2012 Olympic gold medalist finished last year’s Diamond League season on
an unbeaten run and returns to the city where
she set a national record two years ago.
The men’s shot put will feature three of
the best. Two-time Olympic gold medalist
Tomasz Majewski will attempt to best last
year’s world champion David Storl. The
23-year-old German dominated last
year’s competition, winning every
indoor competition except the
Sopot world indoor final, which
was won by Ryan Whiting, who
will also be competing.
The meet will include 16
events. Nine for men (100m,
800m, 5000m, 110m hurdles,
400m hurdles, pole vault,
triple jump, shot put and
javelin) and seven for women (200m, 400m, 1500m,
3000m steeplechase, high jump,
long jump and discus).
Other athletes to keep an eye on
include Olympic gold medalist Christian
Taylor (triple jump), world champions Milcah
Chemos (steeplechase) and Jehue Gordon
(400m hurdles), who will make her Shanghai
debut.

Africa's china safari
From Zheng He to Guangzhou's ‘Chocolate City’
By Ali Ali
Zheng He brought back elephants, giraffes and... Somalis
A
s any black readers will know, looking for a job in China can be a bittersweet experience. For every recruiter that loves the fact that you are a
native English speaker, there is another who
takes one look at your photo and imagines that
you came fresh from a refugee camp.
Tired of hearing phrases such as: “I’m
sorry sir, but I’m afraid that you are too darkskinned,” I decided to use my background (and
my journalism degree) to my advantage, and –
long story short – ended up as a business editor for a magazine specializing in Sino-African
relations.
The job necessitated a visa, which in turn
required a trip to Hong Kong. With it came a
stopover in Guangzhou, a city that I had been
reliably informed was home to a thriving
African community dubbed, in true Chinese
fashion, ‘Chocolate City.’
Its very moniker can offend the most
ardent of liberal black folk. In my mind, I envisioned a pre-apartheid Bantustan-like ghetto,
where African immigrants were forced to live
and carry out their lives under strict observation by local officials.
I was sorely mistaken.
Stepping into Chocolate City was one of
my most profound China experiences. A mixture of winding alleys and high-rise buildings,
the area is home to a wide variety of businesses selling just about everything, from Beyoncéinspired hair extensions to electrical goods.
The air, thick with smells and spices, instantly
took me back to my mother’s kitchen.
Snooping from shop to shop, I was greeted
20
May 2014
by shopkeepers who were more than happy to
stand for a quick chat and ask, “Brother, what
are you doing in China?” But the enclave in not
an ‘African-only’ zone. Side by side, Chinese
shops sell pungent stinky tofu and crates of
Tsingtao.
Here I was feeling like
the first black person
in China. Not only was
I beaten to it by over
700 years, he was a
Somali, just like me
A true melting pot then – a place where
any preconceived notions of African and
Chinese culture as somehow alien to one
another are quickly dismissed. As I stood contemplating this fact, a four-year-old girl started tugging at my leg, calling “Uncle, Uncle” in
Cantonese.
Born to a Guangdong merchant father and
a Zambian entrepreneur mother, her softly
curled hair, almond-shaped eyes and caramel
skin were features unique to her surroundings. The girl was quickly apprehended by her
father, who apologized and invited me into his
shop to meet his wife.
The experience got me thinking about
the history of Sino-African relations. While
researching the subject, I came to learn of the
voyages of the great admiral Zheng He. In the
14th century, Zheng’s fleet landed in the trading post of Mogadishu, then a flourishing citystate famed for its production of incense, and
now better known as the capital of Somalia,
the country of my father.
Eager for its famed incense to be brought
back to China to be burned at the altars of its
most prestigious temples, the Sultan began
trading with the admiral. He offered two
giraffes as a present to the Yongle Emperor
and ten emissaries to be sent on a diplomatic
mission to Quanzhou in Fujian, then one of the
largest ports in the world.
Here I was feeling as if I was the first black
person in China. Not only did the first black
person beat me by over 700 years, he was a
Somali, just like me. He could well have been
an ancestor of mine.
The wonder that is Chocolate City is not
a recent phenomenon; black people lived
and worked in the Middle Kingdom centuries
before the first opium-selling European fleets
arrived.
Swapping a turban and sandals for a
PM2.5 mask and Air Jordans, it makes me feel
a whole lot better that for every step I take
through the long and winding roads of China,
my ancestor was out there doing his thing
back in the Ming Dynasty.

What Would Confucius Do?
MORAL DILEMMAS, AGE-OLD WISDOM
BY Professor Chang Yaohua
I
enjoy the thrill of stealing things. For
the past year, I have taken a variety of
low-value items from my office (printer paper, staplers and so on). I know
that stealing is wrong, but my company is a
big multinational and the loss of these small
items makes no difference to its sizable
profits. To make myself feel better, I then
calculate the total value of everything I take
and donate that same amount of money to
charity. Am I an immoral kleptomaniac or a
force for social justice?
Let me begin by telling you a story from
the ancient Chinese classic, The Great Learning,
in which a man commits all manner of villainous acts when left alone. In front of others,
however, he hides this side of his personality,
presenting a more kindly and honest face.
There is no real difference between “stealing a variety of low-value items” or committing
a more serious crime. The stain is permanent.
You “enjoy the thrill of stealing things” because,
like the man in the tale, you are shielded from
the judgment of others. You “calculate the total
value of everything and donate the money”
because you wish to be present yourself as a
gentlemen in the company of others.
As the Chinese say: there is not such a
wall that the wind can’t blow through. I am
afraid it won’t be long before your little secret
is noticed. It won’t matter how much you have
contributed to charity, you will be remembered
only as thief. Is that what you want?
I am reminded here of another Chinese
saying: the Gods observe everything human
beings do on earth. When you indulge in the
pleasures and thrills of stealing, you feel unease in your heart. You donate not because you
want to contribute, but because you wish to
make yourself comfortable. You hope you can
be regarded as a hero in modern times, but you
are cheating yourself. Confucius said: “Good
people are at peace with themselves, (but)
there is no rest for the wicked.”
So what should you do? The Great Learning
suggests, “a man of virtue will be cautious
of what he does even when he is alone.” And
Confucius’ student Zengzi once said, “Wealth
can be used to decorate the house, while virtue
can nourish your body and heart, making you
bright and open-minded. A noble person must
be honest and sincere.”
Confucius encouraged self-examination.
Since you know it is wrong to steal, it’s not too
late to change. I know there are many of people
like you who rely on their luck. But luck, I’m
afraid, is the last thing to be relied on.

Street eats
and picnics
in Hongqiao
A Japanese hub with many
Asian street eats
BY LAUREN HOGAN
Sauntering off to Hongqiao – the closer end, only
three stops on Line 2 from Jing’an Temple – we
went in search of what we thought was Japan Town.
While the area does house many izakaya eateries, a
Japanese mall and the country’s consulate, what we
learned was this area was excellent for street food
from a variety of Asian countries. We came, we ate,
we waddled our way around the neighborhood…
Eat:
Baozi
This baozi stand, which looks like all the others around town, sells regional specialties, like naihuang bao – custard-filled buns (RMB1.5-2)
– and an unusual Fujian specialty called jin bao yin, in which a savory
filling of meat and bamboo shoots is tucked inside a sticky outer shell
made with lotus flour (RMB4). // Corner of loushanguan lu, and Xianxia lu 娄山关路
仙霞路路口
Roaster Cafe
Newly opened, this darling Taiwanese-owned spot roasts their own
beans, offers espresso-based drinks and will soon do pour-over coffees. If this branch is successful, they plan to open more around town.
Americano (RMB14/17). New York Sandwich Café is right next door if
the thought of dumplings paired with coffee makes you wrinkle your
nose. // 179 Xianxia lu, by loushanguan lu 仙霞路179号, 近娄山关路
Fei Bing Xun Chang (飞饼寻常shaomai)
Steamed dumplings of this caliber are a rarity. Possibly the best we’ve
had in Shanghai, these shaomai – packed with juicy pork – hails from
the east coast of China, typical of provinces like Fujian and Guangdong.
At each of the three circular windows a variety of dishes are available,
but for the shaomai, head to the furthest one. Take a selection, then walk
a few blocks back to Hongqiao Park for a picnic. Look for the sign out
front advertising ‘Delicious Gruel.’ We promise it’s much better than it
sounds. // 207 Xianxia lu, by loushanguan lu 仙霞路207号, 近娄山关路
Japanese Food Hub
With many Japanese businesses in the area, traditional restaurants serving sushi, ramen and more pop up frequently on this walk. Step inside
the Far East International Plaza, and you immediately see walls lined
with pictures of raw fish – about six quality restaurants in total. You’ll
find everything from soba to okonomiyaki. For our pick of soba visit
sobamonbei.com. Spoiler: The Family Mart stock doesn’t resemble what
you’d find on the island. // 317 Xianxia lu, by Gubei lu 仙霞路317号, 近古北路
Veggie Pot
Only noodles are served during lunch, but come evening the menu is
blanketed with a variety of vegetarian and organic options with produce
brought in from Tony’s Farm. // 1488 Hongqiao lu, by Gubei lu 虹桥路1488号, 近古北路

Hong Kong Dim Sum King

variety of delicious dim sum from steamed pork buns (RMB13) to teacup soufflés (RMB58/two) – plus they’re open till 2am.
// 413 Xianxia lu, by Furongjiang lu 仙霞路413号, 近芙蓉江路
Do:
Park picnic
If you put on your walking shoes, you’ll want to come before it gets too
hot. But if you just want to sit and stay a while, the handful of parks we
passed all welcomed visitors to chill on the grass.
Hongqiao Park, located across from a mall, has a short jogging path,
fountains and a park restaurant with a huge deck. (Xianxia Lu, Zunyi Lu)
Xin Hongqiao Center Park (the one with The Flower Tree Sculpture),
is surprisingly quiet, despite being next to Yan’an Lu. There’s a small
lake in the center. (Hongqiao Lu, Yan’an Bei Lu)
Shuixia Park – Running alongside Shuicheng Lu, this park sees lots
of activity and has a stream running through the three blocks of green.
Grab something from one of the many neighboring restaurants or bars
and enjoy. You’ll find lots of Japanese treats, including snack stands
selling items like takoyaki (Japanese octopus balls, 344 Shuicheng Lu)
(Shuicheng Lu, Honggu Lu)
Takashimaya Japanese Mall
We don’t recommend heading here for shopping – it’s the same as all the
other big malls in town – but with a variety of food options, a Western
grocery in the basement and several quality restaurants on the seventh
floor, it’s a good food choice if you have indecisive eaters amongst the
group. // 1438 Hongqiao lu, by Manao lu 虹桥路1438号古北国际财富中心2期裙房, 近玛瑙路
Shanghai Oil Painting and Sculpture Institute
Founded in 1965, this gallery houses 40 working studios, a huge showroom, large sculpture studio and teaching building. Along with featuring
notable artists, it has also won numerous international awards. // 111
Jinzhu lu, by Yan’an Xi lu 金珠路111号, 近延安西路 (www.gooood.hk/_d271329131.htm)
Mandarin City Pool – This popular pool is just a short taxi ride over from
the area and should open in the coming month. Last year’s entrance fee
was RMB80. // 788 Hongxu lu, by Huaguang lu 虹许路788号, 近华光路
When Japanese artist Nobou Sekine was
asked by Art Criticism magazine whether
there was any particular sculpture in
Shanghai that had made an impression on
him, he came back with a vehement response:
“Yes, the huge flower tree near Shanghai
Mart. It is so ugly!”
Made up of more than 180 vividly-colored
flowers, the 16-meter-high bouquet created
by American-Chinese artist Wendy H Moy
has been a divisive public artwork ever since
it appeared in 2006. Reportedly copying it
from a piece by Korean Jeong-Hwa Choi that
she saw at the Venice Biennale, she thought it
would make a welcoming structure for those
entering Shanghai’s center. The Changning
District Government chose it from among 42
entries, describing it as harmonious, full of
life and without a hint of political subtext.
How to get there:
Take Line 2 to Loushanguan Lu and head out of Exit 2. Walk three
blocks south along Loushanguan Lu until you reach Xianxia Lu. Here is
our starting point. Follow the map above to choose your route.

What is ModeinAsia?
ModeinAsia is an online and offline
shop you come to when you are looking for the next treasured piece to
add to your wardrobe, without having to break the bank.
stock jeans but ripped jeans seem to
be everywhere this season, so I had
to buy a pair.
How would you describe your
style?
Easy chic with a touch of glamour.
With a baby and two businesses to
run, I really don’t have much time
to think about my outfits. If I am in
jeans, I might vamp it up with a fur
coat, while if I am in need of a splash
of color, I pick a Lalalove London
Skirt to wear. I always tell my customers that the lazy girl’s guide to
looking stylish is to wear one standout item and keep the rest pretty basic. This way, you can do no wrong.
Fashion is…
A lifetime adventure, so one should
not stop exploring and trying different looks and style. Despite what
some people think, fashion is not
frivolous – on the contrary, it’s a
powerful form of expression. When
you are in the right dress and shoes,
you can be anyone you want to be.
How do you select the designers
you stock?
I’m drawn to designers who have
strong identities and clear visions. I
like picking up a piece and being able
to associate it immediately with its
creator, whether by its prints, design,
cut or quality.

wrappings and foil. The eccentric creations seem to have found quite
a few fans among Chinese netizens, with many praising Wang for her
“indescribable sense of abstract beauty.” Her account now has close to

Funk it up
You’ve probably heard
that bow ties are back. No?
Ok, maybe they aren’t. But
because – let’s face it – men’s
fashion can be pretty boring,
we think investing in a funky
little style accessory every
now and again should be a must. Ties and bow ties are the ideal way to tart up an
outfit with spots, stripes, patterns or color variety for a seasonal jaunt. So embrace
your bolder self and get your hands on a quirky bow tie from Beijing-based brand
Ben Shouzao (本手造), all rigorously handmade. You’ll fit right in at Senator Saloon.

Created in 1976, Dutch kickboxing is a combination of
classic boxing, Japanese Kyokushin Karate and Thai boxing. After an intense warm up, our Saturday class – taught
by five-time kickboxing world champion and two-time undefeated boxing champion Michele Aboro – saw us strapping on padded shinguards and gloves, before partnering
up to practice sets of punches and kicks that made for a
thoroughly hardcore, full body workout. Aboro guided us
the whole class, attentively checking and correcting our
technique to maximize training, which is open to both
newbies and more advanced boxers. If boxing and high-intensity disciplines are your thing, other classes like professional boxing, circuit training and Zen boxing – a two-hour
session that includes 45 minutes of meditation – are also
taught at Aboro Academy and very much worth hitting up.

BEAUTY BOOM
Holding a mirror to China’s cosmetic makeover
BY Marianna Cerini
E
very morning, 24-year-old Beijing office
worker Wang Yan wakes up at 5.30am,
in order to give herself enough time to
complete her daily beauty regime, before beginning her journey to work three hours
later. Like many young women her age in China,
Wang invests a significant amount of time and
money in cosmetics. It’s a trend that has helped
propel the country’s beauty industry to record
profits. Last year, Chinese consumers spent
USD25.9 billion on beauty products, making it
the country’s fourth largest sector for discretionary expenditure. Only houses, cars and travel
rank higher.
“In China, your face really is your card to the
world,” says Joanna Hutchins, former Unilever
Global Brand Director for Skin Care at Pond’s
and current Managing Director of Dragon Rouge,
a global brand strategy, innovation and design
consulting company that counts almost 30 beauty brands among its clients. “And that’s the case
for both men and women. The way you look, the
28
May 2014
quality of your skin, whether you appear tired
or stressed – those have all become concerns of
paramount importance to the Chinese middle
class.”
This concept of mianzi (face), a social construct that runs deep within Chinese culture
and relies on a person’s surface appearances to
reflect his or her status, is an important industry
driver. White-collar women alone spend an average 30 percent of their total income on cosmetic
treatments and products. Men are not far behind.
According to research firm Euromonitor, the
grooming sector – the second largest worldwide
after South Korea – has seen an annual growth of
29 percent between 2009 and 2014, compared
to 5.7 percent in North America and 7.9 percent
in Europe. In a recent survey by consumer research firm Kantar Worldpanel, a whopping 73
percent of Chinese men in China’s leading cities
believe that looking good is essential for success
with both women and work.
As Chinese GDP continues to grow, so does
the local appetite for products – be that skincare,
fragrances, men’s cosmetics or cosmosceuticals. “You don’t see anything like that anywhere
else in the world,” says Hutchins. “Consumers
perceive beauty purchases as investments in
their career, private life and social success. They
consider appearances a major asset to their persona: women want to transform, while men are
not as interested in looking different as they are
in looking perfect.”
Interestingly, such obsession for a flawless
and healthy image often only extends from the
neck up. Chinese shoppers aren’t as interested
in body products – preserving one’s pale skin by
layering on clothes, even in summertime, is still
common.
Facial skin care forms the most popular sector among the local market. Whitening products
are the nation’s highest sellers, followed closely
by new-fangled, China-centric hydration products – which now represent almost one-third of
all facial moisturizers sales in China. It is, quite
lead » LIFE & STYLE
You don’t see anything like that anywhere
else in the world. Consumers perceive beauty
purchases as investments in their career,
private life and social success
literally, all about face.
A trip to Sephora on Nanjing Xi Lu – the
French company’s largest store worldwide – on
a sunny Sunday afternoon helps confirm this
fact. The place is packed with young, style-savvy
women toting baskets filled with moisturizers,
makeup removers, serums, BB cream and face
masks.
“Protecting my skin from the sun is quite
important to me,” says 25-year-old Li Haitong,
as she browses the store’s extensive selection
of colorfully packaged, pricey balms. “I like to
keep it hydrated and natural-looking. Hanskin
BB cream is great for that, but I also use a lot of
Laneige products.”
Price, she says, is not an issue. “As long as I
can be assured of the quality of the brand, then
I’m happy to spend the money.”
Both Laneige and Hanskin are Korean companies. In China, they are household names – no
doubt due to their connection to South Korea’s
hugely successful pop culture wave, the so-called
hallyu, which drives Seoul’s growing influence
across Asia.
Riding on the Korean soap opera and K-pop
craze, these and other beauty brands from the
Land of the Morning Calm have adopted perfectly-groomed Korean celebrity ambassadors such
as actress Song Hye-kyo, singer Yoona and male
entertainer Kim Hyun-joong to advertise products in China. In the process, they have also taken
a market share away from established Western
players.
“Korean cosmetic companies are shaping
an aspirational idea of beauty through clever,
celeb-centered advertising that really resonates
with the local market,” says Hutchins. “If you
had walked into any department store just a
few years ago, you would have seen lower-end
brands like Olay, Lancôme, Nivea or Pond’s filling
up the shelves. Now, all of them are being pushed
out to make space for high-end Korean products.
The whole retail scene is changing.”
At the end of December, US beauty firm
Revlon announced its pullout from China. One
week later, French giant L’Oreal, the world’s
largest cosmetic company and China market
leader, joined its rival, saying it would halt sales

of its Garnier beauty and hair products in the
Middle Kingdom. According to Euromonitor,
both Procter & Gamble and Avon have also lost
market share in the skincare business in the
six years through 2012.
Most importantly, as product range continues to expand, shoppers are no longer interested in paying premium prices for brands
that are not necessarily the very best in terms
of quality. And while many Western companies
have missed this shift, Korean firms have been
quick to keep up. “I prefer Korean brands,”
says recent graduate Wang Yan. “They are
ahead of the trends and use better technology.
30
May 2014
Whereas Western brands are developed for
Western faces, Korean products are developed
especially for Asian skin tones.”
Showing sensitivity to Asian beauty habits
and an understanding for Mainland consumers’ concerns when it comes to looking their
best, Chinese companies like Herborist or
Inoherb have also found increasing popularity
within the sector – the two firms are the first
and second largest domestic brands in the skin
care segment – often opting for a more expansive approach to beauty that integrates TCM
principles or natural elements. According to
market research company Mintel, this address-
es the wishes of 37 percent of the market. It’s
no surprise home players are doing so well.
In addition to the cultural and historical
ties binding Chinese consumers to TCM-based
remedies, natural alternatives are perceived as
less toxic then their chemically inclined cousins, a winning factor for savvy consumers who
have grown up confronted with a barrage of
product-safety scandals.
“There’s been a tremendous change over
the last three years,” notes Hutchins. “For the
first time in Asia, Europe and America have
had very little influence on beauty. It used to
be all about the West influencing the East…
lead » LIFE & STYLE
now the East is looking up to itself, its own culture, as there’s a fundamental belief that Asian
skin is different from Western skin. Next, the
continent will be telling the rest of the world
about beauty trends.”
China’s beauty market is also molding its
very own traits and identity via online retailers. E-platforms account for 20 percent of all
sales in the country, often selling a wide range
of brands at big discounts – which, again, takes
a toll on foreign rivals.
According to Mintel analyst Chen Wenwen,
the key to long-lasting success lies in the right
balance of online and offline branding. “The
beauty retailing market continues to perform
strongly, but in order to increase expansion,
integrating both online and offline channels
becomes a must,” she says. “Affluent consumers are still longing for memorable in-store
shopping experiences, and that remains essential in the long run.”
Meanwhile, there are even some Asian
products that have been making headway in
the Western beauty world. Having debuted in
both the US and Europe in 2011, BB creams
have seen growth rates of around 30 percent
in the West according to Euromonitor, becoming cult beauty products in the global beauty
landscape.
Face masks – products still relatively niche
abroad but tremendously popular in China
– have also entered the radar of beauty purveyors worldwide. Shortly after announcing
its exit from China, L’Oreal went on to acquire
Magic Holdings International, a Hong Konglisted cosmetics producer and China’s largest
facial-mask company, for US$840 million, saying in its news release “Facial masks are one of
China’s beauty market’s fastest-growing areas,
with very promising development prospects.”
As global consumers discover new interest for the East, BB creams and face masks are
unlikely to be the last Asian cosmetic products
to travel overseas.
At the same time, recent news that China
Food and Drug Administration will loosen its
regulations surrounding animal testing for
cosmetics as of June 2014 is likely going to
stir new interest among a number of beauty
brands previously blocked from the Chinese
market entirely, pushing the sector to increasingly competitive levels.
“Every major player in the industry is
looking to win a bigger slice of China’s beautymarket pie,” says Hutchins. “The country may
not be the most trend-setting in terms of
products yet, but it’s definitely leading when
it comes to customer needs and development.
The Chinese want better products and that’s
driving new retail strategies and marketing
messages from all companies involved – both
Western and Asian. If someone is shaping the
sector in that respect, that’s the Chinese consumer.”

British brand Paul Smith has
been putting a twist on classic schoolboy (and girl) looks
since 1976, branching out
from apparel to shoes, accessories and furniture. As of
last month, the label’s whimsical aesthetic and sharp
tailoring has hit Shanghai
with two stores; a space in
the Kerry Centre – currently
one of the largest Paul Smith
shops in the world – and a
second, smaller boutique in
Grand Gateway 66. Spanning
two floors, the Kerry Centre
shop showcases the whole
Paul Smith range and encapsulates the brand’s playful
essence with a striking facade
of colorful light boxes that
shine both outside the store
and into the interior. In Grand
Gateway 66, customers are
offered a more intimate experience, with a finely curated
selection of Paul Smith’s collections divided across three
rooms boasting oak flooring,
subtle pastel details and ottoman furnishings. Brit cool,
done to perfection.

Playing with graphic silhouettes and clever tailoring,
Twisted Sisters – aka TwS

brand that recently caught
our attention. Torontoraised, Hong Kong-based
founder and designer Maria
Mak is a strong advocate of
simple designs that retain a
hint of grunge while keeping their refined cool. The
label achieves this through
sleek and sophisticated
fabrics – think ultra luxe
wools and silks – rendered
in an array of idiosyncratic
hues and frill-free cuts and
shapes. The spring/summer
collection, titled ‘Don’t Sweat
It,’ displays the full reach
of such light-hearted approach to fashion, with a riot
of layered, clashing, bright
pieces that are versatile and
visually striking. Spanning
jackets, dresses, tops and
rompers (RMB899-1,699), as
well as bold accessories and
clutches (RMB899-939), the
entire line is an eclectic mix
of well-worn, breezy fabrics
and fun separates set to turn

Among the many things Hong
Kong is known for, design
might not be the first thing

the last few years, the mile-aminute metropolis has been
upping its game as creative

scene that’s an eclectic mix of
different cultures and ideas.
Shanghai design aficionados
keen to learn more about it

Trade Development Council
to promote its own design
talents, has opened its first
branch – the ninth in the

in Grand Gateway Mall, the
shop-cum-showroom is a
great insight into our swankier sister’s design creds, offering a slew of items – from
home decor to accessories,

Vans by Kiroic
Since launching in Shanghai
in 2006, high fashion footwear brand Kiroic has stirred
up quite a bit of noise among
the industry’s upper echelons
for its stylized, cutting-edge
sandal/sneaker hybrids, combining Western styles with a
futuristic aesthetic of deconstructed patterns and ergonomics. For the second year
running, the label has teamed
up with American shoe brand
Vans for a rave-worthy collaboration, available at the
ever-so-cool 10 Corso Como.
Blending Rorschach tests
and traditional Chinese inkpainting, the special edition
consists of three colors of
the classic Vans Era styles.
Featuring vibrant patterns
digitally printed onto smooth
leather uppers, each pair of
shoes is balanced with blank
tongues and heels, then accented with light brown trim
and laces. With only 250 pairs
produced, the shoes are a
China-exclusive release, so
you’d better get your hands
on them now. RMB1,080.
The latest collection from
Shanghai queen of crochet,
prints and color Celia B is a
joy for the eyes. Called ‘L’Ete
Indien,’ the line, which spans
dresses, separates and accessories as well as a range
of raffia shoes handmade
in Morocco, offers a bold
departure from winter’s
subdued moods, in terms of
color and pattern – both of
which are exuberant to the
extreme – and also in terms of
silhouette. Balancing graphic,
loud textiles and cat-inspired
motifs (which are always a
winner in our books), garments seem almost made of
brushstrokes, revealing an urgent, primary aesthetic that is
reminiscent of pop art, tribal
looks and vibrant murals one
could find in Mexico City. The
Spanish designer obviously
had a lot of fun putting the
collection together, and looking at each and every item,
it is clear that this is fashion
springing from real life, from
real experiences, with a joyous teenage immediacy.

The Pyongyang
Marathon
Going the distance in the DPRK
By Will Philipps
Will Philipps ends his marathon by running a lap of the Kim Il-sung stadium in front of 50,000 North Korean spectators

travel » LIFE & STYLE
T
here isn’t much demand for flights in and out of North
Korea, but the one I’m on is completely full. It’s carrying some 220 amateur runners – myself included
– who are heading to Pyongyang to take part in the
country’s first marathon open to non-professional racers from
abroad. A handful of elite international athletes are also on
board.
I couldn’t resist the lure of being amongst the first foreign
amateurs to take part in the Pyongyang Marathon – or more
precisely, the 27th Mangyongdae Prize Marathon, named after
the birthplace of the Eternal President Kim Il Sung. It was a
chance to run against the backdrop of one the world’s most
reclusive and idiosyncratic cities, side-by-side with Koreans and
within touching distance of the spectators.
I also can’t deny that I simply wanted to say I’d done something as unusual as run a marathon in the DPRK. As Simon
Cockerell, general manager for Koryo Tours, the company that
arranged my trip, told the Associated Press: “I think a lot of the
attraction is the ‘Pyongyang’ part rather than the ‘marathon’
part.”
Guilty as charged.
Cockerell also told us to expect the unexpected and to be
ready for misinformation and last minute changes. This proves
very much the case as we arrive at the Kim Il Sung Stadium on a
foggy and chilly race day morning and discover the cutoff time
for the full marathon has suddenly been decreased. When I first
signed up I was told it was five hours. Now, I hear it’s 3hr30.
This is cause for concern: my fastest marathon to date is a leisurely 4hr20.
I contemplate dropping down to the half marathon, until
I notice on the race program that the medal and closing ceremony is exactly four hours after the start. I surmise I have just
the right amount of time to finish – something I very much hope
to do. I gaze at all the scrawny, anxious-looking North Korean
kids who are taking part in the 10km and half marathon races. I
decide to go for the full 42 kilometers.
Waiting outside the stadium – the marathon’s start and end
point – the hour before the start of the race is a tense one. Some
runners are stretching; some are posing for photos with local
kids. Eventually, we line up and walk out into the arena to take
our places at the starting line. 50,000 North Korean spectators
are watching.
It’s a surreal experience for us, as I suspect it is for the
audience. In the DPRK, everyone wears some kind of somber
uniform or outfit. Seeing 225 mismatched foreigners parade
around the track in all shapes and sizes of multi-colored running gear must seem quite extraordinary.
As for me, the fact that I’m at the country’s foremost athletics event is simply amazing. Suddenly, the usual pre-race nerves
are buried by excitement.
Lining up side-by-side with local runners at the start of the
race, what strikes me is their antiquated sports kit and flimsylooking running shoes. The contrast to my high-end running
garments, fluorescent trainers and energy gels is almost comical. Despite the affinity I assumed running the 42 kilometers
together might give us, the vast gulf between our two worlds
couldn’t be more pronounced.
After a false start, which causes much laughter in the crowd,
we set off on four laps of the course. We pass imposing monu-

Elite runners speed past the Arch of Triumph in central Pyongyang
ments, like the May Day Stadium,
where the Mass Games take place
in front of more than 100,000
spectators each year. There’s also
the looming Ryugyong Hotel, a
330-meter tall, pyramid-shaped
skyscraper which has been locked
in a perpetual state of construction
since 1987.
There are military compounds teeming with soldiers who crane
their necks to catch a glimpse of the runners. Mostly, though, the city’s
unassuming streets are dotted with grey tower blocks whose only signs
of life or character are a few flowerpots on window ledges.
I have plenty of time to observe the ground level, where people have
turned out in droves to watch us race. While some are smartly dressed
in uniform or military attire, many are just groups of young children,
cackling wildly as I give them high-fives. It’s not quite the carnival atmosphere of, say, the London or Shanghai marathons, but we get smiles
and cheers of encouragement as we
pass.
The North Korean amateur
runners, however, don’t share this
cheery demeanor. I realize they are
here to compete. I wonder whether
a good time at the Mangyongdae
Prize might secure them a place in
a sports team or university? Who
knows how that might affect their futures and those of their families?
Looking at their grimaced expressions as they overtake me, I realize the
pressure they’re under. Suddenly, my four-hour hang-ups seem trivial.
I’m still determined to make it back to the stadium in the allotted
time though. As I enter the fourth and final lap, professional runners are
no longer overtaking me – they’re home and dry by this point.
Everything around is quiet, aside from the patter of my feet –
Pyongyang is not known for its traffic and blaring horns. I get a kick at
these quiet points by shouting out “Annyeong!” (Hi!) to large groups of

Medals are presented to the fastest foreign amateur runners
spectators who have stopped in their tracks to watch me jog past. They
laugh and cheer, galvanizing my efforts to get to the finish.
Four hours have passed and I’m still a kilometer from the stadium.
A huge wave of disappointment washes over me as I realize I might not
make it. A car of officials pulls up alongside me, beckoning at me to enter. I politely decline, and plod on to the stadium, where thankfully the
door is still open.
I bound onto an empty track, unsure if I should even be going clockwise or anticlockwise. 50,000 gazes cast down on me as I slowly jog the
remaining 400 meters with no runners visible in front or behind. As I
raise a hand in acknowledgment, cheers and laughs ring out from sections of the crowd.
A couple of minutes slower and I would have found that stadium
door closed, meaning I wouldn’t have been able to finish. I make it over
the line, the second to last runner to do so. It’s my gold medal moment,
but for 50,000 Koreans, it’s probably just an amusing end to a historic
2014 Mangyongdae Prize Marathon.

our staple for top-notch
pampering at affordable prices, so when we heard that its
original, ten-year-old outpost at the

recently went through a thorough refurbishment, we jumped at the opportunity
to have a look – and spoil ourselves to
a treatment. What we experienced was
the usual outstanding service, in an even

Among the sheer number of services on offer – manicures, waxing, foot
reflexology, you name it – we opted for
a hot stone massage (RMB580/90mins
for full body; RMB380/90mins for foot),
which, we were told, was set to leave our
muscles relaxed, floppy and happy. And,
oh boy, did it.
After being led into one of the dimly
lit rooms in the three-story retreat, our
masseuse began using acupressure and
then hot, silky-smooth, oil-soaked stones
along our muscles, working around our
back and arms before turning us over to
do the front of our body. When applied
to the skin, the heat can feel intense at
times, but it is this effect that makes for
a thoroughly unwinding experience.
As the deep aromas of therapeutic
oil lulled us into the realm of milk and
honey, a lengthy soothing massage accompanying the treatment brought
further bliss upon our tired limbs. The
whole thing just felt incredibly indulgent. Good to know relaxation is just a

Annette Kunigagon, Irish owner of
Eagle Guesthouse, comments on the rising anger among Chiang Mai residents
to the influx of Chinese tourists due
to the popularity of Lost in Thailand,
China’s most successful homegrown
film. Chiang Mai University has started
charging an entrance fee after complaints of tourists pitching tents on
campus, painting ‘we are here’ on
school grounds and – bizarrely enough
– renting out student uniforms and posing for pictures during classes.
Drumroll
Friend or Foe
For four years, Friend or
Foe has injected a dose of
debauchery to Shanghai’s
rock scene with songs
about Japanese love pillows and snorting Clorox.
Self-proclaimed alien and
drummer Mahanadan
gives us a preview of their
upcoming record Deviant
Desires.
How has the band grown
since My Claw is Never
Limp?
We’ve added a lot of gear
and experience. Many of
our songs have evolved to
more complex structures
with many different parts.
We’ve also added a bit of a
theme to the new album,
although it’s not strictly a concept album.
What’s the theme?
Deviant Desires follows an antihero who progresses –
or regresses – along a path of rising to power. He falls
for the wrong girl, gets incarcerated, escapes prison
and finds true love from an unlikely source. We meet
a lot of shady characters who come into close contact
with the main character’s deviant desires. It explores
the cause and effect of those cravings.
What’s planned for the record release party?
We won’t give much away on that because we want
people to be surprised when they are inevitably
drawn to Yuyintang like moths to an incandescent
flame.
SUKI ZHU
The classic Japanese franchise is
given a reboot under the watchful
eye of Monsters director Gareth
Edwards. Aaron Taylor-Johnson
(Kick-Ass) stars as Lieutenant
Ford Brody. He’s haunted by a
disaster that happened 15 years
earlier involving his nuclear
physicist father (Breaking Bad’s
Bryan Cranston in his first major
post-Walter White role) that
resulted in a mysterious evacuation of a Tokyo district. Elizabeth
Olson, Ken Watanabe and Juliette
Binoche co-star, with Andy Serkis
(Gollum in Lord of the Rings, the
ape in Planet of the Apes) putting
in work as the iconic megamonster.
“In order to bring out such strong feelings
in Chiang Mai people, it must be really
bad. Generally, they’re quite tolerant of
foreigners.”
What’s in store for the band after the album release?
We’re doing a bunch of gigs this spring and early
summer. After that, I’m leaving the country and
Friend or Foe will be no more in this format. Look
for a new project from Rabshaka and Bagy coming
sometime in the fall or winter.
Will the album artwork be as eye-popping as
your past two releases?
It will be just as crazy. I will leave you with this image: boob-shaped hills.

East Meets West
Shanghai Restoration Project
Dave Liang and Zhang
BY Zoey Zha
Le
Sun yunfan
Pudong with its
skyscrapers gives
off an image of the
future, Puxi retains
the sense of old
times. That’s what
I’m trying to express
through my music
The colorful Dave Liang
S
hanghai Restoration Project has been
winning raves around the world with
the January release of Classics, an
album comprising of contemporary
remakes of 1930s and 40s Shanghai jazz
standards like ‘By the Suzhou River’ and ‘Paris
of the East.’
The album prominently features vocals by
homegrown jazz singer Zhang Le and is the
13th release by the group. Despite the name,
the project is the brainchild of Kansas-born,
New York native Dave Liang.
“It was about 1997 when I went to
Shanghai and watched a jazz band play at the
Peace Hotel,” he explains. “Though the song
they were playing was vague, I felt really connected to the music. That was when the idea
was planted.”
Shanghai Restoration Project immediately
made waves with their 2006 eponymous
debut. MSN Music picked them as their New
Artist of the Week and the album soared to No.
1 of their Top 100 Electronic Albums Chart.
The album’s mix of Western genres like
hip-hop with traditional Chinese styles featured songs like ‘The Bund,’ ‘Avenue Joffre’
and ‘Pudong New District’ that paid tribute to
Shanghai. Its notoriety quickly spread, landing
on iTune’s Top 5 Electronic Albums chart in
46
May 2014
the UK, Canada and Japan with the producer
picking up a 2010 New York Emmy Award
for New York 360 Angle: Shanghai Restoration
Project.
“In movies like Mission Impossible 3,
Pudong with all its skyscrapers gives off a certain image of the future, whereas Puxi retains
the sense of old times," he says. "That’s what
I’m trying to express through my music.”
The fusion of old and new, East and West,
has proved to be irresistible. Kenzo Parfums, a
division of Louis Vuitton, chose ‘Introduction
(1936)’ as the theme song for its 2007 global
TV advertising campaign, while the group’s
songs have been used by shows like The L
Word, commercials by Dove and included in
compilations by Starbucks.
Their large discography includes fascinating detours like their Abigail Washburn collaboration Afterquake that remixed sounds from
Sichuan a year after the 2008 earthquakes
and 2012’s Little Dragon Tales, which gives
12 classic Chinese children’s songs a modern
twist. The whole project has been a surprising
journey for Liang.
He started learning piano at three years
old under the Suzuki method, but disputes
that technique’s focus on rote understanding.
(“Music to me is more about expressing than
repetition,” he says.) His training at Berklee
School of Music’s high school jazz program reassured him that improvisation was the right
path.
However, he left music behind to attend
Harvard as an Applied Mathematics major.
That provided him a prestigious job with top
consulting firm Bain & Company after graduation.
“I figured that this major would benefit me
signing contracts, but I still composed music
for the Hasty Pudding Theatricals.”
After quitting to focus on music, Liang got
some production gigs with iconic labels like
Motown and Bad Boy. Collaboration has been
key to his career and he has high praise for
Zhang, who was coming off an outstanding
performance in Oscar-winning Chinese composer Tan Dun’s Zen Shaolin Project.
“I met her in New York and she was interested in the idea of doing a modern twist of
classic Chinese jazz songs,” he says. “She has
such a beautiful voice and it works really well
with the music.”
The Mainland will get to hear their take on
Shanghai jazz this May when they embark on a
national tour that includes their May 17 show
at QSW Cultural Center. Expect a multimedia
stage to add impressive visuals to complement
their unique sound that Liang credits to his
upbringing.
“Though I grew up in America, I feel less
connected with the local jazz compared to
China’s,” he says. “My parents, who both grew
up in Taiwan, have influenced me since they
were fans of traditional opera, and I was exposed to all kinds of music when I was little.”

Tortoise's winning ways
Two decades of instrumental rock
BY Andrew Chin
Our sound didn’t
really develop, it kind
of just happened
brought to the group.”
Their sophomore album Millions Now
Living Will Never Die has been named by
Pitchfork, Spin and Rough Guide as one of the
best 100 albums of the 1990s with opening
track ‘Djed’ a fan favorite. Amazing, as it’s
nearly 21 minutes long.
McEntire expresses surprise at that disc’s
longevity. The group performed it in its entirety at the All Tomorrow’s Parties Festival in
2008 and 2010. He concedes, “It’s one of our
best but my favorite is probably Beacons of
Ancestorship.”
The 2009 disc is the group’s latest,
and just their second album in the last ten
years. With each member having multiple
side projects like the Sea and the Cake and
Jim newberry
T
wenty years after releasing their
self-titled debut album, instrumental
rock group Tortoise will be making
their Mainland debut.
“It’s hard to believe it’s been that long,” exclaims drummer and producer John McEntire.
“It’s exciting that the musical landscape contains a whole lot more diversity than it did
twenty years ago but I’m glad we started when
we did. Everything is so saturated right now
that it’s difficult to get yourself heard.”
The thought of Tortoise being ignored
is difficult to fathom. At the height of the
guitar-driven grunge era, the group formed in
Chicago with a unique lineup of three percussionists and two bassists.
Over six albums, they’ve widened the parameters of indie rock and are often credited
as the godfathers of post-rock – a term they
despise.
“Our sound didn’t really develop, it kind
of just happened,” McEntire explains. “A lot of
it had to do with the instrumentation, but also
the chemistry and influences that each of us
Brokeback, McEntire admits, “It’s pretty random how much we get together, especially
since two of the guys live in LA now. We have
to plan things carefully.”
However, fans will be relieved that
Tortoise is currently half-way through recording their latest opus. Meanwhile, the group’s
Mainland fans can expect a show that dips into
their entire discography.
“It’s quite a mixed bag but hopefully it all
flows well enough,” he says. “People always
comment on the switching instruments thing
but we’ve been doing it so long we don’t even
think about it.”

Life. Love. Music.
Cotton Club mainstay Raina’s debut release
BY Andrew Chin
F
or the past two years, six nights
a week, Raina Skar and the Royal
Hombres have commanded the longbeloved Cotton Club stage. But the
show on May 9 will be an extra swinging party,
as it will also mark the release of this Uzbek
singer’s debut album, Life. Love. Music.
“I get goose bumps listening to it because
I’ve been in China for nine years and finally
have something to show for it,” she says.
The sultry songstress originally came
to Shanghai in 2005 as a college student
on summer break. Like so many, she never
left. This album is her homegrown labor
of love. Recorded over three afternoons at
Cotton Club, the band’s core lineup of guitarists Gregory Smith and Eddie Lewis, bassist
Jorland Paulino and drummer Francesco
Pierre was joined by trumpeter Hu Danfeng.
All production and artwork was created by the
close-knit team.
“It’s our first project and we wanted to
do it ourselves,” Skar explains. “We wanted
it to have that home vibe and a live feeling.
Everyone who worked on the album put a little
bit of their soul into it.
“It’s a little more blues-rock with a bit of
funk, but it’s far from commercial music. It’s
very easy to listen to with songs you can relax
Raina and the Royal Hombres
Cotton Club is the
reason I’m still in China.
There’s no pretension.
It’s all about the music
to and songs you can play when you’re getting
ready to go out.”
A rocker at heart who cites Freddie
Mercury as her favorite, Skar admits she only
really began to understand the blues enough
to create it last year.
In fact, the artist wasn’t even exposed to
the music form until 2008, when a band mate
from her popular cabaret performance at the
old Chinatown (now The Pearl) brought her to
a jam session at the venerable club where she
now stars.
“The Cotton Club is the reason I’m still in
China,” she notes. “I like it so much because
there’s no pretension. It’s all about the music.”
Despite being a resident act, each show
Raina and the Royal Hombres puts on is different. No set lists are written out. The audience
serves as their guide. They’ve also garnered
an international reputation. Nine-time Blues
Music Award winner Marcia Ball recently
admitted to being nervous about singing duet
with Skar at last summer’s Lucerne Blues
Festival in Switzerland.
Life. Love. Music is the latest of a slew of
releases from Shanghai’s thriving blues and
jazz scene (see below). Skar says the city provides uniquely fertile grounds for its artists.
“We talk to other musicians at festivals
and they’re shocked we play six nights a
week,” she says. “They say how lucky we are
and we really are.”

Le Noir
Bringing the contemporary circus to China
BY Andrew Chin
Mixing acrobatics with the dark arts
A stylish circus is coming to town
A
fter sell-out seasons in Tokyo
and Singapore, Le Noir makes its
Mainland debut this month, including shows at Shanghai Grand Stage
from May 16-18.
“It’s the greatest and most sought-after act
on earth performing impossible feats of acrobatics incredibly close to the audience,” boasts
creative producer Simon Painter. “The intimate
nature of the stage really sets this show apart.”
The production is part of the nouveau
cirque tradition that developed in France and
Australia in the late 1960s. Animal tricks are
eschewed for acrobatic feats, with productions
incorporating modern theatrical techniques
that either tell a story or explore a theme. In Le
Noir’s case, that’s colors.
“Red, white and black are central to the
show and we wanted to explore the many
meanings of what these colors symbolize,”
Painter explains. “The show starts beautifully
in white and then explosively turns red. It then
explores the mystery of black before coming
together with all three colors at the climax of
the show.”
While Cirque du Soleil remains the standard bearers for the industry with more than
100 million people attending their shows since
their 1984 debut, Painter has been turning
heads with his productions. Le Grand Cirque
smashed Sydney Opera House box office
records, selling over 35,000 tickets in 10 days,
while The Illusionist, a look at magicians with
a steampunk makeover, opens on Broadway
later this year.
For Le Noir, he’s brought together an
all-star cast of twenty performers, including World Acrobat Hall of Fame member
Shenea Booth; David Matz, who studied for
two years under Fujian Acrobatic Troupe’s
Yin Pingzheng; former Dallas Cowboys cheerleader and Pussycat Dolls dancer Ericka Kiehl
Crowd involvement
is central to the
success of the show.
Our terrific comedic
clown MC brings the
crowd to the forefront
of the entertainment
Jenkins and numerous stars of past Cirque du
Soleil shows, including shape spinner Denis
Igantov-Radokhov and identical twin duo trapeze act Sarah and Karine Steben.
“They really are the best acts in the world
and every single one of them has reached the
pinnacle of what they can achieve in the industry,” Painter says.
Anchoring the show is MC Salvador
Salangsang Jr’s French comedic clown character. However, the Hawaiian performer promises that a language gap won’t be an issue.
“It’s really a mix of French and gibberish,”
he laughs. “Through the miming and the actions, people will understand.”
The Texas resident first started as a break
dancer at the NBA’s San Antonio Spurs games
before moving to Las Vegas, working alongside David Cassidy and Tommy Tune as Rick
Springfield’s understudy in the USD80 million
show EFX. During that time, he befriended
Painter, who was inspired to build Le Noir
around Salangsang’s character.
“The crowd involvement is absolutely central to the success of the show,” Painter notes.
“Sal brings the crowd to the forefront of the
entertainment throughout the show.”
“It’s not about people being the butt of
the joke, but making them a part of the show,”
reassures Salangsang, noting that most of the
people that get picked become stars of the
intermission, with other audience members
even asking for photos.
Although attendees may find themselves
temporarily in the spotlight, Le Noir is full of
spectacular feats by the pros. Aerialist Thomas
Worrell (Le Grand Cirque, King Kong: The
Musical) kicks things off showcasing his flexibility inside and around a suspended hoop set.
Other highlights include IgnatovRadokhov spinning a giant cube over the
heads of the first few rows of the audience and
Salangsang blowing a small balloon to seven
feet before climbing inside for a dance.
“The great thing about Le Noir is that it’s
very intimate,” Salangsang adds. “We built a
stage so everyone is around us and a great
compliment we’ve received is that audience
members say they can see the sweat beads
coming down our face.”
It’s going to be a busy year for Le Noir as it
embarks on a world tour that includes stops in

Budi Tek’s Yuz Museum
There’s a lot more to him than chicken feed…

A
s president director of Sierad
Produce, Chinese-Indonesian entrepreneur Budi Tek has amassed a
fortune in the poultry feed and livestock farming game. Over the past decade, he’s
also accumulated one of the world’s most impressive art collections, making Art & Auction’s
Top 10 list of the most influential figures in the
art world.
Six years after building the first Yuz
Museum in Jakarta, he’s opening a second
branch in Shanghai, where he currently resides. Named by The Economist as one of the
five most eagerly anticipated museum openings of 2014, the Yuz Museum Shanghai opens
its doors on May 18.
Could you give us a preview of the Yuz
Museum in Shanghai?
It’s a contemporary art museum and the only
Chinese museum that will exhibit a lot of installation works. The majority of pieces come
from the Yuz Collection of Contemporary Art,
and we’re also expecting some cooperation
with some high profile international museums.
A cafe, restaurant, shop and special exhibition room are located in the glass void space.
I will build a design store and fashion spaces,
but the main purpose is for everything to be
art related.
Why did you decide to open the museum?
Opening a museum is a charitable act, doing
good for society and enriching generations to
come. But it must be sustainable. To do that,
you need to be big. Profits will go to the museum. I can’t subsidize it forever.
You worked with Sou Fujimoto to convert
old airport hangar space into the museum…

installation works.
We used verdant trees and a bright, open
entry hall to form an interplay between old
and new architecture. We also designed a flatroofed glass hall that interacts with the clear
formal characteristics of the old hangar.
Opening a museum is

to come
Why the West Bund?
I’m positive about the future of the West Bund.
I believe these large-scale projects will create
a gentrification effect that will be a great benefit for the whole area.
What are some of the pieces that will be
displayed at the opening exhibition, Myth/
History?
Since I began collecting contemporary art, I
have developed a particular interest in large
installation works. Among them is an installation by Paris-based Algerian conceptual artist
Abel Abdessemed, ‘Telle Mere Tel Fils,’ made
with airplane frames that can be seen at the
opening exhibition. In the future, our exhibitions may vary according to audience interest,
the principles of the curator and international
art trends.
What are your expectations for the Yuz
Musum?
I want to present a museum of international
quality to Shanghai audiences and draw attention from the world to China. The Yuz Museum
is a long-term project and our team will need
to devote a lot of energy to develop the brand.
Funding is not the only impediment to a successful private museum. It’s about programming, staffing, fixing a focus of activities and
developing your museum’s public profile.
How would you describe your art journey?
I began collecting art around 10 years ago,
mainly Chinese contemporary paintings, particularly those from the 1980s and 1990s. My
substantial collection includes works by Ai
Weiwei, Zhang Xiagang and Fang Lijun, as well
as emerging artists.
I gradually expanded my scope to include Western art, adding works by Maurizio
Cattelan, Fred Sandback, Anselm Kiefer and
Adel Abessemed to my collection. I set up the
non-profit Yuz Foundation to promote wider
understanding of contemporary art and artists.
What is it about contemporary art?
We live in the contemporary era, experiencing
every second of it and not immediately feeling
the changes. On the other hand, we see modern art very clearly. In fifty years, later generations will see art of this era very clearly.
Although China is undergoing a museum
boom, it lacks the art history found in
Europe and North America. How can that
change?
We still have a long way to go. I strongly
hope every Chinese person can contribute to
our efforts in molding a better China. In the future, I would like to see more and more people
interested in and embracing art and artists.

Money! Money! Money!
China’s six richest artists
By Andrew Chin
T
he great philosopher Jay-Z is fond of saying, “Men lie, women lie, numbers don’t.” While art is subjective, sales aren’t. As China’s contemporary art matures, many of its leading artists are raking in that filthy lucre. The Hurun Art List released their list of best-selling Chinese
artists alive today based on last year’s sales. Here’s an introduction to the top six who are furthering their country’s art while raking it in.
Kerching!
Zeng Fanzhi
SALES: USD84 million
No Mainland artist had a better year than
Zeng. Last October, he set a new record for
contemporary Asian artwork when ‘The Last
Supper’ sold for USD23.3 million. It was one of
a prodigious 74 pieces that were snatched up
at auctions last year. Remarkable considering
the Wuhan native dropped out of high school
and had his first major sale in 1998 selling
‘Mask Series No 6’ to a visiting American tourist for USD16,000. That piece would be auctioned off a decade later for USD9.7 million.
Huang Yongyu
Fan Zeng
SALES: USD82.7 million
For the fifth straight year, Fan has made
Hurun’s Top 5, including topping the
2011 list. He sold 357 pieces last year
and is revered for exploring traditional
Chinese painting with his fantastic ink
work. His simple style can be traced to
his family lineage – 13 generations of
artists that go all the way back to the
Song Dynasty.
Zhu Dequn
SALES: USD61.5 million
The 94-year-old artist was, along with Wu Guanzhong and
Zao Wou-Ki, part of the Three Musketeers of modernist
Chinese artists who learned Western art in France during the
1950s. He’s praised for his pioneering fusion of traditional
Chinese painting techniques with Western abstract art and
has remained in Hurun’s Top 20 list since 2008. Last year, he
sold 79 pieces, but sadly just passed away on March 26.
He Jiaying
SALES: USD54.8 million
The 90-year-old, self-taught artist was the subject of a major
retrospective at the National Museum of China last summer.
He’s been credited for modernizing Chinese ink art and his
woodcut prints continue to astound. Lately Huang has been
focusing on creating sculpture and he releases a new animal
zodiac sculpture each year.
SALES: USD40.3 million
It’s been a productive year for
the Tianjin Institute of Arts
alumni. His solo exhibition at the
European Museum of Modern
Art (MEAM) in Barcelona last
November was his first on the
continent. He’s fond of painting
modern figures, particularly
female nudes with Chinese ink
wash, creating a unique style
that nods to the past while being
wholly present.
Cui Ruzhuo
SALES: USD35.3 million
The Li Kuchan protégé is known for his innovative riffs on traditional Chinese ink
painting. Expect him to rise on next year’s list as he recently set a new auction record
with the April 7 sale of ‘Landscape in Snow’ that fetched USD23.7 million. However,
in a truly bizarre twist, the painting went missing days after with some suspecting that it may have accidently been thrown in the trash by a clearly non-art loving
cleaner.

A Smartphone Experience
SELF’s experimental blend of film and theater
BY Andrew Chin
I
n past productions No Exit and
Interview, director Michael
Beets introduced multiplatform storytelling to Shanghai
theatre. His latest, SELF, is his most
ambitious yet, incorporating the audience’s smartphones into the show.
“We’re using technology and devices in a way that adds to the story,”
the Australian film director explains.
“We wanted to use a second screen
and having people bring their own
devices makes it a more personal
rather than collective experience.”
Co-written by Beets and fellow East West Theatre cofounder
Christie Shapiro (Masque’rade:
Macabre Tales from Poe), SELF follows the teenage Nataligh over the
course of one night as she forges a
connection with a boy named James,
introduced to her by her best friend
Mia.
She's got the whole world in her hand
The twist is that only Nataligh
appears on stage. She communicates with her friends and parents
through Social, an amalgamation of
WeChat, Skype, Facebook, Instagram
and other social media platforms.
“It’s a coming of age story with
social media,” Shapiro explains. “The
smartphone is a portal to what she’s
doing on stage. It’s basically her device you’re holding in your hand.”
The idea developed last year after Beets was invited to pitch ideas
to the ultra-exclusive Sundance New
Frontier Story Lab. Shapiro laughs
at how the two spent months fleshing out the story over WeChat, and
Beets is quick to note that “this isn’t
a cautionary tale but a traditional
story that just happens to be told on
these devices.”
Audience members are given a link to
download the customized app available for
Android and Apple devices that is preloaded
with material. A backstage technician triggers
content to start and Nataligh provides onstage
cues for the audience to look at their phones.
Some devices will be available for audience
members lacking the appropriate technology.
“This is the first time that we’re doing this
so we’re going to learn from the audience and
hope they give us feedback,” Beets says. “It’s
going to be a super interesting experience that

acter in a room,” she says. “It feels
like how I would naturally speak to
someone on Skype. So I’ll be talking
to someone and the audience will
see their responses on their phone.
“It will be interesting getting
the crowd involved with their
phones because they’re going to be
out anyway. I just hope they have
their damn phones charged.”
This traditional approach to
theater is employed by the rest
of the cast. While Aaron Garcia
(Almost Maine, Rock On Halloween!)
and Cecilia Garcia (Doubt, Holiday
Hitch) will only appear on the audience’s smartphones, the three actors have been rehearsing together.
“It would be really tough to
perform without ever rehearsing
in person,” Aaron Garcia explains.
“The show isn’t about how social
media is dictating our lives, but
how it’s becoming invisible. You
still need that rapport and chemistry between characters.”
As with all things social media,
the public and private lives of the
characters are wildly different.
Fiercely independent Nataligh longs
to be more outgoing like the everpopular Mia, while James strives to
break out of his jock playa persona.
As James and Nataligh’s relationship evolves, they climb the
three layers of communication:
text, voice and then finally video.
The intimate show will have a seating capacity of around 40 and is a
precursor to Beets’ next production at the Shanghai Dramatic Arts
Center in November that will take
the smartphone concept to another
level, with audience members able
to pick a character’s story to follow.
Although SELF’s technical bells and whistles immediately grabs attention, Shapiro is
hopeful that “curiosity brings people in and
that the experience holds them and gets them
talking.”

Celebration of Love
Meet Serbia’s leading ballet troupe
BY Zoey Zha
'Suffering' for love
T
heaters in Shanghai have been
swamped with different versions
of Swan Lake and other classic ballets. However, the Serbian national
Madlenianum Opera & Theater troupe will
breathe some freshness into the dance season with their original contemporary piece
Praznik Ijubavi or Celebration of Love.
Directed and choreographed by Belgradebased dancer Aleksander Ilic, it premiered at
the Madlenianum Opera & Theater in 2011. It
was the first fully financed production by the
city of Belgrade to be staged at the theater,
which was founded by Madlena Zepter in 1998
as the first private opera and theater company
in southeastern Europe. It has become a vital
force in Serbia’s contemporary art scene.
Affairs of the heart are on the show’s
mind, as the ballet interprets the continuous
changing sentiments in the different phases of
love throughout a lifetime in its six scenes. Ilic
drew inspiration from the Teodora Sujic novel
Capsella Bursa Pastoris, turning it into an epic
love poem.
“We experience different loves,” he explains. “Each love has its place in our minds
and hearts. It would be wrong not to celebrate
love between people.”
The child in the show, which represents
the youth of the main character, is one of its
ingenious touches.
“It symbolizes the child within each one of
us, one that is easily forgotten,” Ilic says, “and
a link is created by choosing a child from the
city where the play is performed. This further
helps us cooperate with our hosts, instead of
just arriving and performing on the evening.”
Born in 1977, Ilic started to dance as
a member of the corps de ballet in Nation
Theater, while he remained as a student at
the Lujo Davico secondary musical school in
1998. From classical ballet to contemporary
ballet, this talented dancer interpreted the
whole repertoire and earned his first solo gig
in 2005.
We experience
different loves. Each
love has its place in
our minds and hearts.
It would be wrong
not to celebrate love
between people
Already praised for his dancing technique,
he made an impressive debut as choreographer in 1999 at the Festival of Choreographic
Miniatures, where he won the national competition.
With that success, his reputation was built
and spread. Early commissions included one
for the 100th anniversary of the first Serbian
Classical Ballet. That experience motivated
him to recreate a ballet solely based on the
original musical score of the last century, with
no visuals.
“In this profession, we are cursed – our
bodies and our minds seem to mature at different paces. So if one wants to continue to
understand, develop and study movement,
the only thing to do once we pass the 35-year
mark, is to enter choreography,” he says of his
transition from dancer on stage to his behind
the scenes role.
With Celebration of Love, he’s crafted a
show that’s charmed China. The piece was
feted at the Chinese International Festival of
Young People in Shanghai in 2012 and the
ensemble was invited to tour China at the behest of the Chinese Ministry of Culture. It was
staged last year in Urumuqi and Daqing.
While the show makes its return to
Shanghai, Ilic has other pieces on his mind.
He talks passionately about the upcoming
Contusion Gratis and an unnamed mysterious
project, which he promises will be bigger yet.
However, he’s pleased that the Serbian troupe
will be performing his celebrated piece across
the Mainland with stops in Jinan, Dezhou,
Suzhou and Beijing this month.

Shanghai’s Golden Age
Celebrated by authors Andrew Field and Spencer Dodington
BY Andrew Chin
The halcyon days of Shanghai’s 1920s and ‘30s are en vogue with an explosion of Great Gatsby-themed
parties, speakeasy-style bars and homemade flapper costumes. In their new books, Andrew Field and Spencer
Dodington delve deep into this period, immortalizing two underexplored figures that left an indelible mark on
the city: writer Mu Shiying and architect Paul Veysseyre.
A
lthough Mu and Veyssyre’s contributions reverberate in the look
and culture of Shanghai, the two
couldn’t be more different.
Mu was a literary wunderkind who came
to Shanghai from Ningbo to study at Aurora
College in the 1930s. Stories like ‘Shanghai
Fox-trot’ and ‘The Man Who Was Treated as
a Plaything’ immortalize the city’s cabaret
culture, marking a shift in style and subject
matter in Chinese modernism from the harsh
realism of May 4 literary giants Lu Xun and
Lao She.
“He was a pioneer of exploring cabaret as
it was becoming popular among Chinese in
the city,” says Field. “It was like stepping into
an exotic foreign world for him because it had
nothing to do with Chinese culture.”
Veysseyre, on the other hand, was a family man who spent his weekends dressing up
in his fanciest for shooting expeditions in the
countryside. The French architect’s greatest
gift to Shanghai was spreading his native Art
Deco style with buildings like the Dauphine
Apartments on Jianguo Lu, the Gascogne on
Huaihai Lu and what is now the Okura Garden
Hotel.
“He and his firm [Leonard, Veysseyre &
Kruze] were the most prolific architects in that
period,” Dodington declares. “Between 85-90
percent of his stuff is left because there’s been
a conscious effort of the government to preserve buildings like his fancy Art Deco blocks.”
Over 100 Veysseyre buildings remain in
the city, but little is known about the architect.
His family kept a tight lid on his archives –
rendering him virtually ungoogleable – before
allowing Dodington and co-author Charles
LaGrange to spend two summers at their
French home to prepare Shanghai’s Art Deco
Master.
The 30x30cm coffee-style book is split into
three sections: a Veysseyre biography, detailed
descriptions of his work and a concise history
of the former French Concession.
Although Veysseyre influenced Shanghai’s
unique look, it wasn’t a reciprocal relationship.
“He didn’t even obey feng shui things at first,”
Dodington notes with a laugh. The thoroughly
French architect lived in Shanghai from 1921
to 1937, before decamping to Vietnam for 17
years to contribute to Ho Chi Minh City’s Art
Deco heritage.
It was a better fate than Mu’s, who was
gunned down in a rickshaw on Fujian Lu in
1940 due to his work as a writer in Wang
Jingwei’s puppet regime’s sponsored newspaper, Guomin Ribao.

Andrew Field
The 1920s and 30s
will always be a part
of modern culture
no matter where and
when in the future
Spencer Dodington
Mu’s reputation would be repaired in the
late 1980s as scholars like Yan Jiayan rediscovered and republished his work. Field’s book
Mu Shiying: China’s Lost Modernist is the first
English compilation of Mu’s short stories and
is the latest in the Royal Asiatic Society (RAS)
Monograph series.
“Each of the stories uses nightlife as a
backdrop or centerpiece,” Field explains.
“They’re full of people seeking fulfillment,
erotic or emotional, that’s eluding them. As a
contemporary resident of Shanghai, there’s a
lot of resonance. It’s a very familiar world even
if some of the details have changed.”
The two are unsurprised by the current
sway that this period has over the city. “The
1920s and 30s was such a unique period in
world history,” Fields says, crediting the advent of film and radio for creating “a truly global creative conversation on art, literature and
architecture for the first time.”
“It was also colorful and vibrant,”
Dodington adds. “Today you can choose to
live in a certain way from a certain time. The
1920s and 30s will always be a part of modern culture no matter where and when in the
future.”
// Spencer Dodington will lead two RAS walks around
Veysseyre’s buildings on May 4 and 24. He will give an RAS
lecture on June 3. Andrew Field leads Shanghai Flaneur’s
Shanghai Music & Jazz Scene walk on May 9. For more

Ping Pong Diplomacy
When history is stranger than fiction
BY Aelred Doyle
W
e were worried that
there would be a
lot of ping-pong
before we got to the
diplomacy. No need. Every part
of Nicholas Griffin’s Ping Pong
Diplomacy is “hey-did-you-everknow” material that will have you
continuously stopping to tell your
companion new tidbits you’ve discovered.
There are four intersecting stories here: Ivor Montagu, father of
modern ping-pong; the rise of the
sport; the convulsions of post-1949
China; and the 1971 American
ping-pong team tour of China that
opened the door to Nixon’s historic
visit a few months later.
Why are there no movies
about Montagu? Born into one
of England’s richest families, as
the head of the sport he took
ping-pong from forgotten fad to
international sport – it’s hard to
believe now, but at its peak the best
players were household names
around the world. He codified the
sport when he was only 18, and
ran the International Table Tennis
Federation from 1926 to 1967,
traveling the world to promote it.
He was also a spy for the
Soviet Union. When the Soviets
gave Montagu his role as pingpong boss an award, they mocked
their enemies by using the code
name the Allies already knew
(“Intelligentsia”) in the citation.
Unbelievably, his brother
was extremely high up in British
wartime intelligence this whole time, and
instrumental in the celebrated Operation
Mincemeat, which was crucial to the Allied
invasion of Sicily. Oh, and Montagu also hung
out with Hitchcock and Chaplin while making
movies in Hollywood. Little wonder that his
Wikipedia page has our favorite “Field” section
ever: “Filmmaker, critic, table tennis player,
spy”.
In the early days of new China, table
tennis, along with volleyball, was one of the
sports considered acceptable – sport, like
everything else, was political (plus ça change).
The Japanese dominated the sport briefly;
then China created an elite squad of players,
who trained all day and ate meat while hunger
and fear dominated the country during the
Great Leap Forward.
When Montagu announced the 1961
World Championships would be held in
Beijing, the goal was clear, and the Chinese
team duly triumphed. Nothing was left to
chance and top players from other countries
were sometimes astounded to find themselves
Why are there no
movies about Ivor
Montagu? He took ping
pong from forgotten
fad to international
sport, hung out with
Hitchcock and was a
Soviet spy
competing with an opponent of identical
style – a Chinese player had been tasked to be
a doppelganger in order to help teammates
learn how to defeat him.
Building a stadium (a brick-for-brick copy
of the one in Dortmund where the tournament
had been held two years earlier) and inviting
sportsmen and journalists from all over the
world, this was the biggest showcase for the People’s Republic yet.
But not many years later, the heroic
Chinese champions were humiliated for their achievement during
the Cultural Revolution – and then,
when the wheel turned again, taken
from field work overnight to compete for their country once more.
The iconic Zhuang Zedong later
found himself caught up with the
machinations of the Gang of Four.
Griffin has lots of lovely detail
on the strand that gives the book
its title, the sudden invitation from
the Chinese for the US team to visit
China, for which they chose a longhaired free-thinker called Glenn
Cowan (it’s clear that the ‘accidental’ contact at the Nagoya World
Championships was no such thing).
Things moved almost too fast for
the American diplomatic side to
keep up, and the players were on a
conveyor belt that bemused some,
and which others like Cowan embraced.
He was, in fact, the most unreliable player they could have chosen,
probably smuggling dope onto the
trip and becoming increasingly
melodramatic and egotistical.
The diplomatic event was a
success, and achieved the desired
results; Cowan, however, eventually
died destitute when the brief wave
of renewed ping-pong popularity
in the US crashed. The Americans
were completely outclassed by the
Chinese players, who politely threw
a few matches as part of being
friendly hosts. (Cowan, no diplomat, on realizing this: “F*** you, I’d have won anyway.”)
Even the digressions are fascinating, such
as the determination of the Japanese great
Ichiro Ogimura, or the Hungarian Jew who survived a concentration camp because a guard
recognized him as a world champion at the
door to the gas chamber. There’s also a charming and hilarious account of a point that lasted
over two hours, with one player taunting the
other by calling out chess moves and eating a
cheese baguette as they played.
And did you know that there’s an argument for table tennis being the most cognitively complex sport? This is apparently because,
on top of the regular athletic and tactical skills
demanded of a racket sport, players are close
enough to their opponents to read their facial
expressions as well.
There’s so much in this book that it almost
defies reviewing. It’s carefully researched,
light and somber in turn, and an engrossing
read.

COVER STORY
Let's talk
about sex...
Changing Chinese attitudes
towards boudoir affairs
H
istorically, the Chinese have viewed the world in dualistic terms of yin 阴 and yang 阳, striving to achieve
balance between the two opposing forces. In Taoist
teachings, it was thought that by engaging in sex, men
and women received energy lacking in their own bodies, thus
maintaining equilibrium vital for a long and healthy life.
With such importance placed on copulation, ideology used to
take center stage whenever lovemaking was discussed, and rules
were strict. Manuals – despite racy illustrations – were far from
erotica, but used more as a how-to guide. Strict rules on sexual
behavior were more burdensome to women.
In addition to instructions on position and timing, a premium
was placed on virginity. Women in ancient China were required
to maintain chastity before marriage, as they were in many other
cultures. Any extramarital affair was illegal and would have been
punished in verbal and physical ways.
When the Communist party came into power, the Middle
Kingdom was swept by a new sort of sexual suppression, as fornication without the goal of copulation was considered a form of
Western spiritual pollution and androgyny reigned supreme.
Today, much has changed, and yet the sexual landscape remains complex; a mix of opening up and the stolid hand of conservative Chinese ideals.
According to a 2012 survey by Xiaokang Magazine, more than
71 percent of Chinese have had premarital sex – an increase of 30
percent since 1994. On the other hand, Richard Burger, author of
Behind the Red Door, writes that every year, thousands of women
have surgery to have their hymen replaced for around RMB4,400,
while many more buy cheap artificial ones online.
This month, we explore some of these seeming contradictions by taking a peek at what’s going down between the nation’s
sheets.

the foreplay

We’ve got some heavier stuff coming up in this story, but thought we'd get things going with the light titillation
of strange sex stories from around the country…
Rotten
Jailbait
WePorn
In the attempt to ‘try something different,’
things got a little too egg-citing for one young
couple. They decided to place a peeled, hardboiled egg inside the lady’s vagina. The devil
got stuck and, despite trying to remove it with
chopsticks, a spoon and the practical method
of jumping up and down, things still weren’t
looking to sunny for the poached pair. So, they
scrambled to the hospital to seek egg-sistance.
“Omelet you get this one doc.”
School sex… we mean sux. And kids will use
just about any means possible to get their tail
outta’ there, which is exactly what one did
to delay the start of term. A 17-year-old high
school student in Yibin, Sichuan Province
spread the rumor that his head teacher, Liu
Bin, had been arrested in the crackdown on
brothels in Dongguan, photoshopping the
headmaster’s photo onto footage of the raid
along with his name and that of the school.
The student avoided punishment after reportedly suffering from anxiety and guilt.
We know it and you know it, sex sells. And in
this age of the interwebs, anything goes… or
so you thought. Two would-be-pornstars surnamed Ma and Yang, ‘discovered’ a successful
business using the popular social app WeChat:
sending sexy videos to men for money. And
the more money, the raunchier it got. In two

Eggs in vaginas, jump ropes in penises – all
in the name of pleasure. Is there anything
one won’t try? Doctors in Yinchang, Hubei
Province, leapt to the rescue of a middle-aged
man who was looking to plunge into a new
realm of pleasure toys: the skipping rope.
The one-meter-long play toy, which had to be
removed from the man’s urethra, proved to be
problematic as it had been knotted four times
and simply pulling it out would have led to
serious bleeding.
It’s ironic that the makers of an antivirus software would invite Japanese pornstar Takizawa
Rola to their annual party, but that is exactly
who was welcomed to Qihoo 360 Technology’s
big bash. Following the lead of online clothing
company Vancl, which hosted Sola Aoi in 2012,
it seems the trend to invite these popular AV
performers is gaining pleasurable interest.
Qihoo also gave employees cars worth RMB2
million and another RMB1 million in cash.
They’ll be safe and secure for a while.
Things got steamy at one hot pot restaurant in
the city of Jinan, when they installed two massive naked sculptures of naughty children over

to attract more customers, stirred up quite the
fuss as the babes were mistaken for Buddha’s.
One netizen “burst into tears” when he saw
the sculptures. “How come a nation with a
thousand-year history has so little respect for
its own culture?” he exclaimed. All we have

A day
at the
Sexpo
Good vibrations
for China’s adult
industry
By Marianna Cerini, photos by lauren hogan
T
hey could have called it dildo central. Or
fetish fiesta. Or wobbly dolls wonderland.
The 11th Annual Shanghai Sexpo (official
name China International Adult Toys and
Reproductive Health Exhibition) was an amusing array of all of the above… and more.
Held in Shanghai last month, the three-day event
is currently the largest of its kind in China, having surpassed Guangzhou National Sex Culture Festival (take
that you Cantonese prudes). And it was an impressive showcase of one of the country’s fastest-growing
industries, with 216 exhibitors covering the 12,000
square meters of the International Exhibition Center
and more than 30,000 people in attendance.
The numbers aren’t surprising: from vibrators to
plastic vaginas, China supplies 70 percent of all the world’s
adult toys.
While a large proportion of that is exported abroad,
an increasing slice of the erotic-toy output is purchased
domestically. As of 2010, the industry was worth
a whopping USD2 billion a year. In Shanghai
alone, there are more than 3,000 sex shops and
around 200,000 nationwide.
The commercial opportunities are undeniable, and so is demand. As adult toys become
increasingly familiar to many Chinese, selling
sex props means serious business, both for local
enterprises and foreign brands.
Among the heaps of vendors bringing their
sex gear, weird machines, dubious posters and
inflatable dolls, the ratio of Chinese to international participants at the Sexpo was almost
equally split.
Bright stages, jam-packed stalls and flashy
catwalk shows made for a grand setup that, if
brash, was certainly unashamedly so. The so-called “pleasure objects” are no
longer limited to small stores hidden away in shadowy back streets.

These masks ain’t for the carnival…
This is not to say the entire thing didn’t feel a little seedy.
Among the whips, chains, prosthetic genitals and scantily-clad
girls pimping out the merchandise, most of the visitors were
middle-aged men looking awkward like children without pocket money in a candy shop.
Female attendees were hard to spot. A few performances/
live competitions we witnessed turned rather uncomfortable
as crowds of selfie-obsessed males kept thrusting – quite
literally – towards the MCs (usually young ladies sporting saucy lingerie or some hot cosplay outfit).
The few academic seminars on sex education and
prevention put on by hospitals and organizers were
deserted. It all looked more like a fun fair for the elderly
than a professional, business-driven exhibition.
Undeniably, events like this draw those eager to
shed inhibitions, providing an opportunity to size up
products some might feel too embarrassed to enter roadside sex shops for.
Overall, however, there was little sexiness and a bit
too much odd, geriatric bonding over S&M products, lubricants and aphrodisiac remedies. It rapidly verged on
the unsettling.

definitely helped

The world’s
oldest
profession
Getting the bang knocked from their buck
By S.E. Smith and Monica Liau
B
arber shops and massage parlors
bathe the sidewalks of Shanghai
in their pink-lit glow, indicating to
those in-the-know their true commodity. Manhattans on Nanyang Lu is known
for its ‘Vietnamese takeaways.’ KTV parlors
also come in ‘dirty’ or ‘naughty.’ While on sections of Huashan Lu, dolled-up working girls
idle in the doorways of bars named things like
‘Cats,’ doling out suggestive looks and accosting those who shoot them so much as a furtive
glance.
It is so common a scene as to seem mundane. But discussion of the world’s oldest profession has flared up again recently, due to the
Chinese government’s nationwide crackdown
on prostitution. While raids have happened
on a nearly yearly basis since 1989 – prostitution came roaring back in with Opening Up in
the 80s, after being officially wiped out by the
CCP in 1949 – this current sweep is proving
particularly vehement, and could have longlasting impact.
Back in February, Dongguan became the
60
May 2014
first city on the hit list (a year after Guangdong
Province, in which it lies, became the first
province to legalize erotic massages). Xinhua
News reported that 6,000 police raided nearly
2,000 entertainment venues and detained
more than 900 people – with 10 senior officers suspended from duty or penalized in the
process.
Sixteen cities across nine provinces quickly followed suit. In Guangzhou, police arrested
98 and more than 20 entertainment venues
were closed. In Harbin, 4,800 police officers
checked more than 2,700 venues and confined
27. In Chengdu, 335 were taken in. Closer to
home in Nantong, Jiangsu Province, more than
100 ended up in the clinker.
Under Chinese law, prostitution can result
in detention of 10 to 15 days and a fine of up
to RMB5,000, though lighter offenses can be
cut down to five days’ detention and fines of
up to RMB500.
While this has been touted as a moral
campaign, it has severe consequences for the
bottom line of those at the bottom of the heap.
Current statistics from black market information website Havocscope.com show that
China has five to ten million women working
as sex workers (some approximate more).
They provide the service in an industry valued
at USD73 million - the biggest in the world.
(Second place goes to Spain, which clocks in at
a dwarfed USD26 million.)
This makes up an estimated six to eight
percent of China’s annual GDP. Some RMB50
billion is predicted at stake in lost revenue
from the Dongguan hit alone – as much as 10
percent of the city’s economic activity. And it is
not just the sex workers themselves: taxi drivers have lost commission from brothels; landlords are having a hard time renting out apartments as prostitutes haven’t returned; club
managers and even DJs have been afflicted, as
there are no open party dens to play in.
Arguably even more surprising is that the
crackdown led to the debate over the rights of
prostitutes. It’s a fact that the sex trade doesn’t
just fuel prostitution, but helps give rise to
narcotics, corruption, money laundering and
gang protection and the spread of diseases like
HIV. Not to mention the many women who are
underage and brought into the trade against
their will.
However, some question if it is more sustainable to neutralize the threat by eliminating
or legitimizing it. While the central government has obviously taken up the mantle of the
former as part of their austerity and anti-corruption campaign, Weibo blew up with online
sympathy for the women being arrested and
called for their rights. While laws are unlikely
to change, it is an indication of a divergence
in mentality between the pre and post 80s
generations.
Back in 2009, Insight China magazine
published the results of an online survey that
found 7.9 percent of 3,376 Chinese citizens
considered prostitutes more trustworthy than
politicians. Taking into account recent events,
it’s worth considering what the figure would
be this time around.

Average John
A man who seeks the company of strangers
BY NED KELLY
Without demand there would be
no supply. With that estimated
ten million women working as
prostitutes in an industry valued at
USD73 million in the PRC, demand
would appear to be high. We spoke
to a regular visitor to prostitutes, a
white Westerner in his early 40s,
who wishes to remain anonymous
about his appetites…
Most of the girls that I have ever met –
this was a choice they made. They make
more money and send money home, and
I can’t begrudge them for doing it. If people wanted my body – and they don’t – it
would be an option for me. And I’m sure it
is horrific climbing into bed with me, and
that’s why they get paid well.
Why do you seek prostitutes?
I don’t want to get into a relationship. This
is just a business contract with no feelings
involved. It is about the sex, plain and simple.
Scratching that itch.
Do you see this changing at all?
Nah. It is very much engrained in the business
society here. The same way it was very much
engrained in normal Thai society.
How often do you visit?
It depends on how I’m feeling. It can be once
every two months; it can be three times in a
week.
Do you go to the same woman, or a different one each time?
I switch back and forth. If they are really special, I’ll go back for more. Or get their number
and call them over. But usually I switch it up –
that’s what it is all about.
Do you have certain preferences for looks?
I’m in Asia, I guess you could say I am fully acclimatized.
Do you ever feel guilty? 
As I said, to me it is just business. I pay them –
I pay them well. They do their job, I get done, I
get to go to bed.
Was your first experience with a prostitute
in China or elsewhere?
It was in Thailand. I used to live there. To be
honest, when I first got to Thailand, I was very
against it. And then after living there for a year,
it was so prevalent everywhere and became so
commonplace…
Some of the prostitutes were friends of ours,
as we saw them every day. It became perfectly
normal and perfectly acceptable, because I
was living in Thai culture. I sort of dropped my
puritan beliefs, if you will.
Do you ever think of why the girls do what
they do?
They are actually nice people, and most of
them are doing it because they can make a ton
more money than they could in the jobs they
are qualified for. If you talk to them they are all
like, “Oh yeah, I’m a hairdresser.” Can a hairdresser make USD200 in an hour? No.
Is ordering KTV girls or prostitutes a
part of your business culture?
Somewhat, yeah. With work I have to go
to KTVs. I’ve ended up in hotel rooms
with a girl being like, “I don’t remember
any of this…”
Do you ever feel coerced or peer pressured
into taking a woman with colleagues?
No, no, no, no…
How much do you generally pay for services?
For a while it was RMB600 for short time
and RMB900 if they stayed overnight. But
prices have gone up a bit, and I’m usually so
drunk that I can’t bargain. Once I went into
Manhattans and she said “RMB1,200 to stay
I’ll be out with
someone hitting on
women and I’ll be like
– f*ck this, I don’t feel
like taking the time to
actually… try
over,” and I said, “No, no – RMB1,500!” And she
actually stopped and said, “Are you sure?” And
I was like, “Yeah!” as I thought I was getting a
deal.
Do you chat with the girls?
Yeah, you have to chat with them. You are
doing something very personal with them.
Especially the ones at Manhattans, I just go
over to them and ask what they do, what their
life is like, why they’re here, how long they are
going to be here, are they enjoying themselves.
Normal talk of trying to understand someone.
Are you concerned about your sexual
health?
Yeah. And you go to the doctor and talk to the
doctor. But generally I’ve been very careful.
Nobody wants big green spots on their dick!
Do you ever wonder what your mother
would say if she knew you visited prostitutes?
I don’t have to wonder – she’d be pretty horrified.
Is sex better with prostitutes than with
someone you love?
No. But it’s a hell of a lot easier if you don’t
have to actually involve yourself in it. I’ll be
out with someone hitting on women and I’ll be
like – fuck this, I don’t feel like taking the time
to actually… try. Having loving sex with your
spouse is much, much better. But with prostitutes you also don’t have to pay for dinner. You
don’t pay them for sex, you pay them to leave.
Do you ever think about the drawbacks of
what these girls you visit are doing? 
Sure, there are definitely some who have been
drafted in to it, stolen – stuff like that. And
of course I’m not behind that. There are also
a lot of douchebags out there. Just because I
treat them respectfully because I know they
are people, doesn’t mean most people do. You
know, it’s a very dangerous thing. They are
opening themselves up. It has got to be an
incredibly scary experience. That is one of the
reasons… you asked do I talk to them? Yeah,
I talk to them. I try and be as real as possible
before… doing nasty things.
Do you see a difference between those who
are paid for their services and ones who
are not?
I’m very matter of fact about it. In this realm
I perceive them as women who have sex. But
that is not what I actually think about women.
I just think these girls are doing it as a job. I
don’t think poorly upon all females because of
it. And I don’t think females are sex objects.
I view them as people, but I view them as people at work. I’m a person, and I’m very different when I’m outside of work than when I am
at work. When they are working, they’re a pro.
But it doesn’t mean they’re not people. Some
of them are bitches and some of them are incredibly cool. They are just normal humans.

Ladies of

Personal stories from female prostitutes
by jane kent
Xiaohong, from
Hebei Province, 28
“
My father died when I was three years
old, I don’t have memories of him. He
was in the Chinese navy and he drowned
in an accident. My mother was supported, but I believe her life has been difficult.
I did not like school, I did not pay attention. I saw no purpose then. When I was a
teenager, boys always told me I was pretty and
wanted to talk to me. I got a boyfriend who
was older than me. When I was 16, he made
me pregnant. It made sense to have the baby
at that time. I left school. I wanted to try to be
a family with him. We stayed in a place, nearby
my mother. But he didn’t want to be with us,
he was a bad man. He was too young, liked to
drink, play cards. He came home late at night
after too much to drink and would hit me. I
thought maybe it would stop, but it didn’t.
Many other girls I knew had left to work
in cities; I heard information from a friend and
I went to Guangzhou. My mother supported
me going, because she told me I would need
to have money for my daughter, but also if I
wasn’t there, this man wouldn’t come around,
he did not want to be a father. If I wasn’t there,
we thought maybe he would go away. This was
right, he just left. He has not helped us since,
he is not in our lives.
I was 19 when I first arrived in
Guangzhou. It was easy to get a job in a garment factory. My friend helped me and it was
easy to learn how to use the machines quickly.
I worked there for three months. I hated it,
it was so boring and my salary did not seem
worthwhile. I stayed in a complex with many
other girls like me.
A girl I knew from my hometown told
me about how she had sex with men, and I
went with her to a bar one night. It was not so
difficult, I made much more money than the
factory and I could have fun, dance with my
friend and choose who to go with. At first, I
would say yes to any price a man offered me,
as long as it was at least RMB300. I would try
to go with many men each night. Then I realized I could get more, stick to one price and
that I could say no.
I would only go with someone if it seemed
62
May 2014
easy or if I liked them. If someone was rude or
offered too little, I just said no. I would tell a
man to buy me a drink. I could usually tell during the drink if I would be comfortable with
him, that he was not crazy or a bad person.
Most men are good. They’re not bad people,
just single or away from home or bored or
come from places where they can’t do anything like this. I did prefer foreign men. Overall
they were nicer, would pay more and were fun
to have sex with sometimes, asking me what I
felt or wanted.
How much money I made was very different from month to month. Some nights I could
meet several different men. I also had some
At first, I would say
yes to any price a
man offered me, as
long as it was at least
RMB300. I would try
to go with many men
each night
regular men who would call me every week or
month. The best time was spring, during the
Canton Fair. The worst was always cold winter
nights when people didn’t want to leave their
homes. I could go to the bar for three or four
nights consecutively and it was empty, I would
make nothing.
I did accumulate money; sometimes I
made several thousand in a night. I didn’t do
anything with the money. No long-term plans.
I sent some to my mother and daughter. I
bought clothes frequently. I returned home
every couple of months and always brought
money home for them. I didn’t save as much
as I should have because I love to play mahjong when home. Sometimes, I would lose
RMB12,000 in a weekend. I always thought I
would win it back, but didn’t really.
I was working in Guangzhou for more than
eight years. I didn’t tell my mother what I was
doing; I continued to tell her that I worked in
a factory. I was happy with
what I was doing. I had control over what I decided to do.
I think she did have some idea
because she saw the money
I’d come home with and that
I could take time off when I
wanted to return home.
Last year, my mother and
aunties told me I should try to marry
because I was getting older and I already had a child. It seemed difficult
– impossible to do. I was thinking
this would not happen, unless
possibly with a foreigner. My
mother told me there was a
man who I could meet when
I visited home, a single, older
man who knew I had a daughter, knew my age and was interested in meeting me. She said he
might be agreeable to marrying
me after we got to know each other. I was surprised by this and felt
reluctant and annoyed. I knew that
my mother was looking for someone
to support me long term. She suggested
I meet him. We might get married and I
could move home. I liked the idea of living in
the same place as my daughter, but otherwise
thinking of this made me uncomfortable; it
meant a big change.
I did not answer my mother about this for
a while, but it became unavoidable when I returned home, so I agreed to meet him. He was
a nice man, with a decent income. My mother
encouraged me to spend time with him. We
went out a few times and he said he liked me
so much, he wanted to get married. I had sex
with him after a few weeks and got pregnant.
This man likes me so much, he is so happy,
I think he loves me. I think he is a kind man.
I don’t think I love him, but he is accepting of
me and my daughter and is a good person. I
am not truly excited about this, but I was told
it was a good option many times and I have
agreed to marry him.
This is better for my daughter, I can be
with her now. I also don’t have to worry about
what I will do when I am older. I sometimes
miss the freedom I had in Guangzhou. I did like
meeting people and having my own money.”

How is the work here?
I like to work here, it is easy. I have many,

are real.
Most have fake breasts?
Yes! In Colombia you do this when you are 18.

What do you do with your money?
I send it to my mother and my two children.
I plan to go home every four months. I Skype

Fangling, from
Guangdong
Province, 34
How did you get into this business?
After I finished high school, I needed to work.
One parent died when I was a teenager and
the other one is sick and old. I started to work
as a KTV girl. I hated this work, I would make
RMB300 for a whole night and have drunken
Chinese men touching me. I decided to work
independently.
How much money do you charge?
I will not go with any man for less than
RMB1,000. I am very strict with myself. I go
every night to the bar; I will stay until I find
one man. I usually stay with one man per
night.
That means you could make more than
RMB25,000 a month? What do you do with
the money?
I make more than that because I have a few
regular customers I might see during the
day. Also, I have a boyfriend who comes to
Guangzhou frequently and he pays money
into my bank account every month. I save the
money. I don’t know what I will do with it, but
I know I need to save for when I am old.
Do you have rules about what men you go
Older men are the
best. They have sex
once and fall asleep
with?
No, I will go with anyone if they agree to
RMB1,000 or more. I prefer European men because they will often buy me dinner and they
stay in nice hotels where I can sleep and eat
the buffet. Older men are the best. They have
sex once and fall asleep. I try not to go with
young men, because they want to have sex so
many times all night.
What do you want to do in the future?
Sometimes I think about going to study again.
I did well in school. I wish I could get married.
I don’t care about having a baby. I want to be
in love.
Most of the time I am lonely.

The Birds and the Bees
How China is addressing “the conversation”
By Will Wu and Zoey Zha
“
Where did I come from?” is a common
question asked by kids. In November
2012, the Central China Television news
took to the streets to discover parents’
answers to this burning query. “Picked up off
the streets,” “Discovered in a garbage can,”
“Delivered by the flood,” “Hatched from a
stone like Sun Wukong [the Monkey King]”
and “Found under the bed” were among the
responses.
Such ridiculous answers naturally elicit
peals of laughter, but behind these amusing
replies hide a serious and thought-provoking
fact: family sex education in China is outdated… and can come with serious consequences.
It is a question the country has grappled with
for the past decade. A news report about a
Shanghai teenage girl’s accidental miscarriage
caught the public’s eye in 2003, making the
city painfully aware of the necessity of sex
education for younger generations.
A few months after the incident, the
first Youth Caring Club was organized by
the Shanghai Institute of Planning Technical
Instruction. It ran 4.30-7pm, offering free consultations and contraception advice, concentrating on teens from 10 to 19 years old. The
program received wide media coverage and
doctors were invited to lecture at schools.
“In fact, we helped many kids become
aware of sex and its consequences at first,”
said Hu Xiaoyu, Deputy Director of the institute. “Unfortunately, attention started to dwindle after a while and the club eventually shut
down in 2009.”
In another attempt to provide easily accessible education and support, a hot-line for
accidental teen pregnancy was set up by the
Shanghai Liberation Army’s 411th Hospital in
2005.
However, a survey taken by the same organization in 2012 concluded the topic of safe
sex and sex education was still excluded in 90
percent of households, with more than
80 percent of teenagers aged 12 to
17 turning to the internet for
help when they encounter issues: a source that can give
shoddy advice at best.
“Parents pay far more
attention on study scores
and overlook other factors
like sexual influences when
kids reach puberty,” explains
Yu Dongyan, who is in charge of
the hot-line. “I’ve met several
high school girls who had great
school scores, but got pregnant due to their lacking
knowledge of sex.”
This trend may even
continue into the next

would deal with ‘the birds and the bees.’ Most
of them stated that it is too complicated to
explain to a little kid. Instead, they expected
schools to take the lead in teaching the details
of reproduction. Conservative Chinese parents
just do not want to raise the topic.
It’s an expectation of which the gov-

ernment is aware. In 2008, the Ministry of
Education in China released its ‘Guidelines on
Health Education in Primary and Secondary
Schools,’ requiring different levels of sex education for students in Grade 5 and above.
However, progress in this department has
been sluggish. As China’s educational system
lays great emphasis on grades, non-grade-
related classes are often sacrificed. Despite the
ministry edict, sex education is still listed as
an optional course in many schools across the
country.
Other initiatives have begun popping up to
deal with the issue, though. The Boys and Girls
Zone, launched in Shanghai in 2009, works
to address the sensitive issue by running the
city’s first sex education summer camp. Held
in a community center on Zhaojiabang Lu, this
three-day camp targets kids under 17 years
old and has a full curriculum based on that
most pressing of questions: “Where did I come
from?”
Trainers start with quizzes and games to
help kids understand about themselves physically, and then extend to build their awareness
of self-defense. The camp generally encourages an enrollment of eight to 12 at a time, but
they say many classes are only made up of two
students. The cost, at RMB2,880, is a major
barrier.
For those looking for free help, a Oneminute Sex Education series recently went viral online. The program, created by Nutcracker
Studio, consists of 15 60-second episodes,
each aimed at answering basic sex-related
questions that a child might have. Topics
include how a child is born, how to protect
against molestation, understanding masturbation, homosexuality and the importance of
protected sex.
With cute cartoon sketches and lively narration, the series has been warmly received by
the public and widely shared on China’s major
social media channels, like Weibo and WeChat.
“These videos help me a lot in replying to
my son’s question regarding his birth,” says
Mr Wang, a 32-year-old engineer working in
Guangzhou. “It is not embarrassing at all when
I watch the videos with him.”
More widespread education could not
come soon enough. In a 2013 reproductive health survey conducted by the
National Working Committee on
Children and Women under the
State Council, more than 22 percent
of the country’s 22,000 respondents
between the ages 15 and 24 reported having premarital sex and half of
them took no contraceptive measures.
Notably, 21.3 percent of the females
said they had an unwanted pregnancy and 91 percent of those
sought abortions.
With more than 22 million
adolescents reaching sexual
maturity every year in China,
it seems that proper, timely and
continuous sex education would
be essential for the youth of today.

In this city of rapid globalization, it seemed inevitable that fusion
nibbles would eventually hit the streets of Shanghai. Newly-opened
snack shack Dixie seems to be forging a path on its own, touting odd combinations like peanut butter and banana quesadillas
(RMB23) and Caribbean-style sweet potato fries (RMB25).
But it was the Asian tacos that caught our eye. This is no resemblance to a creation you’ll find in Mexico or the Tex-Mex regions
– oh no. It is all corners of the world packed into one satisfying
creation. A pile of pulled pork – cooked to tender ribbons via pressure cooker – cradled by leaves of crisp romaine lettuce. On top is
a crown of pungent kimchi, tendrils of lightly-vinegared carrots
and purple cabbage. All of this is stuffed handily inside of a flaky, discus-sized paratha (made by a purveyor of
Indian breads). Have we hit all of the continents yet? Folded over, it makes for a generous, (just) hand-holdable treat that proves oddly satisfying. They also have other fillings including marinated tofu and crispy chicken.
Currently only open until 9pm, we could see this being perfect for the late-night munchies. Look for extended
hours once they are fully staffed in the kitchen.

Five Star
Hainanese
Chicken Rice
Bawking up the right tree
BY Jamie Barys, photo by rachel gouk
X
ander Ang loves chicken rice. So deep does this passion run,
that he refuses to delegate any step of the cooking process
to his chefs at Five Star, choosing instead to wake up every
morning before the sun to start the labor-intensive process
himself.
In the dawn light, the Singaporean chef-owner dips the birds into
alternating baths of boiling water and ice – three times each – to seal
in flavor and ensure the slippery skin transforms to alabaster white.
From start to finish, each chicken takes more than an hour, and Ang
works out of a kitchen that barely allows him to stand elbow-to-elbow
with a helping hand, much less blanch in scale-worthy batches.
This is a project of passion – Ang isn’t going to get rich selling only
24 chickens per meal (lunch and dinner) – but one bite of the velvety
meat, drizzled with viscous dark soy sauce, and you’ll be a convert to
the cause. You aren’t the only one though, as you’ll discover when you
join the hungry queue of Shanghai foodies-in-the-know on outdoor
benches set up to accommodate the spillover from the tiny dining
room.
Already, the team has laminated “SOLD OUT” posters at the ready
– one for lunch and one for dinner so they can tell disappointed diners
when they can come back for more chicken. They’ve had cause to put
the signs out almost every night since they opened. On our first visit,
the main event was gone before 8.30pm.
If you slip in before the bell, order big – with soft opening prices,
a whole chicken will run RMB98 (you can get half for RMB68 or quarter for RMB38-48, depending on which part of the bird you choose).
House-made pungent chili-garlic and watery ginger sauces are complimentary and should be applied liberally.
While you’re waiting, grab a plate of kaya toast (RMB15), grilled to
order at a take-out window that makes up half of the storefront. Ang’s
other hometown project, Five Star Kopitiam, has already proved he
has the recipe for this rich coconut jam down pat. We foolishly waited
until one of the 20 seats in the tiny dining room freed up to order our
pandan-and-butter scented sandwich, only to watch as the last slice
was claimed. Lesson learned.
Other Singaporean specialties chalked up on the blackboard are
on par with the excellent chicken. Take advantage of the cucumbers,
which are in season right now. Adorned with fresh chilies, this spicy
cold dish (RMB10) wilts the gourd just enough with a sprinkle of salt
to let nature’s bounty shine through. A dense braised egg (RMB3) is
thick with soy flavor and delightfully pliant. Or, if house made fermented shrimp paste is your thing, sambal kang kong (RMB22) is one of the
funkier versions of this morning glory stir fry we’ve tasted in town.
Our only complaint is that the rice (RMB8), a crucial part of the
Hainan ji experience, is one that needs work here. The bowl of glistening grains lacked the essence of the bird, and Ang admits that finding a
place to fry them in chicken fat in his tiny kitchen has proven a difficult
task. We hope he works it out soon, because everything else we tried
deserves each of the nominal stars.

Fu He Hui
Steps towards enlightenment
By Monica Liau
W
hen faced with lightly scrambled pigeon egg, wreathed in
airy pastry and crowned by
inky slices of truffle, you do not
question its lack of flesh. You are too busy reveling in the sweet, gentle curds enveloped in
their earthy funk – a juxtaposition of simplicity, skill and sumptuous extravagance. It makes
one entertain thoughts that Nirvana may be
just within reach, if we could only raid the
kitchen for another taste.
So goes a meal at Fu He Hui, Chef Tony
Lu’s ode to earth’s bounty. The Shanghai native
is known for refined takes on the sweet, traditional cuisine of his hometown, making a name
with high-end establishments like Fu 1088,
Yongyi Ting at the Mandarin Oriental and Fu
1015 (the latter of which is ranked in San
Pellegrino’s 50 Best Asian Restaurants list).
Here, Lu takes a step back to create something arguably more personal and much riskier – expensive vegetables. Offering two eightcourse tasting menus (RMB380 or RMB680),
his goal is to express the minimalism philosophy of Buddhism in a fine dining setting.
To justify the price point, Lu focuses on
the idea of purity instead of gimmick – which
means, much of what appears on the plates
needs little buffing to prove lustrous. A consommé with logan berries and lotus nuts
boasts unbearable concentration and clarity.
Lily bulbs, gingko nuts, asparagus and elm-ear
mushrooms maintain their individual personalities – bitter, sweet, vegetal, sleek – yet stirfry together swimmingly.
It takes scrupulous instinct to source ingredients such as these. Each snow pea tastes

energy
like a million young pods
laid down their lives. Black
fungus snaps with mysterious energy. The mere suggestion of convoluted
fake meat creations would be a travesty in this
temple.
There are other ways to liken Fu He Hui’s
three-story body to one of worship, sometimes
to its detriment. In the reverently hushed hallways, heels have an emphatic clip-clop way of
punctuating the meal. All parties are cordoned
off in private rooms, where delicate antiques
peek from every corner. Heavy chairs require
one to sit up comically straight and an extralarge table makes dinner for two feel more like
an inquest… or face-off. No music tinkles in
the background. While preferable to canned,
repetitive soundtracks, the silence and lack of
soft surfaces allows voices of, say, a particularly
merry group of businessmen next door seem
painfully close.
Like acolytes, servers are lit with fervor.
Swishing through sliding doors every few moments to check progress, the meal sometimes
feels more recitation than voluntary prayer. No
sooner does the last of an impossibly delicate
taro dumpling disappear, dissolving in lacy flakes and
chuckling with fulvous
pumpkin sauce, than a
stolid Yin-Yang of mountain
yam is plunked down. At
such a hurried clip, we were
well into dessert by the tail
end of an hour and a half,
boiling down to a dish nearly
every 10 minutes. Most offerings are little more than six
bites, but the pace requires a
fine bit of studied eating.
However, our meal still
manages to leave an impression. Lu proves a
chef willing to step outside the box of tradition
and sprinkle his work with world experience
and subtext. Fragrant mushrooms in pastry
evoke a forest floor in both France and Yunnan
Province. Peking duck is given a clever nod in
the form of mighty oyster mushroom slices and
a vitreous layer of shattery tofu skin, wrapped
in pancake. A chestnut napoleon paired with
kumquat sorbet will charm even dessert sophisticates. It is food that speaks to a special
reflection and insight, even if we were hurried
along his journey.

Nice Meeting You
Han Han makes his culinary introductions
By Monica Liau, photos by rachel gouk
S
ince his debut in 2000, the mercurial
Han Han – blogger, author, race car
driver, teenage heartthrob, song writer
and nascent movie producer – has
been lauded as both the voice of his generation and the embodiment of the selfish post80s personality. With the new title ‘restaurant
owner,’ he continues to function just outside
the box.
Nice Meeting You is a bubbly space named
after the famous writer’s most recent book.
Like Han Han’s persona, it is engagingly attractive, relentlessly light hearted and often
confusing – full of feel good vibes that vacillate
between clever and pleasantly vacuous.
Thankfully, the part-time bad boy is nowhere near the kitchen, opting instead for
serious culinary muscle by way of Alan Yu.
The Shanghai-born, US-raised chef has worked
in several illustrious kitchens around the
world, including the original Jean Georges in
New York and Michel Richard’s Citronelle in
Washington, D.C. In Shanghai, he cooked at Le
Plantane and, more recently, 8 ½ Otto e Mezzo
Bombana – an offshoot of the three-Michelin
star original in Hong Kong.
Here, Yu appears to have let his hair down
and it looks a little wild. One gets the sense of
maybe being led on some vaguely madcap adventure, far from the high-falutin’ food of Yu’s
former years. On the menu are beef nachos
(RMB22) and monkfish liver pate (RMB35).
Sous vide eggs (RMB32) and squid ink fried
rice (RMB68). Strip loin (RMB69) and pork
cartilage (RMB22). It is a veritable hodgepodge of things that young Chinese people, after
being exposed to the wider world, may be interested in eating. But the question is, do they
deserve to be served together?
Our jury of taste buds is still in hot debate.

One gets the sense

far from the highfalutin' food of Yu’s
former years
Cold tofu with tomato salsa (RMB18) has a
brash Chinese name that translates to “You’ve
never eaten my tofu” (你没吃过我的豆腐).
Unfortunately, the tremulous white block –
while soft like custard and redolent of sweet,
fresh soy – drowns beneath an overly acidic
topping. It’s true, we’ve not encountered this
combination, but we are unlikely to return
to it. Same goes for Beijing duck quesadillas
(RMB38). We were tired of them when they
came into vogue in the 1990s. They don’t do
well in revival.
Spicy beef tongue tacos (RMB48) are a
surprising winner. Two hard corn shells are
almost invisible beneath a mountain of cool,
shredded lettuce, drizzled with Mexican crema
and queso fresco. At the very bottom are layers
and layers (and layers) of tender meat. While
the zing level is minimal, there is lots of flavor
in the thin, grilled slices. Make me cry babyback ribs (RMB118/half rack, RMB156/full)
are another meaty triumph, slow cooked sous
vide, then finished in the oven and slathered in
a thick, sweet, smoky sauce. The half portion is
generous, plenty for two.
Already, Nice Meeting You is one of the
hottest restaurants in town. In the evenings,
you will have to fight with a crowd of trendy
20-somethings for a table in this lively space.
Thanks to cheerful, efficient service (staff are
required to say “Hello, nice meeting you” upon
each guest’s arrival), big portions and an attractive venue – full of light, blond wood and
high ceilings – Han Han’s latest venture is sure
to be a commercial success.
But despite the bluster (there a manifesto
about loving life on the menu), tongue-incheek dish names and eclectic offerings, Nice
Meeting You is really just a pleasantry. As a
critic once wrote, “Han Han is more careful
and conservative than you think… despite his
fast driving, he is not going to take any risks.”
The same goes for his food. Expect three more
of the same restaurant to open over the next
year.

El Bodegon
Chinese-Peruvian, pisco-soaked paradise
BY Jamie Barys
T
he owners of El Bodegon spent
months searching for the best New
World wines and piscos available in
China. They ended up with almost
two-dozen South American bottles and four
types of pisco on their drink list – that’s got to
be some sort of record for a casual eatery in
Shanghai. And that dogged dedication to native authenticity extends to their menu.
While the sign outside the fourth floor
space says the restaurant is Latin Americaninspired, the food is pure Peruvian, a cuisine
that brings with it a significant Chinese influence. Peru has the largest number of overseas
Chinese in South America, and, like AmericanChinese Fortune Cookie next door, El Bodegon
is trying to riff on the flavors of their diaspora.
A note on the menu explains that lomo
saltado (RMB 120) – soy-sauce shellacked
beef, rice and French fries done messy and
well – is an example of how Chinese immigrants incorporated stir-frying into the national cuisine while adding local ingredients to
make it distinctive.
Another classic Peruvian dish, ojo de bife
anticuchero (RMB190) capitalizes on the
region’s love of good beef and throws in
Chinese tang for good measure. One of
the most tender steaks in town thanks to
a sweet and sour sauce marinade, it’s also
monstrous – bringing even more bang for
the buck.
There’s nothing Chinese about the
ceviches though, and we prefer the clasico
(RMB60) to the Bodegon (RMB70). Both
center on hunks of firm raw sea bass in lime
juice. The fish is kicked up a notch with chili
and spices then tempered by slivers of red
onion, but the house version adds a fistful
of rubbery deep-fried calamari into the mix.
Save the RMB10 and go traditional.
Don’t skip out on dessert. Mousse de
chocolate (RMB 45) is a study in recent
trending flavor combinations. A creamy dark
chocolate disc sprinkled with brisk sea salt
and spicy chili flakes gets added dimension
with a moat of olive oil. Get all four in one bite,
and you win a really amazing dessert.
Finish your meal with another pisco sour
(RMB 50/glass or RMB160/jug) and watch
the Peruvian chef flip woks of beef from the
gleaming open kitchen. You’ll feel transported,
yet somehow right at home.

Footballer foodies score big
By Tongfei Zhang
W
hen four Shanghai female
footballers retired from professional play, they eschewed the
opportunity to become coaches
and decided to open a Sichuan hotpot restaurant together instead.
Acting both as owners and waitresses, the
four versatile players – Ding Beili, Huang Luna,
Ji Ting and Sun Ling (the latter two played for
the national team, the former for the official
city team) – run back and forth in sportswear
everyday from early morning to midnight.
They say they do this because they want to
spend their new-found freedom on something
they enjoyed. “We’re all foodies!” they merrily
proclaim.
Housed at the corner of Xikang and
Anyuan Lu, a clean design sees a large glass
window and a dozen square tables scattered
about the two floors. There are also fun reminders of the owners’ unique career paths.
A glass display cabinet at the entrance shows
off medals and trophies that the ladies have
earned. There are also subtle football elements
almost everywhere – worn polo shirts on
walls, sports towels knotted on staircases and
a picture wall that stands testament to career
highlights.
When we were seated, Ding Beili – midfielder – came to ask what kind of soup we
prefer (white soup/spicy soup/both flavored,

menu, so the next thing you do
is toddle over to the food pickup zone and select whatever
looks tasty from large refrigerators.
Most of the ingredients – like mushrooms,
sweet potato slices, broccoli florets, sausages,
chicken wings and rice cakes – are strung together on bamboo skewers (RMB1/skewer),
as the store name suggests (chuanchuan xiang
is a Sichuanese specialty that combines the
beauty of hot pot with shaokao). We were
rather impressed at the diversity and freshness of the offerings – almost every vegetable
you could possibly crave can be found here, no
exaggeration.
Discover more options at another counter,
where pricier plates are held. Round ones
(RMB8) are filled with starches like noodles
and pumpkin slices, white ones (RMB18) have
plain meatballs while pink ones (RMB28)
are covered in things like cheese balls and
sea urchin. The most high-end offerings are
the green plates (RMB38), which boasts
seafood like fresh shrimp or Ang
sticklebacks.
When you finish deciding what
to eat amongst the bounty, it’s time
to let them bubble in the pot and savor your discoveries. Spicy but not
greasy, fragrant without an overwhelming burn, the food comes out
imbued in an authentic and surprisingly delicious Chengdu flavor.
Sauces are prepared to order (RMB7/person).
To mix your own, feel free to add more garlic
or oyster sauce from the sauce station. Fancy
something to drink? We recommend the
Chengdu-style soy milk (RMB8/bottle). Sweet
and refreshing, it’s the best way to quench that
delectable spiciness. As we left the team with
our compliments, we saw happy smiles on the
former footballers’ faces. After all, what could
be more satisfying than the roar of a diner’s
approval?

Bang
Mr. Willis makes some new noise
By Monica Liau
C
raig Willis has long enticed Shanghai diners with his particular
brand of reliable rustic fare, presiding over a mini-restaurant
empire that spans upscale attic dining (Mr. Willis), homey
Mediterranean offerings (Henkes) and lots of middle-of-theroad spots between (Auto Bistro). His newest restaurant, Bang, proves
the most inspired opening we’ve seen from him recently, a tranquil gastronomic oasis tucked into the surreal whizz-bang ruckus of the IAPM
mall.
The sprawling space, split into a cafe and dining area, exudes laidback charm with spackled walls the calming shade of concrete. Lighting
is kept that comfortable step above candlelight. A pizza bar turns out
thin-crusted pies (RMB85-118) that pull a page from La Strada, another
Willis venture. Clouds of steam and the clink of cookware trickle out from
another open kitchen, as the busy team turns out straightforward classics
skewed towards Italy, gussied up with a good dose of seasonal flair.
This is food both recognizable and exciting. Fat tubes of rigatoni
(RMB68) hang on handily to a tomato sauce, given mature depth with
red wine. Smoky strips of pancetta impart the bowl with wood fire heft
while bursts of raisins balance the evening haze with rays of summer
sweetness. Another homey classic from the Land of the Boot is pork and
beef meatballs, made so they are soft, form-holding and meaty. It makes
welcome marriage with more of that happy tomato ragu and a brick of
golden fried polenta (RMB138), its crisp exterior giving way to a creamy
pudding-like inside. Pair with a glass of excellent Red Bucket Shiraz. It’s
well worth the RMB70.
While perfectly adept for sit-down dinners, Bang will woo with the
smaller sharing dishes. If disappointment was served in a wan spinach salad, topped with undeniably canned artichoke hearts and white
beans (RMB68), joy was re-instilled ten-fold by house-smoked salmon
(RMB85). Thick slices come vital and lucent, seducing with silky ocean
notes enhanced by both quality flesh and marinade. It needs no more
than a minor dressing of fresh dill and lemon, plus papyrus-thin slivers
of fresh fennel bulb to be elevated into sublime regions. Golden-fried
squid, prawns and chunks of brusque, briny softshell crab (RMB88) are
lightly battered, made all the better by a pesto trapanese dipping sauce.
The roughly ground mixture of toasted almonds, basil and tomatoes is
the perfect, if non-traditional, pairing. It also goes well solo, eaten with
spoons.
It is these details that prove Willis has once again upped his own
game, bringing charm and feature to a distinctly commercial space. Grab
a table in the corner or outside on their expansive balcony when the
glare of commercial lights begin to shine too bright. Bang will remind you
of the more visceral of life’s great pleasures.
Connecting families to Shanghai.

MAYITA
Mexican beauty
Watch out chili cook-off
competitors, this could be an
award-winning contender
BY LAUREN HOGAN
T
he only thing we could love more than drinking tamarindflavored frozen margaritas at Maya would be drinking them
outside, where rays of sunshine turn them into goblets
of golden elixir. Well, raise your shots of tequila to those
powerful Mesoamericans and rejoice – our beloved master of gourmet Mexican cuisine has birthed a baby, Mayita, and this infant child
boasts one of the top al fresco spots in Shanghai.
Taking over the former Fat Olive’s prime patio space at Silver
Court, purple has been traded in for palm trees. Livening up the
scene with turquoise tables and burnt sienna cushioned banquets,
the sixth floor deck – which seats 80 and provides a view straight to
Pudong – will be inviting to anyone looking for fun in the sun.
Head Chef Kenny from Maya works his same magic into the
menu. About half of the items can be found at the older location,
while the rest – including several margaritas (RMB68-100) – are first
timers. Soft corn tacos (RMB25-28) and quesadillas (RMB42-52),
like a new one filled with bacon and blue cheese, arrive quickly and
are easy starters to share. Another is a ceviche platter (RMB110),
piled high with scallop and mango, chipotle prawns with lime coconut and chili tuna.
Garlic prawn tostaditas (RMB68) are served three to a set, each
crowned with a dollop of mango salsa and tamarind – a nice blend of
spicy and sweet over the thoroughly enjoyable crunch of the crispy
chip base. Black bean chili (RMB65) is exceptional, a smooth medley
of roast pork, black beans and spices. Watch out chili cook-off competitors, this could be an award-winning contender. Offering just the
right amount of burn, those who can’t handle the heat will still do
okay, just be sure to ask for extra chips for dipping.
Slow cooked beef rib (RMB235) eventually arrives – perhaps a
bit ambitious for our overstuffed stomachs as that aforementioned
chili was just too good to leave behind. The meat, slow-cooked for 20
hours, is tender and comes pre-sliced, laid on top of the bone with
soft, lime-crushed baby potatoes plus tomatillo and guarillo chili
salsa.
For dessert, dig into the cheesecake (RMB65), which is complimented by a scoop of chocolate pistachio ice cream. The cake is complemented by a homemade biscuit base and 74% cocoa chocolate
topping, inside you’ll discover a surprise of thick chocolate cream.
Along with cream cheese the cake itself has a hint of goats cheese
mixed in, a combination that works fantastically together, creating a
rich and bold blend of sweet and savory.
Service is surprisingly spot on for such a young venue – it’s clear
they’ve been in this business a while. Once a few bits are ironed out,
expect to see brunch and lunch sets.
On the third day of its soft opening (a Thursday) the restaurant
had already seated 60 for dinner by 7pm – a note not only to its
strong following, but also that you’ll need to make reservations in
the near future. Due to the small size of the kitchen, parties of five or
more can only order dishes tapas-style. That shouldn’t be an issue –
once you see what’s on offer, we suspect you’ll be more than willing
to follow the motto: sharing is caring – especially when it comes to
matters of the stomach.

Formosa
A fitting tribute
By Monica Liau
W
hen speaking of Taiwan, one
of the first things to inevitably
blurt from our lips is, “Ah, the
food there is amazing.” For such
a tiny landmass, it takes up a huge section of
our stomach cravings for things savory and
delicious.
But finding fitting renditions of even those
simplest of dishes in Shanghai generally forces
us to venture out into Minhang or Jinqiao. For
those who need a fix closer to the city center,
Formosa (whose Chinese name translates
roughly to “good eating is here,” 食在就好) is
a good stand-in, bringing to mind some of the
better lunch places you might find in Taipei.
The parent company has a branch by the
same name in Century Park, but their newer,
smaller spot focuses on hearty bread and butter offerings – specifically set meals of rice and
noodles. While relatively straightforward fare,
Formosa has a Taiwanese cook in the kitchen
and it shows. One can always test a chef’s attention through the iconic dish lurou fan (金牌
鲁肉饭, RMB28/set, RMB15/single). Here it is
excellent, the fatty pork belly braised at great
lengths in a scented gravy, redolent of earthy
shiitake mushrooms, cinnamon and five spice.
Where Formosa really sets itself apart is
value for money. Not only is the meat and rice
combination heartening and delicious, it also
comes paired with soup and heaps of cooked
and/or pickled vegetables, which change daily.
If you find yourself craving more, get an extra
order of homemade pickled cabbage (黄金泡
菜, RMB12), which straddles that most appealing line of crisp and wilted, flecked with chili
and sweetened by the fermented tones of red
sugar.
As for famous hongshao noodles, our order – topped with half meat and half tendon (
金牌半肉半筋面, RMB38)– saw brawny bites
of meat long cooked until tender and aromatic.
Thin noodles are pliant and pleasantly chewy.
If only the broth could have held up to those
other ingredients – our bowl was filled to the
brim with dark soup that proved insipid on the
tongue.
There are not many dishes on the menu,
but of them a steamed meat pancake (糊化
枝丸, RMB36) is particularly exquisite. The
ground pork comes studded with bursts of
crisp long bean and imbued with the subtle
fragrance of sesame oil. It also holds that difficult meatball balance, maintaining its shape
without falling onto either side of rubberiness
or mush. The dish aptly sums up the tone of
Formosa, where homestyle offerings meet
an understated charm. Workers in the area
should be prepared to fall under its alluring
spell.

Tiger Cafe &
Bakery
Hu’s the boss
T
ucked down a tumbledown lane
north of the Cloud Nine shopping
mall, this cafe – just steps from
Zhongshan Park – is an ideal nook in
which to spend a quiet afternoon.
Named after the owner Zhu Xiaohu – who
has ‘hu,’ the character for tiger in his name –
this space is anything but aggressive. The spacious split-level space is lit by fixtures made
from old water pipes and the walls are hung
with often stunning original works of photog-
raphy and paintings, all created by friends of
Zhu. All together, it exudes a post-industrial,
creative style and artistic ambiance.
In addition to Italian coffees (RMB18-35),
the Tiger menu also focuses on more unusual
single-origin products including Mandheling
(RMB40), Yirgacheffe (RMB35) and Yemen
Mocha (RMB68). Overwhelmed by the choices,
we went with the owner’s suggestion – a handbrewed cup of Guatemala Sat Rosalia (RMB45)
– and were impressed. Offering a rich aroma,
the flavor palette is a little tart with subtle fruit
undertones, well rounded and mellow.
Food offerings are relatively simple compared to the drink list. Many of the dishes are
vegetarian, including an avocado sandwich
(RMB48) and slices of toast studded with spicy
vegetables (RMB28).
For those with higher ambitions, Tiger
Café also plays host to a series of photography
seminars, cartoonist courses and coffee classes,
making this a great spot for both learning and
pleasure. TFZ

Vinyl Ganesh is a café meeting
ground where those whose tastes
run towards chunky spectacles,
ironic t-shirts and an abhorrence of mp3s can
comfortably mingle with devotees of high-end
coffee beans.
As the name suggests, this small, highceilinged space of four tables and clean lines
stocks their wooden shelves with records and
two machines take turns spinning out tunes.
During one rotation, you may be lulled by
mellifluous Simon & Garfunkel harmonies,
the next buffeted by Bob Dylan’s nasal poetry.
There are ups and downs with Mingus, Monk
or Miles Davis, and the potential for a powerup courtesy of Depeche Mode. If the music
isn’t to your taste, customers are encouraged
to peruse the options and make soundtrack
requests.
Opposite the vinyl, specialty coffee implements – siphons, double burners and longnosed pots – line the walls like chemistry
equipment, and cups of Joe involve singleorigin beans from around the world, roasted
to order by a group in Suzhou. This means
offerings are boutique and pricey. A cup of

ucked away in a deep, green lane
on Yuyuan Lu, this casual café – as
its name, which literally translates
to ‘looking for,’ suggests – is not so
easy to find. But the search is worthwhile.
Owner Asher Robbie, a Hong Kong-born
New Zealander, has collaborated with his
dad and Coin Qian (a Shanghainese artist
and designer) to meld the coffee culture of
New Zealand with a bit of Eastern flair.
Venture in and you’ll find a vintage
space that borders on museum-like, decorated with beautiful paintings of Shanghai
ladies, antique typewriters and sewing machines, as well as stylish bags and cushions.
There are many comfy nooks around in
which to settle, including a cozy sofa by the
fireplace, comfortable chairs by the window,
or in the lovely courtyard outside. The short
menu of coffees range RMB25-56. Affogato
(RMB56) sees espresso served with your
choice of New Zealand ice cream while traditional pies (RMB50) of mince and cheese
are savory, tasty treats.
The unique homemade Xunmi Ni

owner, this specialty served in a mini glass
comes with layers of dark chocolate, milk,
espresso and foam. Stir all of the layers
together for a lavish, bittersweet drink that

Brotherly bickering aside, it’s a real crowd
pleaser and always one of the first items to sell
out without fail. It’s also delicious, incredibly
simple to prepare and – as the name would
suggest – marries the best-friend flavors of banana and toffee. I like to add roughly chopped
almonds and dark chocolate to the recipe,
which have a great affinity with the other ingredients and also help add satisfying crunch
to the overall experience.
When boiling the condensed milk, it’s important to keep the tin covered with water at
all times. If you don’t, there’s a risk that the tin
will explode and coat literally every imaginable surface of your kitchen in toffee sauce!
 
Recipe
serves 8
• 220 grams digestive biscuits, crushed
• 100 grams butter
• 75 grams almonds
• 100 grams dark chocolate, roughly chopped
• 1 tin of condensed milk
• 3 bananas, sliced
• 300 milliliters whipping cream
To make the toffee sauce, place the unopened
tin of condensed milk in a saucepan and cover
with cold water to completely submerge the
tin. Slowly bring the water to a boil, then cover
with a lid and reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Cook for two hours, adding more water as
necessary, then carefully remove the tin from
the water and leave to cool completely.
Lightly toast the almonds by scattering
them onto a baking tray and cooking in a preheated oven for a few minutes set to 160ºC.
Watch carefully, as they will burn quickly. Allow
to cool before roughly chopping.
Add butter to a large saucepan and place
over a gentle heat. Once melted, add the
crushed digestive biscuits and half the almonds. Mix to combine and then pour into a
greased nine-inch easy-release cake tin. Use
the back of a spoon to press down and create a
firm base.
Melt half of the chocolate in the microwave,
and brush the mixture evenly over the biscuit
base.
 Place sliced bananas over the surface of
the base, followed by contents of the cooled
tin of condensed milk. Whip the cream to soft
peaks until just stiff, and then spread on top
of the pie, followed by the remaining almonds
and chocolate. Refrigerate until ready to eat.

Dinner and a show
Urban Aphrodite plays with your food
by Emily Wetzki
T
heater company Urban Aphrodite
has been tucked into the third
floor of Sasha’s for over a year now,
breathing new life into the cozy attic
space. It is an alliance that has proven a winwin for both parties. The bar enjoys a steady
influx of theater-goers thirsty during intermission and Urban Aphrodite now has a home,
not to mention an abundance of curious audience members, who have learnt about their
productions through the popular restaurant
and bar.
Ambitious and daring, founder and creative director Ann James is now descending a
flight in an effort to transform the quiet second floor of the building into a bustling site
for Shanghai’s first ever dinner theater production, Five Course Love. She anticipates the
musical will be the jewel in the crown of their
2013-2014 season.
“I love being the resident theater company
at Sasha’s and I wanted to find a way to draw
people to the second floor of the restaurant,”
she explains. “The second floor is gorgeous,
but it is definitely under-used. I kept noticing that our patrons would pass by an almost
empty or nearly empty restaurant on their
way up to our space on the third floor.”

Diners are taken on a
barmy journey, with
stops in a Mafiosoengulfed Italian
restaurant and a
German eatery with
S&M qualities
ous Broadway success to boot, the deliciously
over-the-top musical comedy is about five
calamitous dates in five different restaurants.
James says the show marks a new step for
Urban Aphrodite and staging it in a restaurant
feels like a natural progression.
“I think locals and expats are looking for
something exciting to do that involves a whole
night of entertainment and dining. It is a special night out because people will be able to be
spoiled a little but without too much financial
outlay. We want our guests to feel like they are
a part of something new, fresh and exciting for
Shanghai…”
The show stars some of Shanghai’s best
amateur actors and, although they have been
able to study the script well in advance, it will
still be a demanding run. Currently rehearsing
three nights a week, they must become accustomed to rotating roles and very short (15-30
second) costume changes. The writing is witty
and fast-paced, the music challenging.
Julia Carey, a newcomer to the city and
graduate of the esteemed Tisch School of Arts
in New York City, will take on the weighty
female roles, while JP Lopez (Frankenfurter in
East-West Theater’s Rock On Halloween!) also
features. Deji Odunlami, a real-life epicurean
sausage maker behind Bad Boy Bangers, will
also be taking the stage in a supporting role.
Your theatrical journey will start in a
Texas barbeque joint, where a dating service
has made a huge, hilarious mistake. Diners are
then brought along a barmy journey, making
stops by a Mafioso-engulfed Italian restaurant,
a German eatery with S&M qualities and the
mountains of Mexico. The last scene will leave
you on a deliciously high note, translated
through the magic of romantic novels – but is
this enough to ensure success for this new dining and theatre match?
While the idea sets to further strengthen
the partnership between Urban Aphrodite and
Sasha’s, might there be a danger of distraction
for the audience? A glass of wine whilst watching a show seems commonplace, but could the
addition of food, cutlery and plates serve as a
bridge too far for the more traditional theater
goer? Ann doesn’t think so.
“As a traditional theatre piece with no
audience participation, I don’t think there will
be any pitfalls to adding food and drink to the
experience. It will hopefully dovetail right into
the audience having a holistic evening of entertainment”
Plus, diners get their fill from the buffet
before the play really gets started. The menu
is a collaboration between Ann James and
Sasha’s Chef Derrick Bruce. Get set for a selection from each of the play’s highlighted themes
in buffet format: Italian, German and Mexican
delicacies, plus Texas barbeque. During intermission, desserts will be served en masse
to include some American diner favorites in
upscale form. Guests will also enjoy a welcome
glass of Prosecco and complimentary tea and
coffee.

S
porting killer sideburns and the deep
lung capacity of a particularly melodious elephant, Tim ‘E’ Hendry embodies Elvis Presley to an uncanny degree
– before drugs set in and after the svelte lines
of youth wore away. Struck by the spirit of ‘The
King’ from a young age, this crooning Canadian
quit his part-time work as a computer technician in 2003 and quickly made a name for
himself on the circuit. To date, Hendry has
performed more than 700 concerts and was
crowned ‘2013 King of the World Elvis Tribute
Artist’ among 100 contestants at the championship in Memphis, Tennessee. This month,
Hendry (and his pelvis) shimmy onto The
Pearl stage for Shanghai’s first official Elvis
tribute concert, accompanied by a group of
local artists. We caught up with this musicianfanatic ahead of his May 29 show to discuss sequined jumpsuits, alter egos and the greatness
of rock’n’roll…
Before stepping into the spotlight, how do
you get into character?
After putting on the makeup and doing my
hair, I like to be alone to mentally prepare to
pay tribute to Elvis. Not an easy thing to do to
portray such greatness. I will warm up singing
some songs… gospel or the hits. I’ll also practice curling my lip… haha, I’m just kidding.
We are not Elvis.
There will never be
another Elvis Presley
How many white sequenced outfits do
you own?
I own a few casual Elvis outfits – specifically
the leather ‘68 comeback suit and eight jumpsuits… with two more coming soon.
If you could meet the real Elvis during one
year of his life, what year would it be and
what would you ask him?
I would love to have met him in 1970 when he
was back performing live and killing it in Vegas.
I would ask to play drums for him… haha, no. I
would ask him so many questions. I would definitely try to help him stay healthy and do everything I could to help him stay that way. I, as well
as the rest of the world, miss him very much.
Does it take a lot of energy pretending to be
someone else all day?
It does take a lot of energy, but I don’t pretend
to be Elvis all day long… only on stage. Off stage,
I am Tim, because one thing we always preach
is that we tribute artists are just that – tribute
artists. We are not Elvis. There will never be
another Elvis Presley.
What’s the best and worst part about being Elvis?
There are only good parts… but if I were to
pick one bad one, it would be that non fans or
misinformed people make fun of you and bug
ya because you look like him. I don’t wear a wig,
so I always have my side burns and hair. Even
when I wear a hat they call me Elvis…

life of Elvis.
His giving nature is one of my favorites for sure.
He helped out so many people in need through
his whole life. I also loved how he could take a
song and make it his own and in my opinion,
always made the song better. He was an incredible musician and performer, had such natural
charisma.
How many times have you been to
Graceland?
Six so far. I’ll be returning again this August for
Elvis Week.
If Elvis were alive today, what would he say
to you?
That’s tough. I am not sure what he would say…
I hope he would say that I am doing a good job.
I know he would say to always pursue your
talents and do what you love – which is exactly
what I am doing now.
Do you think Elvis has the same appeal in
China as he does in much of the rest of the
world?
I am not sure, to be honest, but I am gonna do
my very best to make sure that Elvis fans in
China remember and are excited and happy to
see my show. I hope to make them lifelong fans
of Elvis Presley. I am very excited to be coming to Shanghai. I promise to give you guys the
show of a lifetime!

n five years, DJ BL3ND went from an
unknown handing out homemade
mixes outside of LA clubs to ruling the
Internet. His high-energy videos and
eye-popping (terrifying) mask has made
an impression with more than 200 million
YouTube views, 20 million music downloads
and 3.2 million Facebook fans. He’s topped
the Billboard Uncharted charts a record 62
weeks and he’s built up a global following.
Classic cocktails like a mojito
start at RMB80, but really it’s a bottle
service kind of place. Tables start at
RMB5,000 and stretch up to 15,000 for
the most exclusive spot – which literally rises on hydraulics above the night
crowd, in sync with the pulsating beats.
Linx prides itself on these technological bells and whistles. Resident DJs
play from an elevated moving stage
towering over a dance floor, booming
out tunes on a fantastic sound system.
Flashing screens and beams of
light create an impressive mix of visuals, and waiters sport metallic gloves to
match their mesh tank tops and leather skirts.
Kanye approves.
The membership card club has plans to
expand into Hangzhou, Beijing and Hong Kong.
While it’s more of a place to be seen rather
than to boogie, Linx offers a unique opportunity to glam with the city’s glitziest. AC

On his mask…
It’s something I had in my closet when I
started making videos. Over the years I
started changing the look and am currently
getting a whole new mask. It will be BL3ND
2.0 and the same style. It is a challenge
sometimes wearing it because sometimes
I don’t have 100 percent vision. But I don’t
plan on ever unmasking because BL3ND is
who he is, not the guy behind the mask.
On haters and Diplo…
I don’t mind haters. I just keep doing what I
do and don’t pay attention to the negativity.
Things are cool between Diplo and I [the
DJs got into a kerfuffle last year]. We finally
met when we played the same festival in
December and took a picture together.
On playing Shanghai…
Shanghai, I’m excited to party with you. I
hope you’re ready and I want to see you go
insane when I am there raging with you. It
will be a fun, wild, energetic night.

ENGLAND’S CARLTON PALMER
New Director of Sports at Wellington College
BY Joseph McGee
F
ollowing a five-year stint in Dubai working as a football coach, TV
pundit and sports academy founder, former Premier League and
England international midfielder Carlton Palmer will bring his
expertise to Shanghai in the summer of 2014, when he undertakes
the role of Director of Sports at Wellington College in Shanghai.
Firmly rooted in the traditions and values of its British founder school,
Wellington aims to excel in all areas, from academia to sport, leading to the
savvy appointment of Palmer, who played for ten league clubs over a 25year career, scored for the England national team and went on to manage
two teams after retiring as a professional player.
But despite the former international’s hefty credentials, Palmer says he
had never considered working in education before he was approached by
Repton School in Dubai.
“It wasn’t something that crossed my mind until David Cook at Repton
broached the subject. It never entered my mind to coach kids,” he says, adding that nurturing the development of young players is a hugely rewarding
process.
No surprise, given that the Carlton Palmer Football Academy in the UAE
has seen two of its boys sign for Notts County, and several other players
receive scholarships to America. Successes Palmer is keen to replicate in
China by making Wellington’s state-of-the-art sporting facilities available to
the public.

We’ve got a blank canvas here
to start something really special.
Not just in the school, but in the
community
“We’ve got a blank canvas here to start something really special,” he
says. “Not just in the school, but in the community.”
Palmer has come a long way from cheering on West Bromwich Albion
on the terraces at the Hawthorns as a boy. Yet even with 18 caps for
England’s national team, including the European Championships in 1992,
Palmer says getting signed by West Brom remains his career highlight.
“I never thought when I was watching the likes of Bryan Robson that I’d
not only play for the club, but that I’d get to play with those players as well,”
he remembers.
Palmer played his first professional match for his boyhood heroes in
1984, during an era when black footballers were still very much a minority
on the field. The acceptance of black players in English football was spearheaded by West Brom; Laurie Cunningham, Brendon Batson and Cyrille
Regis played for the club in the late
1970s, the first time a top-flight club
had regularly fielded three black
players.
They rose above racist chants
and abuse from rival fans by demonstrating their raw talent and
ability. Palmer says he was inspired
by those who paved the way before
him “not necessarily because they
were black players, but because
I really wanted to play football …
But obviously with them being
successful, it makes it easier for
you.”
And it did. Palmer reached the FA Cup final twice, once in
1993 with Sheffield Wednesday and again in 1996 with Leeds United.
“There’s no answer to success,” he says of how he responded to detractors early in his career. It’s an ethos he hopes will inspire the next generation
he mentors in Shanghai.
“If you’re good enough, it doesn’t matter what color or what race you are,
you can achieve.”

LET’S TALK ABOUT SEX
ON SECOND THOUGHTS, I’LL LET DOCTOR WIFE FIELD IT…
By Trevor Marshallsea
P
hew! Now that you’ve got to me this
month you will have read a lot about
sex – or, as we fathers of girls like to
call it, “smut” and “filth.” Or simply:
“sin.”
Time for a breather, as you read the Tiger
Father’s latest on parenty wholesomeness?
Not likely. As a columnist on children, it has
fallen to me to address the issue of kids and,
roughly speaking, where they came from.
“Australia” is my favorite answer when
mine ask me. So is “Wait til your mother gets
home.” She’s a doctor. She knows about this
sort of thing.
No, I’m not that repressed. But nor are
we these ‘modern parents’ who espouse letting kids watch their conceivers show how
it was done. God, perish the thought. Then
again, thinking back to the first few years of
parenthood, when sexual frequency goes quite
naturally and ridiculously down, you’d take
anything you could get and wouldn’t care who
was in the room. It could be your own parents.
But I shouldn’t go on, or our house might be a
bit silent for the next few days.
Although, if I did want to go on, I might
say my wife should have known better. Doctor
Wife assured me there was no way we’d conceive again so soon after our first arrived. Our
kids are now eight and seven. You do the math.
Parenthood does bring unique feelings.
When else can you boast and bemoan at the
same time?
“We got pregnant the first time after our
first child was born!” I told a male relative recently. “So did we!” he said. I thought this was
a groovy coincidence but then I remembered –
when his wife started this low growling sound
– that their kids are 12 and five.
The good news is you can look back and
laugh. Parenthood and sex might for a long
time seem as mutually exclusive as parenthood and sleep, or parenthood and romance.
But, believe me, it gets better.
If it doesn’t, well at least your kids make you
laugh – ironically, no more sharply than on the
subject of sex.
When our eldest, Lani, was six, she knew
babies came out of hospitals, but wanted more
details. I thought I explained well which bits
went where, until Lani recoiled in horror.
“A man and woman have to do that?!”
“Yup!”
“In the nude?!”
“Preferably.”
“In front of all those people at the hospital?!”
Things have moved on since then. This
column recently revealed the third grader’s
idea of sex – in which a man “puts his penis in
the lady’s vagina” and, despite this presumably
being a normal man without super powers,
“stays there for about an hour and then takes
it out.”
86
May 2014
Still, for Lani and sister Evie, the concept
of sex remains similar to how Middle Ages
seafarers considered the edge of the earth –
mysterious but definitely gross.
“Lani!” I overheard Evie say while eavesdropping recently, “there’s a thing called ‘striptease.’ It’s where a woman takes off her clothes
in front of all these men!”
Lani gasped. But there was more.
“And there’s a job where you can do this
too!” Evie said.
More complexities have arisen, such as a
“We got pregnant the
first time after our
first child was born!”
I told a male relative
recently. “So did we!”
he said. Their kids are
12 and five…
question about sex with relatives.
“No you can’t, because the baby would
come out in-bred,” explained Doctor Mummy.
Evie’s face bent in half.
“It comes out wrapped in bread?!” she said
of this bouncing baby baguette.
“No,” said Mummy, “I mean if relatives
make a baby its genes will be weak.”
Now Evie’s head came off. “It’s a baby,
wrapped in bread, wearing jeans?”
With their mother a doctor, sex has been
discussed openly and maturely, with not much
giggling allowed. Whilst this has been hard for
me, harder still was that we even had to use
real names for things. I thought we’d just call
them “things.”
When I was eight, our Catholic school split
the third-grade boys and girls for a “special
talk.” Certain kids had been getting lewd in the
bike shed.
“Today,” winced Brother Kevin, “I want to
talk to you about your penises.”
All 60 of us stared blankly ahead, or
turned to our neighbor to say “Our what?!”
“You know! Your penises!” Brother Kevin
ploughed on. We didn’t know. At all. Finally
he stooped to slang, and we all got it. He
then went on to make his point, which was
completely lost, as we were by then too busy
giggling.
Four years later, a traveling sex education
show came to town. Mum ordered Dad to take
me. And that he did… to within about 200
meters of the venue, where he concluded we
would never get a parking spot and promptly
returned us home. There he faced the wrath of
my mother. Brave man, actually.
My education finally came in fifth grade.
Ordered to the back of class as punishment for
something, I landed beside the ‘S’ edition of an
encyclopedia. I turned to the most-thumbed
part of the book and – oh my! I entered a brave
– and gobsmacking – new world of strange
words. And actions.
No need for such furtiveness these days.
Thank God. Think of all the laughs my folks
missed.

Long in the tooth?
How to Prevent Aging of the Mouth
by dr. Sandy Tang
A
s we get older our teeth and gums
inevitably age too. Symptoms of
aging include darkening of teeth,
receding gums and sensitivity to
cold foods and liquids. Because this happens
gradually, the signs are often missed before
it’s too late. However, the health of your mouth
depends on taking preventive measures to
minimize the effects of aging.
Mechanical wear and tear
Bruxism is a common condition that causes severe wear and tear on the teeth due to
grinding and clenching of the jaw. This makes
the teeth more susceptible to fractures and
wearing a night guard while sleeping is recommended. People who suffer from bruxism
should also avoid biting down on very hard or
pitted foods such as bones and ice cubes.
Acid erosion
Acid from a variety of foods can eat away
at the enamel on the surface of teeth, creating
tiny pits that promote tooth decay. To reduce
acid erosion, go easy on sugary foods, especially carbonated soft drinks and sports drinks,
and avoid snacking frequently. Brushing and
flossing your teeth at least twice a day will
reduce bacteria build-up in your mouth. You
should also see your dentist every six months
for a regular checkup and removal of oral bacteria reservoirs – tartar and dental plaque.
Gums and supporting tissue
So teeth are strong enough to withstand
the force required from chewing, healthy gums
and bone should cover the neck – where the
crown meets the root – and whole root of
each tooth. There are two major contributing
factors for the breakdown of the supporting
tissue around your teeth: chronic infection
caused by bacteria and excessive levels of
force.
For the former, removing dental plaque is
the most effective way to eliminate bacterial
infection. For the latter, wearing corrective
braces aligns the upper and lower teeth to fit
properly, so biting force is evenly distributed
among all the teeth. This coordination helps
the teeth protect each other over the long
term.
Straight teeth
Your teeth are constantly shifting upward
and forward as you age. Brushing and flossing
to clean recesses between crooked teeth is
not always successful, resulting in the buildup
of tartar and bacteria that cause cavities and
gum disease. The most effective solution is to
straighten your teeth with corrective braces
as early in life as possible, but it is never too
late to start the treatment. For those who have
already had braces, don’t forget to wear a retainer at night to keep your pearly whites in
perfect alignment.

United Family Hospital and Clinics.

GUIDO ESPOSITO
Celebrating eight years of Bella Napoli
Guido Esposito, owner and founder of much-beloved bastion of Italian cuisine Bella
Napoli, celebrates eight years on the scene this month with an extravagant contest (see
p69). Here, we talk to the effusive Naples native about his origin story, practical jokes
and pizza.
So, nine years, congratulations! Why did you first come to Shanghai?
Well, I arrived in Beijing in 2000 and stayed there for two years working as hotel manager for the Great Wall Sheraton. I then transferred to Shanghai for the opening of
the Westin, where I became the first Italian restaurant manager in the hotel. I stayed
there another two and a half years, and then moved to the Regent first as an Assistant
Director, and then as Business Director of Events for Shanghai. It was quite different. I
was managing the budget of the customer.
How did you get into restaurants?
I realized when I arrived in Shanghai that there weren’t many Italian restaurants – aside
from the ones in hotels, but they weren’t original or authentic. This was 2002. Turns
out, at heart I’m also a chef… even though this isn’t my background, I’m often in the
front of the house and I cook for my friends all the time. I really love to cook, to get the
real Italian taste. So that’s what I found out, that in Shanghai, there is really something
missing. Real, authentic Italian was missing. So I opened the first Bella Napoli in 2006. It
was small, and very traditional. After three years, I opened a second one on Changle Lu
so I could make pizza.
So you saw an empty market and had a dream of making Italian pizza. How is
business going?
It’s getting better of course, but at first it was a little challenging. We opened this
branch [on Nanhui Lu] a year ago, and I’m quite happy. It’s not too far from Xikang Lu
[now closed], and we’re still getting a crowd because there are a lot of offices around.
Plus, we have lots of new customers for lunch. We were lucky to find this beautiful
place. Of course, before, it used to be a Chinese restaurant, but I opened it up. I made
it lighter and installed a glass roof. It’s like we’re outside. I fixed up some windows and
a balcony, and I always joke to my customers and tell them, please be quiet, otherwise
my neighbors will complain. Sometimes, guests believe me, and they go “oh really?
shhhh.”
Is it difficult to find the right ingredients for your dishes?
No, no. Now you can find everything. Of course, you don’t have as much of a choice.
For example mozzarella, you only have a few brands. We don’t have it like they do in
Italy, where you can choose from many kinds. We ensure products are good quality
from Italy: extra virgin olive oil, mozzarella and other raw ingredients. They make a
difference. Our customers are very happy because when they come here they see the
same thing that they might see back home.
Is your family involved in the restaurant?
Yes, my wife is involved and busy here every day. Then there are my kids, who are six
and three. We all live here, and that’s one of my motivations, to have my family behind
me. I work hard for them.

Shanghai Science Hall JE
Traditional Beijing duck in Shanghai
Housed in the oldest French mansion in town, the history of Shanghai Science Hall
JE can be traced back to the beginning of the last century and is steeped in heritage.
Renovated last year back to its former glory, the hallowed halls may seem an incongrous place to enjoy that most delicious of traditional Beijing specialties, roast duck.
Lauded for its crispy skin, delicate taste and plump appearance, this fair fowl must be
cooked under precise conditions to ensure the perfect succulent bite. Chefs at Science
Mansion JE have perfected the technique. By roasting the bird in a furnace with carefully controlled heat, you end up with meat that is impossibly juicy, covered in light
crispy skin. The duck (RMB268)is served with a sweet sauce of sesame oil, sugar and
other seasonings. To complement the meat, you can also order a host of side dishes
(RMB8) like shredded scallions and cucumber as well as homemade pancakes (RMB20/
basket). A limited number of ducks are available every day, so be sure to reserve yours
in advance to enjoy in this uniquely calm atmosphere, lush atmosphere. EW

Giving brunch a lift
In the latest of worthwhile brunches to hit the Bund, deCanto has launched an afternoon Italian meal that will have you falling in amore. This meal (RMB258/adult,
RMB128/child) gets things started with a glass of prosecco, wine or a soft drink before
diners are encouraged to check out a bottomless buffet of antipasti dishes, including
several chilled salads, sliced cold cuts, cheeses and freshly-baked breads. Then it’s on to
a main course. Will you choose a classic pizza from the over covered in grilled vegetables? Perhaps you’re more in the mood to celebrate the warm weather with a light red
snapper over chartreuse fava bean puree or a spring roasted chicken with baked potatoes. For those with larger appetites, try a hearty slice of Australian beef, fried Milanese
style over a bed of arugula and cherry tomatoes. End the meal with mixed desserts
for a weekend afternoon that’s sure to please. They have a fantastic outdoor deck, so
when the sun shines be sure to reserve a seat outside.
// 4/F, 6 Zhongshan Dong Yi Lu, by Guangdong Lu 中山东一路6号4楼, 近广东路 (6346

win!
We have two brunches to give away! Send an email to [email protected]
with the subject ‘deCanto’ by May 15 telling us about your favorite Italian dish for

Minyuan 33 is a boutique hotel that

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.

Blowing the whistle on dodgy officials
BY IAN WALKER
T
he first time I thought something was
up was during my first season coaching Shanghai Shenhua back in 2012 as
we approached the end of the season.
We were playing away to a local rival. It was
2-2, and their two were both penalties. Both
dubious at best. Something just wasn’t right.
Either the referee was really bad, or he was
corrupt. Because to me, it was blatant.
I was peeved off to be honest. You work
hard all week to win the game, and then it gets
taken away just like that. You feel powerless –
there is absolutely nothing you can do. Why the
hell are we bothering when things like this can
happen?
After that, there was probably another
three or four games that season where you felt
things weren’t right. Mainly penalties. We had
a lot of penalties against us. Sometimes you
think it could have been a penalty, but a lot of
the time there is simply no way. Somebody’s
just slipped over in the box and the ref has
given a it. No one has touched the player.
The funny thing is, one year later we returned to this same local rival: we drew 2-2;
they got two penalties; both were dodgy. No
way! Things cannot happen this way. It just felt
ridiculous. It just can’t carry on like this. It’s
crazy.
It is telling that I first observed it late in my
first season. In a team meeting, one of my fellow coaches had warned us it was imperative
we avoiding being in the relegation dogfight
once we approached the run-in: “When the
season gets to 10 games to go, there’s certain
teams at the bottom of the league who will all
of a sudden start getting results.”
Maybe they’ve just got little alliances.
Maybe someone owes them a favor – we’ll
let you win in the cup for three points in the
league. Sure enough, that is exactly what
120
May 2014
started happening; teams that had been getting
beaten week-in-week-out suddenly hammering
a top four team 4-1. (I could name names…)
It went in our favor at Shenhua once, too.
The league was tight: a couple of wins could
have put us top four; a couple of defeats and
relegation would be a very real prospect. We
weren’t playing well and everyone was getting
a bit nervous. And then all of a sudden there
was a tussle in the box and the referee gave us
a penalty.
Maybe they’ve just got
little alliances. Maybe
someone owes a
favor – we’ll let you
win in the cup for
three points in the
league
Even for your team you think that is a bit
soft. A bit dodgy. So anyway, we score, we end
up winning the game, and we’re safe. You’re
still not 100 percent sure, but it doesn’t sit
well. You certainly don’t want to win that way.
This was when Didier Drogba and Nicolas
Anelka were in the team, and they were both
shocked by it. You can see the opposition foreign players’ reactions to it too. They look at
you and you’re like, “Yeah, I know.” It’s impossible. When it happens against you… you can’t
really console them. It can really devastate a
few of the players.
It is weird when you come from playing
in the English Premier League where you like
to think everything is straight. I never got the
feeling ever that anything was fixed.
That is not to say it doesn’t happen in
Europe. My only experience of it was when I
was with Bolton playing in the group stages
of the Europa League. We had leveled 1-1
with Seville, a result that would take us both
through, and their coach ran round the back of
our dugout to our coach gesticulating, not particularly subtly, that we should both settle for
the draw – no more goals.
Our coach would never allow that to happen, that is not the English mindset, which is
why I think people like our league. But also it
wasn’t the referee, it wasn’t the players, it was
just their coach. And it was strange to us. I’m
happy to say the same goes for the club I’m at
now, Shanghai East Asia. The manager is old
school, straight up, and he won’t have any of it.
Wherever we end up, he does everything honestly. It’s probably the best way.
As for how engrained it is, I can’t say. You
just never know what forces are behind the
whole thing. It could be people being bunged
envelopes for a quick, corrupt cash fix. But
then you look at places like Malaysia and their
infamous betting syndicates and you hear
stories about some heavy people behind it. We
can only speculate at the full story.
I just hope the CFA continues to do what
they can to clamp down on it – they’ve even
put people in prison, so they’re certainly addressing it. Because ultimately, if the game is
fixed, why play?

Walker played for Tottenham Hotspur, Leicester City
and Bolton Wanderers. He is now goalkeeper coach
