Les Amants Papillons by Benjamin Lacombe

Written by Amy on Monday, December 7th, 2009 ( Start discussion ) | Heart It! (3) | Share This!

I’m shallow like that, just saw this book’s cover and bought it.

Les Amants Papillons or “Los Amantes Mariposa” based on the Chinese legend of the lovers… story as tragic as, or maybe even more so than Romeo & Juliet. I was all “wait a minute” why is her name Naoko? It’s all very Japanese/Chinese mix very much like in Mulan, but I could look passed that because the illustrations are oh so pretty.

Chinese Albums to Show Off

Written by Amy on Tuesday, December 1st, 2009 ( Start discussion ) | Heart It! (7) | Share This!

On my search for 2009 released albums, I stumbled across this post by Layabozi listing 60 Chinese Albums to Show Off — I so need to affiliate with them for YAM. Once Nate gets his crap sorted… Anyway, I digress~~~

They got some people working as musicians or music PR peeps~ to choose the albums to show off as a way to commemorate the 60 years of the Republic of China. Though, there seems to be a glitch on their list because a Hedgehog album seems to be showing more than once there~~~ xD

The ones on the list that I could already be showing off are:

  • Hedgehog – Noise Hit World
    don’t mind the no-sense English. It’s a really FUN album.
  • Faye Wong – Restless
  • Khalil Fong – This Love
  • Chang Shi Lei – Niu China
  • Faye Wong – Fable
  • Carsick Cars – Carsick Cars

And I could be adding to my Show Off list…

  • Faye Wong – Faye Wong (2001)
  • Faye Wong – To Love
  • Yuguo – Babel
  • Zhou Bichang – WOW

Though I’m sure choosing a Wang Leehom album would get me some minus points.

China’s 60th Anniversary on Slow Motion by Dan Chung

Written by Amy on Monday, November 9th, 2009 ( Start discussion ) | Heart It! (7) | Share This!

This really wouldn’t work on a 2hrs broadcast, but I seriously think that CCTV should buy this for broadcast of this year’s highlights. It’d be awesome to see this on the TV. xD Like Officially, you know?

And some shots look like miniature models, right? xD

Check it out yourself here. Awesome stuff.

Project China 2009

Written by Amy on Saturday, October 24th, 2009 ( Start discussion ) | Heart It! (0) | Share This!

Take that Revista Integracion *laughs*

project-china-2009

Anyway, turns out the Swedes have been doing this thing called Project China for a few years now. This year they have made a 148-page-downloadable book called “31 days of Watching China Change,” which is a far better read than anything Revista Integracion can come up with.

They talk about Economics, and how the financial crisis has affected China and its people way of thinking. They also talk about the environmental impact of the crisis in the country and overall life.

You can download the PDF from the Project China website.

Design is a bit dull though…
