Editor's Note
“Never was anything great
achieved without danger.”
So said Niccolò Machiavelli,
one of the great minds of
the Renaissance. Of course,
he was talking about how to
successfully rule your realm
by crushing opposition and
dominating neighboring
states, but it applies equally
well to this month’s cover
story: urban extreme sports.
Skateboarding, parkour
and BMX all came into being
as part of a counterculture
desire to do something
extraordinary – and they all
come with plenty of hazards.
Torn ligaments, broken bones
and even death are not uncommon to these
disciplines, but that hasn’t deterred thrill
seekers from testing the limits of gravity with
backflips and supermans.
In fact, these three sports have been
steadily growing in China, and like everything
in the country, while it may be arriving a
little late to the global party, you can be sure
that big things are on the horizon. We took
the highway to the danger zone and spoke to
people in China’s major metropolises for a
glimpse into how skateboarding, parkour and
BMX are turning cities into extreme sports
playgrounds (p36).
Looking into other subgroups of society,
this month Guangzhou editor Jocelyn Richards
lays down the facts about Guangdong’s largest
ethnic minority, the Yao. Having journeyed
into their villages in the countryside of the
April
province, she has all the
facts about the Yao people
and their customs (p12).
It’s a busy month
for pop music fans, with
the advent of both Katy
Perry (who we covered
in our last issue) and
Pitbull (see p26 for an
interview), as well as the
Backstreet Boys (see the
Hong Kong calendar).
We’ve also nabbed a chat
with Jiangnan Xiren, the
duo who has taken the
Middle Kingdom by storm
with their takedowns of
everything from ‘tuhao’
to Sinopec. Using popular
melodies, including ‘Bad Romance’ and
‘Gangnam Style,’ they recompose the lyrics to
present amusing social commentary (p28).
More high culture is on the horizon, too,
with the English National Ballet bringing
the sparklingly light and easily digestible
Coppélia (p32) and Théâtre de la Feuille’s very
physical version of Chinese classic The Orphan
of Zhao (p30). Looking ahead, Shenzhen is
set to welcome a grand production of Ghost
the Musical in May. Keep an eye out for our
interviews with the stars in our next issue.
Until then, one more piece of advice from
Machiavelli to mull over that has always
been very instructive to me: “It is better to be
feared than loved.”

tales of the city
Who let the dogs out?
A dog slaughter ring in Shenzhen was shut
down on March 16 after animal rights
activists spent almost 40 hours protesting
outside the site. Members of the Shenzhen
City Canine Society posed as purchasers
of dog carcasses in order to enter the
compounds, where they found hundreds of
iron cages packed with dogs. Within minutes,
authorities arrived at the scene, arresting
the soulless canine kidnappers and saving
89 dogs in the process. Although the story
is not expected to improve China’s infamous
reputation for cruelty towards animals, it
does promote more pawsitive thinking.
Land of opportunity
Don’t head west just yet! A joint report from PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) China and
the China Development Research Foundation named Shenzhen and Guangzhou as the top
two “cities of opportunity” last month. Twenty cities – including Tianjin, Chongqing and
Nanjing – were ranked based on indicators like healthcare and safety, culture and lifestyle,
technology and sustainability. As the ‘Silicon Valley of China,’ Shenzhen scored highest in
technological readiness and economic clout, while Guangzhou topped a subcategory for
having the highest overall standard of living. Crucial indicators like the number of palm
trees per square kilometer and average temperature apparently weren’t factored in, but
hey, we still won.
Bromance
Do not pass Go
Port-a-reality
March 18 saw the meeting of two total
strangers: BuzzFeed editor Matt Stopera and
Guangzhou resident Li Hongjun, dubbed ‘Bro
Orange.’ A few weeks back, Li was gifted a
secondhand iPhone from a distant relative
– the same phone that was stolen from
Stopera in New York months before. After
discovering mysterious images on his photo
stream of a man next to an orange tree,
Stopera tweeted about the incident, which
was later reposted by a Chinese netizen on
Weibo with the hashtag “looking for Bro
Orange.” With 50 million views, it wasn’t
long before Li was tracked down, prompting
Stopera to hop on a plane to Guangzhou and
meet him in person. The two bonded over
noodles in Li’s hometown of Meizhou, where
Li is taking advantage of the media attention
to promote Hakka cuisine.
Head coach Fabio Cannavaro of the
Guangzhou Evergrande Taobao Football
Club has been handed a 10-month jail term
by Italian courts. The 2006 FIFA World
Player of the Year found himself in deep
water after he was caught swimming in
the pool of one of his properties, ignoring
orders prohibiting him from entering the
grounds. The ban is tied to the ongoing
investigation by Italian authorities
into possible tax invasion. Cannavaro’s
company, Fd Service, had almost one
million pounds seized last year in Naples
and is estimated to owe another million
euros in unpaid taxes. Meanwhile, admired
club director Marcello Lippi announced his
resignation last month, though sources say
recent actions of the Italian duo are merely
“an untimely coincidence.”
Dongguan is sprucing up streets with its
latest art installation project, Real Fiction
Cinema, which sets up ‘port-a-cinemas’
around the city. On its first tour to China,
the three-month project is being organized
by ArtsRouge International and Littmann
Cultural Projects and curated by Klaus
Littmann and Dutch conceptual artist Job
Koelewijn. Three container-like cinemas,
designed by the Swiss architecture firm
Lost and featuring a total of 26 seats, were
placed in a parking lot beside a theater and
pedestrian street. When observing the ‘film’
through an open screen, every spectator is
transformed into an actor, every building a
film backdrop and every scene a story with
no ending. Deep, Dongguan, deep.

FAKES
Blowing cows and
eating tofu
Shanzhai sphinx
One of the most marvelous things
about Mandarin is the anecdotes
behind everyday idioms. This
month, we’re dissecting two that
you can regularly insert into conversation: chuī niú (吹牛) and chī
dòufu (吃豆腐).
Chuī niú (literally ‘blowing cattle’) is a common way to say ‘talking
big.’ In the past, a butcher would cut
a small wound in the leg of a lamb
or a pig after killing it. Then he
blew on the wound until the body
pumped up. After that, it would
be easy for the butcher to skin the
animal. This technique was called
‘blowing pig’ or ‘blowing lamb.’
What does this have to do
with cows? If a man said that he
could blow cattle, he was talking
big, because the skin of bovines
was too thick and tough to make
this practicable. Thus, chuī niú has
become a colloquial way to say
someone is exaggerating, e.g., nĭ
chuī niú (‘you’re exaggerating’).
Another useful phrase to have
on hand is chī dòufu (‘eating tofu’).
In the Han Dynasty, there was a
couple who ran a tofu shop. The
wife was beautiful and charming, so
people called her the ‘Tofu Queen.’
To drum up business, her behavior
was occasionally flirtatious, which
led men to go to her shop just to
court her attention.
Today, chī dòufu is usually employed to say that a man is taking
advantage of a woman, normally in
a teasing or playful context. For example, nĭ chī Ellen de dòufu (‘you
are taking advantage of Ellen’).
With more than 500 million users, 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 Wi-Fi?
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.

Restroom round-up
Last spring, workers in Hebei Province had to dismantle an epic, fullscale replica of the Great Sphinx of Giza, 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-humanface statue” may not be long for this world if Egypt catches on. Book

CONVENIENCE
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 anyway, 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). “RMB6 billion” 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.

Myth-busting the Yao
Fact and fiction about Guangdong’s largest ethnic minority
BY Jocelyn Richards
distinguished only as the ‘other’ during
conflicts of power with Han Chinese, the Yao
were soon labeled barbarians and forced to
live away from society in mountainous regions. Over time, continuous uprisings, consequential isolation and shared experiences
helped shape the Yao into the (somewhat)
solidified body they are today.
T
aken at face value and in everyday clothes, even a seasoned
Guangzhouer would struggle to
differentiate between modern Yao
and Han Chinese, yet the official line of demarcation remains. Despite being the largest
ethnic minority in Guangdong and boasting
a population comparable to Chicago’s, the
Yao have historically remained absent from
all social, economic and political interactions in the region. Today, however, many of
these once brightly clad mountaineers have
abandoned their smog-free villages to seek
12
opportunities in neighboring cities, marking
the first major Yao assimilation in history.
We decided to untangle what’s true from
what’s false regarding this people and their
culture.
The Yao are a clearly defined, homogenous group.
False. China’s 55 ethnic minorities are
sometimes lumped together, but for as many
differences as there are between ethnic classifications, there are often even more variations within each individual group. Initially
They are rebels… in the best sense.
True. The Yao’s rebellious disposition
has always come with the territory. As early
as A.D. 220, the Shiji – one of the first official histories of China – described a group
of southern barbarians characterized by a
tradition of sustained resistance to imperial
regimes. Later historical texts stress that the
Yao “refused to be seduced by the lure of the
superior, lowland Han culture, which meant
paying taxes and providing corvee [unpaid]
labor.” But really, who would work for free?
They consider themselves ‘dog-men.’
False – sort of. Classic fifth century
Chinese text The History of the Later Han
recounts the myth of Pan Hu, a divine dog
that married an emperor’s daughter and
subsequently fathered a new species of ‘dogmen.’ To this day, some Yao still consider the
legend to be a valid origin story, though most
simply honor the canine for its admirable
role in other popular legends.

It is merely coincidence, however, that
the Chinese character 猺 – depicting a ‘dog’
or ‘beast’ radical – was once the word for
‘Yao.’ Instead of reflecting the Yao’s mythical
origin, it was actually a graphically pejorative
ideogram used by Han Chinese as an ethnic
slur. The character was later replaced with
a human radical (傜) and then an even more
favorable jade radical (瑶) in the 1950s as
part of the PRC’s attempt to glorify Chinese
ethnic minorities.
They have a Guinness world record.
True. The Hongyao (Red Yao) women
in Huangluo Village, Guangxi, earned a
Guinness record in 2010 for comprising the
“world’s first long-hair village.” Their endless
locks, which average 1.7 meters, are traditionally cut only once, at the age of 16. The
hair is then gifted to the groom on a couple’s
wedding day and later becomes part of a
woman’s everyday hairdo.
Made of three bunches – the hair that
was cut at 16, hair that is still attached and
growing, and strings of fallen hair that are
collected each day – a woman’s headdress
indicates both her social and marital status.
Married women without kids wrap hair
around their heads in a spiral, while those
with children tie a small bun at the front.
Single women looking for love usually sport
a bandana, leaving much to the imagination.
They have a secret language solely for
women.
True, though it’s rarely practiced today.
Known as Nüshu, or ‘women’s writing,’ the
script first emerged in Jiangyong County,
Hunan. In traditional China, unequal access
to education often left girls and women illiterate, forcing them to find alternative ways
to communicate. Unlike standard written
Chinese, Nüshu is purely phonetic, with
about 600 characters that represent different
syllables in a word. Some Nüshu characters
actually take the mirror image of an original
Chinese ideogram and reduce the number of
strokes (we don’t blame them). Featured in
Lisa See’s novel Snow Flower and the Secret
Fan, the script was used in poems and letters
between sworn sisters, embroidered onto
clothing or everyday items.

They never take commercial medicine.
True. Perched on mountaintops far from
civilization, the Yao learned to develop their
own medical practices early on. Families
passed down knowledge of the therapeutic
properties of wild plants and herbs, which
were used to heal common diseases. After
boiling the plants in water, the Yao would
pour the resulting tonic into a large barrel
and bathe in it. These medicinal baths soon
became a trademark prescription of Yao doctors, who are estimated to advise patients in

Matchmaker, Matchmaker
Can’t find ‘the one?’ Your parents will
BY Emma Guo
Marriage: a joining of two people – and their families. For most unions, parents view meeting a prospective
spouse for their son or daughter as hugely important and necessary before the nuptials. Generally, this
happens later in the relationship. However, the ever-quirky Shenzhen has produced a different phenomenon
among the parents of older unmarried singles: park matchmaking.
O
14
nly a five-minute walk from the red southern gate
of Lianhua Shan Park is the blind date corner. A sign
set up at the entrance by the park’s management office alerts passersby that they are in a matchmaking
area. Thousands of posters of personals plaster the walls of a
200-square-meter section, with some even tacked onto several
nearby trees. Parents and a few middle-aged men mill around.
A local man in an unfitted suit notices me first. He thinks I’ve
come for a date. Confident and somewhat intense, he introduces
himself as Wen Jinlong and launches into his spiel after a brief
greeting:
“I’m turning 40 soon and my parents are getting older. My
goal is to get married this year and ideally have a kid before 40. I
would like to have my wife stay at home taking care of the family.
I run my own little store. Although I can’t earn a ton of money
from it, it’s still enough for a family of three in the future.”
I ask why he came to Lianhua Shan instead of using dating
websites. “No one replies to my messages,” he answers. “Plus
women’s photos lie sometimes. I prefer to meet people I’m going
to date in person.” He mentions that he heard about park matchmaking from a friend who met his girlfriend here.
He continues talking until I interject, firmly telling him I
am uninterested and that he is wasting time. He nods and leaves
immediately.
Next, I speak to a woman named Aunt Zhao. Zhao and
her husband moved with their daughter from Wuhan, Hubei
Province, shortly after the couple’s retirement in 2012. Zhao
lives nearby and comes to Lianhua Shan in the mornings to exercise and see friends.
“My daughter is an only child… [and] a bit shy. Her father
and I worry about her since she’s turning 30 soon. She works in
a shipping agency, and most of her co-workers are women… We
need to help her,” she says.
Zhao’s daughter thought park matchmaking was embarrassing and resisted at first. “We promised her we would be reasonable and respect her choices though, so she decided to give it a try.”
After several dates set up by her parents, Zhao’s daughter
eventually entered into a relationship for eight months, and her
poster was removed from the walls. However, the couple broke
up when the man relocated to another city. “She didn’t want a
long-distance relationship. We have no choice but to support her.
She’s our daughter after all,” Zhao continues. Zhao and her husband plan on putting their daughter’s flyer back up soon.
Like many of the parents hanging about Lianhua Shan, Zhao
and her husband are not familiar with online dating. Instead
of reading profiles on a website, they know talking face to face
helps to gauge the suitability of a person better.
“It’s convenient and cost effective to do it this way,” Zhao
notes. “We are not familiar with the computer like young people,
and my daughter is not really into blind dates.”
Rick Li, a Taiwanese man who owns an electronics busiApril 2015 / GZ / www.thatsmags.com

ness, is a regular at park matchmaking. He got
tipped off about the practice from a friend he
met speed dating. “He told me the most efficient way to get married is to meet the parents
and make them like you first. I think he’s right,
if the parents like you, then you’ve half succeeded.”
Li started park matchmaking in 2013.
“There were less posters and people here
[then]… only residents living around the neighborhood were coming,” he says. Li thinks the
popularity has grown because it’s free and people make new friends by participating.
“I met four of my dates here, but none of
them became my wife,” he says. Parents and
distance are the main reasons his prospects
haven’t panned out. “I come from Taiwan. If I
get married, sooner or later I will move back to
Taiwan… Most parents don’t want their daughter to move to Taiwan… especially if she’s an
only child.”
Despite those issues, Li almost married
his last girlfriend whom he met here. After six
months, his girlfriend’s parents asked him to
buy an apartment and a car in Shenzhen. They
told him this would be a way to show how
much he loved their daughter and how serious
he was about the relationship.
“To me it's completely insane, since the
housing prices are way too high here, and we
are moving back to Taipei if we get married.
Why waste money? I refused, my girlfriend
and her family got mad, and we ended our
relationship,” says Li who thinks finding a date
here is easy but making it into a relationship is
difficult.
“Parents are the biggest problem.
Somehow I feel like they only care about how
much money you have. The more money you
show them, the more they think you love their
daughter,” he says.
Li’s words resonate as I look at the posters
again. Most are written by parents, only telling
their child’s age and how much they earn per
month. Interested suitors can call the phone
number listed on the flyer (the parents’ direct
line) if they like what they see.
What follows is a fairly standard process:
parents will ask questions first, and if their
standards are met, they will show a photo of
their offspring. If the suitor continues to show
interest, a day is set for the first meeting, normally in the park – the daughter or son, their
parents and the suitor.
However, the first meeting is tightly controlled and managed, with the son or daughter
generally going along with what their parents
say. The second meeting a few days later is
much more natural.
“Some girls tell me that they’re not interested in me at all, or they enjoy staying single,” says
Li. “They do this only to comfort their parents.
It’s harsh but at least it’s the truth.” He doesn’t
mind the rigmarole. If it does go well, the couple
has the all clear to start going out on dates.
Li seems tired of park matchmaking,
but he doesn’t have many options. “I’m 47
now… I would never do this if I were 20 years
younger… I was popular when I was young. But
things changed and now karma has got me,”
he sighs.
Perhaps this is the case for many middleaged, unmarried people in Shenzhen. At least
most have their parents to help them out.

thousands of years ago. Guasha is one of those
weird and wonderful treatments. In fact, after
acupuncture, it is my top choice for muscle
pain and stiffness.
Guasha is a deep friction technique that
uses a curved edge tool to strip through tight
muscle fibers in order to break up energy
stagnation and thereby reduce tension and
pain. You can get specialized guasha tools, but
I prefer a plain old Chinese soup spoon. Spoon
in hand, I lube up your skin and then use firm
pressure to drag its rounded edge along your
muscle tissue and energy pathways. Guasha
should feel like a strong massage but always
within your pain tolerance.
I rarely use guasha as a stand-alone
treatment; I combine it with acupuncture. By
combining
the two, you get
both a local and
systemic affect. In
the long run, this
means extended
periods without
pain.
As I wrote
in a previous
article, all pain
is caused by
stagnation
of energy,
blood or other body fluids. Guasha releases
pain and stiffness caused by energy stagnation.
This type of pain often affects a general region
rather than a fixed point. It might roam around
or come and go. It usually feels dull rather than
sharp and typically hurts less after stretching
or exercise, but returns during inactivity. Upper
back pain and stiffness caused by poor posture
during deskwork is a very common cause, and
guasha works beautifully to remedy it.
In Chinese, gua (刮) describes the scraping
motion used during treatment and sha (痧)
describes a dark red or purple color change in
the skin – this is a strong hint that you should
expect to get temporary bruising from guasha.
The more serious your energy stagnation, the
darker your ‘sha’ will be and the longer it will
last. Severe cases will show dark purple marks
that slowly fade over a week or two or three.
This variation makes guasha a nifty way to diagnose how widespread and how severe your
energy stagnation is. As treatment progresses
you see less and less sha, while the pain that
brought you in for treatment will be reducing
as well.
Guasha may look like torture, but done by
a properly trained professional it is actually a
comfortable and highly effective solution for
pain. Many of my patients tell me that guasha
is their favorite part of treatment. I always
thought it was my charming personality.

In today’s wired world, we expect access to music no matter how far we wander. Cranking up
the volume on an iPhone works fine in the car,
but what about when you’re traversing whitecaps on Hong Kong’s southern island or hosting
an outdoor barbeque with friends? In the past,
bringing along a speaker meant packing a pile
of wires and chargers too – not exactly the romantic getaway most have in mind.
This month, we’re exploring hassle-free alternatives that promise hours of solid beats on
rechargeable battery power alone. Our favorite
Bluetooth portable speakers include Harman’s
highly rated JBL Flip 2 (RMB999), which packs
massive sound and stable bass into a pocketsize device weighing less than one pound. Able
to fit in most purses, the JBL Flip 2 comes with
a hard case and charges via micro-USB, saving
you the need to lug around an extra charger.
Easily connected to playlists on any mobile
device, laptop or tablet, the JBL Flip 2 can play
nonstop for up to five hours.
Last year, Harman also introduced the
JBL Pulse (RMB1,699), adding funky LED lava
lights to the mix. Radiating beams of color that
pulse to the beat of your favorite tunes, the JBL
Pulse was called “mesmerizing” by CNET, while
PC Mag asserted its “good general sound quality.” Perhaps most exciting is that those with an
iOS device can customize the lighting patterns
even more with the free JBL music app. Expert
listeners may choose a speaker with more clarity in the low-mid range, but for most, the JBL
Pulse delivers on volume and certainly heats
things up on the dance floor. JR

Heavenly Spa
Nestled behind the Canton Fair Complex, The
Westin Pazhou feels spotless and still next to
the clamor of dusty vehicles outside. Upon
entering the spacious lobby, hints of white
tea permeate the air, setting the mood for a
morning of indulgence.
The spa is located on the fourth floor in
a separate corridor that lures guests even
deeper into serene silence. Greeted by a team
of therapists clad in neutral colors, we’re
promptly led down a hallway illuminated with
path lights and incandescent white stones.
Doors line either side of the walkway, revealing tranquil lounges and eight treatment
rooms, three of which are tailored for couples.
Cast in a yellow glow and accented by
mahogany floors, the treatment rooms typify
Zen design without feeling cold or sterile.
Each bed holds a tray of essential oils, a sonorant bowl and stones engraved with ‘hope,’
‘love’ and ‘gratitude.’
This spring, Heavenly Spa by Westin has
unveiled three signature treatment packages – Hope, Dream and Wish – to achieve
physical, mental and spiritual renewal for
guests. We decided to test our luck with the
150-minute Hope treatment (RMB1,180 plus
15 percent), which begins with a full-body
olive scrub to exfoliate the outermost layer of
the skin. After surviving months of dry winter air, outer skin cells generally die out and
cake up on certain hard-to-reach areas of the
body. The Hope treatment uses only natural
olive grains and warm water to rejuvenate
skin, avoiding all harmful chemicals found at
cheaper spas around town.
After the scrub comes a Heavenly Mist
Body Steam, short tea break and, finally,
an intensive massage with one’s choice of
essential oil. Peaceful echoes from the sono-
rant bowl and a dimming of lights indicate
that the deep-tissue massage is underway.
Though it’s easy to drift off between whiffs
of rose extract and soothing music, our
overall sensation is one of renewed energy.
Tightness fades from shoulder and back
muscles while skin feels supple, fragrant and
visibly smooth.
It’s never easy to welcome the blinding
sun and skimpy apparel that accompany
spring in Guangzhou, but a fresh outlook and
flawless skin sure bring us hope! JR

What if I fail?
We’ve all heard the saying that “trying and
failing is better than not trying at all.” It’s
another thing to put these words into action: making an attempt, sometimes failing, but learning from our mistakes and
going at it again.
Trying makes you vulnerable to
failure, and that can be scary. But what
happens if you don’t make an effort at all?
When you do nothing, then there is no
failure to deal with. But is it going to make
you better? Can you get healthier one step
at a time by inaction? No. Unfortunately,
you get worse. Doing nothing is safe and
comfortable, but gets you nowhere.
What’s the worst thing that can happen if you try? Okay, so you fail. But you
won’t die from trying to do a chin-up
and realizing that you can’t even manage
one. You’ll think, ‘Man, that sucks’ – and
that’s it. So how can you accomplish that
one chin-up? That’s when you assess and
tweak your methods. Go through the steps
you need to take. Think about how you
can build the strength you need to reach
that goal. Make a plan and see it through.
You can and will reach your goal if you
keep trying; it just takes time, practice
and dedication.
If you're dreading what you have
to do, remember why you're doing it.
Visualize your success. If you're having
one of those days when the thought of a
workout leaves you cold, convince yourself to do just 10 minutes. Get yourself
ready, put your runners on, pop your
earphones in and by the time you step out
of the door, you’ll probably find yourself
in the zone. Once you start your training,
if you really can't push beyond those 10
minutes, then just go home. But if you’ve
gone past the point of no return, remember why you're there, and get your head
in the game. You’ll be done before you
know it. Once you've completed this task,
you will feel better, and you’re that much
closer to your goal.
We all occasionally miss workouts or
gorge on an unhealthy meal, but it’s your
reaction that counts. Do you just give up
and resign yourself to staying the same?
Or do you pick yourself back up, dust
yourself off and have another go? If you
don’t succeed today, dedicate your mind
and body to pulling it off tomorrow.
Attempting and failing is a process
that takes you to your end result. Try
and persevere. Ice hockey great Wayne
Gretzky once said, “You miss 100 percent
of the shots you don't take.”
Take a shot now.

Inside the Flower Hotel
A huge ode to excess

and more. We have both a Cantonese and
Western-style restaurant.
alking along the grounds of
Nansha’s Flower Hotel is much
like stumbling into Alice’s
Wonderland under the influence. Life-size cartoons lurk among flawless
flowerbeds while piglet pens and a Princess
Diana statuary add random intrigue to the
multiple-acre nirvana. We asked Xu Yukun,
the CEO of this imaginative five-star hotel, to
share a few of the motives behind the magic.
Who is the mastermind behind the Flower
Hotel’s unique theme and decor?
Our hotel embodies a wedding holiday theme and is inspired by Guangzhou’s
Sunflower Garden founder Tan Weixing.
Exterior architecture is handled by Mo Bozhi
Studio, while all interior design is the work
of Shenzhen Meizhi Decoration Design &
Construction Co. Ltd. Room designs vary by
floor and are either decked out in sunflower,
lavender, cherry, rose or tulip themes.
The hotel grounds include a number of
interestingly themed gardens and exhibits, like the Hello Kitty room and Princess
Diana statuary. What is the significance
behind featuring such themes?
At Flower Hotel, it’s easy to run across
scenes that conjure up feelings of deja vu, such
20
The Flower Hotel’s staff members are
unusually outgoing and friendly towards
guests. What sort of training do they undergo?
There are 305 employees total. Each has
to participate in an initial orientation before
completing a training session every two
weeks. We instruct all employees in proper
appearance, courtesy, communication, hotel
knowledge, etc.
as the royal fountain and Princess Diana statues. Every sight may arise from one’s extravagant imagination, from a scene in a movie or
from a moment in time. There is no particular
significance – it’s just the originality of life.
Would you say the hotel is modeled after
an Eastern or Western style?
The hotel’s exterior is modeled after
a European castle to expose guests to a
fairytale-like world. The grounds are tailored
to family outings and resemble a children’s
playground with ball pools, amusement rides
What does the future look like for the
Flower Hotel?
We’ve been in a trial period since opening in December of last year but have enjoyed
everyone’s recognition and affirmation of our
efforts. We hope to strengthen promotional
strategies in an effort to further increase our
popularity and allow more travelers to enjoy
our superior facilities and services. Finally, we
look forward to finishing the outdoor heated
swimming pool, workout room, yoga studio
and clubs and villas on the premises.

MOZAMBIQUE
A pristine paradise

W
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 land at Nuarro Luxury
Eco Lodge’s private airstrip, and are driven
down dusty roads to the reception atop of
a dune overlooking the magnificent Memba
Bay and down to the 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 from Brazil. Naturally
salted by the sea, they are perfectly washed
down with a cold beer. The first global empire in history, the seafaring Portuguese also
introduced spices and seasonings such as
onions, bay leaves, garlic, fresh coriander,
paprika, chilli peppers. Food is to become
one of the great delights of our stay.
22
While we may have been flying south, mentally
we have taken a turn for the horizontal. Nuarro
has an instant calming effect
As is the company of 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 to back to your chalet
to make sure you settle in each night.
It is difficult not to. At 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 in 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.
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 highlight. One of those pub
quiz facts about Mozambique is that it is the
only country to have an AK-47 on its flag.
That’s a result of the Mozambican War of
Independence against the Portuguese, which
lasted from 1964 to 1974.
travel » LIFE & STYLE
Sadly, that hasn’t been the only war in
the country’s recent history. Just two years
after finally gaining independence in 1975,
Mozambique descended into an intense civil
war that wrecked its land for 15 years, until
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
bleak legacy continuing to plague the nation
to this day.
Suffice to say with such turmoil, this
well endowed nation has struggled to reach
its potential. While blessed with extensive
natural resources, Mozambique ranks among
the lowest in 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 less 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 centre
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 fishermen are bringing 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 pass the bay
with their young, and on the final afternoon
after lunch, rather than make the exhausting
five-minute walk back to our verandas, we
decide it is wiser to sit it out on a sofa on the
restaurant terrace with a chilled bottle of
white wine (or two).
Our idleness is rewarded when across
the vast blue we see a great white plume

Pitbull’s quest to make
history, one party at a time
By Andrew Chin and Zoey Zha
W
ith megahits like ‘I Know
You Want Me (Calle Ocho)’
and ‘Give Me Everything’ to
his name, Pitbull has truly
gone from Mister 305 to Mister Worldwide.
The Miami rhymer shut down China his
first time around and is back again, bringing the party to Guangzhou Gymnasium on
April 3.
Welcome back to China! 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!
As Mister Worldwide, where are some of
your favorite places to travel?
26
I have a new song called ‘Sexy Beaches.’ I love
sexy beaches and I want to hit up every sexy
beach I can find in the world. I’ve always
believed the party is wherever you and your
friends are. Now that my crew and I are in
China, the party is right here.
Beatwise, what are you digging these
days?
I love anything that gets me excited and
makes the crowd want to party! I never want
to release something that somebody puts on
when they want to chill and relax. That’s not
for me.
You know my
motto, right? Single,
bilingual and ready
to mingle
You have several very popular anthems
like ‘I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho).’
When you finished those songs, did you
know they would be global hits?
I think any real artist knows when they
have something.
What’s the wildest place you’ve heard one
of your songs playing?
Wildest situation? Heh, you know my
motto, right? Single, bilingual and ready to
mingle.
The 2014 AMA Ceremony was a big topic
on Weibo and you introduced the Chinese
performers onto the stage – how did that
affect you?
China is a big place and will become
even 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.
Penguins of Madagascar was really successful here and ‘Celebrate’ went viral. If
you could voice any animated character,
what would it be?
They should make a Fievel movie – An
American Tail: Fievel and the Rise of the
Miami Kings. I would totally be the voice of a
Miami mouse on the up and up.
You’re very proud of your CubanAmerican heritage. It’s an interesting
time between the two countries. What
do you hope will happen in that relationship?
Miami is who I am, and Cuba is the culture of my family. Right now, my home base
is Miami and one day, I hope I am able to live
in both places without a hassle.
Is there anything you would like to add?
This is really a great honor for me to be
here. When I was younger and starting out, I
don’t think I ever imagined coming through
China on tour, twice. Party!

“We Tease, We Mock, We Exist”
Meet the rappers who use Gaga to go after Sinopec
By Will Wu
From left to right:
director Chris Huo,
Ivan Lok and Tommy
Wang
I
t wasn’t so long ago that the only way
for a singer’s career to take off was
though album sales, a couple of big concerts and lots of face time on screens,
either big or small. Under the influence of
today’s so-called ‘eyeball economy,’ however,
the path to renown is through attentiongrabbing stunts. Getting famous is a matter
of masterminding a way to stand out from
the crowd.
Rapping duo Jiangnan Xiren found their
way to fame through reworking popular
songs, in a similar vein to Weird Al Yankovic.
Specifically, they rewrite the lyrics of shenqu
(神曲), a term used to describe catchy tunes
that have a brainwashing effect on listeners.
Consisting of two Guangzhou locals, Ivan
Lok and Tommy Wang, Jiangnan Xiren became an Internet sensation in 2011 with the
release of ‘Le D Gaa Gaa’ (‘哩D加价’), which
translates as ‘prices all go up.’ Set to the tune
of Lady Gaga’s ‘Bad Romance,’ it satirizes the
rising cost of living with lines like “prices
soar crazily while salaries stay the same” and
“Sinopec is the best, always gaining, never
losing” – lyrics that became headlines in
mainstream print media.
When the music video featuring Lok
and Wang strutting about town in suits and
heavy eye makeup was put online, it went
viral, with more than three million clicks and
100,000 reposts on Sina Weibo.
“Sometimes it is hard to express your
28
feelings in an ordinary way. So we turn to
mockery. And we mock with plain and simple
words. We want others to laugh, and then to
think,” says Lok.
The initial success came 10 years after
Lok and Wang first met and became friends.
Lok graduated with a major in art trading, but ditched a world where creativity
is bought and sold to work at a local radio
station, composing jingles and sound effects
from a small booth. It was there that he encountered Tommy Wang, who was a DJ and
host.
“Tommy is an idea bank,” says Lok. “He
never lacks ideas and always reacts fast to
hot social issues.”
Though Jiangnan Xiren’s first hit boldly
skewered Sinopec, a state-owned oil and gas
company, the duo has since focused largely
on softer – if no less deserving – targets. “You
can’t go too extreme in China. Compromise is
needed,” notes Wang.
Wang and Lok’s signature song, ‘Jiangnan
Xi Style,’ pokes fun at tuhao (the rich but
ill-educated) and their extravagant lifestyle.
Sung to the melody of Psy’s ‘Gangnam Style’,
the duo dance in the MV with two LV belts
fastened on their heads. ‘Bei Bei’ (背呗,
‘recite’) reworks Justin Bieber’s ‘Baby’ to
express the bitterness students experience
before the gaokao, China’s national college
entrance exam. The MV features the pair,
dressed like students, carrying IV drips
into the classroom and moaning about the
materials prescribed by strict teachers that
must be memorized. So popular has the track
become that every June, the month when the
gaokao occurs, ‘Bei Bei’ is featured on the
front page of Youku.
Finding the balance between humor and
criticism has always been key to Jiangnan
Xiren’s success, and while many of their releases have become cultural touchstones to younger generations, not all have been a success.
Following a series of audacious moves in
their MVs, like putting a sexy girl on a turntable who cries out “I love rich men” and using
an animated background in which a sperm
enters an egg, the duo produced ‘God Loves
Us,’ a commentary on China’s numerous
food safety scandals. For this song, they put
together different pop tracks with positive
lyrics, but it failed to find as broad an appeal
as their previous works.
“We were very disappointed at the number of clicks, as we invested more in producing this song, both financially and mentally,”
says Wang. “It taught us that preaching is not
agreeable to most netizens.”
While Jiangnan Xi Ren’s claimed goal is
to “speak for the public,” they have been subjected to harsh attacks in the past. “We have
often been criticized as being vulgar and
playing to the gallery. It’s fine. We are not
RnB, not everyone will like us,” says Wang.
“We, together with our director Chris Huo,
actually implant lots of hidden messages in
our music videos. If you just notice the amusing part, that’s okay. At least you are happy.
That’s the bottom line.”

Let’s Get Physical
Giving The Orphan of Zhao a modern makeover
By Tom Lee
T
he Orphan of Zhao is one of China’s
most famous plays. A dramatic tale
full of court intrigue, murder and
revenge, it is often referred to as the
‘Chinese Hamlet.’
Filled with grand motifs similar to
Shakespeare’s masterpiece, The Orphan of
Zhao is purportedly the first-ever Chinese
play to be translated in Europe. The great
French author Voltaire admired the story so
much that he adapted it to create L’Orphelin de
la Chine, and it continues to fascinate Western
audiences today: the Royal Shakespeare
Company produced a lavish adaptation in
2012 that caused quite a stir in the UK and US.
Though it was written during the Yuan
Dynasty, in the 13th century, the tragedy fictionalizes historical events that happened more
than two millennia ago. A corrupt official pursues a vendetta against a ministerial rival, massacring his entire extended family except for
a single child, the minister’s baby boy, who is
smuggled away and hidden. Years later, the official unknowingly adopts the heir of his former
nemesis, leading to his bloody end.
“The story revolves around the themes
of loyalty, filial piety, humanity and justice.
These are very important messages that I
found missing in society today. That’s why I
wanted to share it with the modern audience,”
says Ata Wong, Artistic Director of Théâtre de
la Feuille. The Hong Kong native is bringing
30
his troupe to Guangzhou this month with his
own adaptation of The Orphan of Zhao, entitled L’Orphelin 2.0.
Originally trained in HK, Wong later went
to France to study at the Ecole Internationale
de Théâtre Jacques Lecoq. He aims to integrate Chinese and European traditions into
his performances. In L’Orphelin 2.0, he draws
upon the physicality of the Lecoq School and
pairs it with Chinese opera and tai chi.
Wong previously produced another version of The Orphan of Zhao that toured France,
Italy and Taiwan. L’Orphelin 2.0 is much more
pared down, dispensing with almost everything except for the thespians themselves.
“This time, I wanted to see if we could use
even less ‘real’ materials. I wanted to challenge myself and the actors to use their bodies
as the only tool,” explains Wong. “Many previous stage performances of The Orphan of Zhao
in China have used extravagant costumes, sets
and props. Why not leave that for the audience to imagine? Having these missing links in
the pieces might give less for the eyes to see,
but the space for the audience’s imagination
is boundless.”
Speech is also limited to the minimum,
he says, adding, “L’Orphelin is telling pictures
or, more specifically, Chinese painting and
poetry.”
Key to the original text is the concept of
self-sacrifice in pursuit of the greater good.
The titular character’s mother kills herself to
ensure she does not succumb to torture and
reveal the whereabouts of her son, as does
an enemy combatant who takes pity on the
boy and allows him to be whisked away to
safety. When it is decreed that all babies shall
be executed unless the Zhao orphan is given
up, the hero’s guardian decoys the antagonist
with his own son, who is quickly put to death.
Justice must prevail, even if heart-rending decisions have to be made.
Because of this central message, The
Orphan of Zhao has frequently been utilized
to encourage people to fight against tyranny
and unjust government, no matter the cost – a
mantle that Wong whole-heartedly takes up in
his production.
“L’Orphelin is more about how far one
would go to stand up for the truth and what
they think is right. I want the audience to
question whether they should always follow
the words of others or have the courage to
seek for the truth.”

All Dolled Up
English National Ballet prepares to delight with Coppélia
By Tom Lee
W
hat happens when man falls in love with machine? When an artificial object becomes so
realistic that it is nearly impossible to distinguish
from the genuine article? Almost two centuries
before Masahiro Mori came up with the term ‘uncanny valley’
to describe the discomfort people experience when confronted
by extremely realistic robots, the author E.T.A. Hoffman was already pondering the issue.
A writer prone to the macabre and the fantastical, the result
of Hoffman’s musings was ‘The Sandman.’ Published in 1816,
the short story follows a young man who becomes enamored
with a beautiful woman, only to realize that she is nothing more
than whirring cogs and glass eyes. Driven insane by this discovery, he eventually tries to murder his flesh-and-blood fiancee,
before throwing himself from a steeple to his death.
While darkly fascinating, the plot is not, on the face of it,
prime material for a family-friendly show. Yet Coppélia is often
cited as particularly good for introducing children to ballet and
has become a staple of the ballet repertoire.
“Hoffman’s story reflected the wide-spread fascination with
automata in the early Romantic era,” explains Tamara Rojo,
Artistic Director of the English National Ballet. “Charles Nuitter,
Coppélia’s scenarist, removed the sinister elements of the story
and adapted it to become a light comedy.”
Gone are the violent fits and the lingering fear of enucleation, replaced with a lovers’ tiff and an amusingly barmy doctor,
all set within a charmingly pastoral locale. Country maiden
Swanilda is aflutter with the thought of her upcoming nuptials
to Franz, but soon sees that he is less enthusiastic. It transpires
that Franz has become besotted with Coppélia, a beautiful girl
who sits reading all day, speaking to no-one, on the balcony of
the local inventor (and crackpot), Dr. Coppelius.
Determined to win back her intended’s heart, Swanilda and
her female chums infiltrate Dr. Coppelius’ house, only to find it
full of automata, with Coppélia as the crowning glory. Through
a series of amusingly implausible events, including an attempt
to use a magic spell to steal Franz’s soul, the lovers are brought
together once more.
Full of whimsical dances and breezy music courtesy of
French composer Delibes, Coppélia is an easily digestible divertissement. The plot “is full of mischievous charm,” as Rojo puts
it, the pinnacle of which occurs when Swanilda pretends to be
an automaton come to life – much to the joy of Dr. Coppelius,
who believes he has finally succeeded in his experiments.
Rojo and the English National Ballet are bringing their version of Coppélia to the Guangzhou Opera House on April 28-29.
“This production was specially created for the English National
Ballet by Ronald Hynd and has thrilled audiences for many years,”
remarks Rojo. “2015 marks this production’s 30th anniversary.”
The ENB are also bringing their rendition of Swan Lake for
those who prefer the stormy drama of Tchaikovsky’s riveting
score, which Rojo believes pairs well with the airy sweetness
of Coppélia. “Swan Lake is very serious, whereas Coppélia is the
perfect family ballet for young and old alike, full of happiness
and laughter.”

Journey to the Northeast
Michael Meyer’s love letter to a town 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 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 at 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 fertile 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
160,000 people dying of 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.
The Japanese, the Soviets?
They were expelled. The cold
returned every year

Skaters
gonna
skate
O
n a gloomy Saturday afternoon in the suburban Beijing district of Daxing – famed chiefly
for its watermelon fields – a 7-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 30-something 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.
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; and 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
38
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 US 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 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 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 potential 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 skate-
COV ER STORY
boarding 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.”
Shehui Skateboarding, Beijing’s first skate shop, followed a similar path. Founded in 2001 by Raph Cooper, a
USC alum who had studied at Beijing 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.
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 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 businesslike 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 explains.
“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. Twenty amazing professionals. And
no sponsors. Ten 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.”
That’s where sites like Jeff Han’s Skatehere.com
and Kickerclub.com come into play. Qingdao-born 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 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 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.”
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.”

The City as a
Playground
I
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 high-adrenaline 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 French inventor David
Belle as he developed the sport in the late 80s and 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 –
40
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.
Talking with a few practitioners reveals that, in
a way similar to the evolution 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 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 gravity-defying 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 really hard time taking off. “No
one really knew what it was,” says Matt Talbot-Turner,
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."
Undeterred by public perception, the first generation of Chinese traceurs continued practicing, however,
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
COV ER STORY
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
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 6 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, says Chen, 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.”
Jiji Li, the founder of Guangzhou’s first parkour
team, City Spanker, learned that lesson the hard way.
Back in 2009, one year after he had established his
team, Li was badly injured from excessive training. “I
had to lie on a bed to recover for nearly one month,”
he recalls. “I was 25 at that time, an age when pursing
limits seemed very important.”
The movements common to parkour put a lot of
strain on the body, particularly the knees, and it can
lead to torn ligaments and strained muscles in even
the fittest of practitioners. Li says there is absolutely no
point in pushing your body too far: “It was a valuable
lesson that I often share with my teammates. Blind risks
are pointless.”
The fact that most people still look down on the
sport is another factor hindering its development. Chen
says his parents are not supportive of what he does and
would be happier if he had a ‘real’ job. 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. 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 lessintimidating 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 TalbotTurner. "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.”
Parkour explained
Parkour has no explicit glossary, but traceurs typically describe the fundamental maneuvers as the
cat leap, the precision jump, the roll and the wall
run.
There is also the tic-tac, in which a nearly
horizontal traceur takes at least one step (and
sometimes several steps) along a wall and launches himself from it; and the underbar, in which a traceur dives feet first through a gap between fence
rails, like a letter going through a slot, then grabs
the upper rail as his shoulders pass under it.
There are also several vaults, including the
lazy vault, the reverse vault, the turn vault, the
speed vault, the dash vault, and the kong or monkey vault, in which a traceur runs straight at a wall
or a railing, plants his hands on top and brings his
feet through his hands.
All these moves link to one another, so that a
traceur might say that he went cat to cat, or that
he tic-taced or konged a wall, then did a roll and a
wall leap. The intention is to become so adept that
the movements recede in one’s awareness and can
be performed without reflection.

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
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
42
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 the styles of riding and racing but on bicycles, which they modified
and adapted to suit the dirt tracks on which they
contended.
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

lls
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 in remarkably smaller
numbers 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 began to see 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
– 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 allout race, though. It requires
discipline and rigid training.
A lap takes about 45
to 50 seconds (riders are typically in the mid-20
I started
riding alone
because no
one else was
doing it
miles per hour range) and a standard race is three
laps – it’s essentially a sprint from beginning to end,
and it is grueling. The acrobatics certainly don't
make it 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 20-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
equal. 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
to 30 people every weekend,” he tells us, “and over
800 students altogether. Practicing together is at the
core of BMX.”
As he says this, a frustrated look – that of a
sportsman who just missed a point or accidentally
slips on the verge of winning a 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 sponsorship. 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.

Reflecting the Zeitgeist
Shenzhen Film & Acting
by Christine Gilbert
“
Great cities are… not by accident… because artists and people that identify
with the city… come together in that
city and create something,” says David
Shomaker when asked about the vision of
Shenzhen Film & Acting (SZFA). A nonprofit
organization dedicated to education, exchange and creation of all aspects of video
production, the organization has developed
steadily over the past eight months, thanks
to the efforts of Shomaker, his fellow organizers Ali Shakorian and Tre Tennyson, and its
other 30-plus members.
“Based on our discussions [in the group
meetings], our vision’s focused on understanding and establishing the film and artistic identity of Shenzhen,” says Tennyson, an
American teacher who studied acting and
playwriting in college and cites SZFA as his
main conduit into China’s art community.
“If we keep progressing in the direction that
we’re going… [Shenzhen] is poised to be one
of the great cities of the world in the next
generation or so. So it begs the question,
what does that mean culturally?”
Tennyson, Shomaker and Shakorian
started SZFA after seeing a communal need
for an open platform for video production.
“We all had different friends in Shenzhen
who were doing different [film] projects, and
we thought we could all support each other,”
says Shakorian, a professional Swedish photographer and product commercial maker.
After drawing up a basic structure, the
three began holding monthly meetings
44
where attendees could present ideas, receive
feedback and get encouragement, as well as
participate in workshops. Attendance usually
ranges in size from about 16 to 25 people
who, after splitting into smaller groups, all
receive a film assignment of a one-word
theme. Each group must then produce a
short film within the hour.
This approach, according to Shakorian, is
integral to the community-led education that
occurs through SZFA: “The group… is based
on projects. We learn by doing,” he says.
Only materials that are present can be
used, and some films get shot with a smartphone. Tennyson explains the approach
rhetorically: “In the absence of bountiful
resources, how can the strength of your idea
support your final product?”
For each monthly gathering, SZFA meets
at a cafe or bar with a screen and projector.
Each group shows their movie at the end.
Shakorian thinks that an integral part of
SZFA gets developed further through this
process. “What we saw when we started
doing… creative workshops was… it’s not a
video, an acting thing anymore,” he says. The
diversity of human creativity is what interests him about it. “All [the groups] have the
same theme…It’s a mixture of professionals
and amateurs, but the end result… [and] approaches [are] so amazingly different that
you['re] just amazed that human beings have
such beautiful minds,” he continues.
Shomaker, who owns a swim instruction
company, appreciates the accountability he
receives from the meetings to produce creative work. Although he majored in film, he
confesses that before SZFA, he put little time
into producing, as it’s not an integral part of
his current job. “I’m working on things that
I never had time for before because other
people in the group encourage and push me
to do it,” he says.
The three men agree SZFA has struck
upon something formerly missing and needed
in Shenzhen. However, they also realize that
to contribute to the artistic identity of a city,
they must share that work outside the group
and also facilitate training in the different
fields of video production within the group.
To meet both these needs, Tennyson created an actor’s workshop. He developed a program to review different thespian techniques,
discuss the importance of acting in society,
explore different genres as well as specific
dramatic works and propose new modes
of expression. Twenty-five actors met each
Monday for three hours at Centro in Taoyuan.
The course finished with a showcase (open to
the public) of four scenes they had prepared
utilizing the tools Tennyson taught them. Both
the course and the showcase were free.
“[We] did the four scenes last time, but
the goal moving forward is to do a full play.
If you’re trying to build a community and
establish an identify, it is important to…
[know] where you want that expression to
reach,” Tennyson says when asked about the
future of SZFA. He hopes SZFA can reach as
many people as possible with their projects.
lead » COMMUNITY
“[This] initiates a dialogue, and there
may be ideas out there that we start to
discuss but don’t quite get to the heart
of. Someone else out there might know
the other side or the other piece… and I
think that’s part of it,” he said in speaking of helping to develop Shenzhen’s
artistic identity. The group has agreed
that each acting project SZFA does will
end in a showcase to support this idea.
They will also have larger projects,
too. Currently, all of the regular members of SZFA are working to produce a
film around the words 'Shenzhen' and
'myth.' Though the organizers were reluctant to discuss it in-depth, Tennyson
says there are phases in mind already for
further development of SZFA.
“Eventually, we want each production to
be in-house from the start to the finish. The
writing… music, people, graphics… [We plan]
to have production capabilities so anyone in
the community can produce,” Shakorian adds.
The organizers have approached the
group with extreme intentionality. They
have begun working towards this not only
with the acting workshop, but also with a
plan for a writing workshop next quarter.
Tennyson will again instruct the group, this
time in screenwriting, with the idea of doing an actor’s workshop utilizing the scripts

Sex and Lies
Self-deception and our natural need to obfuscate
by Dr. Al Chambers
T
he right question is actually not,
“Do you lie?” The right question is,
“How often do you lie?” And unfortunately, because we are all such
good self-deceivers, we really do not know
the answer to this question, so the best response may be, “Of course I lie a lot, why do
you ask?”
We deceive, misrepresent, obfuscate,
misdirect, equivocate, confuse the issue,
conveniently forget, withhold, lose track, exaggerate, argue for positions we do not even
agree with, save face, change the topic, etc. –
and blame others if we are caught at it!
We all lie, often, everyday, and throughout our lives. We learn to lie as very young
children, and we become better at it as we
get older – in fact we get so good, we not
only mislead, withhold, exaggerate and are
consciously dishonest to others (especially
people we are close to), but also to ourselves,
all the time. We can safely say that who we
are and how we operate in the world is built
on lies and misrepresentations.
Different degrees of intimacy, truthfulness, deception and strategic enterprise are
part of all personalities and nowhere more
than in our erotic and loving relationships.
We embrace fantasy, illusion, creativity and
falsehood in our relationships as children,
46
parents, partners and friends – and with
strangers. Our human brains are uniquely
designed to deceive and to try to detect deception, leading to the assumption that this
ability may be part of our evolutionary heritage and did not just arrive with the advent of
Internet dating!
When parents insist to their children,
“Never lie to me or I’ll be angry,” they are setting their children up in an unwinnable and
stressful double bind. The child never wants
to lose parental love so very early in life will
develop strategies to ‘please’ the parents
– and these strategies are manipulations designed to get the parents to love them. Smile,
be good, listen, do your homework, eat your
vegetables, brush your teeth, never tell a lie,
etc. – these are all opportunities for children
to please (lie). Children go against their true
natures in order to placate others, and this
begins a lifelong separation from our true
selves.
What commences in childhood entraps
adults and all adult relationships. Everyone
gets the message that we should not lie, yet
we are a constant witness to deception and
its many forms; and we participate in its
power and the control it imposes on others.
We often believe that agreement with
others reflects truth and clarity, such as
when a jealous lover insists on more information so they can satisfy themselves about
their ideas on what their partner is up to.
But they only strive to satisfy their version
of reality, which is a lie to themselves. The
partner, regardless of what he or she did or
thought or felt, will reply in a way to satisfy,
truth be damned. And, if we could know the
truth from each other, do we really want it?
We are very good at hiding our thinking processes and strategies from our own
awareness. Our minds are extremely adept
at compartmentalizing, which by definition
means there are many mental gymnastics we
perform outside of our own attention. Think
of it as a mischievous monkey inside our
heads that is up to no good, hiding things,
throwing some away, making up stories and
feeding us random ideas, memories and
words to speak. We mistake the monkey for
truth.
So is lying a bad thing? Well, probably
not always. Doctors lie to patients, parents
to kids, friends to friends, with the best of intentions, to keep the other safe or comfortable. These lies, done with internal awareness
may add to the ‘greater good’ in the world.
But lie upon lie, layer upon layer deceiving
oneself and others, is self-serving and comes
from fear and insecurity. It is often harmful
and takes a lot of our life energy to keep up.
Is lying avoidable? No. But asking for
or delivering radical honesty is probably an
impossible path also. Who can do that? Who
wants to hear it? So what to do?
For children, removing reasons for lying
is often useful for creating less stress for everyone and teaching them they have options in
their relationships and need not automatically
avoid directness. For example, if a child is not
punished or banished for being human (i.e.,
making mistakes or looking out for him or
herself), then why shouldn’t they come clean?
And if parents can talk about lying as a topic,
without anger or embarrassment (like they
should talk about sex), then perhaps a different lesson can be learned. But that takes more
courage than most people have.
For adults, we lie and will continue to do
so, especially in our love and sexual relationships. However, we can create some awareness for ourselves and our partners and try
to lessen the effects of deceptions and withholding and exaggerations.

Lessons in Britishness
Why Asia loves a UK education
By Tom Lee and Lena Gidwani
C
all it the Harry Potter effect if you
must, or just chalk it up to the romantic appeal of the British Empire
and its charming heritage, but there
is no doubt that demand for a UK education is surging by unprecedented leaps and
bounds.
The last 10 years in particular have
seen a spike in some of the most prominent
schools in Britain establishing satellite campuses across Asia, as they seek to tap into
the region's multi-billion-dollar international
school market. Highly regarded and sought
after, UK curriculum qualifications are recognized by leading universities throughout the
world, including those in the United States
and Canada.
Nicholas Brummitt, Chairman of the
International School Consultancy (ISC), has
been tracking trends for over 30 years. He
says that while international schools still
cater to globetrotters, the blossoming numbers of attendees stem from wealthy Asian
families who want a high-quality, Westernstyle education for their children, seeing it
as gateway to a place at a respected college
while still keeping them close to home. “In
total, there are currently 7,545 Englishmedium international schools around the
world teaching over 3.9 million students,
and almost half of these schools say they
are UK-oriented in their teaching and learning. Three-thousand-one-hundred-and-six
international schools globally are delivering
(all or in part) the National Curriculum of
England. Growth remains positively strong,
especially in Malaysia, where 65 percent of

As supply and growth increases steadily in Asia, this has led to a recent plateauing, if not a decrease, of parents choosing
to send their children to boarding schools
in Great Britain. A recent 2015 report from
the UK-based Independent Schools Council
estimates that families sending children to
boarding schools in the UK spend a staggering average of about RMB90,000 a term
at the senior level. The cost of tuition, combined with the added expense of flights and
loss of time with family, have seen parents
preferring choice destinations within Asia,
as more and more British boarding schools
seize the opportunity to move eastward.
The recent opening of the prestigious
Epsom College in Malaysia is a prime example, marking the 159-year-old British institu-
tion’s first overseas campus in Asia. An official ceremony to celebrate Epsom’s entrance
into the region was filled with pomp and circumstance, graced by Malaysian royalty and
the mayor of London himself, Boris Johnson,
along with one of the project’s major investors, Tony Fernandes, the founder of AirAsia,
who will also sit as chairman on the school’s
board of governors.
Located on vast, 50-acre grounds about
an hour south of Kuala Lumpur, Epsom
College in Malaysia (ECiM) aims to provide
students with the spirit of British tradition and academic excellence right in the
backyard of Asia’s established and emerging
elite. Over the months since it first started
accepting students, the school has seen enrolment skyrocket. Many of the mother and
fathers sending their children are enticed by
Epsom’s lofty reputation in England, their
initial admiration bolstered by the state-ofthe-art facilities. Though these may not have
the musty, time-honored whiff of learning
like the original, ECiM’s smart, spotless classrooms, auditoriums, dormitories and sports
pitches are impressive. Clearly, very little
expense has been spared.
Fernandes, an Old Epsomian himself,
remarked that the opening represents a win
not just for Epsom College and education in
Malaysia, but also for families across Asia,
who now have access to a first-class British
education right on their doorstep. It’s a
sentiment that parents across the continent
share and applaud, not with their hands, but
with their feet, as they march their way in
increasing numbers to the doors of ever-soEnglish academic institutions.

GOSSIP
It’s never a great idea to bite
off more than you can chew,
but that seems to be standard protocol for loaded rookies strutting into our beloved
city. After catching word of
VCat’s unexpected closing
last month, we scrambled to
fabricate a feasible explanation, which went something
like: “intricate network of
Mao notes and pole dancers
ends in serious government
crackdown.” Okay, that’s just
a guess, but we wish every
leader could party like Kim
Jong-un.
If that wasn’t enough
to trigger heartache,
McCawley’s Nanhu branch
in Baiyun District has also
wrapping things up, as
has Australian-run Edge
Restaurant & Bar on
Jianshe Si Malu. In a cruel
play on words, Recall Live
House Bar has officially
been recalled, but in a location like Xingguo Lu, we
doubt it will be sorely
missed.
New to Xingsheng Lu are
Saba and Oggi, marking the
second and fourth branches
of each respectively. Wave
Bar is set to reopen next
month after a short hiatus,
while Cajun House (p56)
– which features Americanstyle seafood – and
Mastercat bar are soaking
up springtime rays in Taojin.
Meanwhile in Foshan,
Spring held a soft opening for its second and
more spacious branch in
the artsy Lingnan Tiandi
district. Three doors down,
Marmalade (p62) – from
the same owner as Summer
House – is kicking off the
late-night scene with daily
live DJs, dancers and solo
singers who will take turns
performing from 9.30pm
until 1.30am. If spring fever
hasn’t hit yet, it’s only a matter of time.

Off the Vine
Shafer Merlot
I
n what has to be one of the
most notable ways a movie
has ever affected wine, Oscarnominated Sideways dealt
a savage blow to sales of merlot
in America. Its protagonist, Miles,
snidely derides the red wine
throughout the film, and so memorable were the snubs that the ramifications are still being felt today,
more than a decade since Sideways
came out.
Of course, the truth of the matter is that, like any kind of wine,
there are some good merlots and
some bad ones. To prove it, this
month we’ve selected a particularly delicious example from Shafer
Vineyards. Run by a father-son
team, the winery is iconic throughout California and known to many
a firm oenophile far beyond the
boundaries of Napa Valley, where it
is located.
The 2011 merlot is an example
of coming through adversity with
flying colors. Though it comes from
a “difficult vintage,” as Shafer winemaker Elias Fernandez puts it, it
is full of aromas, black cherry and
sage particularly dominant. Made
from 75 percent merlot, 15 percent
cabernet sauvignon,
8 percent malbec
and 2 percent petit
verdot grapes, it is
an intriguing wine
that has a luscious,
deep purple hue.
Since this merlot is filled with
the scents of dark fruits, pair it
with poultry, pork or meat that has
been garnished with a similarly
fruity sauce for the best results.

The Reigning
Champion
King beef burger
BY Lena Gidwani
J
ust how traditional is the
beef burger?
Since 1921, when
the first fast-food burger
sold for 5 cents in Kansas,
folks across the world have
chomped down on this German export.
This recipe isn’t your ordinary, sodium-heavy, commercial crowdpleaser. This is the stuff that makes flocking to backyards and patios
for our favorite get-together food worth the effort and time.
Chef Philip Huang from Nook at Aloft Guangzhou Hotel
University Park recommends using minced beef from a cut of meat
that has a little fat. This will not only add flavor, it also ensures a tender burger by preventing the patties from drying out during cooking.
Topside (a prime lean cut of beef from the rear) is the recommended
mince for making burgers, as it contains just the right amount of fat.
Ingredients
(makes 2 burgers):
500g minced beef
2 tsp corn flour
2 tsp of red wine
1 tsp of chopped mixed herbs
2 tsp of butter
4 tsp of olive oil
1 medium yellow onion
2 hamburger buns
Minced garlic and shallots
Lightly whisked salt and ground
black pepper
For garnish:
2 slices of cheddar cheese
2 fried eggs
Pickled cucumbers
Sliced tomatoes
Sliced onions
Tomato sauce
Lettuce leaves
Bacon slices
Preparation:
1) Heat a frying pan over mediumhigh heat. Add oil and red wine
and then the herbs, onion, shallots
and garlic, and cook for two to
three minutes. Transfer the onion
mixture to a large bowl and set
aside to cool.
2) Place corn flour in a bowl. Mix
in the ground beef and add the
cooked, cooled mixture ingredients from step one. Mix well and
make two patties.
3) Preheat a pan to medium-high
heat. Fry the patties for four
minutes till the beef is cooked
through. While the patty is frying,
place the hamburger buns, buttered and inside up, on the preheated pan and toast until golden.
4) Place a slice of cheese on the
burger patty and put it into the
microwave oven for ten seconds.
5) Assemble your beef burger in
any order. It should include the
burger, lettuce, tomato, pickled
cucumber, fried egg, sliced onions
and bacon. Serve hot with a side
of fries and mixed salad.

Cajun House
Get crackin’
text and photos by Jocelyn Richards
F
or a city near the sea, Guangzhou
lacks a proper fish fry. Don’t get
us wrong, local twists on Western
classics certainly spice things up,
but we’d trade the next fish congee for a
cup of chunky New England clam chowder
any day.
Cajun House, a new restaurant and bar
on Jianshe Wu Malu, is stepping up to the
plate as the first American fish fry where
guests can smack their lips to the tune of
buttered Boston lobster (RMB95), Alaskan
king crab legs (RMB238) or New Orleans
fried prawns (RMB38). There’s no view of
the ocean, of course, but there are some
pretty hip bibs, free napkins and an endless
supply of plastic gloves.
This isn’t the first Cajun House
to gain a loyal following on sites like
Yelp, Foursquare and TripAdvisor – the
Cantonese owner runs a successful branch
in San Francisco as well. While the eatery
can’t compete with the allure of grungy fry
shacks back home, it does its best to deformalize things with exposed ceiling pipes, a
collection of state license plates and other
remnants of American pop culture. Service
also strikes
56
a nostalgic chord – they’ll swap
out your dirty plate before cries of
“fuwuyuan” taint the air.
Adventurous eaters should
start with the New Orleans
sauteed okra drizzled in cheddar and
oily garlic sauce (RMB25). It’s not exactly
delicious, especially if you’re picky about
texture, but this veggie is one stealthy superfood that even Dr. Oz hasn’t discovered
yet. The fried rice (RMB28) is soggy, with
shriveled peas and carrots mixed in – nothing but a half-hearted
tribute to local clientele. Go for the
American deep-fried
fish strips (RMB28)
or fried sweet potato
(RMB25) instead,
which rack up the
most orders. Creamy
homemade tartar
sauce is an added
perk.
The majority of
seafood is imported
from the US, Brazil,
Russia and New
Zealand, though
heavy sauces –
Cajun house, lemon pepper and garlic butter – mask the “fresh taste” so confidently
declared by waitresses. Presentation is a riot
and apparently consistent with what happens at the San Fran branch. We sat down to
1-pound bags of lobster, clams and crawfish
doused in 3 inches of explosive sauce. The
whole ‘seafood in a plastic bag’ situation took
a moment to get used to, but one bite and our
senses begged us to let it be. This isn’t fine
dining, after all. It’s Cajun seafood and AsianAmerican fusion concluding in a towering
pile of used napkins and split shells. Dig in –
just don’t wear white.
Price: Approx. RMB200 with drinks
Who’s going: ‘Sea turtles,’ curious young
locals
Good for: A two-hour labor-intensive meal,

Soup Works
A miracle cure
text and photos by Lena Gidwani
I
f you eat in enough Chinese restaurants,
you come to expect certain dishes, done
in a certain way – not all of which are
good. You expect green veggies to be a
bit overcooked, with a briny sauce that’s separated into oil and soy. You expect fried rice
to be cooked to the point where the grains
are beginning to mush into congee. You expect barbecued pork to be a desiccated hog,
saved only by that soy glaze that sits under it
like a bed of rejected pulp.
All of which makes Soup Works a remarkable yet contradictory revelation of
a restaurant. Perched at the junction of
Xingguo Lu and Xingsheng Lu, it had us
bewildered. Judging by its logo, name and
ambience, we were half-expecting a serveyourself, all-you-care-to-eat Western dining
experience featuring the freshest organic
produce, salads and made-from-scratch
soups. Much to our surprise, Soup Works
serves up a cross between cha chaan teng favorites and your local herbal tea and doubleboiled broth house – the kind of stuff Mom
makes when you’re hung-over or sick, or
when you’ve crossed a milestone, like giving
birth or overcoming spermatorrhea.
At first sight, the room, painted in bright
shades of yellow with touches of green
and orchid pots, is airy, bright and packed
with groups who cover every inch of their
wooden tables with dishes. On the bilingual
menu, there’s much to choose from, start-
58
ing with a rambling 23 nourishing soups,
made from crocodile, chicken, duck, quail,
pork and more. These cater, varyingly, to
drinkers, smokers, menstruating females
and those with spleen and kidney problems,
amongst other apparently curable ailments.
Littered with TCM ingredients like ginseng,
ganoderma, anoectochilus and other headscratchers like fish glue, these single serves
are meant to balance the body’s yin and
yang. Bitter and strong, the pork “rips” soup
stewed with dendrobium and cordyceps
flowers (RMB58) is a muddy-looking yet
highly nutritious concoction of stewed ribs
and herbs.
If soups aren’t your thing, their curries,
baked spaghetti or rice, sandwiches, steaks
and noodles may very well hit the spot.
More simpler Cantonese staples like roast
pork (RMB48), shrimp with pine nuts and
corn (RMB68), and fried rice with conpoy
and egg white (RMB38) are extremely satisfactory, while the beef fried with tea tree
mushrooms (RMB58) and braised duck with
perilla and conch meat (RMB58) deliver on
both flavor and health benefits. Teas and
fresh juices are a must; the fig and apple
(RMB48) is a refreshing take on warm tea
and comes with a free and welcome refill.
Of course, like all its neighbors, Soup
Works has a fully stocked bar complete with
everything from a Moscow mule to an old
fashioned, guaranteed to reverse the effects
of just about every nourishing dish you’ve
just ordered. The service also has the sort of
abrupt but pleasant quality that one comes
to expect of such genuine, homegrown experiences. Nonetheless, it’s easy to see why
Soup Works is packed to the rafters with
native patrons, day in, day out. After all, who
doesn’t love soups that promise to prevent
body dysfunction and at the same time widen your scientific knowledge of herbology?
Price: Approx. RMB120
Who’s going: TCM advocates with a soft spot

Sawadee —
Thai Seafood
Restaurant
The Islamic life aquatic
text and photos by Lena Gidwani
W
hile eating halal
can be a challenge in some
parts of China,
the only problem Islamic believers have in Guangzhou is
choosing between a myriad of
delightful options. Halal food,
or food which follows Islamic
doctrine, is widely available in
the city, thanks to its diverse
population. Often, however, it
is confined to Middle Eastern,
Uyghur, Malaysian or Indonesian
cuisine.
Enter Sawadee – Thai
Seafood Restaurant, catering to
adherents hankering for a spice
fix from the Land of Smiles.
With two Thai chefs on board
to cook up a storm with traditionally sourced ingredients,
this new eatery certainly has
its vibe down pat with simple,
home-style decor; it has the
funk and flavor of a backstreet
in Bangkok, minus those sticky
people clamoring for your patronage.
The pork-free, alcohol-free
menu is surprisingly extensive
and rather adventurous. The
barbecued scallops (RMB58) are
zesty and fresh, and enough for
a hungry party of two. If you’re
game, the tom yam in shrimp
chili paste (RMB42) is as hot as
it gets, although the abundant
assortment of seafood and
herbs like lemongrass, sliced
galangal and kaffir leaves ensure your senses are impressed,
rather than obliterated.
Touchstone favorites like
fried rice with pineapple and
plump shrimps (RMB69) exceed
expectations. The rice, served
in the open fruit, is fragrant and
fluffy. Mains like the fried crab
in yellow curry (RMB88) and
steamed pomfret in lime sauce
(RMB88) are a must-try, the latter in particular. Submerged in
a robust blend of lemony chili
soup with a splattering host of
Thai garnish like cilantro, garlic
cloves and lime, the pomfret arrives at the table above a flame
to keep the dish piping hot.
If you have trouble finding
Sawadee, it’s cushioned right
next to its sister restaurant,
Saba, which serves up Arabic
and other Middle Eastern
dishes, also available to order at
Sawadee if you’re craving some
grilled kebabs or shawarma.

spice things up

GALLE HIHOO
Seafood on parade
By WILL WU
W
hile this restaurant’s English
name is nowhere near understandable, its Chinese name,
Jiele Haihuo (加勒海货), perfectly explains what’s being sold: seafood.
Galle is a port city in the southwest part
of Sri Lanka. Judging from the restaurant’s
decor, however, Galle Hihoo has nothing to do
with that city or even that country. Its design
concept, according to the manager there, is a
pirate boat on the Caribbean Sea. We’ve never
been onboard a vessel flying the Jolly Roger,
but the dim interior and pale yellow lighting
give us the illusion of dining in the cabin of an
old craft straight out of the film Ghost Ship.
Freshness is important in seafood, of that
there can be no doubt. But how to guarantee
that what you order in a restaurant is 100
percent fresh? Galle Hihoo offers a pretty
solid answer: instead of ordering from a
menu, diners are led to a room to choose
from a variety of living sea creatures on display, like shopping in a supermarket. Each
kind of seafood is presented with a small sign
stating the price, the recommended cooking
method and location it was imported from.
In addition to these, there are various appetizers available, including assorted sushi,
colorful salads and drinks of foreign brands.
The payment process is unconventional: you
pay market price for the seafood and Galle
Hihoo cooks it for you without charging extra
money.
Baked scallop with sea urchin jam
(RMB38) is a hot sell at Galle. Though the
scallop tastes tender and smooth, the rich
jam fails to cover its strong fishy odor and the
combination lacks synergy. The salt-roasted
tiger prawn (RMB38) is a bit hard to handle,
since shelling is left to the customer and, to
make things worse, the salt on the surface
stains your fingers and feels unbearably
sticky. Still, if you don’t fear getting your
hands dirty, we highly recommend it.
There are three general ways to tell
whether salmon is fresh or not: bright orange color, white-streaked flesh and chewy
texture. While the salmon sashimi (RMB58)
sold at Galle Hihoo meets all three points, it
also falls apart at the seams when you pick it
up. We’ve never, in our long years eating for
a living, seen this happen, so we’re going to
say it’s abnormal – but is it concerning? Fish
experts may email our editors with an explanation.
In the past year, Guangzhou has seen dozens of seafood restaurants like Galle Hihoo
open their doors. With mediocre food and no
outstanding dishes, Galle Hihoo is unlikely to
plunder the hearts of diners or make off with
their gold doubloons.

the endless string of coffee shops
there was likely a surprise. In recent
years, coffee has become the country’s fourth trademark after kimchi, k-pop
and roasted meat.
Entering Guangzhou earlier this year,
Tom N Toms Coffee is Korea’s numberone coffee chain with over 400 branches
worldwide. We assumed the cafe’s owner
was someone named Tom, but the staff
informed us that Tom is simply a common English name and therefore
used as a synonym for the general
public. In other words, Tom N
Toms welcomes every average Joe
to enjoy an afternoon of roasted
beans.
Located in a not-so-thriving neighborhood
near Liede metro station, the brand’s first outpost in the city has an understated entrance.
Don’t be fooled by the outside, however. The
interior of the shop is capacious and decorated in laid-back furnishings and harmonious
colors. In general, Tom N Toms debunks many
common stereotypes surrounding Korean
60
cafes, avoiding busy wallpaper and tacky
background music by high-haired K-pop idols.
The hour we spent in the cozy shop was accompanied by Katy Perry’s smash hits – who
could say no to that?
The coffee selection is similar to what
one would find in an average cafe, with
choices of Americano, latte, mocha and
espresso. The difference lies in the coffee
beans – all are roasted and ground in Korea
to a level between cinnamon and medium roast. Coffee is therefore guaranteed to be light, smooth and well
balanced on the palate; easy to drink
even for an amateur. The caffe mocha
(RMB35), for instance, is served with
a thick layer of whipped cream and
culminates in a rich, gooey aftertaste
without being saccharine. It is the dash of
salt sprinkled on top that makes the magic.
Though the soul of Tom N Toms lies in
its coffee beans, non-caffeinated drinks such
as fruity smoothies and tea are also vended.
The sweet potato latte (RMB32) is a fragrant
afternoon delight, with a lingering milky
aroma that tickles every nerve.
We were most thrilled to spot the freshly
baked pretzels (RMB34-55), which are made
in an open kitchen behind the cashier desk.
Customers can watch as everything from
sweet potato, to seasonal fruits, to barbecued
meat is stuffed into each doughy tube. As the
pretzel is made upon ordering, it does take
a while to be served, but the time you spend
waiting is well worth it after one bite of
piping-hot, chewy dough.
The only shortcoming of Tom N Toms is
its plastic forks and knives – not exactly the
environmentally friendly sign that most coffee snobs look for. Otherwise, it’s a decent
hideout (unless your name is Tom) and the
high-speed Wi-Fi is certainly a plus.
Who’s going: Relaxation seekers after coffee
and a snack
Good for: Slow enjoyment of a gently roasted brew

NEW clubs
Marmalade
Spread the jams
By Jocelyn Richards
F
rom the folks who brought you
Summer House comes the latest club
to juice up Foshan’s nightlife in
Lingnan Tiandi. Set on
the third floor overlooking a
maze of stone alleyways and
beside a rustic bell tower,
Marmalade blends the line
between fine dining and
clubbing, inspired by what
one would find in downtown Berlin or Amsterdam.
Stop in when doors
open at 5.30pm and you’ll
be escorted past the stage and
bar area to seating in the loft or
outside on a terrace. High ceilings and
full windows cast light onto tables adorned
with silverware, prompting guests to taste
delicacies from Italy, Spain, Greece, Germany
and even the Middle East, paired with a glass
of wine. According to the club’s founder
and manager, Andreas Schultz-Zehden,
Marmalade imports all labels directly from
a handful of wineries in France and Spain,
avoiding unnecessary markups from middlemen (wines average RMB300-400/bottle).
62
Guests can choose from main dishes of
prime steak, pasta and salads or lighter options to share over drinks, such as meat
and cheese platters. But Marmalade
turns the most heads with its
oysters, which are imported
fresh from the shores of
Normandy. Though we only
had room to sample the
ice cream – a rare French
variety sold exclusively at
five-star hotels in Shanghai,
Chengdu and Guangzhou –
we can only imagine the other
dishes would literally sparkle
against the club’s candlelit, minimalist white palette.
Stick around until 9.30pm and you’ll
see waitresses promptly remove silverware
from the tables before dimming the lights,
allowing a rich, blue glow to saturate the
walls. We’re told the dining area can be
transformed into a catwalk for model shows,
but the real party commences in the front
room, where international DJs, solo singers
and Brazilian dancers invigorate the stage.
Live performances continue until 1.30am
and alternate every half hour, though parties
generally last even later.
With a bright, open atmosphere,
Marmalade easily distinguishes itself from
Summer House’s dimly lit, furtive ambience.
The club may emphasize its dining component, but the spotlight clearly falls center
stage. Embrace the bright lights and “show
yourself,” as Schultz-Zehden would say. It’s
time to get some bread on that marmalade…
Who’s going: The smart European, selfdiagnosed party animals
Good for: French oysters, nightly live entertainment until 1.30am

new clubs » EAT/DRINK
Fifth Floor
The clock is ticking
By Matthew Bossons
F
ifth Floor Restaurant and Nightclub is
the newest in a long line of establishments to operate out of Yihe Hotel’s
infamous fifth floor.
The first thing any customer should
know is that arriving before midnight is a
no-no. If you do decide to drop in earlier, be
forewarned, it will be as empty as a spilt pint
of beer. According to Kevin Shao, the club’s
manager, the real party doesn’t usually kick
off until the wee hours of the morning, between 3-4am.
Open for only two months, Fifth Floor
offers visitors an eclectic range of music and
reasonably priced drinks. Shao likes to highlight other aspects as well. “We have many
beautiful girls here and plenty of different
musical styles,” he says. “Every night it’s full
and it just keeps getting better and better.”
Although pegged as a restaurant and
club, Fifth Floor’s kitchen is currently closed
and it’s unclear when the venue will start
serving food. For now, keep your expectations somewhere in line with the protagonist’s in Californication: debauchery and a
pricier selection of whiskey.
“One day we hope to have greater food
options and longer hours to serve lunch and
dinner,” adds Shao. Currently, however, Fifth
Floor doesn’t open its doors until 11pm.
With two KTV rooms, hookahs and
a large dance floor, the club feels like a
hangout for locals, though we’re told guests
of diverse backgrounds come from far and
wide – probably for the parties. Fifth Floor
hosts a ladies’ night on Tuesdays, Latino
night on Wednesdays and an Arabian night
on Thursdays.
When it’s finally time to call it a night,
we can almost hear Kesha’s ‘Tik Tok’ on the
horizon. Party it up – at least until the next
fifth-floor sensation moves in.
Price: RMB50-70/drink
Who’s going: The late-night party crowd
Good for: Dancing until the sun comes up

Drama: Macbeth, 7.30pm, HKD250.
Underground Theater of the Fringe
Club (www.hkticketing.com)
Macbeth is the shortest of
Shakespeare’s four great tragedies,
yet one of the most powerful.
Memorably opening on a trio of
prophetic witches, the play deals with
the temptations of power and the
slippery path to damnation. Macbeth,
a brave Scottish general, is told that
he is fated to become the King of
Scotland. At the instigation of his
wife, he sets out on a course of betrayal and murder.

Arguably the pinnacle of the boy

keeping the 90s alive with their continuing tours. I don’t care who you
are, where you’re from, what you
did – as long as you love them, come

to show you the meaning of being
lonely. You know you want it that
way. The In a World Like This tour
showcases the best of BB.

Chuan
Spa at
the Langham
Place, Guangzhou
Spring detox
In South China, springtime isn’t just about budding flowers — it also means
foggy, humid weather that can leave one feeling exhausted by 3pm. If you’re
looking to detox and nourish the body from the inside out, there’s no better
time than now, and no better method than the Chuan Tao of Detox signature
treatment at the Langham Place, Guangzhou. Tailored to eliminate toxins
from the body and strengthen the skin, the spa treatment begins with a
full-body exfoliation to stimulate blood flow and circulation. Guests can also
choose a complimentary Chuan Tri-Bathing Ritual, which helps enhance the
body’s reaction to hot and cold stimuli for deeper relaxation. Beginning with
a herbal steam or traditional sauna to awaken the senses, the ritual bath culminates in a long Jacuzzi soak to open skin cells in preparation for the final
treatment. Guests will then move on to an acupressure massage enhanced
with aromatherapy oils, before finishing with a Thalgo Hydra-Moisture Facial
to restore dehydrated skin. Priced at RMB1,880, the 150-minute treatment
will envelope your skin in protective moisture and leave you feeling rejuvenated before the heat of summer strikes.

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

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; 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
Chinese Super League
Guangzhou's two top teams are poles
apart, judging from the action so far in
this year's Super League. Evergrande
Taobao got off to a flying start, winning
both of their first two matches 2-1, before drawing with Changchun Yatai 1-1.
R&F, on the other hand, are clearly
suffering from the loss of Sven GoranEriksson. Though they came third last
year overall, so far this season they've
bombed in every single match. Okay, so
they only lost by one goal each time, but
we're sure that three losses is not how
they wanted to start the season.
Still, it's early days yet, and there's
plenty of time for R&F to pick up steam.

clubs is not the solution.
I think the government is getting that,
which is what makes this plan for reform so interesting; a 10-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.
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?
