Editor's Note

How times have changed. It’s a familiar refrain, one that most people past the age of 30 have probably thought or uttered at least once. It’s become such a cliche that we sometimes forget to consider how true the phrase is. As anyone who’s lived in the Pearl River Delta a while will tell you, it wasn’t so long ago that Guangzhou’s Zhujiang Xincheng was nothing but squat little cottages, and the majority of Shenzhen used to be just a loosely connected association of fishing villages and farmland. In the space of three decades, these cities – like many around China – have completely transformed. Most people know the general outline of this, but few have actually traced the magnitude of the transition.

May

This month, we’re taking you back in time to what South China used to look like with two distinct editions of That’s PRD. In the Shenzhen version, travel through four of the city’s most prominent districts – Baishizhou, Dongmen, Shekou and Overseas Chinese Town – and see how ambitious construction and land reclamation has literally changed the shape of the city. In Guangzhou, we’ve dug up some truly incredible old photographs and spoken to elderly residents to get their take on how things have altered – as well as looking at how the municipal transportation system has evolved and the way the districts have morphed and grown (p34). We may not have managed to nail down Miss Katy Perry for a chat when she breezed into town last month, but we did manage to grab a word or two with electro-pop artist Owl City (p31) and curly-haired singer-songwriter Mika (p30) ahead of their shows in May. Also in this issue, we quiz the stars of Ghost: The Musical (p26), ask Hong Kong theater director Edward Lam (p33) about why hate and marriage go hand in hand, and enjoy a tete-atete with Hu Defu (p32), a musician who for many years was the symbol of the Taiwanese aboriginal rights movement. Seekers after adventure should flick to our community section, where web editor Matthew Bossons has used his love for the great outdoors to compile a list of camping spots around the region (p42). Time to stock up on bug spray!

WIN WIN WIN

In Guangzhou, a pair of tickets to The Roots (p66). In Shenzhen, a pair of tickets to Mika (p30), two pairs of tickets to Colt Silvers (p62), a pair of tickets to Voca People (p62), a pair of tickets of MICappella VS Sirens (p62), a bottle of red wine and a bottle of white wine from Spicy Shell Seafood (p74) and five vouchers from Nogogo (p74).

tales of the city Shark tale A fisherman in Guangdong got more than he bargained for when he reeled in a giant, 1,500-kilogram whale shark – and he didn't even kill it! Not only are whale sharks safe to humans, they're endangered. Nevertheless, when similar situations have happened in the past, they have resulted in the shark’s death and – dare we say it – eventual ingestion. This piscine animal made it out alive. According to China Daily, "locals [in Guangdong] have a custom of releasing big fish to the wild." That's not to say nobody took it for a ride. Yeehaw!

School ties

Organ grinders

Shenzhen school uniforms are now being showcased in London at the Victoria and Albert Museum. After photos from the museum circulated online, the story went viral on Chinese Internet. According to Corinna Gardner, the V&A’s exhibition planner, the blue and white uniform is included in its collection because it was the first to be applied to every school across a city in China – Shenzhen has been unifying its school attire since 2003. The deputy director of Shenzhen Academy of Social Sciences, Wang Weili, recently stated that the intention behind standardizing Shenzhen school uniforms was to foster a sense of community and belonging in the coastal metropolis. The outfits have been a hit (as far as school uniforms go, anyway), with Shenzhen students even wearing the shirts and pants into college and university.

On April 3, officials in Guangzhou announced some changes to the city’s organ donation law. The alterations expand the number of people that can authorize organ removal from a deceased person. When a person has not provided approval to have their organs harvested, a direct family member can provide it on their behalf. In situations where a person has provided approval, any relative, coworker or even community member can give the thumbs up, according to the ‘Managing Guangzhou Donor Bodies’ law. Many Guangzhouers are worried that the list of people who may potentially want them dead just grew substantially, according to RocketNews24. Others have hailed the new law as a crucial step in limiting China’s reliance on organs from death-row convicts. The law has also been applauded for its potential to curb the Middle Kingdom's black market organ trade.

Mad money A middle-aged woman from Hong Kong was caught the Shenzhen border attempting to smuggle nearly HKD2 million out of the mainland. The woman was found to have HKD1.5 million as well as EUR49,750 tied around her chest and legs when she was stopped by customs officials at the Futian Port border crossing. "When I asked her if she had anything to declare to customs," one officer recalled, "she shook her head nervously and her shoulders started shaking. She said she hadn't brought anything at all." The woman, like many of the people stopped at the border with vast quantities of cash, is suspected to be part of a "currency smuggling" ring that pays people a set fee to transport money across the border and hand it to a contact on the other side.

Rise of the machines In response to labor shortages, Guangdong has invested RMB943 billion to replace human workers with robots in key industries over the next three years. According to a plan laid out by the Guangdong provincial government, 1,950 automatons will find homes in factories involved in textile, automobile, home appliance, electronics and construction materials manufacturing. The government’s plan also calls for the localization of robot production by the end of 2017. This is in response to China’s heavy reliance on imported robotic components. In 2014, Guangzhou began taking steps to start a full-fledged robot-making industry, with an output value of over RMB100 billion. By 2020, the city wants 80 percent of its manufacturing completed by robots.

The buzz

CITY Chinese Chat

Eat Drink Man Woman

Photoshopped

Various words and phrases can describe different men and women during different times. This month, we are going to introduce a couple of popular phrases used to denote a certain kind of gent and lady.

Let’s start with the men: 三高男 (三高男 (sān gāo nán) Literally ‘three high man,’ referring to a person with high education, high income and high height. These are the most sought-after males. 三低男 (sān dī nán) Though it sounds like the opposite of the 三高男, the ‘three low man’ is also desirable for his low profile (always putting ladies first), low risk (stable job such as a teacher or public servant) and low restraints (respects women and is nontraditional when it comes to the responsibilities of the sexes).

As for women: 剩女 (shèng nǚ) A well-worn term literally meaning ‘leftover woman,’ it is applied to someone who has passed the conventional marriage age. If these independent spirits have a high income and good education, they are sometimes called 优剩女 (yōu sheng nǚ), translated as ‘leftover excellence.’ 三不女 (sān bù nā) Women who don't go shopping, don't follow blindly and don't compete with others. ‘Three no women’ are extremely prized by contemporary Chinese men.

HEIGHTS

Skywalker Last month, Chongqing unveiled its epic new sky bridge – a 27-meterlong looping pedestrian walkway mounted atop one of the area’s biggest mountains. The bridge is officially the longest skywalk in the world, passing a similar setup at the Grand Canyon by 5 meters (something that the Chongqing authorities were surely thinking about while planning this project). Atop the bridge, one can look down and see a river more than half a kilometer below – and if you’re under the bridge, you may notice its passing resemblance to a toilet seat. QUOTE OF THE MONTH

“There is no new rule to ban customers sleeping on Ikea products in Ikea stores.”

The city governments of Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Foshan thought they had a great idea – to make it easier to apply for government documents like an ID or a passport, they would allow citizens to submit their photos via WeChat, selfie-style. Then the citizens of those cities had an idea too – they could Photoshop those selfies and make sure that only their best selves were appearing on government documents. Authorities cancelled the selfie program after only a few days, after far too many photos coming in were doctored up – not a wrinkle or blemish to be seen. Everyone looked great, but they didn’t look like themselves (and that’s kind of important for passport photos). RANDOM NUMBER

There was panic in the air last month after rumors circulated that China’s Ikea establishments were planning a crackdown on customers getting some shut-eye in their stores. Sleeping Chinese visitors have become a summertime Ikea staple, and the sight of a Guangzhouers on a Fjellse bed frame is how we always know that the seasons have truly changed. Fortunately, it turned out that the whole thing was just a misunderstanding – Ikea says, sleep away!

That’s the amount of money burned by a Hubei 4-year-old who mistook his great-grandparents’ birthday gift for some spirit money. Great-grandpa and grandma had placed RMB5,000 in the boy’s backpack as a surprise present, but forgot to tell him about it before they went to burn spirit money for their ancestors. When the boy’s time came, he grabbed the closest cash on hand – and it turned out it was definitely not cheap spirit cash. His ancestors are surely counting their dough as we speak.

Shenzhen Underground

A tour of MTR station shopping BY Emma Guo

ired of fancy shopping malls where sales staff tail you throughout the store, introducing everything you so much as glance at? Been on a waiting list for weeks to fix your phone’s screen? Bored of your usual restaurants? If your answer’s “yes” to any of these queries, it’s time to go underground. Those who commute to work by metro may already be familiar with the commercial areas in some of the stations, such as Fashion Time in Chegongmiao and Link City between Shopping Park and Convention & Exhibition Center. Featuring boutiques, groceries, local eateries and international products, these underground districts are micro-communities where shoppers can easily spend a day. Here are some of our favorite finds. Start at Fashion Time…

Pops cool in chegongmiao fashion time

Fashion Time in the Chegongmiao MTR station is one of the most well-known underground commercial areas in town. Divided into four districts and with over 500 shops, it houses restaurants, apparel stores and beauty salons – a heaven for shopaholics and curious foodies. Districts B and C are currently the most popular. From the station, walk towards exit D, then head into the hallway on the right and take the escalator up. The entrance of district B will be visible from the top. District B merges into district C, where specialty shops, shoes stores, snack bars, nail salons and clothing boutiques are the main attractions on a 200-meter-long pedestrian street. Those looking for something special should check out Pops Cool in district B. Sandy Jiang owns and operates this small stop, which sells natural, preservative-free popsicles. Jiang makes all the products herself, from the first step of purchasing the fruits to freezing them and placing them on the shelves. Fresh fruits and low-fat yogurt are mixed together for her creamy creations. Jiang’s popsicles taste light on the palate, with some bites containing fruit pulp. To ensure high quality, she makes a batch daily and changes her menu according to seasonal availability. Even though she puts lots of time and effort into her products, she only charges a reasonable RMB15 for each icy treat.

Originally from Japan, Miniso is a combination of a cost-effective version of Muji and a grocery store. Offering more than 5,000 kinds of products, customers can find almost everything they need for daily living. Stationery, accessories and small household items can all be bought for a surprisingly low price. For shoppers who fancy something for their apartment but not a trek to many stores, this is the one-stop place to go.

Saunter through SEG Electronics Market…

Heading towards Luohu, two stations away from the Convention & Exhibition Center, leave via exit A of Huangqianglu to arrive at the heart of Huaqiangbei. Although it’s not literally an underground area, its underground vibe certainly makes it worth mentioning. In Huaqiangbei, any kind of electronic product can be fixed (or found at a cheap price). With over a thousand shops, techies from all over the world come here to buy computer and cell phone parts, as do Chinese office workers just looking to get their smartphones fixed on their lunch break.

And finish at Lemon Street

Keep going to Link City…

Two stations away from Chegongmiao, located in between Shopping Park and the Convention & Exhibition Center, Link City is divided into three different sections. The biggest metro commercial area in China, it’s open from 8am to 10pm. Restaurants here range from spicy Sichuan cuisine to pho, making it a great place to grab lunch, especially for those working around the area. In addition to the many dining options, Link City has several lovely surprises, like Feng Zakka. Full of cute and creative products, Feng Zakka sits in section B, an area inundated with makeup and specialty shops. Walking in, patrons will see many cute refrigerator magnets stuck on the wall. Customers can buy just one, or nab three to take advantage of the cheaper price of RMB20. The shop also sells postcards, wallets, frames, pencil cases and paperweights. Need a gift in a pinch? This is definitely the place to find it.

Continuing into Luohu in Laojie station, Lemon Street at exit C is another underground commercial area on the green line. With hundreds of small shops and booths, it’s a mini version of Dongmen’s shopping road. Those searching for Lemon Street should pay attention to the signs painted on the floor directing customers to and from the metro. For those not alert, the area will get confusing quickly, with many wondering, “Didn’t I just walk past this shop?” Neither clothes nor shoes are appealing here, with ill-fitting and unflattering garments being the norm. Instead, we come here for Dongfanghong Painting, a workshop specializing in customized painted shirts. Since 2008, patrons have brought their own pictures to the shop and, in only an hour, received a shirt with the requested design printed on it. Other than painting shirts, Dongfanghong can also customize sneakers and bags. They charge according to the picture, and to emblazon an image on a tee costs around RMB150.

Year of the Smart Bike

The race to reinvent the (bicycle) wheel BY Erik Crouch

ou’re standing in line at a coffee shop, ready to order, when your cellphone goes off. It’s from your bike: "Someone is stealing me!" Ignoring the eager barista, you burst from the cafe to spot a bike thief in action. He panics, and bails. Let’s take another scenario. You click your helmet into place, hunch over the handle bars, ratchet up to a high gear and begin pedaling so fast it feels like your knees will hit you in the nose. You fly from Haizhu Square along the Pearl River to Zhujiang Xincheng in record time. You pull over, catch your breath and check your phone. Damn! A good speed, but the app says another cyclist has done better. Those are the type of situations that the people at Basic Conception are hoping will attract business. After 10 months of research, design and development, the Shanghaibased start-up is getting ready to present its technology-equipped ‘BiCi’ smart bike to the world. The start-up runs from Shanghai’s Knowledge and Innovation Community (KIC), a sizable campus in Yangpu District that is home to some of the city’s – and the country’s – most promising small technology companies. The basement level of KIC could pass for the offices of Facebook or Google: a sprawling open space filled with 20-somethings on high-end computers, screens overflowing with lines of code or Photoshop designs and

It’s a more premium piece of machinery than the standardissue Flying Pigeon bikes cluttered for warmth on every Guangzhou street corner, but it doesn’t look like something out of Tron 3D-printers sitting haphazardly on cluttered desks. Within the campus, groups of developers and designers are working on anything from environmental-awareness apps to programs helping Chinese tourists rent cars abroad – but only one start-up has its own fully stacked bike rack out front. To the casual passerby, Basic Conception’s BiCi is a simple, if high-end, carbon-fiber bike. It’s clearly a more premium piece of machinery than the standard-issue Flying Pigeon or Phoenix bikes cluttered for warmth on every Guangzhou street corner, but it doesn’t look like something out of Tron. Tucked away in

the frame near the back wheel, however, is the piece that makes all the difference: a deckof-cards-sized computer chip that records a user’s cycling data, tracks the bike’s position via GPS and transmits the information to a rider’s smartphone using Bluetooth. The chip knows all: the biker’s speed, favorite routes, heart rate, calories burned and a plethora of other data points that help tailor each bike to its rider’s style. It remembers where it has been parked and can notify the owner if it’s being stolen – and if the thief gets away with it, the owner can track the bike’s GPS. This information is stored in the bike’s accompanying BiCi OS app, which can be used by bikers across the country – and perhaps someday, around the world – to compare speeds, share routes and coordinate cycling groups. “We sold our first batch of 100 bikes within one hour,” says Su Chunxiao, Operations and Marketing Manager for Basic Conception. “Our team is only about 20 people, but it hasn’t been difficult to attract investors.” KIC is a potential gold mine for innovators with plenty of energy and a good idea. Basic Conception was accepted into the KIC program last March with a team of just five people, and they were given a free work space and technical support from the Knowledge and Innovation Community, as well as business mentoring and industry connections. After six months, with an expanded team and

a ready prototype, they opened to investors. In no time, the BiCi had raised USD1 million in funding. They have already sold a batch of prototype bikes at RMB4,000 each to early investors, and aim for a consumer release this year. In the meantime, they’ve taken to the web, and are crowdsourcing the bike’s production on Pozible, a website similar to Kickstarter but aimed at the Australian and East Asian markets. As they get things ready for the BiCi’s public debut, however, there is competition on the horizon. In the depths of the Baidu campus in Beijing, researchers in a small R&D room hidden away near the staff parking lot have been hard at work developing a prototype that will give the BiCi a run (well, ride) for its money. Developed by Baidu with input from the Tsinghua Academy of Arts and Design, Baidu’s DuBike sports many of the features seen in the BiCi’s design: integrated GPS, carbon-fiber frame, calorie counter and even a similar social networking app. The DuBike also has its fair share of unique tricks: the GPS integrates with Baidu Maps, and can give riders turn-by-turn biking directions via left/right lights on the handlebars and a computer-generated voice that speaks to the rider – directions that can be used for exploring new routes or avoiding traffic on the fly. It also sports a small digital screen that displays

basic stats like the bike’s speed, wheel RPM and the rider’s heart rate. And for Baidu, this prototype is only the beginning. “This is not about selling bicycles,” says Kaiser Kuo, Baidu’s international communications director. “This is about an integrated operating system. We want to make it so that anyone, any bike manufacturer, can use these same specs, the same OS, to make any bike ‘smart.’ It would not be an expensive upgrade to a normal bicycle.” Unlike Basic Conception, Baidu doesn’t seek to produce bikes on a large scale. The company is producing an initial line-up, but ultimately plans to make hardware that could be used to upgrade existing bike designs, giving them the features found in the DuBike prototype. For Kuo, it’s an idea whose time has come. “Since we put out the concept, it has not only attracted media attention but also a lot of attention from the investor community, from cycling enthusiasts,” he says. “It’s one of those things that is a no-brainer. It’s astonishing to me that no-one had done this already. It’s so logical to have something like this, especially in a country like China where transportation is so dependent on bicycles.” Both Baidu and Basic Conception aim to have their products on the market this year. The BiCi has developed a loyal following

among interested investors and tech-curious bikers, but the behemoth that is Baidu – with its massive maps database, social-media savvy and ability to negotiate on level with the country’s biggest bicycle manufacturers – is certainly at an advantage when aiming for mass appeal. It’s hard to disagree with Kuo: smart bikes do seem like a no-brainer, especially in China, where the one thing that people use more than their bicycles are their apps. If 2014 was the year of the taxi app, it looks as though this might be the year of the smart bike. Additional research by Zoey Zha, Tongfei Zhang and Oscar Holland.

Run Long Running Gear Shop In 2007, noted Japanese writer Haruki Murakami published a book called What I Talk about When I Talk about Running. In it, the iconic author discussed his 25-year passion for long-distance running. Inspired by the compelling prose, thousands of readers have since taken up the daily exercise. Eric Zhong is one of them. Having now spent six years sprinting around town, the experienced marathon participant has come to realize that even though running is probably the easiest means of exercise, it does require specialized gear – at least if you want to get serious about it. “If you wear the wrong shoes or you drink water at a wrong time… you are actually hurting yourself,” Zhong says. With the objective of providing appropriate running equipment and advice, Zhong opened the Run Long Running Gear Shop in October last year. Located on the second floor of GT Land in Zhujiang Xincheng, the shop is filled with apparatus for professional competitors and those just trying to keep in shape. Shoes are in abundance, but don’t expect to see common brands like Nike or Adidas that you can find in a regular department store. Names like Salomon, Hoka One One and Tenican are stocked here. Though not familiar to the general public, all three are world-class, specialized sports lines. Light, flexible and air-permeable attire is

attractively displayed on the store mannequins. Different outfits are designed for different activities: Australian brand 2XU is an ideal option if you are doing road running, while Saloman makes great apparel for trail running and hiking. In addition to shoes and outfits, Run Long also sells a variety of protectors like bracers, socks and sunglasses, watches to monitor running performances, massage instruments for muscle relief, snacks for energy supply and books on how to run – yes, it sounds silly, but you’d be surprised at what you don’t know. Eager to put his experience to use, Zhong is more than happy to offer suggestions to customers. Simply tell him your budget and what kind of running you are focusing on, and you’ll be walking out with not just accoutrements, but plenty of tips too!

Sleepless in South China People often comment on how calm I am. The truth is that I have spent years cultivating this calmness. I used to be quite a stress-head and was so worked up that I struggled with insomnia, getting only four to five hours of interrupted sleep a night for most of my early 20s. Eventually, no doubt due to my foul moods and endless complaints about feeling tired, my dad sent me to see an acupuncturist. Luckily for me, his recommendation started me down the road to better sleep, and lucky for you and me, it also led me to a career in Chinese medicine. In TCM, insomnia involves several different problems: difficulty falling asleep, frequent waking, waking early and dream-disturbed sleep. The first step is to identify the underlying reason for your insomnia. Maybe you have liver fire blazing, phlegm-heat harassing the heart, or perhaps your heart and kidneys are not harmonized. Despite the mystical ring to these conditions, each describes

a discrete pattern of insomnia and each requires a different approach. The second step is to provide treatment to promote relaxation and to correct the underlying imbalance that is causing your insomnia. Acupuncture, believe it or not, is relaxing. It promotes a smooth flow of energy through the body, and this has a lasting effect on stress levels, which in turn can make it easier to sleep. I often combine acupuncture with Chinese herbs, so that you receive treatment every day to support the organs and

The final step is lifestyle changes. In my experience, virtually all cases of insomnia involve either bad sleep habits or some emotional or physiological issues. The advice I give is usually about stress management, good bedtime routines, and diet and exercise changes. I won’t nag you, but I do expect you to put in some effort to make changes to enhance the effects of acupuncture and herbal medicine. Okay, maybe I will nag a little. If you commit to your treatment plan, you will see an improvement in sleep. The ultimate goal is for you to fall asleep without difficulty; to enjoy a deep sleep that is not disturbed by vivid dreams; to either sleep uninterrupted or to wake once or twice but fall back to sleep without difficulty; and to wake refreshed after seven to nine hours of sleep. I know it works because it worked for me. // Jon hanlon is a Chinese medical practitioner, raised in the

Fitness

Partners in crime Do you have a workout buddy? If not, get one! It's one of the most important relationships when it comes to your health and fitness. Here's why: 1) For starters, other people motivate you just by showing up and expecting you to do the same. It’s easy to skip a workout or bail out of a run early if the only person you have to answer to is, well, you. You are less likely to give excuses or justify breaking your fitness commitment when you have to be accountable to another individual. And it works both ways. You are there to ensure your partner keeps going as well. Once you’ve both rocked up and you’re ready to go, it’s in your best interest to encourage each other forward and complete the task at hand. 2) Sharing a workout with a peer is much safer for both of you. You and your buddy can spot for each other while increasing weights or trying unfamiliar exercises. You can also keep an eye out for proper technique and improve the efficiency of the moves you’re performing. Be honest with each other about any health problems or injuries you have so you know when to look out for each other during exercise.

3) Your workout buddy might inspire your success by providing a small dose of healthy competition. Our brains are wired to compete, so when exercising with a friend, we will strive more vigorously to perform better. Go ahead and push yourself a little harder to try to beat your mate’s time or weight – in a safe and sportsmanlike way, of course. It’s important not to choose just anyone. You need to find somebody you like and respect who has a compatible schedule for training. It’s good if they are at a similar fitness level to you, or a little better, to kick up your competitive instincts. Make sure to choose someone whose motivation is similar to yours. If you’re training for a triathlon and your partner is interested in having arms like Arnold, your regimens may not be compatible. My workout buddy is a body builder whose fitness level is similar to mine, and we aim to excel every workout, pushing the limits but watching technique. As always, be safe in the gym throughout every lift, and concentrate on form first and foremost. Ultimately, you will be more successful when you exercise correctly, and the extra aid and motivation provided by a workout buddy can help you take your fitness to the

next level!

In Venice Tasso’s echoes are no more, And silent rows the songless gondolier; Her palaces are crumbling to the shore, And music meets not always now the ear: Those days are gone but Beauty still is here; States fall, arts fade but Nature doth not die, Nor yet forget how Venice once was dear, The pleasant place of all festivity, The revel of the earth, the masque of Italy!

City of Sighs

Has Venice lost some of its former luster? by Lena Gidwani

s we disembark in the cliche-worn city of Venice at the break of dawn, time thickens. This half fairy-tale realm, half tourist trap is distorted by light and water – and, these days, the rustle of money. The flood of more than 20 million daytrippers and elite holidaymakers pump muchneeded revenue into the city coffers. Suffering from crumbling palazzos, rising tides and the worst publicity since Napoleon rode through town, this city of 118 separate islands, 150 canals and over 400 bridges has been gradually sinking throughout the past century. Built on piles of larch planks, it is now officially closed to cars. The reason? There’s simply no more room, so much so that there will only ever be some 425 licensed gondoliers in Venice, operating their massively overpriced craft. After a few stops aboard the vaporetto, the city’s iconic and unending flotilla of water buses, we reach Castello, the largest of Venice’s

six sestieri or ‘neighborhoods.’ It’s not every morning you can have breakfast cappuccinos with dollops of foam that look like pointed doge hats next to one of the most important pieces of Renaissance art. But that’s the beauty of Campo dei Santi Giovanni e Paolo, a centuries-old piazza lined with outdoor cafes, all facing the equestrian statue of Bartolomeo Colleoni by Andrea del Verrocchio, a feat of Italian artistry often regarded as the sculptor’s most important creation. If you’re not familiar with Verrocchio, perhaps you know one of his pupils: Leonardo da Vinci. Following a few sweet pastries, we peek inside the huge, gilded Dominican church that gives the square its name. Our next stop on our loose itinerary is the Palazzo Ducale, the center of political power and abode of the doges who ruled Venice for centuries. Lines stretch well around the block-long building, which was destroyed four times by fire and rebuilt each time on a more magnificent scale. The palazzo is a glorious den of secrets, the setting for any number of intrigues. In one passageway, the door to the staircase leads to a hidden prison disguised as a filing cabinet. A glimpse into the torture chamber, where prisoners met their inquisitors, is chilling. As we exit, we spot the Bridge of Sighs, so named for the laments and wails that emanated from within the enclosed walkway of those about

to take their last breath. Moving onto St. Mark’s Basilica, with its splendid gold mosaics and cow-eyed evangelists, the light is dusky. We have just missed the one hour of each morning when it is illuminated. Across the vast marble expanse of Piazza San Marco and under massive billboards touting Trussardi and Guess, bells boom and echo as African traders peddle knockoff handbags, policemen patrol the corners and the winged lion of Saint Mark stands firm atop its pillar, forever stretching its haunches toward the lagoon. The square itself is a torrid site, stuffed to the gills like one big floating Disneyland of selfie-hungry, guidebook-holding folks eager to snap up pizza and gelato, leaving paper and plastic bottles in their wake. Avoiding the visual pollution is hard, but the breathtaking structures are unforgettable. Hungry, we traipse down innumerable alleys, past pockets of gondoliers who bobble on their feet as they call out to tourists looking for rides. We buy ourselves some extortionate Murano hand-blown glass in a tiny shop that we may never be able to find again. More than their southern counterparts, Venetians drink. We stop at a bacaro or 'bar,' to sip spritzes and bellinis, a Venetian tradition that pairs well with cicchetti, small plates of appetizers like polpette, a fried veal and potato meatball, and sarde in saur, sardines

marinated with onion and sugary vinegar. In Venice, hurrying will get you nowhere fast. Here, maps fail. Everyone knows that to be in this floating city is to be forever lost and disoriented, as if in a labyrinth. Sidewalks end without warning, streets lead to brick walls, steps descend into water and there are no escape routes. There’s no better place to wander aimlessly than the narrow sliver of Giudecca. This is Venice minus the flotsam of tourist kitsch and camera-toting sightseers. One side of the island overlooks the commotion of San Marco; the other side offers seaside views of the Lido, home to the Venice Film Festival every September. At night by the Rialto, the most famous of the bridges that cross the Grand Canal, the lights of every trattoria beckon, little pockets of warmth filled with tired visitors. After having our pockets emptied once more inside one of these establishments, we wander down Rio Tera delle Carampane and stumble across Ponte delle Tette, or the Bridge of Tits. In governmental efforts to counter homosexuality, courtesans once displayed their bare breasts here to entice customers. Much later that night, in the uber-cool university sestiere of Dorsoduro, we come upon a group of six Spanish ladies holding an impromptu birthday party. With desserts

like cannoli and bigne al cioccolato from the local pasticceria in a takeaway box, they use the flood risers as a makeshift table. It’s a regular night, perhaps nothing special for locals, but here in Venice every day can be a celebration. Popping open a bottle of Prosecco, they sing in their mother tongue, their off-key voices ringing in the clear night air. It is almost noon when we rise, bleary-eyed, to head to the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, which may well be the best 20th-century house museum in the world. But even here, as we ogle the works, the art somehow feels secondary to the water. Through the mottled glass windows, the canals flow

jade green. Boats bob on their moorings. Suitcases in hand, we head back to Venezia Santa Lucia railway station on the vaporetto. We see semi-hidden courtyard gardens belonging to some of the city’s 50,000 grouchy residents. We spot empty facades at serious risk of submersion, sporting as much life as a China-made Venetian carnival mask. We get off our vessel a stop early and, en route, take a few wrong turns. We’re not irritated though. “Anzi,” as the Italians say. Au contraire. We think that this might just be true happiness: being adrift in Venice on a sun-drenched day with just enough tourists to make you feel right at home.

The Marvelverse converges in what promises to be a visually spectacular sequel to the 2012 hit. With S.H.I.E.L.D. destroyed, Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) and Bruce Banner (Marc Ruffalo) devise the selfaware, self-teaching Ultron. Things go awry when their creation decides that humans are the enemy. With Earth in the balance, Stark and Banner must transform into Iron Man and the Incredible Hulk, recruiting their friends Captain America (Chris Evans), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) and Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) to help save the day. Hopes are high that the film will shatter the success of Avengers, which grossed over USD86 million in China en route to a global gross of over USD1.5 billion.

Based on the popular 2002 online novel, You Are My Sunshine has already inspired one of this year’s biggest TV hits. For the film version, they’ve kept the story about college lovers who reunite after several years apart when one returns from abroad.

Critics may be skeptical that the film will transcend genre cliches, but expect it to dominate the box office during the May holiday.

Unchained Melody

Ghost: The Musical brings a modern romantic classic to the stage By Zoey Zha

wenty-five years after Ghost dominated the box office, setting a high benchmark for modern romances and forever making pottery sexy, it’s back as a musical. Adapted for the stage by the film’s screenwriter, Bruce Joel Ruben, Ghost: The Musical has racked up three Tony Award nominations and raucous reception from audiences during tours of Europe, America and South Korea. The show is on an ambitious China tour that stops off in Shenzhen from May 15 to 22, with tickets flying fast. We chatted with the show’s deputy director, Paul Warwick Griffin, and its stars Liam Doyle and Lucie Jones while they were in town. What were you looking for when casting the role of Sam Wheat?

May 2015 / GZ / www.thatsmags.com

PWG: When Bruce Joel Rubin wrote the movie, he also wrote a stage version. He worked very closely with us right from the beginning and one of those decisions was

All the singing and dancing makes Ghost: The Musical kind of a separate entity casting Sam and Molly. When Liam and Lucie came to meet us, we put them on tape and sent it to Bruce. We had a little talk with him about it and what Bruce managed to distill for us was the es-

sence of a character. There is something that he felt Patrick [Swayze] brought along in the creation of the role, which was a wonderful combination of confidence, charm and, yes, good looks. You need to believe that in real life, Sam Wheat was a winner, so that his sudden and cruel death is that much more traumatic. At the same time, he has to be very kind, compassionate and caring. These are all characteristics that Bruce was very particular about. When you cast Sam Wheat, the actor has to speak for certain things. They have to be around 6 feet tall and play a little guitar. Fortunately, Liam ticks all those boxes. It’s not about Patrick Swayze, but everything that the character Patrick created that must be delivered to the audience. It is important to honor that.

lead » ARTS

What was the most challenging part in casting the role of Molly? PWG: We only have Molly happy for 15 minutes. Most of the show, she is in an understandable mix of emotional extremes. The challenge for any actor is charting the course of grief and loss, otherwise it would be very possible to fall into a one-note performance, which stops being interesting for audiences very quickly. She has to deliver her feelings while staying honest with this life experience. It becomes a very detailed, complicated and emotional journey and a roller coaster for the both of them. But Molly is the one who is alive, so she carries the responsibility of making it look real – to make sure that it’s something we could all connect with despite all of the extraordinary elements. I think that’s the power of the show.

Technically, this show is like nothing you have ever seen before. I’m really looking forward to learning all of the illusions and I can’t wait to walk through doors

You’ve done a Korean version and one on Broadway. Are there any differences between those two and the version that will come to China? PWG: None at all. There is a ‘blueprint version’ of the show that has been done around the world. The Korean version actually got the original London set when they started. The version we did there was the same we did in London and New York, but with a few technical differences. There will be differences in this version, but they are going to be subtle. There is no difference in the structure or content of the show.

Liam Doyle

A rising star on the West End, Liam Doyle has charmed audiences with roles in hits like Cinderella, Wicked and Mamma Mia! For his first major starring role in Asia, he has the difficult task of stepping into a role made famous by Patrick Swayze. Are you worried about being compared with Patrick Swayze? LD: It’s impossible not to compare me with Patrick Swayze, just because of how iconic the film was and how well everybody knows him. But I think the great thing about our show is that you can get everything you see from the movie through a story told on stage, but all the singing and dancing make it kind of a separate entity at the same time. So people will compare, but there will also be a part of me that I bring to the character that makes it very different.

Apart from the comparison, what’s the most challenging part of this role? LD: I think the whole show is quite challenging because you want to bring this beautiful story across well. Technically, this show is like nothing you have ever seen before. I’m really looking forward to learning all of the illusions and magic that happens in the show, like walking through doors – I can’t wait to do that! And the beauty of touring and changing from venue to venue is that you get to see different things. I would not call it a challenge but a privilege.

Lucie Jones

The Welsh songstress first caught people’s eyes and ears with her standout run in the 2009 edition of X-Factor. She’s stepping into the role that Demi Moore made famous, but Jones is no stranger to the limelight. For her West End debut, she co-starred alongside Nick Jonas in an adaptation of Les Miserables. Your character is the one in the relationship who is alive. Is that difficult to convey when performing? LJ: Molly is not sure about the existence of Sam, and she has to feel it. But for me, I will just have this huge hulky man standing right next to me who I have to completely ignore.

The show will be touring across China. What are your audience expectations? LJ: We are not here for very long and we are just going to give everything on the stage to win over audiences. Personally, I want the audience to come see the show and to like me and my performance. I just want to win you over.

Festival Croisements celebrates 10 years By Tom Lee and Tristin Cheung

very year, the Consulate General of France supports a series of events up and down China to celebrate the wonders of French culture. Now celebrating its 10th edition, the Festival Croisements is bigger and more diverse than ever, with everything from sultry chanteuses and classical virtuosos to film retrospectives and even an exhibition on architectural great Le Corbusier. Here, we’ve rounded up some of the most interesting or unusual events taking place around the Pearl River Delta.

Xavier de Maistre

Recognized as a “new star in the world of classical music” by Swiss radio station DRS, Xavier de Maistre is the crème de la crème of solo harpists on this planet. Before he took up his angelic instrument full time, he studied politics in London, which has no doubt come in handy at his teaching post at Juilliard.

However, it was with her portrayal of the Countess in Mozart's Marriage of Figaro that she was launched into international stardom.

She has worked with many important European conductors and made over 70 recordings.

Who would have thought that sex capital Dongguan would play host to a centenary celebration for one of the greatest literary theorists of modern times? Three French experts on the influential thinker will be discussing Barthes’ works and ideas, which greatly influenced the fields of structuralism and semiotics. This is definitely not one for dilettante readers, but should be of great interest to those who are interested in the philosophy of literature.

Identity

Brimming with all the madness of contemporary French theater, La Compagnie en Déliaison is a small indie troupe that has created several bizarre performances that defy easy understanding. Their brand-new show was dreamt up specifically for their China tour and is an adaptation of Gérard Watkins’ play Identity, which won the Prix de Littérature Dramatique in 2010. The plot centers on a couple who are trying to reinject meaning into their lives. To that end, they decide to take part in a competition that has just one question: “Are your parents really your parents?” Confused yet? It’s also being performed in Mandarin by French actors.

Magma

Still full of the same fire that ignited the band more than 40 years ago, French group Magma were on the forefront of progressive rock when they erupted onto the scene in 1969. Exploring fresh ways to realize his vision for musical expression, founder and drummer Christian Vander even created his own language to compose most of the song lyrics. These lyrics tell the tale of Kobaia, an

alien planet with its own mythology and history. Magma’s music was off the wall in the 70s and, rather incredibly, it sounds even more off the wall today, now that the rock and roll insanity of yesteryear has been replaced with largely homogenous pop and electro. // May 29, 8pm, RM90 early bird, RMb120 presale, RMb150 at the door. b10 Live, north side of b10 bldg, north District, oCt-Loft,

Le Corbusier, Modern Architect Giant One of the most visionary architects of the 20th century, Le Corbusier (real name Charles-Edouard Jeanneret-Gris) theorized

extensively on urban planning while creating striking new structures. Committed to modernity, he conceived of blocks of skyscrapers in city centers where airplanes could land, and advocated for demolishing a sizable chunk of historic downtown Paris to make way for his more contemporary concepts of how a city should look and function. This exhibition on his ideas and projects is a fascinating insight into the good and the mad sides of genius.

Music

he curly-haired stud who told us to ‘Love Today’ and ‘Relax, Take it Easy’ is finally making his debut on the mainland. Lebanese-British singersongwriter Mika Penniman is the musical mastermind behind Grammy-nominated Mika, whose upbeat melodies are often compared to the intensity and range of Freddie Mercury, Prince or the Scissor Sisters. We chatted with him about the stylistic methodology of his new album, No Place in Heaven, and his personal connections to China.

You wrote your first song at age 7. What was it about music that attracted you so early on? Firstly, I have to explain that the first song I wrote was actually quite terrible, but funny nonetheless. From a very young age I knew that I became addicted to a certain feeling. Anyone who creates something out of thin air, whether a writer or musician, knows that it gives you this real rush, you feel complete. It’s like, suddenly you have rose-tinted lenses on your sunglasses, you know? But after three days, the feeling goes away, so you have to start writing again… It was a healthy and constructive way of making myself feel good. You write songs for other musicians as well, right? From time to time. Two years ago, I was really excited about writing for others, so in the space of three years I got a lot of different cuts… but then I got sick of it. Everyone thinks that by writing a song, you’re just writing for the audience but you’re not – you’re writing for the record company and there’s politics involved. So after this album, I think I might write a show, which will be a lot more fun than writing for other artists.

Your fourth studio album, No Place in Heaven, will be released this June. What are the leading sentiments behind your latest songs?

May 2015 / GZ / www.thatsmags.com

It’s a songwriter’s album, so it’s pianobased pop song writing. I make all my music myself – I produce or co-produce it, I do the artwork; it’s a very homemade thing. Yet, it’s in conjunction with a melody that you’d normally hear in much more commercial pop music. This record sounds very organic and simple but it’s really melodic, so it has the charm of a pop album but with the honesty of an indie songwriter’s album.

I remember being at the opening of the first-ever McDonald’s in Beijing and seeing the big excitement Which artists are on your personal playlist right now? There’s a French singer called Christine and the Queens, who is really, really fantastic right now. She’s great live and sings a little bit in English too, so even if you don’t speak French it doesn’t matter. There’s also this amazing little Australian rock girl, Courtney Barnett. I think she’s a hurricane waiting to happen. She hardly sings a word but recites… She has a great vibe.

You’re coming to Shenzhen on June 1, have you been to China before? Yes, I have been to China nine times as a tourist. The first time was with my mother and my four siblings in 1996. I remember being at the opening of the first-ever McDonald’s in Beijing and seeing the big excitement. It was a very different China then; it’s been incredible to see the transformation. Three of my sisters speak fluent Mandarin and lived in Beijing for years. However, in the context of all of that, I have never played in [the Chinese mainland]. This is my first time, so I am very excited.

Is it true you speak a bit of Mandarin as well? I studied it for nine years, but I’m not as intelligent as my sisters. I used to bribe my Chinese teacher at school with chocolate so she wouldn’t make me do my vocab tests… because I never studied. But yes, I do speak a bit.

What does your pre-concert routine look like? I brush my teeth. I do warm-up sounds that make me sound like that fat opera singer in The Adventures of Tintin. And then, when I walk onstage, it’s like walking into a boxing ring – you do things you would never do in real life. It’s quite cathartic. It’s good for the soul. Anything else you’d like to tell your China fans? I find the fact that I’m even able to go over there is a real privilege, and I invite them to sing and dance and lose themselves with us on stage as much as they possibly can. Because that kind of energy is essential – not only welcome, but essential.

Internet Killed the video star

An interview with Owl City By Andrew Chin

truggling with a bout of insomnia at his parent’s house in suburban Minnesota, Adam Young posted a few musical experiments onto MySpace eight years ago under the name Owl City. Now, the 29-year-old is about to embark on his third Mainland tour, returning to the Mixing Room on May 16-17. One of social media’s first music successes remains among its biggest, a fact that still baffles its mastermind. “Ultimately this sort of life found me,” says Young. “When I was younger, my dad had the oldies on a lot, so I listened to a lot of Simon and Garfunkel and the Beach Boys. There’s something about them. All of the songs are catchy, rich with harmonies and so well-arranged. It was a big influence.” At 16 years old, he started the pop-punk trio Windsor Airlift. The group would shift to ambient post-rock, part of a musical journey that saw Young experiment with disparate genres from electronic screamo to comedy rap with self-released projects like Charlton Heston and the Blast Beats, the Wellington GiggleBomb Experience and Apes with Guns. “When I started making music, I had to dig around to figure out what felt right,” he explains. “I wound up in an electronic pop music world with Owl City, and couldn’t stop writing upbeat, hopeful sounding music that has a bit of whimsy. Until it starts becoming uninteresting – which I hope it never does – I’m going to keep on trying it.” Thanks to an accessible web presence, Owl City’s following rose alongside MySpace. By the time they signed a record deal with Universal Republic in 2008, their MySpace page had been viewed more than five million times, while their first independent hit ‘Hello Seattle,’ was listened to more than 3.5 million times. Online success translated into the real world when the 2009 single ‘Fireflies’ topped the charts in 26 countries en route to selling more than 10 million copies. That year, Young made his first trip outside North America to perform sold-out shows in Beijing and Shanghai. “It was all so new to me,” he recalls.

“When I showed up to the venue, there were all these fans who knew all of the lyrics to the songs. It was so surreal and continues to

be whenever I come back.” Despite early criticisms that Owl City was treading on the same electro indie-pop terrain established by hipster-approved The Postal Service, the group has soldiered on. In 2012, they scored their second US Top 5 hit with the Carly Rae Jepsen assisted ‘Good Times.’ Collaborations have been kind to Owl City, which has worked with electronic music superstars (Armin van Buuren, Paul

van Dyke) and pop-punk icons (Blink 182’s Mark Hoppus). Recent singles have featured violinist/performance artist Lindsey Sterling, Christian pop star Britt Nicole and Japanese rockers Sekai no Owari. “I usually pick up on some kind of melodic sensibility that makes each song,” Young explains. “It could be a vocal melody or the way the synthesizers or guitar tracks are arranged. I usually gravitate towards really catchy music and try to further that.” There will be even more collaborations on Owl City’s fifth studio album, tentatively slated for a summer release. Young is elusive with the details, but has trouble containing his excitement for the disc. “There’s a lot of variety on the album, but I try to make sure each release is a continuation of the one before it. I want every album to feel current but also have a timeless quality,” he says. “I pay attention to what’s going on with the music world and EDM has become really popular on American radio. It was fun to try to channel that in my own way. It’s very dynamic and punchy.” With the album “really close to being wrapped up,” Shanghai fans can only hope that a few new songs will make an appearance during the show. Regardless, Young promises that the touring quintet is a much different entity from the records, which he says have “more of a producer or DJ sound.” “The live sound is bigger and more like an anthem,” he explains. “I have this great guitar player who is so good at translating some of the synthesizer lines from the album onto guitar, so it’s more rock oriented. There’s more of a band feel where we switch around and play different instruments.” // May 19, 8pm, RMb380-680. sun yat-sen Memorial hall, 259

Oceanic Blues

Taiwanese aboriginal singer Hu Defu and his longing for a lost home By WILL WU

efore 2005, Hu Defu, known as Ara Kimbo in his indigenous language, was a strange name to most Chinese. Yet across the Taiwan Strait, on the island once called Formosa, this 1950-born aborigine has been treated as a hero, a pioneer and a spiritual leader. “I prefer being called and remembered as a singer instead,” says Hu modestly when we ask about his reputation. “I am just a child from the mountain. I take singing as my way of talking.” Currently, this silver-haired musician is living a simple life, running a small beef noodle restaurant in his hometown, Taitung, and planning to write a book similar to One Hundred Years of Solitude. For most of his life, however, he has been a beacon for the aboriginal rights movement and the promotion of aboriginal culture in Taiwan. Thought by some to have held sole dominion of the land for thousands of years, Taiwan’s aborigines now account for only 2.3 percent of the total population. In addition to losing control of most of the island’s territory and being marginalized in society, the indigenous people also face the extinction of their unique languages and diversified traditions. Son of a Pinuyumayan father and a Paiwan mother, Hu was the child of two tribes. Seeing the predicament that his people were experiencing, he decided to attack the problem with a gentle but penetrating weapon: music. “I sing because I love the land and the aborigines living on it. I sing without any political

May 2015 / GZ / www.thatsmags.com

intention. What I fight for is not power but due rights,” explains Hu. Using his musical talents, he, together with his best friend Li Shuangze, started the Sing Our Own Song campaign in the 1980s. The initiative was designed to encourage aboriginal Taiwanese to embrace and perform their native words and tunes. As he said at the time, “kids who cry get the candy.” Only those who make themselves heard ever facilitate change. After more than 20 years of being actively involved in the aboriginal rights movement, Hu finally came to fulfill a singer’s conventional duty: making albums. His first full-length release, In a Flash, appeared in 2005, the year he turned 55 – a relatively old age for a debut. “I never thought of releasing an album before. I simply wanted to deliver strength to aborigines through the songs I sang. But later I came to realize that I was the first one in Taiwan to sing while playing. It is not easy to do that. So the first album was born.” Greatly inspired by the dean of his alma mater, New Taipei Tamkang High School, Hu blends elements of Taiwanese indigenous music with Western folk and African-American gospel music, forming a distinct style that has been called “oceanic blues.” In a Flash features just one instrument, the piano. Smooth melodies are paired with simple lyrics, the casual singing style conveying Hu’s homesickness – in 2005, he resided in Taipei and had been living away from his hometown for 40 years. Ten years have passed in the blink of an

eye. Hu is no longer a wandering soul far away from home. He said goodbye to the island’s bustling capital and returned to the quieter Taitung where he recorded his second album, Sweet Home Ka-Aluwan. Released in March of this year, Hu describes it as “a conclusion to my homesickness.” Age has bestowed on Hu an even deeper voice with which to sing out his bittersweet feelings for the land he was born on, as well as his heartfelt gratitude to people who have inspired him. Among the tracks on his second album, there is one that particularly stands out. Lasting 11 minutes, it took Hu 10 years to finish composing and arranging, and it is the first song Hu has recorded in the Pinuyumayan language. “I left my hometown at the age of 11. Pinuyumayan is the farthest place my homesickness reaches,” says Hu. While Hu has said he will never return to live in Taipei, the next step in his music journey is to write songs about Taiwan’s largest metropolis, a place he resided for 12 years. “The city taught me a lot, good and bad. And I have made many great friends there. Memories, irreplaceable memories are there, hidden in every corner of the city. How can I ignore it?” In fact, Hu says that he now feels a certain homesickness for Taipei. As a man who has long been concerned with the rights of a people who have almost entirely lost their native land, it’s not surprising that his music continues to be preoccupied with ideas of home.

I Hate Therefore I Marry

A play about how despising someone is all part of love By WILL WU

恨

(hen) is literally translated as ‘hate’ in English. But in Cantonese, its meaning goes far beyond that. Desire, unwillingness, envy and jealousy are all concealed behind this single character. Veteran Hong Kong theater director Edward Lam Yick-wah has adopted the character to name his recent thespian work: Hen Jia Jia Zu (恨嫁家族, I Hate Therefore I Marry). Though the translated English title fails to convey the complex sentiments behind the words, it does cast a clear light on the theme: marriage. But why does ‘hen’ lead to marriage? Doesn’t the wedding vow read, “I promise to be true to you in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health; I will love you and honor you all the days of my life?” “In Chinese families, it is unfortunate that hatred, rather than love, binds people together,” according to Lam. It’s a sad conclusion to draw, but also an intriguing one. How do negative emotions strengthen a family unit? Why is this the case? And what are the consequences? Lam addresses these questions in his three-hour play. What the work discusses is much more than leftover women’s craving for marriage and the must-know skills for capturing a man’s heart. The scope of the plot also examines typical Chinese expectations towards women and women’s self-exploration with regards to these expectations. “What Chinese expect most is life being complete. And what does complete really mean? Many will answer, ‘to marry and have

a family.’ Gradually, that becomes a universal expectation of parents for their children. Once the reality fails to fulfill the expectation, the latter transforms to be pressure, or even a burden,” says Lam. It is true that even in today’s society, the major criteria to assess a woman’s success are still whether she has married and how she manages the family. But if you think the play sounds like a feminist drama, then you’re wrong. “I scripted the play because I am interested in why women want marriage while knowing the possibility of divorce, what men they would like to choose as their life-long partners and where such values come from,” says Wong Wing-sze, a playwright noted for her wicked sense of humor. The action takes place on an empty stage with only chairs and a square platform. “Our long-time collaborating set designer Ewing Chan Yau-wing died of acute leukemia two weeks before the show was put on for the first time in Hong Kong. That’s the primary reason we set the stage this way,” says Lam. “Luckily, I have a wonderful cast.” Unlike Lam’s previous, sold-out musical drama Awakening, which had a 109-performance run in Taipei in 2010, I Hate Therefore I Marry is not a star-studded production. The 13 Taiwanese stage actors “are not highly sought-after icons,” says Lam. “But they are capable enough to grab all the attention with words they say and movements they do on stage.” Experienced Taiwanese theater actress Hsian Ying-hsun is in the lead role as the

eldest of four sisters. Part of a broken family – their father has abandoned them and the mother is faking insanity – the four siblings all have their own emotional issues. Living under the same roof, the quartet denies love, doubts marriage and hates bonding. They are continually reminded of their female status, that their true value lies in marriage. Lam calls the play his “test-tube baby.” Though the director is noted for modern reinterpretations of literary classics such as Madame Bovary and Romance of the Three Kingdoms, I Hate Therefore I Marry uses an original script and a relatively unknown cast – an anomaly amidst his oeuvre. The whole drama is like a giant mirror, reflecting the common person. “The four sisters are complicated figures. It is hard to define them with only one or two adjectives,” notes Lam. “Due to the complexity, audiences find it easy to see the reflection of themselves in the four sisters. The success of a stage work, I reckon, lies in this approach.” “Go ahead, never look back, or you may fall,” says the mother to her eldest and soonto-be-married daughter at the end of the play. It is also what the playwright and the director want to convey to audiences. As Lam puts it, “The biggest gift life bestows to us is that love and hatred fall on us. We are able to experience them both.” // in Mandarin with english subtitles, i hate therefore i Marry will be staged May 23-24, 7.30pm, RMb80-880. opera hall, Guangzhou opera house, 1 Zhujiang xi Lu, Zhujiang xincheng, tianhe District, Guangzhou 广州市天河区珠江新城珠江西路1号 (020-3839 2888, www.gzdjy.org)

s China's primary harbor, Guangzhou served as the nation's sole window to the outside world for centuries. The sharp contrast between the city's long history and thriving modernity is nowhere clearer than in collections of unique photographs. Some views are barely recognizable – Guangzhou’s skyline is nothing like Canton’s – but others have barely changed. At Hualin monastery, only the hookah pipes are missing from the monks’ table. Though many historic images were destroyed during the Cultural Revolution, some of the city’s past has now been rediscovered in the archives of Western businessmen and missionaries.

COV ER STORY

I was born into a Baptist family. My father was a preacher. Thanks to the missionaries, Guangzhou saw four religious high schools – Pui Ching, Pui Ying, True Light and Pui To – built in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Credit should be given to the Western missionaries for significantly raising women’s status in society. They actually built the girls’ schools first, which would have been unheard of in traditional Chinese culture. Boys’ education was also important, but their schools came after. I studied at Pui Ching. Having religious belief was not required for students enrolled in religious schools. At my time, less than one-third of the students were believers.

The rise of Guangzhou’s most affluent district

imon Lei, a Guangzhou resident nearing his 70th birthday, isn’t into playing mahjong at the park or sitting idly on a sofa from Ikea. Instead, his easy chair is a Chippendale-style collector’s item from England, his oversized glasses are round enough for a hipster and his English is so fluent one would assume he grew up overseas. With 140 countries under his belt, Lei has traversed most of the globe. Yet it’s not the clutter of foreign mementos that are the source Lei’s pride, but a collection of photo albums, memoirs and encyclopedias of Dongshan circa the early 20th century – priceless records of his hometown in its finest era. “Back then, the city was divided into four regions,” recalls Lei. “The north was an administrative area, where government officials lived. The south, which we called Henan then – now Haizhu District – was the industrial area, where factories were housed. The west was a commercial area and the east, Dongshan, was a residential area.” Guangzhou’s ancient city wall, built during the Ming Dynasty and destroyed by the government in the 1920s in an effort to modernize infrastructure for automobiles, stretched west from Yuexiu Lu to Ximenkou and south from Yuexiu Shan to Nanguan. Remnants of the wall can still be seen today outside Ximenkou metro station and within Yuexiu Park, near Zhenhai Tower. According to Lei, regular citizens couldn’t

May 2015 / GZ / www.thatsmags.com

live within the city wall – it was reserved for government officials and the military – so most lived either west in Xiguan (today’s Liwan District) or east of the city center, in Dongshan (now part of Yuexiu District). For years, Dongshan flourished under development spearheaded by Western missionaries, who settled there since it was the only area of the city with land available for purchase. They set up churches, schools and hospitals modeled after institutions in their home countries. When overseas Chinese returned home and saw the progress in Dongshan, they too decided to move to the district, building three-story houses with gardens and garages according to what they’d seen abroad in Western countries. Before long, Dongshan was a picture of modernity. Even the local government observed the trend with awe and crafted further plans to turn the district into a modern, comfortable residential neighborhood. “The living standard then was really no different from what you’d find in cities like New York at the time,” notes Lei. “We had bakeries, private cars and all kinds of electronic appliances.” Lei’s school regularly screened films for students. Athletic teams, a full brass band (with instruments imported from the US) and international teachers were commonplace in Dongshan schools but not in other parts of the nation. A popular saying at the time, “Dongshan gentlemen, Xiguan

ladies,” reflected new standards in society. Men in Dongshan were considered attractive for their athleticism, fashion sense, experience living abroad and ability to drive a car. Xiguan ladies were treasured for being traditional and humble, having grown up in Guangzhou’s most culturally rich region of Xiguan. “Dongshan was not a big piece of land, but many people who played a crucial role in the history of modern China used to live here,” explains Lei. “Mao Zedong and his wife lived in Dongshan. Sun Yat-sen, Zhou Enlai, Chiang Kaishek… the Communist Party held its national conference in Dongshan. Guomindang leaders lived here. So many important decisions that influenced Chinese history were made here.” Today, the Western-style architecture of Dongshan stands out from adjacent high-rises, though most of the original houses are empty. “Families have held onto their property, but many don’t even live in China anymore,” sighs Lei. “In 1949, there were about 1,400 independent houses with gardens in Dongshan. Now, there are only 700 left.” The winding avenues near Dongshankou have been tousled with decades of change since Lei’s time, but even a weak imagination can envision their brilliance. And some afternoons, when the sun folds just right across an abandoned balcony or cathedral bells fade into a familiar wind, one can still breathe in a taste of life as it once was.

COV ER STORY

I was born in a family that was considered relatively wealthy in the 1950s. We had relatives abroad who would occasionally send us foreign currency, which the Chinese government wanted at that time. You could exchange US dollars for a certificate from the government, which enabled you to buy rare imported goods at the Overseas Chinese Store based in Dongshan. Before the Cultural Revolution, young people in Guangzhou had a range of options for entertainment. I was part of the boating club and parachute club, which met on Shuiyin Lu, near the Graveyard of the 19th Route Army. We would actually jump from a 60-meter tower and learn how to work a parachute. Fun, right?

I studied at Pui Ching as well. Private, religious schools charged a higher tuition than public schools as they offered a much higher quality education. Nearly every teacher employed at my school was later invited to teach in a university after the Liberation War. Even though we were exposed to foreign cultures with a Western-style curriculum, less than 10 percent of students chose to go abroad after the college entrance exam. At that time, we all preferred to major in engineering or medicine. Out of the 156 students in our grade, only one studied liberal arts and two majored in visual arts. It was a very prestigious school back then â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one of my classmates won a Nobel Peace Prize and another won a Fields Medal.

n the dusty lanes of early 20th-century Guangzhou, it would have been rare to spot a local resident fiddling around with a tripod. Instead, visiting missionaries were often the ones to develop snapshots of old Canton, though many of their photographs spent decades buried in basement archives overseas. The collage featured here only resurfaced in the fall of 2013, when George McKibbens, an avid historian based in Guangzhou, stumbled across one of the photos online and traced its origin back to the Presbyterian Archives Research Centre in New Zealand. From old dentist shops to mass protests, the complete collection reflects the experiences of Presbyterian missionaries Alexander Don, George McNeur and Annie James among many others, who worked together on the Canton Villages Mission from 1901-1951. This past April, with additional support from the Guangzhou government and New Zealand Micrographics, over 2,000 photographs from the archive were scanned and added to the Guangzhou Library. Now, for the first time ever, a visual trip back to historic Canton is literally only a metro ride away.

COV ER STORY

When I was a kid, my family lived on Zhongshan Si Lu. You know, it was a very central place in Guangzhou back then. One thing you may find it hard to believe is that there was no toilet built in the house during the 1960s. We all used public toilets. Before 1978, young girls didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have many choices of dress. Black, blue and white were three major colors used in making clothes. And we all wore similar clothes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; plain colors with no patterns, just like uniforms. There was no such thing as design or original styles. Only size mattered. I seldom got new clothes. My mom altered her clothes and gave them to me. Altering clothes and passing them down to children was common in every family.

COV ER STORY

You can judge by my name that I was born in the 1950s. People at that time loved to name their children after the prosperity of the newly founded country. Like my name, Guoqiang (国强), means ‘strong country’. Answering Chairman Mao’s call to go “down to the countryside,” almost 95 percent of my high-school classmates went to work in the outskirts of Guangdong province. I was sent to Zhangjiang city and worked there for nine years and seven months. Every year, 14 days were given for family visiting. Yet many chose to give up the vacation in order to contribute more to the country. We had only two ways to contact our families – letters and telegrams. The former was preferred as the latter was considered expensive – RMB0.025 per word. People in my time were obedient, not as rebellious as the youth nowadays.

Against All Odds The legend of Annie James

owadays, a so-called ‘strenuous’ journey to Guangzhou consists of potential delays, malfunctioning in-flight entertainment and a salty cup of ramen. Preparation generally maxes out at 20 minutes of survival Chinese phrases – most likely over a glass of wine. At the turn of the 20th century, however, the average missionary spent nearly half a decade learning Cantonese and an extra two or three years mastering medicine before landing in Guangzhou. If the four hellish months at sea failed to squelch any lingering excitement, the high odds of dying from bubonic plague upon arrival would have surely done the trick. Yet for those craving a challenge, the path was paved with gold. From the Canton Villages Mission of New Zealand, one woman in particular stood out for her relentless commitment to the region despite an increasingly tumultuous political landscape. Annie Isabella James was appointed as an evangelist and stationed at a compound in Jiangcun – now Baiyun District – in 1912 at the age of 28. Between 1912 and 1951, James journeyed back and forth between Canton and New Zealand no less than 11 times to complete further study in maternity and nursing as part of her mission. In 1925, the course began to turn rough. Anti-imperialist sentiment swept across the nation, forcing missionaries to evacuate their compounds, including James, who was eventually transferred to the remote area of Kaai Hau – today’s Conghua District. James served in Conghua from 1930 until 1951, where she opened a successful hospital, founded a Sunday school, led

Some of the photos in the collection are her actually dodging Japanese air strikes in her little Ford weekly study groups and organized services of worship. She even adopted five children. Before long, everyone in the region knew her by name – her Cantonese name, Tse Koo, which meant ‘beautiful and peaceful.’ In 1936, to honor her achievements, the church provided James with a new Ford V8. When the Japanese invaded southern China in 1937, James refused to leave her post. Instead, she set up a clinic 10 miles down the road and returned to the hospital every few days, fleeing whenever Japanese forces appeared. “Some of the photos in the

[New Zealand] collection are her actually dodging Japanese air strikes in her little Ford,” describes George McKibbens, who first helped draw attention to the archive in 2014. “She was making house calls to people as one of the only missionaries who escaped confinement.” The following decade only turned dimmer. Although the hospital was operating with enormous success – treating an average of 1,750 patients per month – James returned to New Zealand in poor health. Upon her return to China in 1947, political instability

in the region affected plans for the hospital’s development. Still, even after the Communist takeover in 1949, James refused to leave. Two years later, when a general brought his ailing baby to her clinic for treatment, fate took a calamitous turn. The child passed away, and the official put James on trial for murder. “In those days, local authorities would ask all the villagers to come to a public trial. They were encouraged to shout to have the person executed,” explains McKibbens. But not one villager showed up to James’ trial. With no way to prosecute her, officials deported her to Hong Kong, where she remained until returning to New Zealand in 1961. “It’s really quite a tragic story,” sighs McKibbens. “A lot of people built their lives here and were part of the community… and then they were just asked to leave. It’s difficult to talk about. It’s not so much sensitive as it is unflattering.” Politics are often glossed over during local Guangzhou exhibitions of the New Zealand Presbyterian photo collection, highlighting instead a history of amiable ties between the two nations. Yet James’ story challenges viewers to open their eyes to a much more realistic picture of history, one in need of further exploration. “I think the next step is to start finding more of these collections in different parts of the world and make them widely available,” suggests McKibbens. Indeed, myriad accounts surrounding old Canton remain untold, concealed within forgotten photographs, artwork and other keepsakes from the era – a controversial age of imperialism, revolution and transformation.

COV ER STORY

I started to work at the Guangzhou Sewing Machine Factory in 1953. The average monthly salary at that time was around RMB20-30. I was lucky as I was a veteran mechanic. I earned RMB60 per month. The Haizhu Bridge, which is often jammed nowadays, was also busy back in the 1970s. It is a bit difficult for the young to imagine that the bridge was fully packed with bikes. Public transportation had already been developed, but people relied heavily on two-wheel vehicles, since owning a bike was a symbol of success at that time. Hongmian brand bicycles were highly sought after and cost around RMB100. We used to have traffic jams, but in a less-polluted way.

The Great Outdoors

Places to pitch a tent by Matthew Bossons

hen most people think of China, they picture the Great Wall, rampant pollution and hectic driving, not tents, campfires and three-day-old underwear. That being said, The Middle Kingdom, and specifically Guangdong Province, harbors no shortage of unique camping locations. Despite this, camping is not a popular pastime, partly because doing the relevant preparatory research can be difficult. This month, we at That’s decided to do the legwork for you and showcase seven of the best camping spots the south has to offer. Yingde Grassland, Tianmengou Scenic Area, Qingyuan

This scenic location is perched on a mountaintop, at an altitude of 1,100 meters, and is said to be the site of one of China’s first primitive villages. Set your tent up amongst the flowers and enjoy the local scenery, which includes the behemoth 136-meter-high Tianmen waterfall. The area also boasts numerous geothermal features, including hot spring baths to help you unwind after a long day of exploring. Yingde Grassland is perched at a reasonably high altitude - temperatures and weather will fluctuate - so bring appropriate clothing. Dressing in layers and packing waterproof gear would be wise.

May 2015 / GZ / www.thatsmags.com

Understand: Be forewarned, Yingde Grassland does not come with flush toilets or showers. Must do: See the Tianmen waterfall; sample the renowned Kowloon tofu and Yingdehong tea. Getting there: Trains to Yingde Xi Station can be boarded from Shenzhen Bei and Guangzhou Dong, both taking roughly 90 minutes. Once in Yingde, take bus 11 to Chengxi Passenger Station, then take the shuttle towards Boluo and get off at Jiuzhou Yizhan scenic spot.

Shimen National Forest Park, Conghua District, Guangzhou

Located only 86 kilometers away from Guangzhou, Shimen National Forest Park is easily accessible, with abundant road access and parking lots. The park is also home to Conghua’s hot springs and, let’s be honest, who doesn’t love relaxing in warming mineral water? Understand: Shimen National Forest Park is popular in the fall with those wishing to enjoy the park’s foliage transformation from green to a brilliant red. Expect crowds from mid-October to mid-January. Must do: Unwind with a cold beer in Conghua’s hot springs.

Getting there: There are several buses from Guangzhou and Shenzhen to Conghua, leaving from different passenger stations. Once in the city, board the Conghua Daling Forest Farm shuttle bus.

Ruyuan Grand Canyon, Shaoguan

This is the place to enjoy some of Guangdong’s best hiking. The imposing Ruyuan Grand Canyon is an ideal adventure location and has been previously recognized as one of the top 10 tourist destinations in the province. The canyon is more than 300 meters deep and 15 kilometers long. Camping here also means you can enjoy crystal-clear water and the thunderous roar of waterfalls, the most imposing of which is Tenglong Great Fall, which plummets 200

lead » COMMUNITY

meters into the valley below. Understand: It can get cold at Ruyuan Grand Canyon, so be sure to pack plenty of clothing. A warm sleeping bag is also advisable during cold winter nights. Must do: Taste the local delicacies, such as fried river snails and fried sour bamboo shoots. Getting there: Take a train or coach to Shaoguan and transfer to a line 3 bus headed to Xihe bus station. From there, a bus goes to Ruyuan every 15 minutes from 7am-5pm.

Lianhua Mountain, Panyu District, Guangzhou

and sand worthy of popping a tent on. Xichong offers city-weary expats sunbathing, fishing, beach volleyball and coastal hiking. The site’s amenities include camping for RMB40 per night, flush toilets, an outdoor shower, picnic tables, a basic store and a snack bar. Understand: Trekking the coastline of the Dapeng Peninsula is not always easy. Some sections require local knowledge and proper footwear. Be sure to inquire before setting out. Must do: Go fishing and have your catch cooked at one of the many local seafood eateries on Dapeng Town Seafood Street. Alternatively, chow down on some fresh lobster. Getting there: From downtown Shenzhen, it takes roughly two hours. Take the 360 bus to Nan’ao Hotel to connect with the 989 minibus. The minibus runs from Nan’ao Hotel to Xichong from 6am-5pm daily.

Fangji Island, Maoming City

Located at the convergence of the Lion River and the Pearl River in Panyu District, Lianhua Mountain offers accessible camping in a complex that is comprised of 48 unique red hills, including one that rises to a height of 108 meters. This location makes for an ideal weekend camping getaway due to its close proximity to urban areas, its modern amenities and its natural beauty. Understand: In ancient times this site was a stone quarry, which was mined for hundreds of years. As a result, visitors are presented with a unique combination of natural beauty and human-manipulated rock. Must do: Be sure to check out the enormous statue of Guanyin, which stands a staggering 40.88 meters tall. It is made from 120 tons of bronze and is coated in 9 kilograms of gold. It’s allegedly the tallest gilded bronze statue of Guanyin in the world. Getting there: Once in Guangzhou, take metro line three to Shiqiao station and then hop on the bus to Lianhua Shan. From the stop, the entrance to Lianhua Mountain is approximately a 15-minute walk.

Xichong Beach, Dapeng Peninsula, Shenzhen

Affectionately referred to as “Hawaii in Shenzhen,” Xichong beach is located on the Dapeng Peninsula. With views overlooking Hong Kong, the 130-kilometer stretch of beach boasts clean(ish) water, fresh(ish) air

home to the legendary 1,219-meter Heaven Peak (the highest summit in the region). The reserve is one of Guangdong’s elite

hiking and camping locales, with unusual rock formations, lush bamboo forests and rushing rivers. It is also home to 176 species of butterflies. Understand: Nankun Mountain requires warm clothing and waterproof camping gear to combat large temperatures swings and unpredictable weather. Must do: Ascend Heaven Peak or, if hiking isn’t your deal, go butterfly spotting. Getting there: Take a bus to Conghua passenger station, then take a taxi to a campsite upon arrival.

Camping essentials: Fangji Island, located in Dianbai District, is the largest island near Maoming (14.5 kilometers southeast, to be exact). The island is home to a 122-meter-high peak that is ideal for hiking when you inevitably get bored of splashing around in the water. Tent camping starts at RMB35 a night and takes place on a beautiful, 5.96-kilometer-long natural sand beach. Site amenities include picnic tables, fire pits, flush toilets and outdoor showers. While beach camping on Fangji Island, you need not worry about running out of food. The site hosts a small store and a snack bar, and you can also have any fish you catch cooked at a local seafood eatery (if you’re resourceful enough). Understand: This retreat is a resort area, so camping here won’t be like Sean Penn’s 2007 film Into the Wild. Must do: Surfing and snorkeling, as the island offers some of the best opportunities in the neighborhood to engage in these activities. Getting there: Take the bus from Guangzhou to Maoming Hedong bus station, then take the 201 bus directly to the beach area.

Nankun Mountain Nature Reserve, Longmen County, Huizhou

This is where you come when you’re tired of starless nights. Nankun Mountain Nature Reserve covers 1,077 hectares and is

Seeking a Life beyond Stage IV

Russian couple fights to overcome cancer by Emeri Burks

eople who have never met Tanysha Kuznetzov come to bring her a cute stuffed Pink Panther in a tutu along with their love and support. Others who started as mere acquaintances from charitable organizations help to build a wooden dream house symbolic of her future with her husband of 10 days, Andrey. Her room at the Fuda Cancer Hospital of Guangzhou is filled with warmth and faith. Stage IV cancer just doesn’t fit with the visions the happy couple have for their life together. It was in this spirit that they decided that their engagement had waited long enough. In March they contacted the Russian Orthodox Church, and the representatives waved the mandatory month-long waiting period so the betrothed pair could get married right away. Their papers were signed on Friday, and on Sunday the 29th, the hospital pulled together for the ceremony. With her nails, makeup and hair done, a wedding gown-attired Tanysha was pushed through the halls of Fuda in a wheelchair by Andrey, surrounded by a crowd of friends, family, fellow patients and others who simply came to cheer on the inspirational couple. Hundreds filed in to offer their presents and well-wishes, and simply to bask in the joy of the occasion. The hospital’s wedding present: one of the nicest rooms available, a veritable apartment complete with kitchen, living room and private bathroom. The young couple first heard the dreaded

May 2015 / GZ / www.thatsmags.com

diagnosis of stage IV cancer last December, but doctors couldn’t agree on the type or source of the cancer. By January, Tanysha’s abdomen had swelled with an accumulation of fluids, a condition known as hydrops. She was in a tremendous amount of pain but the worst part, Andrey and Tanysha say, was not knowing what was happening and what would come. They visited a number of hospitals in Russia where doctors were grim. Some said she had as little as a week. They next explored options for treatment in Europe but it was unaffordable. They could pay to have Tanysha hospitalized but not treated. In February they arrived at the Fuda Cancer Hospital and things began to change dramatically for the better, but not due to traditional approaches towards cancer treatment. When Tanysha arrived, she was too weak to walk. Intestinal obstructions kept her from solid foods, and her immune system was too degraded to permit chemotherapy. Instead, the hospital treated Tanysha with a different kind of regimen: Chinese herbs, liquid food, antibiotics and, perhaps most importantly, a wealth of spiritual and emotional support. Though this treatment alone will not cure cancer from multiple regions in her midsection, explains Fuda Hospital Supervising Staff Member Shi Juanjuan, once her respiratory problems dissipate, her liver and kidney function returns to normal, and her diet becomes regular, she can begin to be treated with chemotherapy. She cautions,

however, that Tanysha needs to reach this state soon to improve her chances of success. Unfortunately for Tanysha and Andrey, rebuilding her immune system isn’t the only battle. Treatment at Fuda, while substantially cheaper than other hospitals they’ve sought out, comes with a hefty price tag: RMB300,000 for three months of treatment. Through Fuda’s secure payments account, the couple has already raised around RMB10,000 from external donations, but they still have a long way to go. Tanysha and Andrey are enlisting more and more people in on the fight every day. People bring financial donations and gifts to brighten Tanysha’s room, but the contribution they ask for most is prayers and faith. The Russian couple likes to remember their friend Elene, who survived advanced stages of cancer with little more than belief that it was possible and a fierce determination to fight. That strength, they say, is what has made Tanysha’s already incredible progress possible. This wouldn’t have been imaginable without all the emotional support from former strangers touched by their story. It’s for this reason they want to share their struggles and triumphs with the world. Now the couple jokes that they’re on an extended vacation, and with the high-quality care and environment they benefit from, it’s not a far stretch. Andrey tells us that Tanysha is more peaceful everyday because she’s left the fear behind. “Every lock has a key, and we will find it,” Tanya affirms. “[To move forward,] it’s important that you depend on yourself. Others can help, but first you have to help yourself.” It’s been a long road for Andrey and Tanysha, but hopefully there’s still plenty of journey ahead.

Baby Proofing Tackling Choosing the right contraception Chronic Pain by Dr. Djobo Clemence

Spinal adjustment as a non-chemical and non-surgical alternative

ost couples have a need for contraception at some time in their reproductive lives. A wide range of methods are available, each having individual merits and disadvantages.

The combined estrogenprogesterone oral contraceptive pill There are two types: combined estrogen-progesterone pills and progestogen-only pills. It is the most popular contraceptive for women under the age of 30 years, and it is extremely effective if taken regularly. These pills inhibit ovulation, the progestogen component rendering cervical mucus hostile to sperm and the endometrium unfavorable for implantation.

Progestogen injections and implants Long-acting, slow-release depot progestogen preparations inhibit ovulation due to higher serum levels of progestogen. The disadvantage is they are irreversible until their effects have worn off, and they can also cause unpredictable bleeding and amenorrhea. An implant is a small flexible tube inserted subcutaneously under local anesthetic which continuously releases a small amount of hormone. The inner upper arm is the usual site.

Intra-uterine devices The intra-uterine device (IUD) produces a high level of contraceptive reliability. The main advantage is that following insertion, no further motivation is required by the user, and the contraceptive action is unrelated to sexual intercourse. Disadvantages: they produce a mild inflammatory reaction in the endometrium and the viability of gametes is reduced. Barrier methods of contra-

ception The most widely used contraceptive method worldwide, they prevent contact between sperm and ovum, thereby preventing fertilization. They comprise diaphragm, spermicides, and male and female condoms. The best way to reduce your risk of STIs is to use barriers methods. Emergency contraception If you find yourself in a situation where the birth control methods you have been using have failed, or in the case of rape, obtaining emergency contraception such as the morning-after pill isn’t too difficult (over the counter at most pharmacies).

Sterilization This procedure blocks the fallopian tubes, preventing an egg from passing down the tube and being fertilized in women (tubal ligation), or cuts the tubes that carry sperm from the testes to the penis in men (vasectomy).

Natural methods These are based on an understanding of the menstrual cycle to help determine when a woman is most likely to be fertile each month and avoidance of sexual intercourse at the fertile time of the cycle.

aniel is a 13-year-old boy from the United States who has been suffering from severe headaches for years. He has complained of intermittent, sporadic headaches, both in the front and back of his head, since he was in the third grade. The pain was so persistent that it prevented him from studying and playing normally like other kids when it attacked, even though he took painkillers every day – despite the fact that prolonged use can be detrimental for the kidneys, stomach and liver. He visited various hospitals and clinics in the US and China, but no definite etiology could be identified and the diagnosis was “unknown headache.” Little improvement had been achieved. Until one day, he met Dr. Hsing K Chen, an experienced US chiropractor who currently practices in China. Dr. Chen arranged a detailed examination and designed a series of treatment programs, including manual spinal manipulation of the neck. The headaches began improving, and by the end of the treatment, the bothersome ailment that had been afflicting Daniel for years finally went away. According to Dr. Chen, “There are 26 segments in a human’s spine. If one of them deviates (subluxation)… for any rea-

son (like an accident or sprain), it will cause pinches on the spinal nerve, giving you pain and/ or muscle spasms.” By means of spinal adjustment, a chiropractor can uncover the problem and correct the vertebral subluxation, making the pain go away. For some, the results of spinal adjustment can be almost instantaneous. Others might need longer to correct because the subluxation has occurred for a longer period, so the soft tissues (including muscles, ligaments, etc.) need to be corrected also. Generally, chronic subluxation needs more time to take effect while acute subluxation needs less time. There are some simple ways to alleviate symptoms while recovering: keep a proper posture; don’t sleep on a soft bed; and do stretching exercise to relax your muscles. Most of the symptoms will go away if you follow these instructions, and you will live healthier and enjoy a longer life.

The Uniform Debate

To wear or not to wear, that is the question By Lena Gidwani

Photo Courtesy of GNIS

t several schools across the PRD, students arrive to class each morning in consistent, coordinated outfits. A strict uniform policy makes for a familiar sight at Guangzhou Nanfang International School, The British School of Guangzhou, Yew Wah International Education School of Guangzhou, Shen Wai International School in Shenzhen, ISA International School Guangzhou and plenty more. Advocates of uniforms say they boost school pride and identity, reduce bullying and help pupils stay focused on learning – at least partly because there’s no peer pressure to don the latest fashions. Principal Mark Thomas from The British School of Guangzhou says their uniform program has improved school culture and affiliation, and parents are supportive because it saves them time and money. “There are no concerns about what our students are going to wear in the morning. It also helps with school spirit by leveling out the playing field to show that we’re all in this together. There’s camaraderie. Overall, I’d say it’s been a tremendous success. We get a lot of positive feedback from the community.” Michael Urquhart, Principal of Guangzhou Nanfang International School, agrees. “Having recently sent my daughter to a public school in America, I can say that when my wife was away in Cambodia, it was the worst month of my life, fighting with a Year 4 student over what she was going to wear to school and what I wanted her to wear… I ended up a fan of uniform!” On the flip side, at the American International School of Guangzhou (AISG) it’s a different scene. Students are free to wear whatever they want, within the dress code

A distinct advantage of having a uniform is that students develop a sense of school identity that can promote an enhanced school spirit guidelines, only putting on uniform for appropriate occasions, like physical education classes, choir or on sports teams. “AISG believes that student choice in individual attire encourages meaningful conversations about how to express one’s own culture, identity and values, while respecting the opinions and beliefs of others. Students are empowered to make choices and taught to take responsibility for their actions with the guidance of parents and teachers. In our eyes, giving students the choice to select their attire is a natural extension of this philosophy,” says Director of Development Mike Ludwick. In many European and most American schools, children are not required to wear a uniform, and there’s no conclusive evidence that it makes a difference to behavior or academic success. Critics of uniforms even go as far as to say that having them needlessly infringes on creativity and diminishes learning in a diverse environment. Melissa Towers, a student at an international school in Shenzhen, says that she enjoys seeing the vibrant colors and patterns; the pretty skirts in summer, and the fun tights and

trainers in winter. She claims that the teachers prefer it too, as it means they don’t spend time enforcing rules on attire or sorting out unlabeled, identical clothing items. “It’s nice that we don’t all look the same and it’s easier to see who we truly are,” she says, displaying a red cotton top and zebra print leggings. Though freedom of attire may be popular with the kids, some schools are considering a change in the other direction. Utahloy International School, for instance, has thus far been a non-uniform institution, but Principal Neil Burney sees the benefit of uniting behind school colors: “A distinct advantage of having a uniform is that students develop a sense of school identity that can promote an enhanced school spirit. UISG has a history of not having uniforms, but the debate within the school community continues. As a school, we welcome change, and a new school uniform could be a reality in the future.” This is one discussion that will no doubt continue to get parents, students and teachers hot under the collar for many years to come.

EAt/drink GOSSIP The Canton Fair is thankfully wrapping up this month and with it the woes of congested streets and inordinate prices. As long as we’re taking back the town, why not scout out a few lesser-known establishments to get first dibs on fresh eats? Exorbitant rent is forcing newcomers to Xingsheng Lu to resort to selling things outdoors on the pedestrian area without actually owning a proper shop. Negroni Cocktails, Lifestyle Café and Santos all fall into that awkward group – we’ll see how long they last on the strip of cutthroat entrepreneurs. Maxine’s Deli, another addition to Xingsheng Lu, is broadening the casual lunch scene with personal pizzas, BBQ chicken and paninis. Meanwhile in TaiKoo Hui, TWG Tea (p60) has made an immaculate entrance, making the uppity food court look like yesterday’s leftovers. Old Guangzhouers will be pleased to hear that fine Cantonese dining is also joining the upscale mall, with Jade Garden opening last month. My Old Place is surrendering to Crystal Jade in Grandview Mall, leading us to posit that jade must always prevail. Quieter sections of town are heating up, with Pop (p63) blaring alternative music across from a cathedral in Dongshankou, while Cazar is set to literally shake the Historic Building of Guangzhou on Zhongshan San Lu. Last but not least, Q Café – which resembles the likes of Element Fresh or FG Fine Foods – could be revolutionary to the alwaysstruggling culinary scene in Haizhu.

Off the Vine

Livio Felluga Pinot Grigio

taly’s most popular white wine, the dryness of pinot grigio goes best with a wry sense of humor and a side order of witty barbs. Originally grown in France, where it is known as pinot gris, it was later adopted in Italy. Here, it underwent a name change and became a lot more famous a la Archibald Leach (aka Cary Grant). Though it has its roots in France, pinot grigio has distinctly different flavors from its European cousin, tending to have greater acidity and less sweetness. Thought to be a mutation of the pinot noir grape, pinot grigio vines flourish in sunny but cool climes. This en-

vironment seems to have been absorbed into the wine, since it is an excellent cooler well suited to sunbathing. Perhaps because it is so widely consumed around Europe and America, pinot grigio is rather looked down on by oenophiles, who call it simple and uninteresting. Part of this may be a result of its popularity, which has led to a lot of mass production. On the other hand, in the humid heat of South China summers, it’s not a bad thing to find a wine that’s light on complexity but high on the refreshment scale. Based in the northeastern Italian region of Friulia, Livio

Felluga is a 500acre vineyard with a charming family ethos – and a very quaffable pinot grigio. The grapes used to make it are first left to macerate for a short period after they are picked, before being fermented in temperature-controlled, stainless steel tanks. Serve the bottle chilled with fish, baked vegetables or other Mediterranean-esque eats for a suitably sedate weekend afternoon.

Tall on Taste

Strawberry Napoleon BY Lena Gidwani

hat you get from chefs in restaurants today can resemble the conversation at a cocktail party: some of it is smart, but most of it is ostentation. This aesthetic trend, which drives chefs to build food sculptures that fall to pieces at the first touch of a fork, can be seen perfectly in the proliferation of layered dishes fashioned after the great Napoleon, the classic French pastry that has become just about anything you can imagine, as long as it comes stacked high. The Napoleon, also known as mille-feuille, resembles a prim rectangle of alternating layers of flaky puff pastry and cream. Contrary to popular belief, this dessert has nothing to do with the French emperor or his defeat at Waterloo. The original name was gateau Napolitain after the city of Naples, later corrupted into the name Napoleon. Needless to say, this grand old dessert has not only sated many a sweet tooth but also provided connoisseurs with a method to anchor their creative zest to some form of tradition. To celebrate national strawberry month, here is an easy-to-make recipe thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tall on taste.

Ingredients (serves 4 to 6): 1 sheet of puff pastry 400g fresh strawberries 200g strawberry glaze 500g Kraft Cool Whip Powdered sugar, for dusting

Preparation: 1) Prepare one sheet of puff pastry and cut it into 5- by 6-centimeter squares. 2) Bake at 350 degrees Celsius until golden brown. Let cool

then cut lengthwise. Set aside. 3) Take the fresh strawberries and slice in halves. Remove the green stems. Place the strawberries in the packs of strawberry glaze and refrigerate for two hours. 4) Take out the pastry puff squares and arrange on plate. Add Cool Whip on the bottom part and, on top of that, add the strawberries in the glaze. Add another layer of pastry. 5) Repeat the process one more time. 6) Sprinkle the pastry with powdered sugar. Dollop on whipped topping in the middle and drizzle with leftover strawberry glaze. Serve immediately.

Spring Bar & Seafood

Fly with ol’ Shanghai BY Jocelyn Richards

ld Shanghai teahouses. Nowadays, the phrase is synonymous with scams that swindle tourists into three very expensive cups of tea, but that’s a narrow take on one of China’s most fascinating social traditions. For a journey into real teahouse culture as it flourished back in 1920s Shanghai, venture no further than Foshan – to Spring Bar & Seafood. Though not a teahouse itself, the restaurant pulses with a vintage vibe born from the tattered collectors’ items tucked into every corner. An old curricle waits near the

entrance, ready to escort the next cheongsam-clad beauty through a memory of the Bund after nightfall. Once inside, an array of multi-level rooms and high ceilings give one the sensation of being outdoors – an effect purposely created by the restaurant’s founders, who also assumed the daunting task of interior decorating. Seating in the main room carries the theme of a timeworn train station, while a separate dining area reflects European influence with floral wallpaper and chandeliers. The back of the restaurant is reserved for VIP seating, private meetings and a roomy stage equipped with speakers for nightly entertainment. In the spirit of old teahouses, live performances often spill off stage, with entertainers wandering in and amongst the

crowd. Guests can expect TV-caliber musicians and short experimental skits in the near future. Cuisine boasts rare Cantonese favorites with a few Western steaks, salads and soups thrown in. The fried egg with preserved pickles in sweet and sour sauce (RMB58) is a classic but comes doused in vinegar. Instead, try one of the many savory pot roasts, such as the traditional salted abalone with chicken (RMB88). The best dish of our night was, surprisingly, the rice, which becomes an addictive centerpiece when tossed with sesame oil and pungent spices (RMB38). Despite its niche menu, Spring pleases a broad palate when it comes to alcohol. Choosing to specialize in the three best areas – wines, whiskeys and cocktails – the bar offers reasonably priced labels of European reds and whites, Scottish and Japanese whiskeys like the Macallan Highland Malt (RMB55) and Yamazaki 1923 (RMB55), and some of the best cocktails in Foshan. Although Spring’s original branch is more conveniently located on Hunter Lane in Guangzhou, Foshan’s version has outdone itself with attention to detail – from the shape of ceramic dishes to the choice of wooden barstools, each object speaks to past trends of China’s most stylish city. Reserve a table at least two days in advance to avoid queues, or get there early and steal a ride in the retro carriage. Either way, it’s one more reason to fall in love with the 1920s.

Pho-off

The ultimate noodle feud text and photos by Lena Gidwani

Pho Vietnamese Cuisine and Bar One of the first things you notice at Pho, a small outdoor dining spot on Xingsheng Lu, is the high chopstick-to-fork ratio among the diners. That’s an excellent omen that everyone seems comfortably familiar with the task at hand. Pho isn’t your quintessential date night venue or a place to take a client you want to impress. But really, there is no need to sweat the aesthetic details here; this is hearty,

People tend to get a bit irrational on the subject of pho, the rice noodle soup that is one of the world’s great comfort foods. Fortunately, options abound for pho-natics in Guangzhou to take sides over which eatery dishes up their favorite. We sought out two new Tianhebased locations to compete in this month’s pho-off, the result of which will surely bowl you over. Indochine

Indochine sings to a blue-collar crowd craving reasonably priced Vietnamese-crossover spins. For those familiar with the name – renowned for being a Singapore-based, worldclass fine-dining restaurant group – this is far from it. In fact, you might want to salute the chap with the smarts to register this particularly posh moniker in China, and at the same time, lower your expectations for the casual rip-off that this diner legally isn’t.

home-cooked Vietnamese fare, spun simply and spun well. The owner is Hanoi-born Tran, who – in spanking good Mandarin and a smattering of English – will help you order an aromatic, authentic storm of everything from fresh seafood to marinated red meats, cooked by a team of native chefs. For starters, there are crunchy spring rolls (RMB66) and a variety of do-it-yourself rice paper rolls. Filled with shrimp (RMB69) or lemongrassinfused pork (RMB66), it’s well paired with a light fish, lime and chili dipping sauce. The house specialty – a steaming bowl of beef pho (RMB43) with luscious bits of tripe, tendons and other beefy extras, infused with vibrant helpings of basil, spring onions and

mint and perked up by DIY additions of bean sprouts, cilantro and lime – is terrifically satisfying. What sets it apart from others is the quality of the broth. It’s almost clear, not murky, and imparted with complex flavors developed through 12 hours of simmering. There are also variations with chicken (RMB33), and pork and oxtail. Set meals are fabulously priced for the location. Rice with roasted lemongrass pork chop (RMB30) comes nicely accented with a fried egg on top. Cold drinks are noteworthy too, such as the highly recommended lemon soda (RMB28) and passion fruit juice (RMB36), which are blended well enough to put Starbucks to shame.

With four across the city and plenty more planned for the mainland, this obscurely situated branch is dressed to resemble the simplicity of Vietnam: a bright green and white palette, straw hats on the walls, wood and bamboo accents and a cafeteriastyle layout. The signature pho dac biet (RMB28/38) – thinly sliced rare beef, beef brisket, tendons and meatballs – is served in a slightly brownish broth with runs of oil, bouillon and MSG, as well as a generous toss of raw red onions and garnishing. It’s satisfactory, but fails to translate into anything truly filling. Pho Thai (RMB28/38) is slightly more palatable, with a lemony, reddish-tinged tom yum-style clear broth. The garlic noodles (RMB18/28), not a dish from the classic

repertoire of Vietnamese victuals, is butterrich and so garlicky that it’s almost impossible to swallow. Gio cuon (RMB15) – freshly made pork and shrimp spring rolls (RMB15) – is far too noodle-heavy, while the goi ga (RMB12), an Asian chicken salad, is withered coleslaw ingredients in a drowning blanket of sweet mayonnaise. Diners are better off going for the rice dishes: the rice with grilled pork and fried egg roll is adequate and will sate the famished for a measly RMB38. All in all, Indochine is passable; just don’t expect a flood of memories of homegrown street food sold along the winding streets of old Hanoi.

TWG Tea

The perfect blend of luxury By Lena Gidwani

aha Bouqdib and Maranda Barnes know luxury. Even before they started TWG Tea in 2008 in Singapore, they were strategizing with the big guns of extravagance. The entrepreneurial duo didn’t create tea – it has existed for centuries, with 15,000 cups drunk every second. But it’s the way in which they are putting the world’s oldest and most mundane brew in the spotlight that makes their brand so valuable, opulent and strikingly irresistible. Housed in TaiKoo Hui, on the same level as the likes of Tiffany and Dior, TWG, which stands for The Wellness Group, is doing to loose-leaf tea what a haute couture fashion designer would to raw fabric. More than 800 single-estate fine harvest teas and exclusive blends are painstakingly handpicked. Stored in flamboyant artisan tins on wood-paneled sliding walls that surround hardwood tables, the brews are gently concocted on

an old-fashioned tea counter by trained connoisseurs, accompanied by fine bone china and an 18-karat gold teapot. For those buying rather than drinking onsite, a mere 50 grams, measured on vintage brass weighing scales, can cost anything from RMB60 for an English breakfast to a staggering RMB1,420 for the yellow tea variety, grown on a misty, high-altitude mountain range in the depths of China and harvested on one day a year with golden scissors. Like fashion, every season is celebrated with a new collection, including a myriad of fine accessories to complement the product line. If the attention to aesthetic detail is already making you swoon with desire, the tea-infused gastronomy will surely send you over the edge with lust: lavish sets for breakfast, brunch, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner are on show, as are trendsetting cocktails and freshly made tea-based pastries (RMB45), scones, jelly and ice cream. TWG Tea’s macaroons (RMB18), lined up behind glass counters like colorful jewels, whet the palate with flavors like Moroccan mint tea and Camelot tea and praline. Fresh bread, baked daily with tea leaves, is served with the gourmand salad (RMB120): tender roast chicken accompanied by juicy tomatoes, cucumbers and a mesclun salad with ripe avocado and white sesame tossed in Blue Pavilion tea-infused vinaigrette. The lobster timbale (RMB200) is a deep sphere of marinated lobster and avo-

cado sprinkled with coriander and chives, then drizzled with a to-die-for Love Me teainfused vinaigrette. The trio of mini burgers (RMB180) is an indulgent selection of foie gras, chicken and beef paired with shallot confit and fresh apple chutney. Crunchy herb-crusted salmon (RMB180) is exquisite and melts in your mouth with every chew. Accompanying this, try the dulcet rose (RMB80), a pinkish mocktail of lychee juice and Bain de Roses tea; the prestige (RMB100), a tall flute of sparkling white wine with cinnamon notes from the Singapore Breakfast tea; and desserts like creme brulee (RMB70). With a deft twirl of an immaculately polished teaspoon, TWG Tea has stirred up the most decadent tea emporium in the city. Price: Approx.

Chung Sushi

Rolled-up rarities Text and photo by Matthew Bossons

hung Sushi is the newest edition to the Zhujiang sushi scene, and so far it has done a great job of generating buzz. One could even go so far as to say that it’s the talk of Tianhe – among sushi lovers anyway – for its unparalleled service, exceptional quality and brilliantly decorated interior. Conveniently located on Huajiu Lu, Chung offers patrons a distinctly more elegant experience than many other similar spots in Guangzhou. The style of sushi is reminiscent of what one might find in Vancouver, Seattle, San Francisco or any other cosmopolitan center, with fresh salmon, real cuts of tuna (not the canned crap popular at certain local sushi establishments) and a minimalist, Japanese-inspired interior. The quality is almost unrivaled in Guangzhou, with hefty rolls stuffed – and in some cases topped – with all manner of delicious aquatic goodness. Recommended specials include the eel roll (RMB27/half plate, RMB52/full plate) and the soft-shell crab roll (RMB25/half, RMB48/full). If neither of these are your thing, then go down the Orange Country route with Chung Sushi’s version of the always-delicious California roll (RMB20/half, RMB38/full). Aside from rolls, this sushi joint boasts an impressive and unique selection of sashimi and nigiri, including a number of items you’ve likely never heard of.

Tea’se Me

Quite the brew-haha By WILL WU

“

Without dreams, we live like a salted fish,” said Hong Kong comedian and actor Stephen Chow in his movie Shaolin Soccer. Life without dreams is like a pool of stagnant water, dull and inactive. So we dream, and we dream big. Yet few manage to translate their big dreams into reality, but not Kristeen Chen. Quitting her decent job at Wall Street English, Chen, armed with her British husband and lifelong friend Jialin Chen, opened her tea house, Tea’se Me, earlier this year. “I play a little trick on the name to make it sprightly,” says Chen with a wicked smile. In line with her wish, the shop does enliven the tranquil, tree-lined neighborhood of Yuexiu Bei Lu. With a refreshing mint-green rooftop, it’s easy

May 2015 // GZ // www.thatsmags.com

to locate Tea’se Me amidst the surroundings. Behind a French window, the shop is divided into three parts: a homey entrance, with cuddly cushions, a cozy sofa and suites for small gatherings; the middle room, which is decked out as a small library for bookworms; and the rear, which was previously an outdoor garden, fit for a relaxing afternoon and wandering minds. In addition to common flavors of tea, such as peppermint (RMB18/cup) and Earl Grey (RMB18/cup), Tea’se Me also offers a wide range of other novel tastes imported mainly from the UK. The slightly sour strawberry and raspberry (RMB18/ cup) sweeps away sleepiness, while the pomegranate (RMB68/kettle) from Turkey not only tastes refreshing, but is also purportedly good for heart health. Learning from her deft mother-in-law and with an intense interest in baking, Chen is most proud of her homemade desserts. Unlike streamlined pro-

ductions, desserts at Tea’se Me have character. The lemon drizzle (RMB6) is served with freshly squeezed lemon juice on top. Hidden below the golden, baked surface is a buttery, fluffy dough scented with citrus. The chewy brownie (RMB10) strikes a perfect balance between cake and cookie. The thin layer of chocolate spread on the surface melts in one’s mouth with a lingering, mellow sweetness. Desserts are half angel, half devil: they sugarcoat tedious daily life but add extra pounds to the body. At Tea’se Me, however, you can have your cake and eat it too. Chen’s husband is a wing chun master. Do a few kicks with him and the calories from that monstrous brownie will be beaten off in no time. Price: Approx. RMB50 Who’s going: Anyone craving homemade Western desserts Good for: Contemplating the meaning of life, page-turners

Pop

Uptown funk By Tristin Cheung

alk from the Dongshankou subway station for about 10 minutes, turn onto Sibei Tongjin Lu, pass by a Christian chapel and you will notice the bar Pop open on your right. Set in a basement with a broad glass facade that humbly notes “There’s no miracles here,” Pop is all about the juxtaposition of standing out while remaining nondescript. Step inside to a transparent showcase of miniature dinosaur skeletons and alternative music. Ink splashes cover the walls, a metaphorical nod to the bar’s name, derived from ‘po’ in Mandarin, meaning ‘splash’ in English. The elbow-high cocktail bar counter feels approachable and is convenient for anyone interested in sneaking a peek to learn how to mix drinks at home. Wymen Deng, owner of the bar and an experienced bartender who previously worked in the wine industry for five years, whips up original concoctions of local in-

gredients and imported spirits. Gooseberry ginger soup (RMB40) – a combination of cape gooseberries, ginger and Absolut Vodka served in a bowl – is an odd blend of flavors that packs in a full shot of alcohol but tastes agreeable, at least to ginger lovers. The cleverly named ginjam (RMB40) is a mix of honey, lemon, gin and ice with a spoonful of raspberry jam balanced on top for a smooth start to the night. Wines and whiskeys are also available – a glass of Ardbeg single malt is priced at RMB90, while the chilled Chilean Frontera checks in at RMB40. Open from 2pm to 2am, Pop also serves your ordinary latte (RMB30), mocha (RMB35) and espresso (RMB15), but decor is clearly more focused on late-night happenings. Pop’s designer, Moy, originally intended to make the bar customer-friendly and interactive – a place to meet new friends, lose inhibitions and exert one’s imagination. Considering the limited space, he had all the tables installed with wheels to make them portable in case guests want a change of scene. It’s an ingenious concept, but we have to admit it feels very awkward to roll one’s table around a bar. If, like us, you find yourself in Pop during one of Guangzhou’s infamous rainy spells, just lose yourself in the fountain of dazed youth and try not to get too liquored up – it’s a long walk home.

Since landing in Guangzhou, Chef de Cuisine Filippo Fondatori has been scheming about how to reinvigorate the menu at the Four Seasons’ Italian restaurant. Drawing on the flavors of his native Tuscany, Fondatori unveiled a series of new eats on April 8, all artfully presented on a colorful array of crockery. The fava bean ravioli is particularly delightful, the pureed beans blending with mascarpone inside freshly made pasta casings. Served alongside bean pods, it offers creamy and crunchy textures in one elegant ensemble. Fish plays a big part in the additions to Caffe Mondo, including the silver cod fish filet, presented on a bed of porcini mushrooms, and the seafood panzanella, an inviting mix of shrimp, scallop and squid. Perhaps best of all, however, is the lemon panna cotta. A dessert that also works well as an afternoon snack, it’s full of zip and zest, the fragrant mint and fresh orange and lemon making it a perfect cooler for lazy summer days. // 72/F, 5 Zhujiang Xi Lu, Zhujiang Xincheng, tianhe District 天河区珠江新城珠江西路5号广州四季酒店72楼 (8883 3373)

G Restaurant

Tailor-make your own experience Ideal for those who have creative culinary ideas but not the wherewithal to make them a reality, G Restaurant has developed a new concept that allows diners to customize their own meals. With a choice of top-quality meats, seafood and vegetables attractively displayed in the open kitchen, guests can, for instance, select whether they fancy steak or salmon, which sides to pair with it and what dressing or sauce to drizzle over the top. Not entirely sure what goes with your lobster? The kitchen staff is on hand to offer their recommendations, as is a sommelier, who can offer helpful suggestions about which wines to pair with the dishes. Tack on RMB320 to the bill and throw back as much as you want from the wine buffet, which consists of 14 different options. It’s the perfect opportunity to let loose your inner Gordon Ramsay, but without having to know how to julienne or flambe a thing. // grand Hyatt guangzhou, 22/F, 12 Zhujiang Xi Lu, Zhujiang Xincheng, tianhe District 天河区珠江新城珠江西路12号广州富力君悦大酒店22楼 (8550 8025/8026, guangzhou.grand@hyatt.com)

Should Contra Get the Sack?

R&F's performance at the AFC Champions League has fans riled By Carry Zhang

hat is going on at Guangzhou R&F? Though the team was holding onto sixth place in the Chinese Super League at time of print, their performance has been spotty to say the least. Some fans have already begun calling for the head of new head coach Cosmin Contra, who replaced SvenGöran Eriksson in the post at the beginning of 2015. The former Romanian international recently oversaw the team’s humiliating defeat at the hands of Japanese team Gamba Osaka in the AFC Champions League. This year was the first time R&F qualified for the Asian competition, which seemed to herald a positive reign for Contra. All too quickly though, this initial achievement was overshadowed by a showing that left the team and their supporters embarrassed on the international stage. The coup de grace came with a 5-0 defeat to Gamba. Following the horror show, Contra contritely told reporters, “As the head coach I am responsible for the result, I am very disappointed and I have to apologize to the fans for letting them down.” Those fans are unlikely to be appeased by the mea culpa, especially since the home performance has been particu-

larly abysmal. Since March, R&F has lost four of its games in Yuexiushan Stadium, drawing one and coming out on top only once with a 4-0 win over

Guangzhou Evergrande Taobao Sun, May 10, 8pm vs Shanghai Shenxin Sat, May 16, 8pm vs Shanghai SIPG Sun, May 31, 8pm vs Guizhou Renhe

May 2015 // GZ // www.thatsmags.com

Guizhou Renhe – a team that is just shy of the bottom of the CSL. Hardly a result to rally around. The players have done better when competing away, where

they’ve managed to win three of their five matches in the last three months. Lest we be accused of coming down on Contra too hard, it is worth reiterating that, despite the tragic conclusion, qualifying for the AFC Champions League for the first time is something to be proud of. Looking solely at the CSL results, the prospect is not so dim. R&F have managed to claim victory in four games, while drawing one and losing two. They still don’t appear to be in the same form as 2014, when they finished the CSL season in third place – the team’s best ranking to date. Guangzhou Evergrande is faring much better than their city rivals. In the AFC Champions League, they are already through to the round of 16 with one match left to play against Japan’s Kashima Antlers. Regardless of whether they win or lose, they are guaranteed to top their group. In the CSL, the team has four wins, one draw and one loss under their belt, and stands at second place in the overall rankings. Though they also seem to have been affected by a change in manager – Fabio Cannavaro replaced Marcelo Lippi at the start of 2015 – it’s more a case of winning by fewer goals than winning fewer matches.
