Editor's Note
Once upon a time, extreme
sports were the domain of a
brave few and the requirements
to embrace them were fairly
simple: courage – or a screw
loose – the right equipment
and the quest for that adrenaline rush that makes you break
boundaries and maybe a few
bones in the process.
Well that is no more. These days,
activities like skateboarding and
freerunning have become almost
commonplace, and fully entered
the urban landscape of most metropolises, Shanghai included.
So we went out to talk with the
people taking to the city as if it
were their own playground area.
Turns out they aren't just cool
kids, but serious athletes making
great leaps forward (see what we
did there?) for action sports in
the PRC. Curious to know more?
Turn to p52 and get on board for
some serious action.
Elsewhere in the magazine, we
chat with founder of Tantan, aka
'Chinese Tinder,' to find out what
makes people match these days
(spoiler: your profile pics, shockingly) on p12, and take a trip
down memory lane on p16 with
a woman that's been collecting
discarded old photos throughout
Shanghai.

WATER
CHAMPIONS
Huangpu cocktail
We’re #1!
Every year, a group of research organizations compiles a list of the most desirable cities for expatriates in China – and
for 2015, Shanghai nailed it. Position
numero uno, and for the third time.
Beijing came in at number two, followed
by Shenzhen, Tianjin and a smattering
of other urban locales throughout the
country. The rankings are based on a
number of factors, ranging from infrastructure quality to the number of foreign restaurants. The principle category
that Shanghai needs to improve to continue its status as #1 is “environment,”
but we bet you could have guessed that.
SALTS
STUCK
Bath bomb
Subway troubles
We’ve heard of people having
crazed thoughts after getting
involved in bath salts, but this
probably isn’t what they meant.
Last month, a Shanghai man got
angry at a local bath house after
they charged him RMB10 for
(real, non-narcotic) bath salts
– a price the man found to be
outrageous. He called in a bomb
threat, and was soon detained by
police. We imagine he has now
lost a bit more than RMB10.
560 unfortunate subway goers
were trapped aboard a Line 2
train last month after an electrical fault left them stuck in
a tunnel. Emergency workers
were able to get the passengers off the train and above
ground, but it took six hours
(and many, many delayed
commuters) before normal service was restored to Line 2. The train
got stranded at 11.30am – while the 560 passengers were surely not
thrilled, at least it wasn’t during rush hour.
The folks at Bluewater (the
water-cleaning sister company
of Blueair, the air purifiers) are
really confident in the capabilities of their new water purifier.
So much so, in fact, that they held
a press conference in Shanghai
last month where a company
rep drank the unthinkable –
Huangpu river water. We attended the conference and watched
the whole thing go down – a pipe
full of Huangpu shui, run through
the company’s latest purifier –
and he drank a brimming glass
without so much as a grimace.
That’s one powerful purifier.
METRO
Disney line
BRITS
M&S shutdown
8
Famed British retailer Marks
and Spencer plans to shut the
doors for good on five of its
Shanghai stores by August,
spelling bad news for anglophile shoppers in the city.
The company cited poor sales
performance in many of its
Mainland locations as a reason
for the scale-back. But fear not
– the city’s main M&S establishment on Nanjing Xi Lu will
remain open, and will even get
some renovations in the coming fall.
Testing has begun on Shanghai’s
latest subway expansion, the
Disney Line. An expansion of
the Line 11 metro, the new line
reaches about nine kilometers
beyond the pre-existing 11
route, stopping at Xiuyan Lu,
Kangxin Lu and, eventually,
Disney itself. The Disney Station
will be a unique one, sporting a
lake, trees and shrubs. The subway line should open by the end
of this year, and will be ready for
Disney’s grand opening in 2016.

Restroom round-up
Jean-Francois Jupille
DON’T YOU KNOW WHO I AM?
Baymax
The star of Disney’s smash hit
Big Hero 6 is more than just a
comically bulbous animated
character: He is a delicious, sesame-filled tangyuan, according to
many Chinese internet users.
Baymax, known by his
Chinese name “Dabai” (Big
White) bears a striking resemblance to tangyuan and yuanxiao, the glutinous rice balls eaten
during Lantern Festival. When
this year’s celebrations rolled
around last month, ‘Big White’
went viral.
Whether filled with sweet
sesame paste or little bits of
meat and veg, Baymax was the
undisputed icon of this year’s
Lantern Festival. His eye-mouth
combo could be spotted in many
a (Photoshopped, we hope) bowl
of festival snacks.
Considering he also won
the Academy Award for ‘Best
Animated Feature’ in February,
we can safely say that 2015 is
going extremely well for this
portly animated tangyuan.

QUOTE OF THE MONTH
With millions of downloads, the
Didi Lashi app has gone completely viral. Does it flag cabs?
Message your friends? No, this
one does something even more
important – it finds the closest,
cleanest toilet. Public restrooms
abound, but so do private establishments. Does your apartment
have a particularly swanky bathroom with WiFi? You can list it
on the app, along with a modest
fee for its use – this is the Uber
Black of toilets, and we bet it’s
going to be huge.
RANDOM NUMBER
“The quality is great,
and it’s so sexy!”
6 billion
That’s the Taobao review left by a woman who purchased this particularly shocking dress, only to find that she didn’t look quite like the model online when she wore it. She seemed to love her RMB39 duds anyways, although when she took photos donning her new wares, internet
commenters were not as enthusiastic. One helpfully suggested that it
may look a bit sexier “if you don’t wear the pink slippers.” Perhaps.
That’s the grand RMB total spent
by Chinese tourists to Japan during the Spring Festival holiday,
with a tremendous amount going to buy… toilet seats. Japan
is on the cutting edge of toilet
seat development, with stunning
futuristic options like heating,
built-in bidet and even music
(to cover up any embarrassing
sounds). This “RMB6 billion”
figure was all over the headlines
last month after Chinese media
criticized the toilet-seeking
shoppers for failing to support
China’s domestic industry – although they probably didn’t hear
it over their toilet’s tunes.

FAKES
Shanzhai Sphinx
Last spring, workers in Hebei Province had to dismantle an epic fullscale replica of the Sphinx after Egyptian authorities complained to
UNESCO that China was manufacturing fakes of its cultural heritage.
Well, the folks in Anhui never got the memo, and they’ve gone ahead
and built themselves a Sphinx as well. This mammoth monument,
lovingly referred to in Chinese as the “lion-body-human-face statue”
may not be long for this world if Egypt catches on. Book your tickets
to Chuzhou, Anhui, before this Wonder of the World (ish) becomes
history.
AWESOME
Batcave
Holy hospitality, Batman! Taiwan’s Eden Motel has unveiled a spectacularly decked-out Batman suite, utterly overflowing with Dark
Knight paraphernalia. Exposed ‘Batcave’ walls? Check. Huge mural
of Gotham City? Got it. Giant velvet Bat-cushion behind the bed?
Of course. This motel is the perfect place for a caped crusader to
get a solid night’s sleep. Alas, we don’t believe it comes with a valet
Batmobile, but that’s probably asking too much.

ulations,
tch
g 'Tinder' to China
I
’m waiting anxiously, alone in a restaurant. My date is now 20 minutes late. I
would try to call her, but I don’t have her
number. In fact, I know very little about her,
save for a few essentials like her age, what
she looks like and her star sign. Oh, and – like
me – she also uses the dating app Tantan.
The app has been dubbed ‘the Chinese
Tinder.’ For those who don’t know (people
in steady relationships, most likely) mobile
dating apps like Tinder allow you to scroll
through profiles of potential dates in your
area and then judge, based on little more
than a few photos, whether you ‘like’ or ‘dislike’ the person (read: ‘would’ or ‘wouldn’t’).
If you ‘like’ a fellow user and they ‘like’
you – congratulations, you’re ‘matched’ and
can now exchange instant messages and,
presumably, let one thing lead to another.
Shallow and superficial? Some certainly
think so. But that hasn’t stopped large numbers of people – 50 million every month, to
be exact – from using Tinder.
Why is it so popular? Compared to other
clunky online dating services, the mechanics
of apps like Tinder – and now Chinese copycat Tantan – are rather ingenious. Or that’s
certainly what I’m being told by Tantan’s
CEO, Wang Yu, the man bringing the Tinder
format to China.
“Firstly, it’s efficient and requires little effort,” Wang tells me. Indeed, within minutes
of downloading the app, my profile is set up
(English interface available) and I’m swiping
(right to like, left to dislike) through potential dates in my area. Miu, 22, 500 meters
away… Dislike! Zhou Zhou, 24, 3km away…
Like! Twenty minutes later an alert appears:
‘Congratulations – you and Zhou Zhou liked
each other – now you can start talking!’ In
my first 24 hours of using the app, I have already started conversations with five women
– but not before rejecting about 200.
The majority of female users, it seems,
are aged between 18 and 22, and favor
strangely-angled selfies to show off their best
features. I ask a female friend to sift through
the male options – on average, they’re a little
older and I’m certainly not the only foreign
guy who has discovered Tantan.
“You can make tons of swipes per day –
whether you’re on a coffee break or on the
toilet,” Wang smiles. Welcome to the modern
world of romance, where you can meet your
future husband or wife while taking a sh*t.
Wang continues to sing the app’s praises.
“You never get rejected [because you can
only interact with people who have actively
liked you as well]. There is never this awkward moment where you’re telling her that
you like her and you don’t know if she likes
you back.”
However, this just makes me feel more
pressure to live up to expectations before
meeting in person.
I’m still waiting for my date to arrive, and
it dawns on me that there will be those who
use Tantan for a bit of fun and those who use
it for serious dating. When she finally does
arrive – let’s call her Weiwei, for anonymity’s sake – she confesses that, like me, this
is the first time she has met face-to-face with
someone from Tantan, although I’m not her
only match.
Wang estimates that, on average, users
swipe 200-250 times per day, while 65 percent get a daily match.
Those numbers seem unfeasibly high for
serious dating, but the app is addictive – I
find myself getting sucked into a chauvinistic power trip as I evaluate the thousands
of women lined up for my consideration.
Consequently, getting matched is an undeniable ego boost. It feels “magical!” says Wang,
who also claims that there are more female
users than male, because the service is attractive to women – “They can choose who
they’re interested in, they don’t have hundreds of guys talking to them.”
The numbers are growing. In July, Tantan

wife while taking a sh*t.
had around 10,000 users – now it has upwards of 120,000. “We’ve done limited marketing. It’s spread by word of mouth because
it works.”
That said, it helps that the CEO is also the
man behind established social networking
app, P1. “When we started Tantan, we invited
users from our pre-existing P1 database of
young, very stylish people. Some were using
P1 for dating. From that, we understood a
lot about the mechanics of the social interactions surrounding dating.”
Before meeting Wang, I imagined him as
a Mark-Zuckerberg-meets-Hugh-Hefner type.
Someone as comfortable composing computer code as he is a pick-up line. But Wang
is quite the opposite – unassuming, casual
and quite pragmatic when it comes to talking
about Tantan.
As I gaze over his team in their offices, it
dawns on me that these very techies are the
behind-the-scenes architects of thousands of
potential love stories. They hold the keys to
becoming the country’s biggest matchmakers. But Wang doesn’t think in such touchyfeely terms.
“It’s for young people who are single and
don’t feel they have access to enough people
around them to meet up. We’re trying to
solve a problem for young singles… we want
to maximize the chances of matching.”
The problems of finding a partner and
dealing with intense societal pressure to
14
marry have been well documented in China:
leftover men seeking leftover women.
Wang, now married, draws on his own
experience to illustrate the point. He bemoans how hard it was to meet women
when he returned to China as a young, single
man after a stint abroad.
“It felt desperate to ask friends to introduce other singles to me, and I felt like
it wouldn’t be very efficient either. Tantan
would have been perfect.”
But can an app as seemingly shallow
as Tantan really be a serious matchmaker?
Wang grins. “China is probably a better market for a service like this than anywhere else.
In the West, people are more used to flirting.
They find it easier to get the conversation
started. I think it’s something Chinese people
are not used to. With Tantan, you’ve already
acknowledged an initial mutual attraction
so you don’t need to flirt, you can just start
talking.”
Unlike Tinder, personality tags can be
added to your profile – ‘outgoing,’ ‘sci-fi fan’ –
to give you something to talk about.
“Then there is the Chinese notion of
kaopu (trustworthy; of high morals),” Wang
explains. “Young people in China are looking for people with that trait. But finding a
partner in a bar or club, like you might in the
West, is not really kaopu. That’s the problem
we are trying to solve.”
I’m not sure how kaopu I feel by ‘liking’
Bingbing, 24, based purely on two headshots
and our shared interest in The Lord of the
Rings. Yet hopefully the requisite high morals
can be summoned through my endearingly
broken Chinese as we instant-message and
get to know each other.
But having a few shared interests does
not guarantee flowing conversation. It’s
mostly just question-and-one-word-answer
exchanges, turning the interaction into something of an interrogation. After a few days of
silence with Bingbing I check to see if she’s
lost interest or not:
“Still there?” I ask.
“Yes, still alive,” is the response.
“Great,” I fire back. “Because talking to
dead people is really hard work, lol.” No response. You don’t need to put in much effort
to get a match, but you might require some
to keep things going from there.
Perhaps she was wary of men seeking a
one-night stand. “In China you have Momo
for that,” says Wang. As a serious dating
app, he believes Tantan will appeal to many
more people than Momo, as well as in-depth
matchmaker services like OK Cupid and
Jiayuan.com.
“We believe the current major offerings
in the Chinese market are going toward two
extremes. Apps like Momo are purely for
one-night stands while matchmaker sites are
for getting married,” explains Wang.
“We appeal to people in the middle who
feature » CITY
admit they have dating needs but they don’t
want to admit they’re desperate to get married at age 20. We believe that most singles
are interested in just meeting as many people as possible, and then progressing very
casually.”
That certainly seems to be the case for
my date Weiwei, who is in her late twenties
and works at an IT company. She insists
she doesn’t feel any pressure about getting
married or starting a family – call me cynical, but I can’t help but wonder whether she
thinks that’s what I want to hear. I ask if she
has ever used Tinder, the app that Tantan is
closely modeled on. The answer is no – but
for Wang and his team, I suspect it’s a yes.
“Tinder is very successful, obviously,”
says Wang, deciding not to elaborate further
on their similarities. “But it’s not just Tinder:
there’s Hot or Not, who initially started the
whole idea of swiping, and Badoo, to name a
couple.”
But we both agree that Tinder will never
gain much market share in China, since it requires a Facebook account to log in. Linking
to a pre-existing social media account does
ensure some security, though: it’s much
harder to manipulate your age or set up
bogus accounts. With Tantan you just need
a working cell phone number to register,
and you choose whatever age you like for
yourself when you first log in. Wang assures
me that they screen every account that’s
registered, but with plans for rapid expansion around China, they’ll need serious manpower to continue doing so. Of the hundreds
of users I’ve skipped through, the only signs
of trickery I’ve noticed are some implausible
names (e.g. Top Monster, 19 or Daydreamer,
21) and the alarming tendency for some
women to draw moustaches or cat whiskers
on their faces.
I’m also unsure exactly how Wang can
monetize the app. “For now we’re focused on
the user experience,” Wang states. “Charging
[for add-ons] is something we may consider

Tinder is huge in the West and Tantan

China. App analytics company, App Annie,

Before I leave Wang, I ask for some advice on the perfect profile. “For girls: just be
real. No Photoshop, no cosmetics. For guys:
women are interested in your taste, your
style. A photo of you at the beach or doing
something fun will get you a high success
rate.”
Superficial? Well, I might have rejected a
few hundred potential soulmates but, leaving

date with Weiwei is on the horizon. “If people say it’s shallow that’s probably because
people are quite shallow,” Wang explains.

Non-confrontation nation
Avoiding conflict, one ‘maybe’ at a time
BY Zach Etkind
“
Maybe you don’t have to come in next
week.”
“Ok, how about the week after
that?”
“Umm, maybe you don’t have to come in
that week either.”
“Am I being fired?”
“Ummm yaa, uhhh, noo, well, I just think
maybe you don’t have to come in anymore.”
“Ok, I’ll go ahead and assume I was just
fired. Have a nice day!”
This is, verbatim, how the conversation
went when I was once fired from a job. It’s
fair to say that the Chinese aren’t the most
confrontational people in the world. In fact,
they avoid confrontation like the plague.
Much of the non-confrontation code rests
on the word ‘Maybe.’ The word is seemingly
never used to actually indicate that something may or may not happen – instead, it’s a
massive red flag that something isn’t right.
If you hear, “maybe your visa won’t be
done for two weeks,” you’d better translate
that to, “there is not a chance in hell your
visa will be done in two weeks; four weeks if
you’re lucky.” Or if you hear “maybe [insert
co-worker’s name] won’t come in today,”
20
If you hear, “maybe
your visa won’t be
done for two weeks,”
you’d better translate
that to, “there is not
a chance in hell your
visa will be done in
two weeks.”
you’d better come to grips with the fact that
said co-worker is most likely not even in the
freaking country.
This lack of committal language can be
frustrating in the workplace, where a definitive ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ would be appreciated. That
said, in other situations, I find this attitude of
‘avoid confrontation at all costs’ a welcome
change of pace from what I was used to in the
States.
Before living in Shanghai, I lived in
Boston – a city that falls on the opposite side
of the confrontation spectrum from
China. No matter what social situation you’re in, there will be at least a
few people looking for a fight – and
nobody’s more ready for fisticuffs than
the bouncers. On paper, a bouncer’s job
is to keep the peace at bars and clubs,
but this couldn’t be further from the
truth in Boston. Many a time, I’ve seen
friends violently tossed out of bars because they “drank those three beers too
quickly and could start getting rowdy.”
What is this, Minority Report?
In China, though, I can’t tell you how
many times I’ve seen people passed out in
clubs or bars as the entire staff just goes
about their business. I’ve seen a man passed
out on the floor while an ayi just sweeps
around him, pretending like he doesn’t exist.
While still flawed, I respect this ‘hands off’
approach far more than that ‘adult babysitter
with an attitude’ thing going on back in the
States.
Another example – I once fell asleep on
the subway in Guangzhou. I was about to hop
on a 26-hour train ride to Beijing – I’d intentionally gotten very little sleep the previous
two nights so I could be out like a log for
most of the journey. Unfortunately, this plan
backfired when I fell asleep (while standing
up) on the subway to the train station.
When I awoke I was shocked to see that,
at some point during my nap, I had placed
my hand on a Chinese man’s head in order to
stay upright. Everyone on the subway car was
staring at me, including the man whose scalp
I was palming. However, not a single person
yelled or even tapped me on the shoulder to
inform me I was using another human being
as a make-shift support pillar. If I had pulled
this stunt back in Boston, I would have – at
best – been cursed out by a slew of people. At
worst, I’d have gotten the crap beaten out of
me. Thank God for China.
I’m well aware that sometimes situations like this don’t highlight how nonconfrontational Chinese culture is, as much
as how some Chinese people treat waiguoren
differently from their fellow citizens. Would
the people on that subway car have reacted
as calmly if it was a Chinese person who had
fallen asleep on a fellow passenger? I doubt
it. But that’s a topic I’ll tackle another day.

Embracing risk, uncertainty and Taobao
Ken Ho On His Experience at the Shanghai Jiao Tong University
Antai IMBA Program
provides an office, advisors and help all along
the way. You just need to update your reports.
All of this support, from the beginning all of
the way to production, is offered at Shanghai
Jiao Tong University but not at other schools.
Ho at the SJTU Xujiahui Campus
F
rom studying psychology to becoming an investment portfolio manager, Canadian-born Ken Ho has never
been ready to settle down for an easy life.
His friends were startled by his decision
to quit his stable job and start anew in
Shanghai, but Ken has always felt that it
was a risk worth taking.
Why did you decide to move to Shanghai?
I graduated from UBC as a psychology major,
but eventually ended up working in investmenting at Bank of Canada. To be honest, it
was difficult to find a job using my psychology
degree. After I graduated, I began working as
an investment portfolio manager; one of my
primary goals was to make sure that companies were investing in a socially and environmentally responsible way.
I soon realized that I had two options: I
could stay where I was, or I could try something completely different. People in the
investment world are always talking about
Shanghai, and the city really interested
me. I took a short trip here, and was totally
amazed. After that, I applied to three schools:
UBC, Stanford and Shanghai Jiao Tong
University.
Why Shanghai Jiao Tong University?
I know many people would go for bigger names,
like Stanford, and be willing to pay more, but
for me, it all came down to how the program
could help me succeed after graduation. One
of the biggest challenges I faced was my lack
of fluency in Chinese – but Shanghai Jiao Tong
University has the IMBA(International MBA)
program that is taught entirely in English. The
professors come from all around the world,
working together and sharing their views.
That’s what attracted me to Shanghai and to
Shanghai Jiao Tong University.
So what was it like when you finally enrolled in the program?
I arrived in a place where I had no family,
no friends and no idea where anything was.
I took a cab and asked the driver where the
closest hotel was. The International Program
Manager Miranda Liu and other faculty members helped a lot by showing me around and
putting me in contact with international students through WeChat.
What are the classes like?
To me, the classes are more than just a networking club. My classmates feel really close
to me, and we share our successes and our
challenges. I’m currently working with one of
my classmates on our own start-up project.
What is your start-up?
We are working on a pollution-proof hand
cream. I read a report about how pollution in
China has led to more people developing allergic reactions on their skin, like hives. That
made us realize that an anti-pollution cream
could help people before their reactions
started. Our team is now working on pricing
and packaging.
Are you happy with the IMBA program?
At this point, the experience has been so
great that I can’t imagine not coming here.
The start-up program encourages students to
launch their own business ideas. If Shanghai
Jiao Tong University acknowledges the value
of your product, then investors know that
your start-up has potential. The university
What’s your biggest concern so far?
One of the things that concerns us foreign
students the most is the financial support.
Even though I’ve been working and had saved
enough money to survive for a few years, I
still worry about my lack of income. Again,
the Shanghai Jiao Tong University's community helped me – soon, I was set up with a
tutoring job, helping a graduate complete his
English thesis.
We met a few times at coffee shops – he is
very smart and owns a company in Shanghai
that manufactures air purifiers. That really
interested me. Later, he invited me to view
his company, and even offered me a job
there. Since then, I have learned much about
Chinese business practices, both within domestic companies and between Chinese and
international corporations. We are working to bridge the gap between Chinese and
Western businesses.
What is one of the highlights of living in
Shanghai?
OMG, Taobao is the best website I’ve ever
seen. I mean, what don’t they have?! When
I first moved here, I was looking for many
things: internet cards, pillows and everything
in-between. Instead of going to IKEA, I visited
this amazing website. After setting up an account and figuring out how to use WeChat
pay, I was good to go. It’s amazing!

history
Gordon Road (Jiangning Lu)
After fighting in Britain’s second Opium War, Major General Charles George
Gordon moved to Shanghai to protect the European colonialists from the rebel Taiping army that was advancing on the city.
Gordon was eventually appointed to command the ‘Ever Victorious
Army’ against the Taiping troops. His army lived up to its name, taking town
after town from the rebels and – with support from Imperial troops – eventually forced the rebels from their base in Suzhou.
Gordon had mixed feeling about China, complaining that “There is nothing of any interest in China: if you have seen one village, you have seen the
whole country.” However, he also wrote that “Whatever can be said of the
rulers, no one can deny that the Chinese peasantry are the most obedient,
quiet and industrious people in the world.”
When he died, Gordon received an outpouring of love from the Western
residents of Shanghai – to them, he would always be ‘Chinese Gordon,’ the
man who saved their adoptive home from the rebels. He was described in his
epitaph as a “Warrior of God, man’s friend and tyrants’ foe.”
Hart Road (Changde Lu)
After winning a position with the
Foreign Service straight from university in Belfast, Robert Hart began
work as a student interpreter. First
in Hong Kong and then Ningbo, he
quickly won of the confidence of his
superiors – not by upbringing or
swagger (as was the order of the day)
but simply through hard work and
intellect.
In 1859, Chinese authorities requested that Hart establish a customs
administration for the port of Canton
similar to the one set up in Shanghai
under Horatio Nelson Lay. British authorities accepted his resignation and
from that day forward, Hart served
the Chinese government for over half
a century. He eventually rose to the
supreme rank of Inspector General of
Customs.
To this day, Hart is remembered
as a model laowai: one who loved the
country and its people, assimilated
seamlessly and worked for the nation’s progress.
Hart sincerely believed that no
conflict of interest whatsoever existed between England and China: by
serving China dutifully, he served his
home nation as well. “I want to make
China strong,” Hart wrote of his aspirations, “and I want to make England
her best friend.”

Seymour Rd (Shaanxi Lu)
Admiral Sir Michael Seymour was Commander-inChief of the Royal Navy’s ‘East Indies and China’
station when Britain waged the second Opium War
against China in 1856. He destroyed the Chinese
fleet at Fatshan in 1857, and then captured Canton
and the Hai River forts. These events forced the Qing
Empire to consent to the Treaty of Tientsin (one of
the ‘Unequal Treaties’), concluding the first part of the
war. Seymour Road in Hong Kong’s Mid-Levels is also
named after him.
history » CITY
Ward Road (Changyang Lu)
A native of Salem, Massachusetts, Townsend Ward dropped out of school at age 16. Not exactly a
burnout, he then sailed around the world and learned to be a mercenary from the infamous William
Walker, the man who had raised the private armies used to annex Mexican territory into the United
States.
Those skills came in handy years later when Ward was living in Shanghai. As the Taiping rebels
advanced on the city, Ward scoured the wharves of Shanghai for any Westerner (sober or otherwise)
capable of firing a weapon and formed the Shanghai Foreign Arms Corps.
Ward’s “sometimes drunk and always disorderly” fighting force of 200 men were eventually able
to capture Songjiang, but were later driven back by 20,000 Taiping troops.
Ward realized it was time to change tack. Instead of a ragtag band of foreign gunslingers, he took
the most reliable of his men and formed the Ever Victorious Army, a force of 5,000 that earned its
lofty title by defeating superior forces again and again.
Elgin Rd (Anqing Lu)
James Bruce Eglin was the British High Commissioner in
China during the Second Opium War. In 1860, he ordered
the burning of the Old Summer Palace, one of the most
destructive events in China’s history. Praised by British
Empire, Lord Elgin also served as Viceroy of India and
Governor General of Canada, where many buildings, towns
and city streets still bear his name, as well Elgin Street in
Central, Hong Kong.
These were the streets
The names behind the thoroughfares of Old Shanghai
BY Ryan Kilpatrick
B
efore it was the “Former French Concession,” a large swath of Shanghai was, well, French. The neighborhood was controlled by the
Consul General of France in Shanghai, and it showed. The international settlers in Shanghai tended to name things after the old country:
today’s Hengshan Lu was Avenue Petain. Huaihai Lu was Avenue Joffre. Yan’an Lu was Avenue Foche.
The British and American imperialists handled things differently. After combining their concessions into Shanghai’s ‘International
Settlement,’ they too renamed many of the city’s streets: but after public figures who had risen to fame in China, not after idols from back home.
The ‘Shanghailanders,’ as the settlers called themselves, chose many figures who had fought against the Taiping rebels in the early-to-mid
1860s. The rebels were fighting against both the corrupt, feckless Qing dynasty as well as the foreigners who had humiliated China in the
Opium Wars – the conflict that led to these international concessions in the first place. Taiping troops managed to seize most of the area around
Shanghai, in Jiangsu Province, but were never able to take the city itself.
Along with those who fought in Britain’s Opium War against China, the men who defeated the Taiping rebels became idols in the minds of
the Shanghailanders. This group of men certainly participated in the dirty affairs of imperialism – the conquering, the plundering, the using of
an entire nation’s population as raw material for empire – but for the settlers of Shanghai (who were, after all, imperialists themselves) that
was reason enough to have a street named in their honors.

made with luxurious ingredients like avocado, jojoba, coconut oil and sweet almond
oils. The entrepreneur is also happy to customize her recipes according to clients’
needs and skin types, and is currently working on a spring selection influenced by
cocktails – think Piña Colada and Margarita-inspired scrubs. A joy to use, each Lalu
treat is also incredibly affordable: scrubs go for RMB88-98 a jar, while body lotions
are RMB120/160 each. A wholesome deal all around.

rather than the clichés. Ming vase-inspired floral prints graced dresses and

elements shone throughout the lineup
– coats, trousers and dresses featuring
gold pagoda buttons while long overcoats sport cloisonné enamel-inspired
linings. Maggie Cheung’s turn in Wong

an appearance too, inspiring a modern windowpane check incorporated
on quite a few garments. Sitting in the

H&M is not just a big player
in ‘fast fashion,’ it’s a giant.
The company is second only
to Inditex, owner of Zara, as
the world’s largest clothing
retailer. So the fact that, over
the last four years, it has been
positioning itself as an ethical solution to style is, simply
put, pretty noteworthy. The
Swedish company has done so
with its Conscious Collection,
a line of environmentally
sustainable clothing that has
become a recurring spring
feature. Launching April 16,
the 2015 range has actress
Olivia Wilde as its new face,
and spans a selection of garbs
inspired by African, Asian and
Indian cultures in both cut and
detail. Dresses are a focus, along
with hand-drawn prints created
especially for the collection. Each
garment and accessory is made of
materials such as organic silk, organic cotton, organic linen, Tencel,
recycled polyester and conscious
leather. Fresh and oh-so-springready, this is just the ticket for a
wardrobe update as we enter the

Beware, color lovers: This spring seems to be all

a stern monochrome color scheme are juxtaposed
with graphic patterns, transforming simple staples
of modern masculinity into visionary and dynamic
pieces defined by texture, shape and depth. The
overall result is a clean and cool wardrobe for the
hotter season – one for men who aren’t afraid to embrace the more experimental side of fashion.

Annakiki is a label someone

and pop motifs, mesh and
voluminous shapes, the vision
driving this brand is almost
fantastical, a mix between
futurism and avant-garde. A
far cry from the saccharine
sweet pastels usually associated with spring, this season’s
designs come in a striking
palette of black, red and
white, showing structured
overcoats and geometrical
cuts for dresses and skirts.
The entire range has an edgy,
badass feel that shuns away
from sartorial conservativeness and, frankly, makes for
a refreshingly interesting approach to style.

When Accent Objects launched last year, we immediately fell for it.
The venture does handcrafted decorative objects in various types

the cliché knick knacks one finds in most décor shops. The brand
recently branched into its first standalone concept store, a beautiful
space on Xintiandi’s Taicang Lu, where its entire range is on display.
Conceived as modern, desirable works of art, each item is designed
by a young and talented group of artists drawing inspiration from
the deep culture and long heritage of China, and made locally with
the use of traditional craftsmanship infused with a contemporary
pulse. If we were to pinpoint one company acting as an advocate for
Chinese creativity, this would be it.

Pristine paradise
White beaches and whale watching on the coast of Mozambique
BY NED KELLY, Photos by Noemi Cassanelli
The colorful fishing boats of Memba Bay
W
32
e are taking a small eight-seater
turboprop aircraft down the
coast of Africa, to Mozambique.
Flying low, as the vast East African mangrove
swamps of Tanzania give way to white-sand,
palm-lined beaches and turquoise waters that
fringe small, tin-roofed towns and villages, it
soon becomes evident that we’re headed to a
laidback, pleasantly otherworldly land.
By the time we touch down on Nuarro
Luxury Eco Lodge’s private airstrip, and are
driven down dusty roads to the reception atop
a dune overlooking the magnificent Memba
Bay and its wooden Beach Bar, relaxation is
the only word that comes to mind. While we
may have been flying south, mentally we have
taken a turn for the horizontal. Nuarro has an
instant calming effect.
The snacks help – ruled by the Portuguese
for nearly 500 years, they introduced cashew
nuts to Mozambique from Brazil. Naturally
salted by the sea, they are perfect washed
down with a cold beer. The first global empire in history, the seafaring Portuguese also
brought spices and seasonings such as onions,
bay leaves, garlic, fresh coriander, paprika and
chilli peppers. Food is to become one of the
great delights of our stay.
As is the company of Nuarro manager
Isabel’s two cats, Flip and Flop, who resemble
felines from Egyptian hieroglyphics. These
graceful gods seem to worship the guests
though, religiously following you back to your
chalet to make sure you settle in each night.
It is difficult not to. As an Eco Lodge,
Nuarro’s 12 chalets are all constructed from
natural materials by local craftsmen, with
large doors in the longitudinal ensuring plenty of ventilation and negating the need for air
conditioning. Dominated by a king size bed,
covered by a mosquito net, each has its own
veranda looking out to sea, so you can leave
the doors open and fall asleep to the sound of
the waves.
Darkness having fallen, we settle into
the hammock on our veranda and look out
over the moonlit Indian Ocean as a fishing
boat we cannot make out rows to shore, its
presence made known only by the crew, who
sing in unison; an enchanting song in their
lilting Makua dialect, a branch of the Bantu
languages.
A lot of time is spent on that veranda –
relaxing, reading, enjoying the sea breeze
coming up off the beach and – let’s be honest
– snoozing. But there is also a raft of activities
on offer at Nuarro, from snorkeling to sea kayaking, dhow sailing trips to beach picnics.
travel » LIFE & STYLE
A beach massage, one of the perks of Nuarro Luxury Eco Lodge
And diving of course. The Marine Activity Centre
is a fully equipped PADI Centre overseen by friendly
couple Susanna and Richardo, who cater for all levels of divers, from beginners who walk in right from
the beach, to night and shipwreck dives for the more
experienced.
Given that most of the stay is about getting away
from it all, the village walk is an interesting and
enlightening highlight. One oft trotted out pub quiz
fact about Mozambique is that it is the only country
to have an AK-47 on its flag: this is a nation with a
tumultuous recent history.
Firstly, the Mozambican War of Independence
against the Portuguese lasted a decade from 1964 to
1974. Then, just two years after finally gaining that
independence in 1975, the country descended into
an intense civil war that lasted 15 years up until to
1992. It was as bloody as it was protracted; some
one million people died in fighting and from starvation, with countless others injured and losing limbs
to landmines. A legacy from that continues to plague
Mozambique to this day.
Suffice to say with such turmoil, this wellendowed nation has struggled to reach its potential.
While at peace now, and blessed with extensive
natural resources, Mozambique ranks among the
lowest in the world for GDP per capita, human development, measures of inequality and average life
expectancy.
The literacy rate of the country is also estimated
to be just over 50 percent. One of Nuarro’s projects

is the refurbishment of the local primary school in the
neighboring village of Nanantha, attended by no fewer
than 280 children. Five dollars from each overnight stay
and two dollars from each activity are also donated to
the local community, funding the building of a community center and medical post as well as the school.
By the time we leave the village we have a fair procession of those 280 children following us back to the
beach, where we are greeted by fishermen and their
catches. Which brings us back to the food. Breakfast,
lunch and dinner are all served in a large open restaurant on a rocky outcrop at one end of the beach – fresh
fish, lobster and huge prawns, plucked straight from the
sea and cooked to perfection.
Migrating humpback whales also pass the bay with
their young, and on the final afternoon after lunch, rather than make the five-minute walk back to our verandas
or exert ourselves with an activity, we decide it is wiser
to sit it out on a sofa on the restaurant terrace with a
chilled bottle of white wine (or three).
Our idleness is rewarded when across the vast blue
we see a great white plume shooting into the air. And
then another. Superb white (wine) plumes shoot out of
our own spouts in excitement at having spotted one of
these majestic marine mammals.

Ilha de Moçambique
A few hours’ drive from Nuarro, off
the coast of northern Mozambique,
lies UNESCO World Heritage site Ilha
de Moçambique. Previously a major
Arab port and boat building center,
it was visited by Vasco da Gama in
1498 on his famous first voyage to
India.
Strategically important as the
closest place in Africa from which
you could cross the Indian Ocean
to Goa (thereby avoiding Somali pirates and the like - they are no new
phenomenon) the Portuguese established a port and naval base here in
1507. The Chapel of Nossa Senhora
de Baluarte was built in 1522, considered the oldest European building in the Southern Hemisphere.
A trading post for slaves, spices
and gold, it became the capital
of Portuguese East Africa, giving
its name to the entire country.
Withstanding Dutch attacks in
the 17th century, the Netherlands
desperate to nab this jewel in the
Portugal’s African crown, the striking colonial architecture survives to
this day.
It is a must-visit for history buffs,
or anyone who enjoys a good story
while being surrounded by beautiful
relics of a bygone era. Catering for
these visitors, a number of restaurants
and bars have sprung up, while we
stayed in a 400-year-old house, wondering who would have retired for the
night in our rooms over the ages.

Links hotel Golf & Spa resort
T
hree hours north of Shanghai, over
the mouth of the mighty Yangtze
River near Nantong in Jiangsu
Province, lies a perfect place for a bit of R&R
away from our city’s hustle and bustle.
The term ‘links’ refers to the oldest
style of golf course; one built by the coast
(hence the traditions of sand-filled bunkers).
Honoring its name, the Links Golf & Spa
Resort boasts a 27-hole championship golf
course embedded in its nearly 12 square
kilometers of natural swampland on the
Yellow Sea.
That makes for a destination in itself, but
is by no means where things end. For when
the golf course was first being formulated,
the developers began digging, looking for
water to irrigate the fairways. What they
hit were hot springs with some of the most
mineral-rich water on the globe.
You will now find a main hotel with
indoor and outdoor spas, a dozen pools, as
well as a swimming pool, sauna, infrared
cabin and Turkish-style Hammam, while on
the fitness front there is a gym with professional personal trainers.
When it comes to dining and entertainment, new general manager, hospitality
veteran Kurt Dohnal, presides over a restaurant offering both Western and Chinese
fares, plus a wine room with an extensive
list including the finest from Dohnal’s native
Austria. There is also a wine and cigar bar,
karaoke, card rooms and much more.
The water with the richest mineral content
at the Links Hotel Golf & Spa Resort is to be
found at the even more luxurious Clubhouse
– a network of villas a short drive from the
main hotel. With private gardens and their own
pools, the water here is so mineral rich, in fact,
that it comes up from the earth clear but turns
a rusty red when it reacts with the air.
Set in wetlands with a unique ecosystem,
the area is home to an abundance of birdlife
– including migratory birds so rare they are
on watch-lists. Bird-watching while enjoying
a thermal treatment, not to mention top class
dining and drinking options and a round of
golf, it is the kind of break from Shanghai we
all deserve to treat ourselves and our family
and friends to. As often as possible!

Crowne Plaza Shanghai Harbour City
S
itting on the south island of scenic Dishui Lake,
Crowne Plaza Shanghai Harbour City offers the
perfect resort getaway to those looking for a relaxing weekend a short journey away from home.
The first and the only island hotel in Shanghai, the
property is a striking architectural complex designed
by ATKINS, the international firm behind the famous
Burj Al-Arab hotel in Dubai. Divided into five different
buildings arranged around a main dome-like lobby, from
above it looks like a flower blooming in the water – a
beautiful example of 21st century design.
Most of the 330 rooms offer graceful views of the
lake, as well as luxurious facilities and state of the art
technology. A butler service is also available for suites
and rooms belonging to the Crowne Plaza Club – the perfect option for guests looking for that extra touch of care.
Rooms aside, the hotel is an excellent choice for
MICE events, conferences and weddings. It boasts
impressive meeting and event facilities, including a
1,050-square-meter pillar-free grand ballroom and nine
separate function rooms, each providing modern audiovisual systems, portable stages, broadband internet
access and LCD projectors. A Crowne Meeting Team is
on the ground to help as dedicated meeting specialists,
providing a convenient single-point-of-contact to handle all requirements.
When it’s time to relax, guests can try the property’s
Shanghainese restaurant or the all-day dining bistro, or
enjoy a drink at the well-stocked Alps Haus beerhouse.
Alternatively, you can lounge by the indoor and outdoor swimming pools, unwind in the hotel’s soothing
spa or hit the well-equipped fitness center.
On a sunny day, particularly as summer approaches,
the 100,000 square meters of green fields, wonderful
lakeside terraces and tennis court provide a tranquil
retreat from the cacophony of urban life. Better yet, the
hotel’s proximity to the water means sailing courses are
available – which makes for a pretty cool weekend activity. Lessons are taught by SSC, a training school with
a professional operation team offering sailing experiences, summer camps, team building and recognized
sailing certificates.
From now till the end of the year, the hotel is running a sailing package which, from only RMB868, gets
you one night's stay in a Superior Room with two buffet
breakfasts, one hour sailing experience for one person,
and free use of the indoor swimming pool and gym.

Furious 7
Lawrence Ku Trio – Pictures
apr
12
Who would’ve thought that a little film
about LA street racing would become one of
our most enduring movie franchises of our
time? After Justin Lin’s recent stellar trilogy, he turns the keys over to Saw director
James Wan. Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel)
and crew (Michelle Rodriguez, Ludacris,
Tyrese) are returning home but are pursued
by a revenge-seeking Jason Statham (Crank).
UFC star Ronda Rousey and action legends
Kurt Russell and Tony Jaa join in on the fun,
which will surely involve plenty of car chases
and monologues about family. It’s the last in
the series to feature Paul Walker, who died
halfway through filming. The film’s tribute to
the star reportedly left audiences in tears at
its opening.
Best known for consistently bringing the
funk to the JZ Club as leader of the 10-piece
Red Groove Project, Lawrence Ku is showing
off a different musical side with Pictures.
“Trio playing is a lot different,” he explains. “Everybody has more responsibility
and there’s even greater communication
involved.”
Describing it as “more of a modern jazz
record,” the live album was recorded over
four nights at the JZ Club. While bassist E.J.
Parker and drummer Nicholas McBride are
mainstays of the group, award-winning organist Steinar Nickelsen and drummer Chris
Trzcinski sit in for a couple of songs.
The disc mixes originals like Ku’s fourpart ‘Pictures’ series with rearrangements
of jazz standards like Bill Evans’ ‘Never Let
Me Go.’
It’s the latest addition to the city’s
mounting jazz discography which includes
recent albums by singer Jonas Seetoh and
sega-fusion favorites Noukilla.
“We’re privileged in Shanghai
because we have
the JZ Club where we can play original music
whenever we want to,” the Los Angeles native says, laughingly recalling gigs at home
“where the band members outnumbered the
audience.”
Since moving to Shanghai in 2005,
Ku has been racking up assignments. He
recently served as the musical director of
Taiwanese pop singer Shunzai’s album and
toured with Karen Mok. In addition to being
principal of the JZ School, he’s a member of
Alec Haavik’s Friction Five and Toby Mak’s
electronic jazz-fusion project, TTechmak.
He’ll be among the city’s jazz staples
taking part in the second annual JZ Spring
Festival running from April 30 to May 2.
“When I first started playing here, everyone was mainly playing standards,” he says.
“Now, there are tons of bands and everyone’s
writing their own music.”

Unchained Melody
Ghost: The Musical brings a modern romantic classic to the stage
By Zoey Zha
T
wenty-five years after Ghost dominated the box office, setting a highwater mark for modern romances
and forever making pottery sexy, it’s back as
a musical. Adapted to the stage by the film’s
screenwriter Bruce Joel Ruben, Ghost: The
Musical has racked up three Tony Award
nominations and raucous reception from audiences during tours of Europe, America and
South Korea. The show sets off an ambitious
China tour that stops off at Shanghai Culture
Square from May 31-June 7 with tickets already flying fast. We chatted with the show’s
deputy director Paul Warwick Griffin and its
stars Liam Doyle and Lucie Jones while they
were in town.
What were you looking for when casting
the role of Sam Wheat?
PWG: When Bruce Joel Rubin wrote the
40
movie, he also wrote a stage version. He
worked very closely with us right from the
beginning and one of those decisions were
casting Sam and Molly.
All the singing and
dancing makes Ghost:
The Musical kind of a
separate entity.
When Liam and Lucie came to meet us, we
put them on tape and sent it to Bruce. We
had a little talk with him about it and what
Bruce managed to distill for us was the essence of a character.
There is something that he felt Patrick
[Swayze] brought along in the creation of the
role, which was a wonderful combination of
confidence, charm and yes, good looks. You
need to believe that in real life, Sam Wheat
was a winner, so that his sudden and cruel
death is that much more traumatic. At the
same time, he has to be very kind, compassionate and caring.
These are all characteristics that Bruce was
very particular about. When you cast Sam
Wheat, the actor has to speak for certain
things. They have to be around 6 feet tall and
play a little guitar. Fortunately, Liam ticks all
those boxes. It’s not about Patrick Swayze,
but everything that the character Patrick created that must be delivered to the audience.
It is important to honor that.
lead » ARTS
What was the most challenging part in
casting the role of Molly?
PWG: We only have Molly happy for 15
minutes. Most of the show, she is in an understandable mix of emotional extremes. The
challenge for any actor is charting the course
of grief and loss, otherwise it would be very
possible to fall into a one-note performance,
which stops being interesting for audiences
very quickly.
She has to deliver her feelings while staying
honest with this life experience. It becomes
a very detailed, complicated and emotional
journey and a roller coaster for the both of
them. But Molly is the one who is alive, so
she carries the responsibility of making it
look real – to make sure that it’s something
we could all connect with despite all of the
extraordinary elements. I think that’s the
power of the show.
Technically, this show
is like nothing you
have ever seen before.
I’m really looking
forward to learning
all of the illusions and
I can’t wait to walk
through doors.
You’ve done a Korean version and one on
Broadway. Are there any differences between those two and the version that will
come to China?
PWG: None at all. There is a ‘blueprint version’ of the show that has been done around
the world. The Korean version actually got
the original London set when they started.
The version we did there was the same we
did in London and New York, but with a few
technical differences. There will be differences in this version, but they are going to be
subtle. There is no difference in the structure
or content of the show.
Liam Doyle
A rising star on the West End, Liam Doyle has charmed
audiences with roles in hits like Cinderella, Wicked and
Mamma Mia! For his first major starring role in Asia, he has
the difficult task of stepping into a character immortalized
by Patrick Swayze.
Are you worried about being compared
with Patrick Swayze?
LD: It’s impossible not to compare me with
Patrick Swayze, just because of how iconic
the film was and how well everybody knows
him. But I think the great thing about our
show is that you can get everything you
see from the movie through a story told on
stage, but all the singing and dancing make
it kind of a separate entity at the same time.
So people will compare, but there will also
be a part of me that I bring to the character
that makes it very different.
Apart from the comparison, what’s the
most challenging part of this role?
LD: I think the whole show is quite challenging because you want to bring this
beautiful story across well. Technically, this
show is like nothing you have ever seen before. I’m really looking forward to learning
all of the illusions and magic that happens
in the show, like walking through doors – I
can’t wait to do that! And the beauty of touring and changing from venue to venue is
that you get to see different things. I would
not call it a challenge but a privilege.
Lucie Jones
The Welsh songstress first caught people’s eyes and ears
with her standout run in the 2009 edition of X-Factor.
She’s stepping into the role that Demi Moore made famous, but Jones is no stranger to the limelight. For her
West End debut, she co-starred alongside Nick Jonas in
an adaptation of Les Miserables.
Your character is the only one in this relationship who is alive. Is that difficult to
convey when performing?
LJ: Molly is not sure about the existence
of Sam, and she has to feel it. But for me, I
will just have this huge hulky man standing
right next to me who I have to completely
ignore.
The show will be touring across China.
What are your expectations of the audience?
LJ: We are not here for very long and we
are just going to give everything on the
stage to win over audiences. Personally, I
want the audience to come see the show
and to like me and my performance. I just
want to win you over.

Me Everything’ to his name,
Pitbull has truly gone from Mister 305 to
Mister Worldwide. The Miami rhymer shut
down Shanghai his first time around and is
back again, bringing the party to MercedesBenz Arena on April 7.
Congratulations on coming back to
Shanghai. We went last time and had a
blast. What will this show be like?
Well, it’s bigger, better, newer and longer, ha!
Last year, we had some approval issues production-wise when we toured China, and had
to adjust it a little bit. This year, China will
get the full show. Personally, I try to bring a
little piece of Miami to the audience in every
performance. It’s my hometown and it’s part
of me. I want to share it with everyone.
Congratulations on your new record
Globalization. How does it differ from
your past work?
Since 2009, I make resolutions every year
that I try very hard to follow. For 2015, it was
to make history – and I think Globalization is
very much a part of that. Those first albums
and hit singles were big breaks for me, but I
feel like I have really hit my stride on this album. I have truly become Mister Worldwide!

your favorite places to travel?

sexy beaches and I want to hit up every sexy
beach I can find in the world. I’ve always

bigger in the years to come. It’s great that
cross-exposure of music and styles is growing between the East and West. It should.
You know my motto:
single, bilingual and
ready to mingle.

time between the two countries. What
do you hope will happen in that relationship?

When you finished those songs, did you
know they would be global hits?
I think any real artist knows when they have
something.

The 2014 AMA Ceremony was a big topic

Hello!
Passengers
Queen Sea Big Shark takes
over Strawberry Festival
By Andrew Chin
D
own in the basement of 22
International Art Plaza in Beijing,
Queen Sea Big Shark are putting the
finishing touches on their third disc. It’s been
four years since Wave popularized electronic
dance-rock in the country’s underground,
but they’re in the midst of another reinvention.
“We wanted to go back to guitar, bass and
drums,” explains guitarist Cao Pu. “There’s
not so much electronic music or disco on this
record.”
“The first album was us looking back at
our history, and on our second album, we
were looking towards the future and wanted
to do something new,” adds frontwoman Fu
Han. “This album is about now. We don’t care
about style or if it’s fashionable. We just want
to express our thoughts about the world that
we’re living in.”
It’s been a decade since Fu called Cao
about starting up a band, inspired after a P.K.
14 gig. They recruited their friends Wang
Jinghan (bass) and Xiao Wu (drums) to
round out the group, while their memorable
name is a literal translation of a sign they
saw at Houhai Lake.
They now stand alongside the art rock
giants as trailblazers of the country’s indie
scene and have the American Vogue photoshoots to prove it. Their 2007 self-titled
debut was among that year’s best-sellers and
they’ve been playing high profile gigs abroad
since opening for Yeah Yeah Yeahs in San
Francisco in 2009.
Last fall, they had a prime spot at the inaugural Modern Sky Festival in Central Park,
and are veterans of South by Southwest.
Although they’ve only released two
songs in four years, one of them is ‘Bling
Bling Bling.’ Posted online, it’s become a
modern anthem. The self-made music video
has over one million views on Sina TV, and
the band considers it a turning point.
“We were unsigned, had few shows and
were almost bankrupt,” Cao recalls. “We
knew we wanted to do something that was
different.”
“We found our way to express ourselves in Chinese lyrics and are now able
to do something crazy with them,” Fu adds.
“Sometimes people write lyrics like a poem,
but we prefer something easier where eve-
The first album was us looking back at our
history, and the second album was us looking
towards the future. This album is about now.
ryone can know what we’re talking about.
Sometimes, [Cao] says it sounds like something written by a student.”
Tentatively scheduled for a May release,
the still-untitled disc will feature 11 songs
with only one track in English – an inversion
of their celebrated debut. They invited their
friends, including some of Beijing’s top jazz
musicians, to join in, adding layers of saxophone, double bass, French horn and sitar to
the group’s sound.
While Cao jokes that “each album will
cost us three or four years because we write
very slowly,” the band is uniformly excited
about the disc. Declaring The Beatles as their
current favorite group, Fu is at a loss for
words to describe the sound.
“There’s a bit of jazz, some hip-hop elements and acoustic guitars,” she says, spontaneously coining the term, “Psychedelic
dance folk.”
The band plans to embark on a national
tour near the end of the year, their first in two
years after they were among the first indie
acts to play in Xinjiang Province and Tibet.
Although they prefer club shows where
the goal is for attendees to enter “a different
world that we’ve created,” full of installations
and bubble machines, Queen Sea Big Shark
is content to play larger events such as the
upcoming Strawberry Festival.
“We will have a bigger stage to do visual
things and to have more people on stage,
which allows us to fully display our concept,”
Fu says. “It’s different, but sometimes a big
venue is good to fully express our ideas bigger and louder.”
Now established veterans, they marvel
at the growth of the country’s indie scene.
“There are many more festivals around
China, many new bands we didn’t know before,” Cao says.
“Many more live houses, more record labels,” Fu continues. “Independent music has
become much bigger. It’s an industry.”

ho could forget the moment when American singer-songwriter Katy Perry hit the spotlight? In a controversial debut single
to rival Britney Spears’ slutty schoolgirl in ‘Hit Me Baby One
More Time’ and Christina Aguilera’s desire to be “rubbed the
right way” in ‘Genie in a Bottle,’ ‘I Kissed A Girl’ shot the Californian to fame
in 2008.
Since those early but hardly innocent days, Katy Perry has sold more
than 11 million albums worldwide and become one of the highest paid female pop stars on the planet. Teenage Dream, released in 2010, made her the
first female artist to achieve five number-one Billboard Hot 100 songs from
one album, a feat only equaled by Michael Jackson with Bad.
Offstage, Katy Perry is known for her laid-back personality and flamboyant
sense of style, on numerous occasions surprising the public with risque or just
plain odd ensembles or routines, sometimes unintentionally – Left Shark, anyone? In fact, she’s been photographed so often wearing strawberries, bananas
and watermelons that Chinese netizens have taken to calling her ‘Fruit Sister’ (
水果姐).
She’s a real firework and has definitely got the eye of a tiger, and now
you’re going to hear her roar!
Katy Perry will be having her Shanghai debut next month as part of her
Prismatic world tour. In eager anticipation of this momentous occasion, here
are some lesser-known tidbits about the singer:
Her real name isn’t Katy Perry. Shocker, we know. It’s actually Katheryn
Elizabeth Hudson.
She had a sheltered childhood, as her parents are strict Pentecostal
Christians. She was forbidden from watching The Smurfs and Harry Potter.
Her first film role was as the voice of
Smurfette in The Smurfs. So, take that Mum
and Dad!
She started out her music career as a gospel singer – because, well, Christian parents.
Her hair color is dyed! She’s actually a
blonde. Which I guess we should have figured,
since you know what they say about blondes…
The key to keeping her teeth pearly white is
cleaning. Lots of cleaning. Obsessive cleaning.
Not so good with spelling, this dame counts
spell-checker among her best friends.
Big breasts used to embarrass her – more
specifically, her own.
In Forbes’ Top-Earning Women in Music
2014, she ranked fifth.
She has tattoos to commemorate her albums: a strawberry for One of the Boys, a peppermint for Teenage Dream.
A Katy Perry Barbie Doll was released in
December 2011.
Prism is her first album to be sold in China.
She was moved to tears when hearing
‘Roar’ played by the China Central Chinese
Orchestra – just a few days after she did the
splits on the Great Wall.
Guinness World Records are piling up on
her shelf. The 2015 edition saw her nab one
for being the musician with the most Twitter
followers. Sadly, we’re not one of them because, well, Great Firewall, VPN hassle, etc.
According to her sister Angela Hudson, she
farts a lot.

Present.Being
Celebrating new media pioneer Wang Gongxin
By Zoey Zha
A
As a new media artist, I know
what I do doesn’t appeal to
the local market, yet.
46
s one of China’s first video artists, Wang Gongxin has built an impressive
legacy filled with awards and titles. Despite his status as a new media pioneer, however, he admits that he still feels estranged from the domestic art
scene. In fact, Present.Being is only his fourth solo exhibition at home since moving
to America in 1995.
“To be honest, as a new media artist, I know what I do doesn’t appeal to the local
market, yet, so I do have concerns about giving solo exhibitions in China,” he says.
“Also, the circumstances here are difficult,” he adds, pointing towards the
challenge of finding an appropriate venue to maximize his large-scale works
while attracting an audience interested in experimental art.
Sitting with Wang at OCT Contemporary Art Terminal a week before the
exhibition opening, he revels in the freedom that he’s been given. Present.Being
eschews the usual curator-artist dichotomy, giving him full reign to create the
context between the space and the works.
“Not many galleries I know could support such an exhibition without frowning at the budget,” he concedes. “Unfortunately, we don’t have any system or
foundations to sponsor us.”
In other words, the arts continue to require wealthy patrons. He is pleased
by the increasing numbers of galleries and new collectors in China, but is aware
of the gap between those who appreciate art and those who buy it.
“Most of these collectors are more like speculators, who consider artworks
as commodities instead of learning the value of art itself,” he says.
“They tend to buy works from young artists with lower prices rather than
mine. I mean, why not? There is a good chance that one of these young artists
will become a big name one day and their works will be valued more. It truly
makes no difference if they don’t understand what they have bought.”
In a career full of accolades, Wang is the only Chinese artist to be nominated
for the prestigious Laurence Olivier Award. He grins when it’s brought up and
recalls his surprise at being invited to contribute to the show in 2011.
“I had never been involved with theater before, so I was convinced that they
had the wrong person,” he laughs. “It turned out that the director was impressed
by my video work that had been exhibited in London years ago and was looking
to cooperate. I thought, that’s me, indeed.”
The show was based on the best-selling Wild Swan, which resonated with
Wang’s family background. Arriving in London, he was cornered by the director
who excitedly spent six hours discussing the concept and convinced Wang to
take on the project despite the language barrier.
art » ARTS
The show was a major success, with
Wang receiving credit for its spectacular
set designs. Despite the acclaim, the 2013
nomination for the Olivier Award was unprecedented.
“I guess those judges were as unprepared as I was by nominating the first
Chinese artist,” he says. “I never gave it much
thought, although it meant more comparisons to Ang Lee’s Oscar awards.”
Not many galleries I
know could support
such an exhibition
without frowning at
the budget.
Art lovers continue to follow Wang’s
celebrated career. 20 years ago, the trained
oil painter exhibited his first video work,
Brooklyn Sky. Inspired by a visit to America,
Wang returned to Beijing where he dug a
deep hole near his home and placed a monitor inside, showing a view of the sky over
Brooklyn. The piece was lauded by CNN as
one of “10 artworks that will change the way
you see China.”
A series of photographs document-
ing that piece’s creation will be shown at
Present.Being. The exhibition follows Wang’s
artistic evolution but he notes, “It would be
a pity to do this as a retrospective with Sony
sponsoring all these exquisite devices, so I’ll
introduce three of my latest works.”
Created last year, ‘The Story of Lei Feng’
appropriates the iconic image of the PLA
soldier reading a book, and interprets him
through different races, ages and identities.
‘Who’s Studio’ reconstructs French realist painter Courbet’s ‘The Painter’s Studio’
through multimedia video projection. ‘Blood
Stained Auction’ is his contemporary take on
the 1950s revolutionary realism style.

ith starring roles in No Exit
and Interview, Carlijn van
Ramshorst has established
herself as a veteran of the Shanghai stage.
Her upcoming one-woman show, Mrs.
Picasso, is her most audacious yet and
brings to life her concept of ‘theater in a
backpack.’
“After Interview, a lot of other countries were interested in having the show,
but logistics and finances made it difficult
to realize,” she explains. “With this show,
all props and costumes travel with me in a
large backpack. I do the lights myself and
the show is adjustable to all sorts of venues like museums, restaurants, theaters
or even large homes.”
While she will test that theory with a
late-April performance at Pure Yoga for a
selected audience, Mrs. Picasso will first
be staged at Strictly Designers from April
3 to 12.
Written with director Harry Piekma,
the show explores the intersection between love and art by recounting the
story of two of Picasso’s eight wives – the
woman the legendary artist never divorced (Olga Khokhlova) and the one who
dared to leave him (Françoise Gilot).
“I understand their struggle of loving
and living with a genius; how they loved
Pablo, how that influenced their lives
and their own artistic careers,” she says.
“Pablo was a bastard, I can’t deny that, but
I also fell in love with him.”
In addition to portraying both women,
Carlijn will also be a character who directly addresses the audience at times.
“I hope the show will open up discussions about relationships in general,” she
says. “The universal questions is, ‘do we
shape ourselves for our relationships or
do relationships shape who we are?'”

The Last Five Years
Relationship blues
By Andrew Chin
I
n Jason Robert Brown’s award-winning
musical, a relationship is explored from its
rapturous beginning to its sad aftermath.
Recently adapted into an Anna Kendrickstarring film, Urban Aphrodite brings The
Last Five Years to Jiadu
Theatre from April 9-19.
“This is part of a generation of musicals that
strive for truth,” says director Brandi Dowd. “It’s
so beautifully written in
a way that forces you to
have an emotional connection. It’s not so much
about the jazz hands and
dancing as it is about connecting with people
on a very real level. You really feel for these
characters and that never gets outdated.”
The show boasts a unique chronological
structure. When it opens, Cathy (Julia Carey,
Little Shop of Horrors) is going through the
heartbreak of the end of the relationship.
Meanwhile, Jaime (Paul Johnson, Kung Fu
Komedy) is preparing for their first date.
Their stories unfold until they reverse posi-
48
tions, their stories converging only in the
middle during their wedding.
“The timeline is so unique and allows us
to see the push-pull that happens in a relationship,” Dowd says. “Over time, we get to
piece together this puzzle
and see how their world
came together and eventually fell apart, all while our
opinions of each character
twists and shifts.”
Staying true to life, career ambitions play a major
role in sabotaging the relationship. Cathy is an aspiring actress, while Jaime has
dreams of being a writer.
“Everyone can relate to some part of the
show,” Dowd says. “While their love blossoms, only one of their careers takes off. This
sets the relationship up for a lot of conflict,
not only between the characters but with
themselves.”
This is part of a
generation of
musicals that
strive for truth.

Fight Club
Project Mayhem live
By Andrew Chin
Sigourney Chin
F
ueled by a desire to bring “men back to
the theater, while exploring masculinity in a world of metrosexuals and very
strong women,” Urban Aphrodite is adapting
Fight Club for the stage.
“Everybody’s expectations are going to
be so high, so putting on a facsimile of the
movie is always going to fall short,” admits
director Tim College who adapted the show
from Chuck Palahniuk’s 1996 novel, David
Fincher’s 1999 film and Jim Uhl’s original
unused script.
“It’s going to work live because the heart
of the story is character-based. Viewers will
recognize the narrative structure, but there
are twists and turns in terms of character.”
Unlike last year’s stage adaptation of
Rosemary’s Baby, Fight Club won’t be a traditional sit-down experience. The show’s
venue, Arkham, is best-known as one of the
city’s top underground clubs, with company
founder and assistant director Ann James
raving how it fits the show’s underground
aesthetic.
She cites Punchdrunk Theatre’s awardwinning Sleep No More as inspiration. Their
immersive adaptation of Macbeth has taken
over warehouses in London and New York
City.
“We want to give the audience a chance to
participate in this larger-than-life representation of Fight Club,” she says, adding, “there will
be no humans hurt. There might be a penguin
that is slightly damaged... by the audience.”
50
Channeling his experience creating New
Zealand’s largest independent pro-wrestling
company, IPW (in which he also starred as
‘The Dictator of Style’), College promises that
the numerous choreographed fight scenes
will “be pretty brutal. We want the audience
to be a bit uncomfortable, but still on the
edge of their seats.”
There will be no
humans hurt. There
might be a penguin
that is slightly
damaged... by the
audience.
“Following the baby boomers, consumer
culture took over and suddenly the needs,
wants and lusts in life were filled with products,” he continues. “All of the violence in the
story isn’t about killing, but about the selfdiscovery that comes with pain.”
With a creative staff of 15 and a cast of
25, it’s Urban Aphrodite’s largest production
yet. Awasta Sarif (Starchild: The Little Prince
Reborn, The Learned Ladies) stars as Marla,
memorably played by Helena Bonham Carter
in the film, while Cambio Coffee’s founder
Sebastian Martin takes on the role of Tyler
Durden.
Although this will be his stage debut,
James and College are effusive in their praise
of Martin for tapping into the darkness behind the charismatic leader.
“Brad Pitt’s performance was certainly
memorable, but I’m not trying to emulate it
all,” he explains. “My take is different. I can
relate to the feeling that modern men have
lost their way. A lot of my friends haven’t
been in a fight before. There’s something
very primal about that experience.”
To help prepare for the show, the cast
spent a month doing extensive boxing training. With his background in the sweet science, Martin quickly established himself as
the alpha of the group. While praising his costars for “developing good boxing skills, with
some able to do Brawl on the Bund if they
wanted to,” he sheepishly admits, “I could
beat them up if I had to.”
“We punch each other in the face and
we’re friends. It’s a weird bond,” he admits.
“It’s what Fight Club is about, bringing these
guys together through battle.”

Journey to the Northeast
Michael Meyer’s love letter to a village called Wasteland
By Aelred Doyle
C
hina memoir? History book?
Love story? Why not all three?
Michael Meyer argues that
“perhaps no other region has exerted
more influence on China across the
last 400 years” than Dongbei, the
northeastern region that was once
called Manchuria. He travels and chases parts of recent history that have
been almost rubbed out, and has done
his research – there’s an impressive
bibliography at the end.
But it’s what brings him there that
makes In Manchuria different. As “a
sort of connubial quid pro quo,” Meyer
decides to live for a while in his wife’s
hometown, a Jilin Province village
called Wasteland (Huangdi).
This is hardcore rural living, with
freezing winter winds gusting through
window panes while he huddles on
the kang – and then there’s the outhouse. His morning trip in the depths
of winter is “the worst part of the day.”
Most of all he misses his wife, who
Skypes him from her job in Hong Kong
every day.
But he thrives there. He loves
Dongbei people, who have firm handshakes, look him in the eye and don’t
spend the whole time telling him how
good his Chinese is; and he loves the
“beautiful and unique” landscape.
So this is really two books. One is
a lovely depiction of a tight community where people ask what family he
belongs to rather than whether he has
eaten; where he causes offense and is
forgiven without ever knowing why;
where “one rule of the Chinese countryside is that the more peaceful the surroundings, the more noise
people make.”
He’s a witty, close observer of conversation, particularly the local habit of leading chat to what he calls “The Island of Prices, where
so many villagers liked to drop the conversational anchor and spend
some time.”
The other is a study of the region, which the Manchu rulers of
the Qing dynasty first reserved as their own. In the 18th century Han
refugees were resettled there, and later a Russian land grab shrank
the territory.
The Chinese Eastern Railway between Vladivostok and Harbin
made the latter a thriving international port with a significant
Russian influence, while the Japanese and the Russians fought each
other on and off over the territory.
In one of many appealing little details, author Jack London was
sent to cover the war – stuck in Seoul, he moaned, “I’ll never go to a
war between Orientals again. The vexation and delay are too great.”
In 1931, the Japanese invaded and annexed the region (Puyi,
the last Qing emperor, was their hapless puppet ruler), and the fer-

tile soil and coal reserves were key
to their war effort to the very end.
Settlers came again, in the form of
over 200,000 Japanese farmers and
their families – tens of thousands of
whom died when the war turned and
the Soviet army swept through from
the north.
And the suffering wasn’t over. The
region saw one of the most horrible
events of the Chinese Civil War, with
the siege of Changchun leading to
mass starvation.
While rural areas like Wasteland
were spared the worst of the Cultural
Revolution (“this is not that China
book,” the author makes clear), it’s
never been an easy place to live. And
let’s not forget those bitter winters:
“The Japanese, the Soviets? They were
expelled. The cold returned every
year.”
The geopolitical back and forth
and the tussling by three great powers for control are compelling. Life
in Dongbei is infinitely better now,
but nothing ever stands still in China:
While Meyer lives there, an agricultural conglomerate starts buying up
land and persuading locals to move
into modern apartment housing.
Meyer covers this well, avoiding pat
conclusions and making it clear that
the people of Wasteland have their
own minds.
But the book has one more aspect
– it’s also a thoughtful and sincere love
story, a personal element that could
have made it cringe-worthy but instead helps us understand what draws
Meyer to the region.
Anyone who’s read Peter Hessler’s River Town, justly celebrated
as one of the great books about modern China, might remember
that he lived in the town of Fuling with another Peace Corps teacher.
Michael Meyer was that teacher, and this is his second excellent China
book, after his account of hutong living in The Last Days of Old Beijing.
It’s extraordinary that two such sensitive and talented writers were
thrown together in the same place at the same time.
This is a lovely book, a sweet depiction of love and commitment
with a moving ending. The fact that it’s also a fine introduction to a
part of China that is more culturally distinct than we realize, and that
has been the site of such struggle, makes it one of the most approachable and gripping China books we’ve read for a long time.

O
n a gloomy Saturday afternoon in the
suburban Beijing district of Daxing –
famed chiefly for its watermelon fields
– a seven-year-old girl sports a helmet,
knee pads and a skateboard half her
size. She is learning how to ‘drop in’ – a skateboarding move for novices in which skaters prop their
boards up on the edge of a ramp and plunge down
the incline.
Legs shaking, she calls out to her dad, a thirtysomething man in skinny jeans and a flat cap standing a few meters away, to make sure he’s watching.
Then she zooms down the ramp.
Not far away, a couple of teenagers are getting
ready to skate down a slide, while Li Chenggao, 31,
a computer programmer, is mastering a casperflip.
That’s a trick in which the board is flipped for half a
kickflip, then caught upside down, flipped back over
and spun backside 180 degrees on its vertical axis,
all while in the air. Li has been practicing the same
move for a few weeks now.
I am at Woodward Beijing, one of the largest
indoor skate parks in Asia. The space is, indeed,
gigantic.

Skaters
Opened in 2010 by the Chinese government and
Camp Woodward – a US venture known worldwide
as a promoter of action sports and skateboarding
camps – it boasts a 40,000-square-foot indoor
facility featuring two different street courses with
rails, banks and pyramids; a multi-level mini ramp;
a wooden bowl with a spine and deep end; a giant
vertical ramp with a foam pit attached. If there ever
was a skater’s heaven, this would be it.
It’s an impressive project considering it is solely
dedicated to activities like skateboarding and BMX.
There are similar spots in the Shanghai
Multimedia Park (SMP), formerly China’s largest
skate park, and the epic Guangzhou University City
Skate Park (GZ Uni Mega Park), currently the largest
in the world at 182,000 square feet – all built with
government backing.
Skateboarding is a quintessentially American
sport – it grew from a movement of bored Californian
surfers looking for something else to ride when the
waves were flat. When it first appeared in China
nearly 30 years ago, it was underground, a niche
embodiment of the edgy spirit of American cool.
Legend has it that the first American students
coming to Beijing to study Mandarin in the wake
of Deng Xiaoping’s reform and opening-up policies
brought skating to China in the mid-80s. What’s
more likely, however, is that Chinese teens came
into contact with films like Thrashin’ or The Search
for Animal Chin – classics for anyone who’s ridden
a board.
Easy to come by in first- and second-tier cities, bootleg VHS tapes offered the easiest way for
kids across the country to learn about Western pop
culture and the hip lifestyles and sports that came
with it.
Shanghai-based Jeff Han, one of the first
Chinese skaters to become a professional – an O.G.
‘original gangster,’ as I am to learn – got hooked
through watching skateboarding on screen.
“I remember watching this film called Gleaming
the Cube, [featuring Christian Slater as a 16-year-old
skateboarder investigating the death of his adopted
Vietnamese brother] and thinking how cool skateboarding was. I decided I wanted to do it too, and
found some plastic boards at a local street stall. They
were only RMB70-80, and felt incredibly slow… I
kept wondering how the skater in the film could go

the world.

The first time i rode
a skate, in my head, I
was in California.
so fast. Then, one day, I stumbled upon
a real skateboard in a sports shop.
It cost RMB360 – a fortune at the
time. I saved up and bought it. My life
changed from there.”
That was 1992. Han, like many
others, taught himself how to do a
few basic tricks and thought he was
the only one in Shanghai on a board - until one day,
when a friend told him he had seen someone else
skating on the street. “It was almost a shock, to hear
I wasn’t alone. I got in touch with the guy and we
started competing around town.”
At Woodward Beijing, Li tells me a similar story.
“When I was about 19, I found this documentary
called Dogtown and Z-Boys,” he says. “I just couldn’t
stop thinking about it. I bought a skateboard the minute I got to Beijing for university. I went to the park
and got on it. There were people staring at me, but I
didn’t see them. For that first wonderful moment, in
my head, I was in California.”
Back in the 1990s, the skating scene picked
up when American brand Powell Peralta entered
the country with a selection of products that, albeit
incredibly expensive, drew the attention of a number
of aspirant skaters from Shenzhen, Guangzhou,
Shanghai and Beijing. In 1994, the company
launched their first Powell Cup competition in China
– it ran for five years – inviting international skaters
like Steve Caballero, Danny Wainwright and Mike
Vallely to the PRC.
It put China on the map, expanded the board
and gear markets in the country (and lowered their
prices) and showed Chinese skateboarders the po-
56
tential of the sport.
“When I started training there were probably 30
skaters altogether in Shanghai. We were all inexperienced,” recounts Han. “But having all these pros
coming here was an eye-opener. It helped me and a
few others see skateboarding as a legitimate life goal
to pursue.”
The 40-year-old decided to do just that in 1999,
when he quit his job at one of Shanghai’s biggest
milk companies to open the city’s first skate shop,
FLY Streetwear.
“Those times weren’t easy,” says Han. “I would
take a 27-hour train with no AC to Guangzhou to get
shoes directly from the factory. I brought back Duffs,
Axion, NSS, Airwalks, Vans and DVS, sold them for
super cheap, probably RMB280 to 300, and they sold
out fast.”
Soon, Han founded Gift Skateboards, a manufacturer that started by exclusively producing foreign
brands boards, but has now become a leading
domestic skateboard name. As the 2000s kicked
in he started Skatehere.com, China’s most popular
Chinese-language skateboarding website.
“There started to be a growing demand to access skateboarding in all possible ways, and from
different cities across the country” he says. “But
also an aspiration to create a ‘Chinese style’ of skating.”
The demand kept growing: FLY branched out to
Beijing and Zhengzhou, and developed its own line of
skateboard designs – from gears and tools to clothes
and shoes.
Shehui Skateboarding, Beijing’s first skate shop,
followed a similar path. Founded in 2001 by Raph
Cooper, a USC alum who had studied at Peking
University in 2000, it focused on boards rigorously
‘Made in China’ and boasting Chinese-style graphics.
Today, its products are some of the most sought-after
by local skaters.
Predictably, international brands began expanding their presence too, broadening their recognition
in the country through marketing campaigns and by
sponsoring local skaters and competitions.
From Vans and Volcom to Converse and Adidas,
every major skate brand started sending their best
to the People’s Republic. In 2007, Nike went as far
as making a limited edition Nike SB shoe, the label’s
signature skate sneaker, with Han’s face on the side.
“They were called Fly Milk Blazer Premium,”
says Han, “as a reference to my previous job. Nike
made them after they came to check out FLY in
Shanghai. There were 7,000 pairs worldwide and
COV ER STORY
began sending their crews here to film foreign skaters in action.”
“Shenzhen is, no doubt, the most popular spot
for visiting pros. But many cities across the country
offer great shots from a skateboarding point of view.”
Lanceplaine himself has been charting the evolution of the sport in the PRC since 2011. He started
with Shanghai 5, an independent production showing
Shanghai’s skate culture across the sidewalks, parks
and every available, slightly-raised bit of asphalt and
concrete in the country’s urban centers. In 2012, he
took viewers to Ordos, in Inner Mongolia, with a film
showing skateboarders – both foreign and Chinese
– ripping up the streets and parks of the so-called
Ghost City [built to accommodate a population of
more than a million, Ordos has only a few hundred
thousand residents].
“We are in this skateboarding Mecca,” he continues. “Few other places are this good for skating.”
Johnny Tang, former Brand Manager at Nike and
also a professional skater, agrees. “China is probably
the biggest and best skate park in the world,” he
says. “From the sheer amount of marble and concrete you have in most cities to the fact that skating
is still so new that the police don’t really care. You
might occasionally get kicked out of a spot, but there
are millions of other places to take your board. It’s
incredible.”
The Canadian is another well-established figure
among the country’s professionals.
A former skate legend in his hometown of
Toronto, he moved to China 13 years ago, managing
to find sponsors to get him to skate here full-time. He
was in Guangzhou first, then Beijing and Shanghai.
The three cities, he says, have each developed their
own different scene for skating, “not so much in
terms of techniques, but of habits.”
“In Guangzhou, most kids skate at night, but
they do so all year-round, because of the warm
weather. Beijing is more for the hardcore ones – just
a handful of really dedicated skaters brace the cold
in winter. The spots there are amazing though: you
have these big groups of skaters just going around
doing tricks. In Shanghai, you’ve got communities –
different crews. There’s an almost business-like approach to it, a sense of ‘I’m skating with this group,
you’re skating with that group.’ It’s more competitive,
which is what I’d like to change.”
Despite the rising cluster of skaters, however,
China’s skating scene has yet to reach its full potential, says Tang.
“We’re still at the very early stages,” he ex-
Andrew Guan
they sold out super quick. On my last trip to the
States I saw a pair on sale as a collector’s piece for
over RMB2,000. Totally crazy.”
The international attention doesn’t seem to be
slowing down.
The same year Nike launched its ‘Milk’ series,
Shanghai became the first Chinese city to host the
Asian X Games (now called the Kia World Extreme
Games), a tournament for extreme sports first started
in the States by ESPN. The metropolis has been a
host ever since. Although snubbed by some skaters
who see it merely as a commercial event, the Games
changed Chinese attitudes towards extreme sports,
bringing them more into the mainstream of professional athletics.
Spurred by the growing interest in China’s skate
scene, documentary filmmakers like Patrik Wallner
and foreign skaters like Dave Bachinsky, Laurence
Keefe, Jimmy McDonald and Dan Zvereff also sought
to explore what Chinese cities had to offer.
“Quite suddenly, China became the number one
destination to shoot skating videos,” says Charles
Lanceplaine, a Shanghai-based videographer and
skater who has become a go-to filmmaker on the
fringe of arts and sports culture in China.
“Magazines, websites, video platforms, they all

plains. “The sport is growing, but the question is, is it
sustaining itself?”
“When I first moved here, there were a handful
of really good skaters. 20 amazing professionals.
And no sponsors. 10 years down the line, and I can
count five. The sport has certainly become more
mainstream, more accepted – people no longer get
freaked out when they see you skating by – but right
now it isn’t perceived to be as cool as it used to be.
Young kids aren’t exposed to it enough. And it’s getting less traction.”
Young people in China don’t get introduced
to skateboarding as easily as in the United States
or Europe. Most urban youths get their fix from
YouTube videos and blogs, which aren’t available
in the Mainland. Local sites like Youku still lag far
behind when it comes to hosting videos of tricks or
performances.
That’s where sites like Jeff Han’s Skatehere.
com and Kickerclub.com come into play. Qingdaoborn skater Andrew Guan founded the latter in 2001.
Like Skatehere, the site is an online community for
those interested in the latest news surrounding skate
boarding culture.
The 35-year-old started the site in college to put
up his and his friends’ skate photos. Since then, the
platform has grown to be an indispensable bilingual
resource, hosting features, comprehensive event
listings, skater profiles and product reviews. Guan
travels all over Asia for the site’s content – skating,
filming, documenting, interviewing and following a
street scene that could have become the norm in
China years ago.
“Skateboarding has almost reached an impasse
over the last few years,” says Guan. “And that’s
partly because big companies aren’t sponsoring new
skaters. They are investing their money in the wrong
places. Kids don’t know where to start.”
“Chinese parents are also to blame,” he continues. “With the one-child policy, they often tend to be
over-protective. They see skateboarding as dangerous and daunting, and it’s going to take a while for
things to change. So posting videos and writing about
it is essential.”
Both Tang and Guan believe that China’s current
skating generation has a duty to spread the word to
the country’s youth.
“Educate, help the scene grow and develop”
says Tang, whose next project after Nike will be with
Han’s Skatehere.com. “I’ll be doing tutorials, and
traveling around China to different skater communities. Cities like Kunming and Qingdao are getting really into the sport. They just need some guidance. Big
brands don’t have a clue how to do it. So it’ll have
to be the work of dedicated individuals. We have to
bring skateboarding back to where it originated: the
streets.”
Has the government’s stamp of approval, with
the construction of facilities like Woodward Beijing
helped push the sport forward in China?
“Not really,” says Tang. “The government has
built these huge skate parks, expecting kids to go
there and naturally start skateboarding, but it hasn’t
provided a real ecosystem for it. What we need are
skate parks in the middle of a downtown compound.
Not a fancy ramp that’s impossible to get to.”
Guan couldn’t agree more. “Building gigantic
skate parks in the middle of nowhere is typical
China,” he says. “It’s just a way to flaunt wealth and
‘power.’ It means nothing.”
They have a point. Woodward Beijing is miles
away from the city center, a two-hour subway ride
plus a 30-minute taxi drive from the closest metro
stop. It is, literally, in in the middle of a watermelon
field. SMP is equally far from downtown Shanghai.
When I visit on a Sunday afternoon I see only six
skaters in one area that could easily hold four times
as many.
“I come here when the weather is bad but I
really want to practice,” says Li, the guy I met at
Woodward. “But really, it’s mostly out of desperation.
We’re basically in fucking Hebei, not Beijing.”
The father of the girl who attempted the ‘drop in’
tells me they are here for the same reason. “It rained
yesterday and she hasn’t had a chance to practice in
a while. That’s why we came. But I tend to avoid it if
I can. Skating belongs to the outdoors. She prefers
practicing in the park.”
The young skater has managed to do the trick a
couple of times, and as she rides towards her father,
there’s a massive grin on her face.
“She started because I am a skater too,” he
says. “It’s like a family thing. She’s now getting into
watching skate videos too.”
“Skateboarding is a lifestyle,” says Tang. “It deserves attention as much as basketball does, not just
some government money or brand promotion. And
it’s addictive. Show a kid one stair and he’ll come
back and show you four stairs.”
Expose China’s young, urban population to skating in the right way, and they’ll learn. Fast.

Parkour feels
like flying. To
me, it represents
freedom.
n its most basic form, parkour is the act of
moving from point A to B using obstacles
in interesting ways. In practice, it is a highadrenaline combination of gymnastics and
martial arts, played out in the middle of the
world’s biggest cities. The sport is a system of leaps,
vaults, rolls and landings designed to help a person
avoid or surmount whatever lies in his or her path.
Parkour goes over walls, not around them; it takes
the stair rail, not the stairs.
The word itself is made-up, a derivative of “parcours” (route), so-dubbed by its French creator David
Belle as he developed the sport in the late 80s/early
90s. Belle credits his father, an acrobat and fireman
with a background in martial arts and military training, as the sport’s inspiration.
Over the years, the discipline has grown into a
type of urban gymnastics with philosophical underpinnings – a martial art featuring a metaphysical
component that focuses on the feeling and aesthetic
expression of freedom and the ideas of adeptness
and utilitarianism.
As with most extreme sports, it started as an underground movement – in this case, in a Paris suburb – and soon caught the attention of thrill-seekers,
martial artists and, through videos, the media and
entertainment industries worldwide.
Luc Besson first captured the sport’s daredevil
qualities in 2001, with the film Yamakasi [the name
of Belle’s first group of parkour practitioners in suburban Paris, established with his friend and fellow
parkour athlete Sebastien Foucan], propelling the
sport to global fame. In 2006, the James Bond movie
Casino Royale opened with a bracing parkour chase.
Madonna has featured its performances in one of
her tours. Rapper Chris Brown incorporated a crew
of traceurs and traceuses (male and female parkour
practitioners, respectively) in his 2012 act at the
Grammys. The list goes on.
Parkour owes much of its international popularity to the Internet – YouTube, in particular, played a
key role in increasing awareness and participation in
the sport. Traceurs constantly post their latest moves,
experiments and mishaps to massive online followings. As the sport went viral, it also moved into the
mainstream.
It might be surprising, then, that a country that
has been without access to YouTube since 2009
would have any awareness or enthusiasm for parkour. Not only does China boast a multitude of online
parkour viewers, it has active parkour communities in
almost every first- and second-tier city.

Martino Chen
Talking with a few practitioners reveals that, in
a way similar to the growth of skateboarding in the
country, the discipline grew through young Chinese
athletes’ exposure to films.
“Most Chinese traceurs learned about parkour
through movies,” explains Ma Ke, a 34-year-old
former parkour practitioner in Beijing who recently
stopped practicing because of an injury. “That’s how
we were first exposed to it. Until, of course, it physically arrived in China.”
The discipline’s entrance into the PRC dates
Undeterred by public perception, the first generation of Chinese traceurs continued practicing, and
the sport grew quickly – albeit remaining niche.
Soon enough, the word parkour was being
translated as paoku (跑酷) (literally “cool running”)
and drawing a growing number of athletes. By 2007,
parkour routines were being posted on Tudou and
Youku, while clubs were popping up like mushrooms
across the nation.
Talbot-Turner, who was in Shenyang between
2010 and 2012 fostering the discipline, says its
growth was “phenomenal.”
“China took to it incredibly fast. The local community
developed independently from
other countries, but with impressive determination.”
Today, traceurs around
China number around
200,000, with some 200
clubs. A handful of keen
devotees have even made the
sport their full-time profession.
Martino Chen, founder of Shanghai Parkour
Community and Link Parkour, the first gym in
Shanghai solely dedicated to the discipline, is one
of them.
The 28-year-old fell for the sport in 2008, after
watching District 13, a film notable for its depiction
of parkour in a number of stunt sequences that were
completed without the use of wires or special effects. Like many other Chinese traceurs, he had no
idea that the visually stunning acts in the movie were
part of an internationally practiced sport. “I was just
fascinated by the way people were jumping and flying over walls,” he recalls.
A white-collar worker at the time, Chen started
Parkour goes over
walls, not around them;
it takes the stair rail,
not the stairs.
back to 2006, when a few individuals decided to
bring those free-spirited stunts from screen to reality,
and started practicing as traceurs in parks and urban
compounds.
In China, of course, back-flipping and gravitydefying jumps were nothing too out of the ordinary:
flailing, spinning heroes pour out of kung fu and wu
xia tales that are the fixture of many a Chinese television series.
Yet parkour, had a diffcult time taking off. “No
one really knew what it was,” says Matt TalbotTurner, co-founder of parkour magazine, BreathePK,
and a leading figure for the sport today. “Jumping off
buildings wasn’t exactly well received by people at
first, in China more than other places.”
60
It’s amazing
what parkour
can make you do.
Chen agrees. “The first generation of Chinese traceurs started
late – I was 22. Compared to the
West, there’s some lagging in
terms of practice here, which may
be one of the main challenges
facing the development of parkour
in the country.”
The fact that most people still
look down on the sport is another
factor hindering its development
- both Chen and Yang say their
parents are not supportive of what
they do, and would be happier if
they had ‘real’ jobs. Furthermore,
the 2013 death of a parkour
enthusiast in Sichuan Province
brought negative attention to
parkour as a foolhardy, reckless
pastime.
That, perhaps, explains why
sponsored competitions such as
the Red Bull National Parkour Tournament, haven’t
had the easiest time breaking into the Chinese market. Beginning in 2009 and held again in 2011, the
event fizzled out before it could gain steam.
The energy-drink brand returned to China
two years ago with another tournament, the China
Red Bull Parkour Competition. First held in Hebei
Province, last year it moved to Beijing, where more
than 30 participants brought the abandoned industrial site of 751 D-Park Art Zone to life with sets of
breath-taking moves – leaping over parapets, somersaulting off platforms and performing handstands
on ledges to the beat of electrifying hip-hop
music. The media attention, however, was disappointing.
But not everything is doom and gloom for
China’s traceurs and traceuses.
Government backing of the discipline – only
if and when practiced safely – has seen the rise
of a few parkour facilities in metropolises like
Beijing and Shanghai. Although parkour doesn’t
need specific props – the city itself is a traceurs’
playground – offering spaces to train without
potential safety hazards no doubt allows for a
less-intimidating approach to the sport.
It is still inching towards the mainstream,
but parkour isn’t leaving China anytime soon.
“The sport is a social media darling,” says
Talbot-Turner. “It prospers on the Internet like
few other disciplines do. China being at the
center of today's digital revolution makes it the
perfect place for it to thrive. There couldn't be a
better time for parkour and China.”
Ma likes to highlight another main aspect
for which, he says, the sport is set to win more acolytes among the younger generation. “At its roots,
parkour is as much about helping others to achieve
things as it is about achieving things yourself,” he
says. “And I think that’s enticing for a lot of young
people these days.”
Parkour, like kung fu and other Chinese traditions, is as much about the philosophical as the
physical – and that may be one major reason to be
optimistic about its chances in China.
“Parkour feels like flying,” says Chen. “To me, it
represents freedom.”
Martino Chen
having a go at a few moves on his own. In time, he
mastered the sport, becoming one of China’s most
prominent practitioners and decided to make parkour
his life pursuit. Last year, he quit his job and opened
Link, aiming to teach parkour professionally in a safe
environment.
The gym has nearly 30 students, aged from
six to 40 years old. “Kids, young professionals and
students,” he says. “Most of them are male, but
there are a quite a few girls starting to approach the
sport.”
The number might not sound like a lot but, for a
discipline based on scaling drainage pipes and jumping from rooftop to rooftop – and in a country where
the words ‘extreme’ and ‘edgy’ are yet to be met with
a welcoming attitude by most – it is a strong start.
Despite worries of its dangers – fuelled in part
by videos of extreme routines done at dangerous
heights – one reason for the growing popularity of
parkour in China, Chen says, is its accessibility to
athletes at all levels. It’s not necessarily a competitive sport: rather, it’s about progress at a level that’s
meaningful for you.
Ma in Beijing agrees: “Parkour is a very personal
sport. It’s about setting your own goals, both mentally
and physically. The resulting sense of achievement is
just great.”
Indeed, actually jumping off something tall takes
not just strength and technique but also mental discipline: You have to be willing to face your fears and
commit to movements, trusting your body’s ability to
take you where you want to go.
“It’s amazing what parkour can make you do,”
says Chen. “Although safety is obviously a very
important issue. As a traceur, you must learn and
always be aware of your limits.”
Yang Maomao, a 26-year-old professional
traceur and coach who trains alongside Chen in
Shanghai, has learned that
lesson the hard way. Last year,
as he performed a flip he had
done many times before, he
failed to notice a wet patch on
the ground. As he landed, his
knee ligament tore.
“They had to replace it
with an artificial one,” he says.
Yang had a long recovery,
but eventually bounced back.
“I gradually picked up
training again, though there
are certain actions I can only
do with the protection of a mat
now. But I love the sport so
much that an injury is not going to stop me.”
His biggest regret about
the accident is having missed
a training tour of Europe with
his Shanghai parkour crew. “I
would have loved to go and

Thrills and Spills
on Two Wheels
“
BMX is thrilling. It’s young. It gives you an
energy rush like no other. When I am on my
bike, I feel like I can fly.”
Shen Jian looks dead serious as he tries
to explain what BMX means to him. His expression
is stern, almost intimidating. If it weren’t for the
palpable excitement in his voice, you’d think he was
talking about a somber subject. Instead, he’s telling
us all about the extreme sport he’s made into his
full-time profession.
When we first meet at The Place – an extreme
sports park in Pudong that’s a favorite among
BMXers and skaters in Shanghai – Shen arrives on
his off-road sport bike, featuring knobby tires and a
lightweight frame, and immediately sets up to show
us some tricks. His face stays thoroughly focused
throughout, revealing a concentration that deceives
62
his moves’ seeming fluency. It’s obvious that this
isn’t child’s play: BMX requires all the strength –
mental and physical – you can muster.
First developed in the late 60s in Southern
California, BMX is an acronym for Bicycle Moto
Cross. It was invented at the height of the popularity
of motocross, a form of off-road motorcycling, as a
result of youths seeking to imitate motocross styles
of riding and racing but on bicycles, which they
modified and adapted to suit the dirt tracks on which
they raced.
In China, the sport arrived less than 15 years
ago, mostly via videos and the establishment of
Shanghai as the main host of the Asian X Games
(now Kia World Extreme Games). The extreme sports
tournament introduced the Chinese public to the discipline, which went on to become one of the event’s

most popular competitions.
A few brave kids became so interested in BMX
that they started practicing on their own. Soon,
communities began to develop. In cities like Beijing,
Shenzhen and Guangzhou, clusters of BMXers could
be seen practicing in skate parks, training alongside
skaters. Slowly – and remarkably smaller than their
‘cousins with a board,’ as some practitioners say – a
local BMX scene started to take shape.
The debut of BMX racing as an Olympic sport –
the first ‘extreme’ discipline to earn such recognition
– during the 2008 Beijing Olympics propelled the
practice to further heights. China started organizing
its own tournaments across the country, assembling
a BMX national team.
A key ambassador of the discipline in the PRC,
Shen had (and still has) a major role in its development.
The Shanghai native took to BMX in 2005, a
skinny 17-year-old with an obsession with bikes and
adrenaline rushes. He started out with an inexpensive
two-wheel, then began to upgrade it as he got more
serious. He rode alone almost every day, “because no
one else was doing it,” he says, and got quite a few
injuries along the way. His military-like approach to
training started to get results.
“In 2007, I decided to dedicate myself to the
sport full-time. I started winning quite a few titles:
first in teen championships, then on a national level.
In 2011, I got a sponsorship with VANS and became
their professional BMXer.”
That same year he founded Future BMX, a
company promoting the sport across China through
courses, events, joint competitions and shows. The
team he put together counts only seven members –
I started
riding alone
because no
one else was
doing it.
four foreigners, three Chinese – but the demand for
BMX, he says, “is rocketing around the country.”
“We travel everywhere from Chengdu to Beijing.
BMX live performances are sensational. Once people
see them, they get hooked.”
The sport isn’t just a visually impressive series
of stunts or a spectacular all-out race, though. It
requires discipline and rigid training.
A lap takes about 45 to 50 seconds (riders are
typically in the mid-20 mph range) and a standard
race is three laps – it’s essentially a sprint from beginning to end, and it is grueling. And the acrobatics
are certainly not easier – doing jumps and learning
to land correctly, while also improvising, requires
some serious fitness and preparation.
For the ill-trained, the risks of injury are real.
“I got hurt so many times, I can’t even remember,” says Shen. “The worst was when I tore a ligament in my left foot. The foot was literally hanging
off,” he says. “I didn’t move for three weeks.”
Dangers aside, there’s a feeling that once people give BMX a try, they get addicted.
“The scene has grown a lot since I first started,”
says Shen. “Government support and the opening
of a number of places specifically dedicated to BMX
have definitely helped the sport. And the types of
people coming to it are so different, it keeps things
interesting.”
A quick glance around The Place backs up
Shen’s observations. Local BMXers span kids, teenagers and twenty-somethings. On a second visit,
we meet a bunch of foreigners practicing alongside
locals.
Age and skill don’t seem to matter – everybody
shares the track, and everybody is accepted as
equals. Although BMX can be a very individualized
activity, there’s a community atmosphere as well.
Many riders come as much for the companionship as
for the love of the sport and the exercise it provides.
“Riding with your friends and learning new tricks
together is what I like most about it,” says Aimeric
Gautherin, a French student studying in Shanghai
who’s practicing alongside Shen. “BMX draws a lot of

like-minded people. Competitions are just a
secondary aspect of it.”
Shen agrees. “We have training classes
of 20-30 people every weekend,” he tells
us, “and over 800 BMXers regulalry coming
to ride. Practicing together is at the core of
BMX.”
As he says that, a frustrated look – that
of a sportsman who just missed a point, or
accidentally stopped on a winning race –
comes across his face. “The main challenge
we have right now is improving the level of
our most competitive riders. International
brands have yet to pick up how big the
scene is getting here, so there aren’t many
opportunities for sponsorships. But hopefully
that’ll be changing soon.”
And with that, he shoots off with the
rest of the BMXers, over the jumps, around
the corners.
Like one big family.
KIA World Extreme Games 2015
Previewing Asia’s largest action sports event
BY Andrew Chin
Other confirmed attendees include 13-year-old
sensation Trey Wood who will defend his gold medal
in the Skateboard Mini-Mega Competition. It’s not
all fresh-faced young guns taking part. Three-time

judge for the category.
Meanwhile, competitors in the speed climbing
competition will race each other on a newly designed
wall. Top notched freestyle motocross (FMX) riders
and inline athletes will perform exhibitions as well,
and a multi-sports Mini-Mega jam is also scheduled.
With a prize purse of USD200,000 and perpetually record-breaking crowds, the Kia World Extreme
Games has become an essential stop for fans and
participants.

Yunnan-style worms
Worm is a dish that doesn’t come with high
expectations. A plate of fried creepy crawlers is something you drunkenly ingest in
Bangkok on spring break, not something you
order at a restaurant. But we’ll be darned if
Deep South Yunnan Ethnic Cuisine doesn’t
serve the (relatively) tastiest platter of
crunchy squirmers we’ve tried yet.
We padded our stomachs with some
familiar noodles and soup and waited for the
piece de resistance to arrive on a stone slab
with banana leaves, in three neat piles: small
worm, cricket and big worm.
Small worm – The top dog. Small worm
was salty and ambiguous enough to pretend you weren’t eating some poor pupaic-looking creature. Bite it
in half for a morbid look at the insides, and you’ll be pleasantly surprised to see nothing but family-friendly
generic white tissue. Cricket – Pretty do-able. It’s also salty in taste, but the extra crispiness is a reminder
that you’re eating an exoskeleton. Big worm – This tastes like eating a lot of small worms in one big
mouthful. Only for the true worm enthusiast.
Alas, man cannot live on worms alone. Luckily, Deep South Yunnan Ethnic Cuisine also has delicacies
such as roasted pig brains (RMB36) to keep your fires burning. Stay tuned for next month’s ‘We eat it... so

Shanghai’s best dim sum
It’s time for brunch: Hong Kong style
BY Betty Richardson
Dim sum, or dianxin (点心) in Mandarin denotes bite-sized breakfast or lunch food served in steamer baskets or on small plates, consisting of various steamed, fried or baked delicacies such as dumplings, buns, roasted meats and more. Dim sum goes hand in hand
with tea drinking: the term yum cha (饮茶 yincha) is synonymous with the taking of tea and a long, drawn-out lunch with friends or
family. For many, dim sum is a classic cuisine – most reputable establishments take an ‘if it ain’t broke don’t fix it’ approach to menus
– and rightly so. There are times for fusion, but this isn’t one of them. Here’s a lexicon of the best, and most classic dim sum dishes
and where to find them in our lovely city…
Har gao (虾饺 xiajiao)
The quintessential dim sum dish, steamed har gao shrimp dumplings are delicately flavored with garlic and sesame. They should
contain at least two whole shrimps within a near-translucent
wheat starch wrapping, with seven to 10 elegant pleats at the
joint. Har gao are exceedingly difficult to make, the benchmark by
which the skill of a dim sum chef can be judged.
Shumai (烧卖 xiaomai)
Going hand in hand with the aforementioned har gao, shumai are another indispensable dim sum. Cylindrical in shape, shumai consist of
minced pork (and sometimes shrimp) encased within a thin wrapper,
the top of which is left open and garnished with crab roe or shiitake
mushroom. Sometimes with a gingery taste, shumai can also be flavored with rice wine, sesame oil, scallions or bamboo shoots.
Cha siu bao (叉烧包 chashao bao)
A cousin to baozi buns, cha siu bao feature steamed, fluffy exteriors contrasted by roughly chopped slow-roasted pork tenderloin
in a hoisin, oyster and soy sauce filling. Decadent and filling,
regional varieties of cha siu bao can feature baked versions, although steamed is the prevailing favorite.
Turnip cake (蘿蔔糕 luobo gao)
68
They might not sound appealing, but make no mistake, these fried
squares of shredded radish and rice flour are 100 percent comfort
food. The best examples of this home-style delicacy come with a
crisp, golden exterior, and can sometimes contain chunks of roasted
pork or Chinese sausage. True connoisseurs dip in XO Sauce.
feature » EAT/DRINK
Cheung fen（肠粉 chang fen）
These snowy white rice noodle sheets are filled with a variety of
fillings, the most common being roasted pork, beef, shrimp or vegetables. Upon serving, it’s customary to pour a seasoned soy sauce
dressing over them.
Lo mai gai (糯米鸡 nuomi ji)
Evocative for many Cantonese as a childhood comfort food, lo mai
gai are parcels of feel-good: sticky rice, chicken, Chinese mushrooms and salted egg yolk, steamed and wrapped in a lotus leaf.
Phoenix claws (凤爪 feng zhua)
AKA… chicken feet. Yes, we know they look ‘weird.’ Say what you will about their
appearance, phoenix claws are a quintessential part of dim sum. We’d go so far as
to say you haven’t really had a true dim sum experience until you’ve eaten them.
Happily, phoenix claws themselves don’t actually have a distinctive flavor – it’s the
sauce, which contains bean paste and soy. Why eat them? Chicken feet are an excellent source of nutrition, rich in calcium and collagen, and are linked to nerve regeneration, arthritis prevention and strengthening blood vessels. Moreover, they’re
delicious, so quit being squeamish and try them.
Spare ribs (排骨 pai gu)
You might not think of ribs as a dim sum course, but these
chopped and steamed spare ribs with black bean sauce are
an absolute classic. These mini chunks of rib are undeniably
moreish and juicy, imbued with garlic and black bean flavor.
The perfect protein antidote to the breadiness of a cha siu bao.
Egg tarts (蛋挞 dan ta)
First introduced to Hong Kong’s culinary palate during the 1940s
by Portuguese colonists in Macau, these richly flavored little tarts
have since become an iconic snack.

POP
Three on the Bund’s penthouse
American Brasserie
BY Betty Richardson
Shrimp and avocado cocktail RMB98
Banana sundae RMB108
Tomato burrata salad RMB118
T
hree on the Bund, AKA ‘Shanghai’s finest epicurean destination’ has added another restaurant to its layer cake of eateries, and this one’s right on top. But is it a crowning glory or a
casual little sister to its powerhouse neighbors Jean Georges, Mercato,
Chi-Q, Nougatine, Whampoa Club and Unico?
Replacing ailing predecessor New Heights, POP is styled as an
‘American brasserie,’ a seemingly new invention by the hand of Three
on the Bund. This term apparently alludes to a somewhat all-encompassing cuisine, touching base with more than a few French and
Mediterranean traditions. Given the propensity of Americans who
refer to their land as a ‘cultural melting pot,’ perhaps diversity is apt.
Starters opened with a fabulous tomato burrata salad with pine
nuts, pesto and balsamic vinegar (RMB118) fine sliced orange,
green, yellow and red heirloom tomatoes around a whole Solo Latte
burrata – same as used downstairs in Mercato.
Second, a shrimp and avocado cocktail with citrus dressing, for
its size slightly overpriced at RMB98. This is a shrimp cocktail as the
English know it – with a creamy Marie rose sauce (tomatoes, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice and pepper) rather than the
mayonnaise-free American variety.
Finally, a true American champion: Caesar salad (RMB68), with
poached egg, bacon, parmesan, golf ball-sized croutons and anchovies. Good value for money, the poached egg was an ingenious touch;
after mixing it imbued extra depth and escaped the cloying creaminess of over-dressed Caesar salad.
Spicy seared tuna with puy lentils, chorizo and piquillo peppers (RMB178) was healthy, well-sized and packed with flavor, a
choice for anyone seeking a diet-conscious entrée. Not befitting of an
'American brasserie,’ but hey, we’re not ones to knock good food.
Braised beef short-rib with risotto and mushrooms (RMB228)
paired with incredibly light truffle pureed potato (RMB38) it’s a
generous portion, but we preferred the glazed Iberico pork belly,
sweet potato and kale (RMB158) as we like our meat fatty. If lean is
72
your thing, go for the beef.
POP’s menu doesn’t have many of the things one might associate
with Americana: no ribs, pizza, hot dogs or wings here. They do have
steaks and burgers, which can be ‘surfed’ with a half lobster for
RMB340, or embellished à la ‘Rossini’ with a slab of foie gras and
truffle for RMB90. Steaks start at RMB200 for flank and round off at
RMB1080 for 850g bone-in ribeye (for two). Wagyu beef burger
with bacon, cheese, onion and fries comes in at RMB128.
Desserts were a fun, retro and pretense-free highlight of our
meal. Arguably the most ‘American’ items on the menu, the ice cream
sundae (RMB108) topped with bananas, chocolate sauce, brownie,
caramel popcorn and biscuit took us straight back to childhood, while
homemade ice cream (we chose coconut sorbet, pistachio and coffee) kept it classy. For those with monster appetites (or post-breakup
blues) go supersize with the jumbo sundae (eight flavors of ice
cream, marshmallow, berry compote, brownie, chocolate sauce, Oreos
and caramel popcorn, RMB288).
A slice of warm pecan pie with vanilla ice cream (RMB75)
proved a homey slice of USA; banana, chocolate and pistachio
doughnuts (RMB65) were an excellent accompaniment to our coffee.
We’re sure there will be critics of POP to call it out for not being
‘American enough’ to warrant its elaborate marketing campaign, but
overall POP is a place exceptionally hard to dislike.
Price: RMB4-500 per person, more with cocktails/steak. Plus 10 percent service charge.
Who’s going: Mix of locals, French businessmen, out-of-towners.
Good for: Dates, casual dinner, business dinner/lunch, city views.

fers local and
Cantonese grub
in a chic dining room.
We paid a visit to the
new Crystal Galleria
Mall branch during
lunch and it was surprisingly – compared to
the otherwise barren
mall – a full house.
Menus are full of feel-good options: baked shrimp with cheese
and chili in tomato sauce (RMB78) five hour slow-cooked pork
(RMB58) pork & shrimp burger (RMB38) and Tabasco omelets
(RMB25).
We kicked off with the 2°C chilled tofu (RMB32). A sizable slab
of cold tofu sat center stage, capped with crisps and surrounded by a
large and rather strange ring of mustard foam. Tofu itself was bland,
but the creamy foam gave it stronger flavor. The Brûlée chicken roll
(RMB68) tastes like a traditional lotus leaf chicken (荷叶包鸡) with
sticky rice inside. Cut into the crispy wrap and dip it in the three different sauces that come along. This was probably the high point of
our meal – definitely recommended.
Don’t bother with the smoked duck (RMB48) a fusion-y stab
at classic French dish duck à l’orange. This one’s orange sauce ruined the smoldering flavor of the duck. Steamed Chinese cabbages
(RMB38) proved a success, steeped in a pleasingly alcoholic yellow
wine sauce/soup with delicate slices of pork belly and pungent little
dried shrimp.
Still feeling hungry? Go for the flat pasta (RMB42) topped with
black pork and peanut sauce. We loved the chewy noodles and pork,
but almost drowned in the thick sauce.
Apart from requisite list of wine, beer and soda, special drinks
made an appearance, such as the pineapple mojito (RMB22), honey
jasmine tea (RMB18) and beer smoothies (RMB18). Rich and refreshing, the icy peanut smoothie (RMB22) was our favorite.

The Dog House
Gourmet hot dog stand opens at Soho Fuxing Plaza
BY Betty Richardson
Peking Dog
Reuben Dog
Cheese Dog
Korean Dog
Sichuan Dog
Tropical Dog
I
gnore the complainers – these days, you
can find anything in Shanghai (provided
you’re prepared to pay). Until recently,
however, there was a dearth of hot dogs.
The Dog House, managed by co-owner
Michael Huang, is hoping to change that.
They’ve developed a set of gourmet dogs
ranging from RMB35-45, sold from their
storefront at newly-opened Soho Fuxing
Plaza at Xintiandi station.
When it comes to toppings, The Dog
House borders on ‘unconventional.’ Perhaps
‘thematic’ might be a better description.
With 13 different offerings, the aim is to
craft dogs to please all parties, such as
a ‘Japanese Dog’ with wasabi mayo, a
‘Korean Dog’ with kimchi, a ‘Mexican’ with
chili – even a ‘Sichuan Dog’ with peppercorns and crushed spicy peanuts.
Ironically, the only one missing from this
United Nations of dogs was an All-American
original with fried onions and a drizzle of
ketchup and French’s.
According to Huang, if a customer rolls
up asking for a classic hot dog then he’ll do
it, but he doesn’t advertise them since “that’s
not really what The Dog House is about.”
Gourmet is the focus here, and don’t you
forget it.
Opinion was divided over which of the
six we tried won the day, with a surprise
standout being the Sichuan. Crunchy and flavorsome, Chef Mark Pierce sure didn’t hold
back any punches with a scattering of deepfried chilis, counteracted by fresh coriander.
74
Another winner was the cheese dog, which
won us over thanks to a generous layer of
housemade three cheese sauce, incidentally
the same atop the waffle-cut potato fries
(RMB22).
The ‘Peking’ dog, with hoisin sauce,
spring onions, cucumbers, and a sprinkling
of crispy duck skin, was surprisingly congruous combo and moreish. Another surprise
was the ‘Tropical’ dog, with a layer of
chopped fruit, a coconut mayonnaise, toasted
coconut and a wedge of lime. Unorthodox,
but quality ingredients and careful preparation pulled it off.
Ironically, the only
one missing from
this United Nations
of dogs was an AllAmerican with fried
onions and a drizzle
of ketchup and
French’s.
As is, The Dog House is definitely worth
a visit if you’re passing through Xintiandi
(it’s right by the metro station exit leading
to Soho Fuxing Plaza) and even a destination visit if you’re as ardent a hot dog fan
as us.
Don’t show up with a group larger than
three if you want a seat – it's a storefront
with just three stools and a bar, the majority
of business aimed at takeout. On our visit,
the overflow of customers lingered around
outside eating their dogs in the mall; the
size/abundance of toppings make walking
and eating with these things verging on hazardous.
NB. On our second visit we took our dogs
to go. This was an error – they don’t travel
well, becoming cold and soggy surprisingly
quickly. Best scarf 'em down then and there
while they’re hot.
Price: Hot dogs RMB35-45, sides RMB18+.
Who’s going: Passersby, for now.
Good for: American food, snacks, hot dogs.

Hello Miss Dong
Authentic Singaporean food on Yongkang Lu
BY Tongfei Zhang
W
hen Singaporean
foodie Fred Lin
met Miss Dong
from the Three Gorges
region of Hubei Province,
love was in the air. A few
years later, they opened
Singaporean restaurant
Hello Miss Dong, tucked
away on the quieter stretch
of Yongkang Lu.
Lin is also a food blogger (The Shanghai
Kid) and has somewhat an eye for good eats
around town. His Yongkang spot marries
flavors from both Singapore and the Three
Gorges region, and it’s not to be missed.
Appetizer sister’s tofu (RMB18) is a
must-order. Seen on almost every table,
the refreshing cold dish was created by the
owner’s sister, hence the name. Diced into
teeny pieces and soaked in a ‘secret sesame
oil sauce,’ it’s an unusual presentation and
works as an antidote to the spiciness of the
house specialty: chicken curry.
Signature Singaporean curry chicken
(RMB28/RMB58), another Lin family recipe,
sees two chicken thighs and wings alongside
several potatoes swimming in a lusciously
thick curry sauce. An excellent way to fill up
after a few Yongkang Lu beers.
Now for Miss Dong’s specialty: Three
Gorges smoked ribs stew (RMB68/pot).
Smoked throughout winter and usually
reserved for guests during festival celebrations, it only takes one bite to fall in love with
the ribs’ unique smoky taste.
Bak Kut Teh (RMB28/RMB48) is a clas-
sic herbal pork rib soup from
Singapore. It’s good for hearty
nourishment in the harsh seasons, with layers of fat beneath
the meat that melt into the aromatic herbal broth. Seasoned
and finely shredded potato fritata (RMB18/star, RMB28/sun)
was a bit greasy but damn good
dipped in chicken curry.
The menu is pretty short at the moment
but it won’t let you down. People say you
can’t live without nice food or love, and here
you find both.
Price: RMB80-100 per person

Ubuka
Luxury teppanyaki and sushi at Shanghai Centre
BY Betty Richardson
S
ay what you want about RMB180 allyou-can-eat/drink teppanyaki, but
there comes a point in life when something a little more refined is called for. That’s
where Ubuka steps in: a polished marble,
brushed steel, RMB7,000-sake-selling sushi
and teppanyaki spot in the Shanghai Centre.
The brainchild of Hong Kong proprietor
Dickson Wong, Ubuka aims to be a teppanyaki above the rest, with an exclusive grill
room seating approximately eight adjacent
to a main dining room serving à la carte sushi. Two menus are on offer: RMB680, which
gets you three amuse bouche, organic
salad, foie gras, caviar and steamed egg,
king prawn with hollandaise sauce, fried
codfish, wagyu snow beef or Boston red
lobster, grilled seasonal vegetables, eel
fried rice or udon, miso soup, and dessert.
Step up to the RMB1,080 menu, and
receive all the above with the addition of
seafood and avocado salad, uni instead
of foie gras, a sashimi basket and a bigger
serving of beef or Canadian green baby lobster. RMB400 is a pretty steep step, but the
quality fresh sashimi platter, including a particularly hefty chunk of otoro (fatty tuna)
makes it worthwhile. Diners of the lesserpriced menu will not leave feeling hungry –
both sets are huge.
Apart from the sashimi, Ubuka’s teppanyaki dishes are ‘fusion,’ particularly the fried
codfish and king prawn with an admittedly
‘French’ sauce. It was back to the Japanese
pantheon of teppanyaki with an excellent
unagi (freshwater eel) egg fried rice complimented by a peppering of kyurizuke.
A final flourish was an inspired miso
soup with head of king prawn. Boasting an
incredible, ocean-y umami hit, the flavors of
this resourceful dish were incredibly deep
while remaining light.
Ubuka aims to
be a teppanyaki
above the rest;
an exclusive grill
room seating just
eight.
In the main dining room, Ubuka serves
a la carte mid-range and premium sushi,
sukiyaki, tempura and grilled dishes starting
from around RMB200 per person (and steeply upwards from there). Flashy and sleek,
Ubuka is a good place to consider for out of
town guests, business dinners and hot dates.
Price: From RMB200-1080 per person.
Who’s going: Hotel clientele, well-heeled
locals, businessmen.
Good for: Seafood lovers, Japanese food,

Bonobo
Fun arcade-themed Dakota successor
BY Betty Richardson
D
akota (that American spot in front of Monkey Champagne)
is dead, long live Bonobo! Having died a quiet death last
year, Dakota has been stripped bare and emerged as a fun
arcade-themed Asian fusion eatery called Bonobo. Bonobo – Monkey
Champagne, unifying primate theme, get it?
Interiors-wise, we can’t offer higher praise. We love the custom
artwork from local designer The Orange Blowfish, with references
to gaming culture in neon light artworks and coasters. This vibrant
color-scheme is a refreshing change from ‘urban industrial chic’ that
has plagued Shanghai’s trendy establishments.
Food-wise there are consistency issues, which we hope will be
ironed out in time. Menus are populated with trendy-sounding fusion
dishes derived from Taiwanese, American, Korean and Japanese cuisines. Out of our group, opinions were divided as to what worked. We
imagine a similar phenomenon awaits your visit but luckily, Bonobo’s
prices are not high enough to leave you reeling from order mistakes
(except the beef short rib – more on that later).
For starters, a trio of housemade Korean pickles (RMB28).
Slightly watery and not pungent enough, the kimchi could have done
with more of a spicy kick, although this milder version may well suit
those with sensitive palates.
Tuna tartar with avocado and herb salad (RMB78) was weak
but fixable. Fresher tuna, less mushy avocado and a lighter sprinkling
of dressing would turn this lifeless dish around.
Asian slaw with crispy ramen and kimchi dressing (48) was
moreish and textured, definitely recommended. Another winner was
Brussel sprouts with XO/Iberico sauce (RMB35) ironically the only
dish to unanimously please. Exceptionally crunchy chicharrones
with ‘pixie dust’ and Sriracha mayo (RMB38) followed. A perfect accompaniment to beer, these are best avoided by those with dentures.
Ramen with pork belly, deviled egg and ‘three-day broth’
(RMB38): a shallow-flavored broth lacked the viscous opacity of
proper ramen, and the deviled egg was a bizarre touch. However, a
generous slab of pork belly made this little dish decent value.
More of the aforementioned pork belly featured in a bao-style
bun with pork neck and Asian slaw. RMB42 gets you two – both
delicious.
A low point of the meal was roasted beef short rib with herb
salad and beef jus, an expensive mistake at RMB238. Served in prechopped cubes, an apparently decorative rib bone struck as largely
superfluous. Sharp little slivers of dried beef in the salad didn’t work
with either.
Bonobo is also experimenting with skewers, which range from
RMB6 for veggies and Korean rice cakes up to RMB22 for wagyu
brisket. Unfortunately these come with a too-sweet sauce and generic-tasting seasoning. Hopefully a few tweaks in the recipe will sort it
out.
Happily, cocktails are definitely a strong suit. Try the shiso
delicious (RMB72) cocktail and a pitcher of Taiwanese Sangria
(RMB128). Ultimately, we'll return to Bonobo when they've shaken
off their teething problems.

La Pedrera’s Chef David Ureta
On his award-winning paella, lobster and the importance of tasting
BY Betty Richardson
E
Our paellas are a timetested formula; we always
put the same amounts of
salt, paprika and vegetables.
We’re working to build a
loyal base of customers who
come back time and time
again. We might change our
menus seasonally, but our
core dishes – gazpachos, paella and so on – are always
the same traditional flavors.
xecutive chef of La
Pedrera, David Ureta
has been cooking for
almost three decades and
has worked at restaurants
the world over. Here he recounts some of his culinary
experiences, and explains
why you should never knock
food before you’ve tried it…
I was born in Catharez, in
Spain, but never returned.
My father was from Bilbao.
At the age of seven I moved
to Salamanca in central
Spain, and then later back to
the north to study.
The main thing is to understand the customer’s
preferences. If a person
says “I don’t want salt” to a
waiter, he goes to the kitchen and relays the message
to the head chef - maybe the
chef is busy at that moment,
and doesn’t hear. Then the
food comes with salt in
it – that’s not good, and it’s
important we respect the
customer’s tastes.
I used to cook seven to
eight months per year, and
the rest of the time I’d spend
travelling and eating. I studied until age 20 at culinary
school, and travelled around
the world afterwards. First
to Salamanca, and later to
Majorca, Seville, Barcelona.
After that it was on to
Australia and London.
I love lobster so much I
wrote a book about it. It’s
my favorite dish to cook; to
me, the best quality in the
world is in Majorca where I
used to work.
In a new place I like to
spend two months learning about the food. Being a
chef, I love to eat at restaurants in foreign countries to
learn what the norm is there
– never look down on food
or say you don’t like it until
you’ve tried it.
The secret to knowing
good food is to try a lot,
and try the cheapest and
most expensive foods equally.
You need to go to the best
restaurant to understand
what the ‘gold standard’ is.
Even with a simple food like
pizza, you have to eat it in the street and in the high-end places to
truly understand.
I love to eat at restaurants in foreign
countries – never look down on food
until you’ve tried it.
I worked in a Japanese sushi restaurant in Sydney, Australia.
Every day the boss would bring me things from the sea, and would
ask “how is this?” At that point, I didn’t know what was good or bad –
the taste was the same. Eventually, after some time trying, I began to
develop a mental ‘flavor map’ and became able to judge the good from
the bad.
I once cooked a lobster
dish that moved a friend
to tears. I invited her to my
house to eat, she said “sure,
but you can’t make lobster
better than my grandmother.” So I decided to cook a
totally different recipe. We
were in front of the beach
with a bottle of wine and the
sun upon us. She started to
cry because she said, “In this
moment, I have everything
I want.”
Our paella is so good it won awards in Shanghai. Our chef, Oscar, is
in charge of that. We make it Valencia style, which is the true, original
style. They don’t add onions or seafood, only meat. A lot of people
might know it with seafood, but the original is with meat. In Valencia
we add chicken, pork and sometimes rabbit.

Fusion
Superclub opens in Xintiandi
BY Betty Richardson
O
pen after a long wait, Fusion is a new
EDM club occupying the space of
G+. Flashy, futuristic and decked out
with lavish audio and electronic equipment,
the club is a jewel in the Sino Group crown,
which acquired the space along with major
Shanghai clubs (M1NT, MYST, LINX and Diva)
to become the largest monopoly in the city.
Flashy, futuristic,
decked out with
lavish audio and
electronic equipment,
Fusion is a jewel in
the Sino Group crown.
As such, all the hallmarks of a Sino Group
club are present: blue and purple lasers
abound, dozens of dice-pounding tables
topped with iced Champagne bottles, girls
in bandage dresses. Paths connect tables,
lined with life-size metallic statues of prostrated naked women wearing afro hairdo’s
inset with TV screens. But a 250-PAX dance
floor is the beating heart of Fusion. Flanked
on one side by a bar, DJ booth on the other,
party-goers are shadowed by an enormous
LED screen, the panels of which slide open
to a larger stage. LED screens also line the
ceiling, with mechanical floor sections that
become a split-level stage.
Not that there aren’t plenty of places to
hide – Fusion benefits from smaller, covered
nooks with tables perfect for 3-4 people,
as well as five private rooms. Each room
features a different animal theme (the largest of which includes an enormous monkey
king skull) and can be linked up to a KTV
system or the main DJ set for a private party.
Booking for these rooms starts at RMB5,000:
ot too shabby, considering the size. Inside
the main party area, two premium elevated
tables situated right next to the DJ booth
start at RMB10,000, seating approximately
15. Other tables can be reserved from
RMB3,000.
It might not be ready now, but upstairs a
terrace is under construction. With breathtaking views of old school lane houses on
one side, and skyscrapers on the other, this
place looks to be the spot to catch a pleasant
breeze away from the writhing crowds.
With the high-end sound and visual
systems they’ve got, expect regular international big-name guest DJs. Regular music will
be provided by DJ Chill, long time collaborator with the Sino Group. He’ll be cranking out
a mix of EDM, deep house, trance and so on.
Price: Beers start at RMB45 and cocktails go
for RMB75+, bottles from RMB900.
Who’s going: Split between locals and expats.
Good for: Clubbing, EDM fans, dancing.

raft beer and vintage vinyl: could God
himself have conceived a greater combination? Who knows, but at any rate,
Sacco (former manager of 390) has opened
Uptown Records n’ Beer on Yongfu Lu, the
name a nod to R&B label Uptown Records.
Part beer and liquor store, part record
shop and part bar, Uptown is a place for
those blessed with good taste in music and/
or beer to casually convene and indulge in
both.
A compact little bar with five stools and
cabinets stocked with bottled beers, Uptown
is a great place to pre-drink or pick up booze
en route to a party. As the name suggests,
there’s a nice selection of records for sale
too, ranging from RMB30 up to RMB100 for
more coveted editions. Think jazz classics
like Charlie Mingus, Thelonious Monk, funk,
soul and a smattering of other retro classics.
Grown up, chilled and relatively quiet,
you can rely on Uptown to have an infinitely better soundtrack than your average
Shanghai bar – and for that, it gets a spot on
our pre-gaming playlist.
Price: Bottled beer RMB15-28, bottled wine
& spirits RMB165+.

for those blessed
with good taste in
music and/or beer to
casually convene and
indulge in both.
I
t might look like a teensy Yongkang
Lu bistro from the outside, but inside,
Gilligan’s pub is packing heat. Split
over two layers of an old school Shanghai
shop house, this little watering hole can
fit about 60 at maximum capacity. With
IPA craft beers on tap and NBA basketball
on the TV, it strikes as a low-key, laddish
hangout spot.
But there’s more to it than that.
Gilligan’s also hosts a weekly poetry session for any would-be bards in Shanghai
(Sundays, 7pm) along with a surprising
menu of Sichuan food. We’ve long held
suspicions that the marriage of beer and
the heavy, flaming heat of Sichuan dishes
would be a happy one – even the staunchest renouncers of the numbing peppers
have been known to munch on those spicy
peanuts that come along free when you
drink at Yongkang Lu bars.
For the more conventional pub dweller, Gilligan’s also stocks Tuck Shop Pies for
RMB55 (more on those at www.tuckshoppies.com) and on Sundays hosts a hog
roast: 250g bbq pork, Yorkshire pudding,
baked potato and vegetables for RMB65.
Beers start at RMB35 for Asahi, and
round off at RMB60 for Brew Dog punk
IPA. Cocktails come in at RMB55, with
‘real’ (imported) Red Bull and vodka for
RMB40. That plus poetry night certainly
sounds like a dangerous combination…
Price: RMB35 for beer and wine (daily
happy hour 2-8pm).
Who’s going: Aussies and Kiwis, local
poets.
Good for: Casual drinks, pies, beer, value.

Belgian Beer Café Leuven
European class in a glass
BY Betty Richardson
N
ow gentrified thanks to the behemoth
Kerry Centre, Tongren Lu used to be
a far cry from what it is now – only
recently has an influx of restaurants, cafés
and boutiques begun populating this central
Jing’an street. One of its most noteworthy
establishments is a branch of The Belgian
Beer Café (also known as BBC), an international chain of traditional Belgian beer bars,
known throughout the world for bringing
premium brews to the table.
Classic heritage
BBC has a heritage that traces back to
1920’s Leuven in the Netherlands, and – despite now boasting more than 60 international outlets – that history still runs strong.
In the Netherlands, classic beer cafés are
community hubs where friends and families
come together to celebrate the fine art of
Belgian beer making.
Built from dark, masculine wood and vintage beer posters, BBC has a concise menu of
brews on offer: Stella Artois, Hoegaarden,
Leffe Blond and Leffe Brune on draft. For
something a little darker, try the Hoegaarden
Grand Cru: At 8.7 percent alcohol, it can give
your beer-fueled revelry a firm kick-start.
Eat like a Belgian
Not that any sensible Belgian would drink
on an empty stomach. BBC also has a selection of Belgium’s other famous exports on the
menu, such as moules-frites (mussels with
skinny French fries) Emmenthal cheese croquettes, waffles and of course, real Belgian
chocolate mousse.

FEATURE
Found in translation
A new app promises fast, spot-on translating
By Erik Crouch
P
ersonally, I love bad translations. When I see a sign pleading
“Do Not Disturb: Tiny Grass is Dreaming,” my day just got a bit
better. Most of these botched phrases are the result of someone putting a bit too much faith in automated online translators to
get the job done (another favorite: a sign whose Chinese read “Dining
Hall,” and whose English read “Translate Server Error”).
If you want a translation done properly, you need a human.
Someone who understands nuance, emphasis and, well, language.
That’s where Lipsync comes in.
Lipsync is an app that pairs users with tested human translators
who are able to supply high quality translations on the fly. It’s like
having a team of polyglot friends who are never more than an inch
away from their phones.
The app launches in private beta this month, and we caught up
with founder Michael Park and talked about how Lipsync came to be.
The Motivation
I’ve traveled, lived and worked across Asia and Europe over the past
decade. I frequently found myself in situations where I needed to call
a friend up to sort out some quagmire I’d created for myself.
This was great, but I felt guilty about constantly asking my friends
for help, and they weren’t always available to chat.
I was personally willing to pay for on-demand assistance, if it existed. It occurred to me that I probably wasn’t the only one.
The problem
Machine translators (Google, Microsoft, Baidu, etc.) are pretty ineffective for Asian languages. Anyone who has been an expat in Asia probably knows this first-hand.
Asian languages are so contextual and indirect that, very often, a
human translator’s job isn’t only to bring your words from A to B, but
also to communicate a whole host of implications and contexts.
There is a great story about an expat at a Japanese tea house. The
shopkeeper told him that there was no sugar available for his tea. The
expat changed his order to a coffee and, when he received it, there
were two packets of sugar next to the cup.
In Japanese culture, you don’t add sugar to green tea. So the
shopkeeper was trying to save the expat from making a faux pas, but
ultimately confused the situation (or so the story goes).
If the expat had access to translations that made it clear, “Yes, I
know you don’t normally add sugar to this, but…” then there wouldn’t
have been a mix-up.
Building the app
The translators and users who
have signed up to our beta
have been incredibly passionate, excited and generous with
their time and feedback. It’s
been a joy to build a tool with
(and for) this group of people.
The investor community
has responded very positively
as well. Over the past six to
eight weeks, we’ve been approached by interested parties
both in the form of individual
angel investors as well as venture capitalists.
We are aiming to get a private beta out before the end of this month, and we plan to raise a seed
round of funding in three to four months.
Machine translators are pretty
ineffective for Asian languages.
Anyone who has been an expat in
Asia probably knows this first-hand.
The launch
We will be launching to a private beta audience comprised mostly of
expatriates in China. We would like to work with this niche audience
of China expats before scaling to other markets.
In the longer run we are interested in the market of outbound
Chinese and Asian tourists traveling both regionally and in farther
flung destinations like Europe and North America.
Ultimately, we hope to develop machine learning technologies
that can fill the vacuum where companies like Google and Microsoft
have, so far, failed – creating accurate and contextually aware translations.
What can we do?
We’d love for That’s Shanghai
readers to take part!
Translators and users can request a private invitation on our
website. If you feel particularly
compelled to get into the early
private beta period, feel free to
reach out directly at info@lipsync.
io. Please provide a link to your
LinkedIn profile if you have one,
and tell us a bit about yourself.

Recognizing leaders in China
Help save 10 lives by attending the Rotary Leadership Awards
By Erik Crouch
C
ongenital heart disease is the most
common birth defect and the biggest
killer of children in China. Annually,
it is responsible for the deaths of more than
300,000 children worldwide. The Rotary
Club, one of the largest humanitarian service
organizations, has taken a leading role in
China’s fight against heart disease.
Rotarians around the world have saved
more than 15,000 children in 67 countries
through the ‘Gift of Life’ program. For more
than a decade, the local Rotary Clubs of
Shanghai and Beijing have worked to give
more than 800 children the operations they
need to live long, productive and healthy lives.
As many children in need live in rural
areas, Rotary Clubs in China have sponsored
medical busses equipped with diagnostic
equipment, and have helped rural children
travel to high-quality hospitals throughout
the country. The Rotary Club has received
tremendous amounts of praise from families
they have helped over the years.
“We came from the countryside. We
were under a lot of pressure and we had no
money,” said a father of one boy who was diagnosed with congenital heart disease, aged
8 months, “Thank you very much to the kind
people willing to help poor families with sick
children like us.”
This May, achievements like this will
be celebrated, and funded, at the Rotary
Leadership Awards. Held on May 22 at the
Swissotel Grand Shanghai, the ceremony
raises funds for the evening’s award winners,
the Gift of Life Program and the Rotary Youth
Leadership Program.
“The purpose of this event is two-fold,”
says Frank Yih, the president of Rotary Club
Shanghai. “First, the event raises funds for
families who only know despair. And second,
it recognizes corporate, non-profits and individuals who are making a difference in communities around China.”
The Rotary Club of Shanghai aims
to raise RMB400,000 at next month’s
Leadership Awards – RMB80,000 will go as
prizes to award winners, RMB50,000 to the
Rotary Youth Leadership Program and the
remainder will go to the Gift of Life program.
“The club estimates it will be able to fund
10 heart surgeries from the funds raised at
the event,” says Yih.
The Shanghai Rotary Club is supported
by KEA, the American, British, German,
European and Canadian chambers of commerce and has no political or religious affiliation. It holds weekly meetings in Shanghai.
Attend awards dinner to make a world of
difference for children in China!
// May 22 at the Swissotel in Shanghai. Tickets are RMB1,200/
person or RMB10,000/table. Contact Edith Du at edithdu@

Slumber party season
When eight-year-old girls do everything but slumber
By Trevor Marshallsea
T
hey say all your formative, life-establishing
years are a pathway of
preparation for the day you
finally step up and play your
part in human evolution. This
is the phrase I use – usually
when cleaning vomit or some
such mess – to put a grandiose
hue on the fairly commonplace
event of becoming a parent.
When I was a younger, less
tired man, as a daily journalist I sweated under deadlines,
occasionally grilled national
leaders and went toe-to-toe
with the odd angry sportsman/national icon.
But none of this came
close to readying me for the
awesome power, the fury, the
heaving human mass of energy
that is an eight-year-old girl’s
sleepover birthday party.
There’s been a glut of
them lately. Our Evie’s friends
all seem to have been born in
the same month. Whatever it
was that triggered we parents
to get jiggy with each other
in mid-2006 – my money’s on the World
Cup – this Spring Festival was slumber party
month. This group of girls bounced from
party to party for several weekends, a bit like
Regency-era aristocrats through the London
social season, though a bit more like a crowd
of pill-crazed youths going from rave to rave.
Our turn came late in the season. Hosting
kids’ parties is stressful, but in my case, the
pressure was really on. The previous weekend’s bash was high-society indeed. There
was nail-polish, make-up, hairdressing – it
was effectively a makeover sleepover, I guess
in case these eight-year-old girls were just
so bored with their ‘look.’ There was even
a printed menu, featuring “shrimp in pink
sauce” and a cheese plate!
All very well for them. I made it clear to
Evie the menu for her party would feature
photos of pizzas and a big phone number.
This was partly because, adding more pressure, I’d be the only adult around for most of
it, my wife having to work until the evening.
Thankfully it was quickly clear the girls were
just intent on partying like it was 2009.
It also helped that our party was a select
affair, with four guests. This is because Evie
is an awkward little thing with no friends.
Harry Potter movie to watch
proved only one thing: you
should never let kids decide
which Harry Potter movie to
watch. The debate took hours,
and would still be going on had
I not finally drawn a number
out of a hat in what I excitedly
marketed as “The Great Harry
Potter Lottery.”
By now it was getting
late, but the cake would have
to wait for the pizza. I’m not
sure many parenting manuals
recommend stuffing kids with
cake and icing at 9pm, but this
was arguably unavoidable.
Unarguably, it really gave the
party a late kick-along.
Intent viewing of the
movie gave way to – well, a
running and screaming redux,
as the kids telepathically called
together a noise-a-thon. I also
hadn’t realized how much
eight-year-old girls can sweat!
But all went quiet for The
Arrival of the Rude Word – a
part in the movie when someone says “the B-word.” This
sparked a lively debate on the spelling of
‘bitch,’ which then, in a switch only eightyear-olds can master, became a debate about
the existence of God. Then, the sublime craziness returned, until it was time for the ridiculous – trying to herd this lot into a shower.
“Do you want a shower?” my wife asked
an American girl unused to Australian accents.
“WHAT?” the girl screamed. “DO I
WANNA SHOUT?”
“NO – A SHOWER,” my wife had to yell
back.
“OH. NO THANKS. BUT CAN I SHOUT?”
We told her she could, evidently.
Finally, the mob was corralled in one
bedroom, for more shouting. I’m not sure
when they dropped off, as I was asleep before they were. But I think they had a good
time, though I wonder what they told their
folks: “We played darts, and the lottery, I
learned how to spell ‘bitch’ and that there’s
no God.”
The group of girls bounced from
party to party, a bit like Regencyera aristocrats through the London
social season, though a bit more like
a crowd of pill-crazed youths going
from rave to rave.
88
No, she’s great, but a few people were
away for Chinese New Year, we had limited
space and… who would want more than four
guests anyway?! (The sleepover after ours
hosted 13 kids! I’d have fled that after an
hour, solo host or not.) In any case, it seems
five girls is more than enough to cross the
threshold for madness and noise.
Our theme being Harry Potter, Evie
wanted “pin the tail on the Hippogriff,” which
I learned is a mythical creature that is halfhorse, half-Newt Gingrich. We thought it
might be fun instead to throw the tail at the
Hippogriff, so I bought a dartboard. Once
the game was over, the kids removed the
Hippogriff and just played darts, possibly
unaware it’s not usually played by cute little
girls but by fat beer-swilling Englishmen in
pubs. As they excitedly hurled sharp metal
spikes through the air, they were as happy as
I was terrified.
After a treasure hunt, which prompted
screaming and running even though these
girls weren’t actually competing with anyone, it was pizza and movie time. The pizza
was easy. Each girl requested Margherita, except one, who asked for cheese, not knowing
it was also called “Margherita.”
However, letting the kids choose which

Don’t be
rash!
Dealing with hives
By Dr. Chen Lei
H
ives, medically known as urticaria, is a vascular reaction of
the skin characterized by the appearance of red, swollen
marks and is associated with severe itching, stinging or pricking sensations.
What causes hives?
The hives rash is typically an allergic reaction. Sometimes it’s caused
by drugs like penicillin, vaccines, aspirin or even quinine. Food that
has animal protein, mushrooms, berries, cocoa, tomatoes, onions
or garlic, as well as some food additives can also cause urticaria. All
kinds of chronic viral infections, physical factors, animal and plant
factors, diseases and others can also lead to this condition. People under emotional stress may experience more severe urticaria.
The hives
rash is
typically
an allergic
reaction.
What are the symptoms?
• Areas of red or white welts (wheals), usually on the face, body, arms
or legs
• Welts that vary in size, change shape or appear and fade repeatedly
as the reaction runs its course
• Itching, which can be severe
• Swelling that causes pain or burning, especially inside the throat
and around the eyes, cheeks, lips, hands, feet and genitals
• A tendency for signs and symptoms to flare with triggers such as
heat, exercise or stress
• A tendency for symptoms to recur frequently and unpredictably,
sometimes over months or years
• Chronic urticaria complications include difficulty breathing and serious allergic reactions
What’s the treatment?
The key is to find the source of the allergy. If the source can’t be located (or can’t be avoided) then taking daily antihistamine pills can
help to block the symptom-producing release of histamine. Although
systemic corticosteroids are effective in suppressing most cases of
chronic urticaria, their long-term side effects make extended use impractical. Tepid or cold showers/baths can also help. Topical camphor
and menthol can also provide relief.
When should you see a doctor?
If you have severe hives, if they don’t respond to treatment or continue to appear for several days, you should see a doctor. If you feel
dizzy, your tongue or throat is swollen, or you have severe chest tightness or trouble breathing, seek emergency medical care.

final place on the podium in his first drive for Ferrari.
Race day has seen a marked improvement in terms of atmosphere over the

With more than 300 years’ history spread over 100 different countries, famed Japanese
soy sauce brand Kikkoman more than an excellent seasoning: It’s an icon.
An indispensable ingredient in Japanese and Chinese cuisines, the taste of soy
sauce finds its place in Western kitchens too - from burgers to stews, salads and even
desserts, this versatile seasoning fits almost anywhere.
Modern Chinese restaurant Kamonka in the Cloud Nine Shopping Mall has always
used Kikkoman as its secret weapon. Here, Kikkoman is used by renowned chefs from
both China and Japan to impress fastidious diners.
Topped with scented sesame oil and Kikkoman soy sauce, chilled deep-fried
eggplants (RMB22) exude an enticing aroma with a deep umami flavor. Chef Okuda
is skilled at both Italian and Japanese cuisines: His innovative take on Italian-style
turbot (RMB98/jin) is highly recommended. Using a traditional steaming method, the
giant fish swims in a mixed sauce of Italian balsamic vinegar and Kikkoman soy sauce,
capped with mountains of fresh Chinese onion and coriander.
Chef Igarashi brings out new, original flavors from familiar foods by using seasonal ingredients and masterful cooking techniques. Try the spring rolls stuffed with
broccoli and peeled shrimps (RMB28/three) and dip them into the stir-fried seasoning
made from Kikkoman soy sauce and salt. It gives a unique taste to the seemingly common spring roll: Savory and very delicious.
Executive Chef of Kamonka, Zhang Jian, showed his expertise with a signature braised pork in brown sauce (RMB68) that was devoured soon after
it reached the table. Big chunks of pork are cooked along with quail eggs
in rich and luscious soy sauce. It is malty and sweet without being greasy;
this specialty aces the fusion of Nippon heritage with a classic Shanghai
delicacy.
Whatever the dish, Kikkoman always finds a way to suit the palate
thanks to its high quality and authentic flavor. Clean, clear and bright
reddish brown, the soy sauce that sees over 300 aromatic constituents
is made naturally – that means no additives, no preservatives. Suitable
for both Eastern and Western cuisines, this bottle of all-purpose umami
flavor is simply all you need.

Lily’s Antique
A house with Art and Soul
As one of Shanghai’s most well-known antique dealers and furniture shops, Lily’s
Antique has transformed from its role of simply selling old wares to become a genuine
preserver of culture, combining ancient Chinese antiques and modern pieces.
Spanish designer Carlos Baladia joined the team around 15 years ago, and he
realized that many contemporary designs were inspired by simple and clean Chinese
antique pieces. He also noticed that many Chinese customers preferred modern Italian
or European-style furniture rather than Chinese models. Baladia decided to teach people to appreciate the beautiful items from their own culture, while staying modern. He
thinks that this unique attitude gives homes a very particular soul that describes the
personality of the owner.
The bright and sizable Lily’s Antique shop is located in the heart of the posh Biyun
community in Pudong, and is stocked to the brim with fine furniture and fabrics hailing from China, India, Indonesia, Pakistan and other locales. An array of home accessories such as vases, mirrors, rugs and textiles are presented in a “mix and match” style
that honors the best of both East and West.
Some pieces are all-wood reproductions, which are both trendy and affordable.
One of the best-sellers is a lattice cabinet (RMB13,390), reproduced using complicated
lattice patterns designed in the Ming Dynasty. Chic and modern, it is a perfect fusion of
modernity and the past.
Between 20 and 30 percent of the pieces on sale were customized at Lily’s
Antique, making it more than just a reseller of antique home goods, but a store unified around a central concept. With its eclectic collection and consistently interesting
goods, Lily’s Antique is our go-to spot for high-quality, conversation-piece home wares
and furniture. TFZ // 1037 Biyun Lu, by Huangyang Lu 碧云路1037号, 近黄杨路 (5019

Hong Kong is renowned for its excellent seafood – diverse, flavorful dishes made with
fresh ingredients and a masterful use of spices and sauces. It’s not easy to find such
cuisine in Shanghai, but Ai Mei’s Executive Chef Peter Cheung, a Hong Kong native, has
been able to produce a menu that truly delivers.
Located on the 8th floor of the Royal Méridien, just off People’s Square, Ai Mei features a stunning aquarium, plentiful seating and a stunning view of the city. Once we
settled in, we dived into the deep-fried crab claw (RMB196) – big tasty chunks of crab
meat, each about the size of an egg, fried to perfection.
Continuing with crab, we went with the wok-fried roe crab with vermicelli in clay
pot (RMB226). This was one of the highlights of the meal: A spicy mix of ‘street-food
style’ vermicelli with a hearty use of spices, topped with a massive crab, whose legs and
body ooze a rich, deep-red roe.
Up next, a brief step away from seafood with roasted sliced suckling pig (RMB566/
RMB966). This is a dish of many textures – chewy slices of bread, fatty cuts of pork and
crunchy suckling pig skin. The combination is rich, crispy and utterly toothsome.
We followed that with the wok-fried cauliflower and shrimp with XO sauce in clay
pot (RMB116). The organic cauliflower is fresh and flavorsome, and the XO sauce packs
a spicy, tangy punch. To keep our shrimp-streak going, we went with the prawn balls in
two flavors with green vegetables (RMB186), a double serving of shrimp on one plate –
half with a tangy, sweet and sour sauce, and half dipped in a creamy mayonnaise. The
flavors play well together: one rich, one light, both delicious.
The meal wouldn’t be complete without lobster, and Ai Mei doesn’t disappoint.
The wok-fried Boston lobster with spring onion and ginger (RMB466) is an overflowing
plate of lobster meat soaked in a succulent, creamy sauce and topped with refreshing
vegetables.
We accompanied these dishes with picks from Ai Mei’s expansive tea collection.
High-end pu’ers, oolongs and greens abound, served by the cup or in elegant glass
teapots.
Executive Chef Peter Cheung knows what he’s doing – that’s probably the reason
he was chosen to prepare food for state leaders at the 2011 APEC conference in Hawaii.
His Ai Mei menu packs a serious punch of flavors, and is creative and interesting while
staying authentic to its Hong Kong roots. A must-try.
For a limited time, Ai Mei will be offering a promotion for groups of 6 – 12 people:
34 percent off the bill for parties who order one item from the Hong Kong a la carte
menu and other dishes from the standard menu.

ART BEIJING 2015
Arguably the Mainland’s most prominent and influential art fair, Art Beijing returns to
the capital with 160 galleries and exhibitors displaying their work across 25,000 square
feet. With sections for both classical and contemporary art (as well as a ‘Design Beijing’
hall) many of the mainland’s most respected artists will be represented, alongside some
of the country’s up-and-coming talents.
Last year, Art Beijing attracted 50,000 visitors; making it larger than many of
its most renowned counterparts in the West (the godfather of art fairs, Art Basel in
Switzerland, attracted only 10,000 more). But it is also far more accessible than many of
its Asian rivals. With plenty of low- and mid-range price tags, this isn’t just a playground
for rich art dealers.
Art Beijing’s Director, Dong Mengyang tells That’s: “The biggest change over the
past 10 years [of Art Beijing] is that lots of investors are moving out and instead, many
individual customers are coming in. That is the right way for the art collection industry
to thrive. Investors were just trading the artworks for more money. Now, a group of
people have emerged as real collectors.”
Be one of them. Aside from getting yourself up to Beijing, all you’ll need is
RMB100 for a ticket. And even if you’re not in the market for something new to hang
above the mantelpiece, the three-day event invariably offers a good chance to absorb
a bit of culture and rub shoulders with the art world’s great and good. // May 1-3 (VIP

WORLD CUP CHINA?
Plans afoot to host planet's greatest sporting show
BY IAN WALKER
Former England international goalkeeper, Ian Walker played for Tottenham Hotspur, Leicester City and
Bolton Wanderers. In 2012 he moved to China to become goalkeeper coach of Shanghai Shenhua, before
crossing the city divide to join Shanghai SIPG in 2014. Follow him on Twitter and Weibo @IanWalks1.
L
ast month Prince William paid a visit to
China and met with President Xi Jinping.
Sitting in Beijing’s Great Hall of the People,
and after getting the formalities out of the way (an
official invitation from the Queen to Xi to make
a state visit later this year… yawn) the two got
down to discussing what men across the world
really enjoy talking about: Football.
“I also gather you’re quite a football fan,”
Aston Villa supporter Wills said to Xi. The president responded that he wanted China to learn
from traditionally strong footballing nations, such
as England. Seems it wasn’t just polite diplomatic
chitchat, either; two weeks later China released
a sweeping new policy document that seeks to
make development of football the nation’s sporting priority, stating it would “proactively apply to
host the World Cup.”
Personally, I think it would be fantastic
if China did get the World Cup. To do so, they
basically need to put together a package to prove
to FIFA’s Executive Committee that they’re a
worthy host nation. (Or perhaps a number of
‘packages,’ if you are to believe the accusations
swirling around the decision to award the 2022
tournament to Qatar…)
Since moving here in 2012, I have already
noticed a few changes in football development,
with a number of academies springing up. That is
a start, because only if you invest in the grassroots
will you see the benefits. I know a lot of things
in China are instant, and they want everything
now, but just throwing money at clubs is not the
solution. Development is something that needs to
be viewed as a long term project.
I think the government is getting that, which
is what makes this plan for reform so interesting;
a ten-year, 50-measure directive that includes
building two more national football training
centers and establishing 50,000 special football
schools by 2025. If that is implemented, hopefully
you’ll start seeing a lot more talented Chinese
players coming through.
And eventually, that generation will reach
the national team. Obviously, the population of
the country being what it is, China should have a
really strong side. I think it is going to take at least
20 years before that happens, but “a journey of
a thousand miles…” and all that – if they do the
right thing now, then the future looks bright for
Chinese football.
As for infrastructure, China has already got
a lot of good stadiums, and, as we saw from the
Olympics, they would get the tournament right and
make it spectacular. I hope they go for it, and I hope
they get it. And if the goal is to increase people
getting involved in football, what better way than
hosting the greatest sporting show on the planet?
Chinese Super League
Things could not have started much better for
Shanghai’s two big teams, my old side Shenhua
and current team SIPG. With three wins out of
three each, they are the only clubs in the CSL to
retain 100 percent records, and sit atop the table.
It is exciting for the fans, and we have seen
the crowds swelling in response. A record 30,000
plus made it to the Shanghai Stadium to see SIPG
beat Jiangsu on the opening day of the season,
and both sides have enjoyed attendances well
over 20,000 for every home game.
Let’s see who can keep up that momentum.
Obviously at SIPG we want to be top dogs at the
end of the season, but Shenhua have a good side,
so it is going to be interesting. Especially the first
derby between us on May 9 - it was big enough
last year, but with the start both teams have had,
now it will be huge.
