Editor's Note

June

Do you remember the early mobile phones, those huge bricks that could barely be considered ‘mobile’ and functioned equally well as a self-defense weapon? How about the days when everybody had a trusty Nokia, which lasted forever but could do little more than make calls and send texts? True, it also had the incredibly addictive game Snake, but that hardly compares to the colorful world of Angry Birds. It really hasn’t been that long since cellular technology became a commercial industry, yet the strides made in design and functionality have been almost as astonishing as the evolution of the Internet. Rather than the limited capabilities of a traditional phone, today we can shop for clothes, buy movie tickets and make dinner reservations while chatting handsfree to a friend via Skype. Nowhere are the implications of these advancements greater than in China. With more mobile users than anywhere else in the world – three-quarters of whom possess smartphones – the value of the Middle Kingdom’s m-commerce is predicted to hit USD450 billion by next year. To put that figure in perspective, it is approximately equal to Singapore’s current GDP. Numerous companies and individuals are seeking to tap into the market, from starting boutique online shops to setting up systems that can provide loans via your cell, and let’s not forget the actual business of making the phones. This issue, we picked up our Apples and Xiaomis to call some of the tech insiders right at the heart of the boom, in order to discover how m-commerce is revolutionizing the nation (see p34). Staying with the Internet, we’ve also been taking a look at how online literature has gone from a rather niche, unprofitable hobby to a million-dollar profession – at least for the lucky few. Some of today’s most famous and respected Chinese authors first made their mark on the burgeoning web, leading the way in translating self-published stories into substantial royalties (p16). On the fashion side, we dissect what this year’s Met Ball tells us about the state of Chinese couture (p22), while over in sport we investigate whether the future of snooker is in the hands of the PRC (p12). Interviews with musical actors, TV stars and up-and-coming rockers are also inside, as well as a guide to flying your pets back home (p42). Have a wonderful summer, PRD! Tom Lee Editor in Chief

Heads for heights Vitaly Raskalov and Vadim Makhorov, whose exploits scaling China's loftiest buildings have become so celebrated they might as well copyright the epithet ‘Russian Daredevils,’ are back yet again. After conquering Shanghai Tower, Shun Hing Square and rooftops across Hong Kong, the pair then set their sights on the 115-story Ping An International Finance Centre, still under construction in Shenzhen and soon to be China's tallest skyscraper and the second tallest in the world just behind the Burj Dubai.

Uber out

Freedom frighteners

In light of the recent raid on Guangzhou’s Uber offices, the local authorities will soon launch a new state-owned system for online taxi booking. According to a report by the Nanfang Daily, the new car-hailing platform, called Ruyue (meaning ‘appointment on time’), will be headed by the Guangzhou transportation authority – the same group behind the Uber office raids. Based on numerous reports, the government-backed platform will, essentially, be a clone of Uber. The fundamental difference between Uber and Ruyue is the latter will go through a municipal approval system so that it's appropriately licensed to transport the fine people of Guangzhou, according to officials from the transport authority. The major issue, as cited by numerous observers, is that a government-run app is unlikely to match its competitors and will run a monopoly on the car-for-hire market. Although the service will be rendered ‘safe,’ numerous reports suggest the service could cost as much as three times more than traditional taxis.

Freedom Fighters in Guangzhou. Sounds romantic, doesn’t it? But how it sounds isn't what the group turned out to be v which was a Mafia-style gang composed of foreigners. On April 28, Guangzhou police stated they had broken up the city’s first alien gang with 18 people arrested – including two Chinese. Led by Odunukew Chinedu and Abdoulaye, the group utilized axes and brass knuckles in its activities, which included robbery, blackmail and debt collection. Its members hunted down debts that promised between 20 to 50 percent payouts and regularly forced victims to pay from USD500-1,000 in exchange for their safety. Over the past four months, three operations were carried out to arrest suspected affiliates. These police crackdowns are widely attributed to the gang’s demise. The Freedom Fighters came onto the police radar when, in 2014, they robbed a foreigner. After several months of investigation the criminals were discovered and their inner workings became apparent, according to authorities.

Prostitutes in Shenzhen have been commanding exorbitant prices recently through dastardly trickery, police in the southern metropolis have found. In an area of the country infamous for its booming skin trade, one group of sex workers put themselves above the competition by creating fabricated articles on Baidu and Sohu Baike (Chinese versions of Wikipedia), publishing fake news features on themselves and Photoshopping their faces onto images of celebrities. All of this was intended to prove that the women were famous entertainers. Middle school dropouts from Shanxi were thus passed off as mixed-race, Koreanborn, Austrian-educated master pianists, renowned models and Miss China finalists who spoke half a dozen languages fluently and brushed shoulders with the creme de la creme of Chinese society. The deceit worked brilliantly, and the women commanded prices analogous to actual B-list celebrities – ranging into the tens of thousands. It was reported on May 6 that four women and one man were arrested by Shenzhen police in association with the saucy subterfuge.

Twister

The nasty weather that has been battering the Pearl River Delta recently took an especially dramatic turn last month when a tornado was spotted in Shenzhen near the city's Bao'an International Airport. Numerous flights were reportedly canceled or delayed (to be fair, though, just about every flight in China is delayed), and the Shenzhen Observatory issued a code yellow warning for rain and code blue warning for wind. The twister was supposedly only the second ever to have been recorded in the city's history – which is, admittedly, incredibly short.

Lei Jun

Selfie feet

The Xiaomi CEO got some Internet fame last month after a presentation he gave in India went viral. Was it an inspiring keynote? A revolutionary product? No, it’s just that Lei still needs to study up on his English. Lei came on stage, and greeted the Indian crowd by saying, “I’m very glad to be in China… uh, to be in India!” And he was only getting started. The peak of the presentation came when Lei repeatedly asked the crowd “Are you OK?” The audience was enthusiastic, if a bit confused.

The Internet being what it is (read: a frothing pool of irreverence and sarcasm), Lei’s presentation was quickly remixed into an auto-tuned rap anthem, aptly titled, 'Are you OK?' As of print, the remix had more than 350,000 views on Youku and Youtube. What’s more, Lei Jun marked Xiaomi’s big India event with his return to Twitter, and the CEO was immediately drowned in tweets asking – as you could guess – if he was OK. Fortunately, Lei seems to have a sense of humor about the whole thing – he personally retweeted the remix from his account. Not to be outdone, Apple CEO Tim Cook also joined Weibo last month, but he’s in Lei’s shadow. Rather than asking about the newest Macbook, many commenters linked him to Lei’s keynote and asked if he was OK.

The State Council giveth and the State Council taketh away. In the giveth column, we have a new holiday: September 3, in honor of the 70th anniversary of China’s victory over Japan in the Second World War. Employees throughout the country will get Thursday the third and Friday the fourth off to commemorate and celebrate the anniversary. As for the taketh: don’t make any plans for that Sunday, September 6. That’s going to be a working day, where employees will have a chance to catch up on all that they missed over the holiday.

Selfie sticks are so touristy. Plus, they require the use of a hand, which means double-peace-sign photos are immediately out of the question. Fortunately, a brilliant cluster of Chinese Internet users (comprised of mostly, but not entirely, 15-year-old girls) have stumbled upon the future of the selfie as an art form: using your feet. These images of ‘felfies’ (our term) went viral online last month and were picked up by many overseas sites as another example of China’s selfie fever. It may seem a bit cumbersome (and/or smelly), but these girls will stop at nothing to get the perfect shot.

“So how is it that US citizens don’t care about intellectual property rights in this case?” The words of an angry Weibo commenter after an American woman was seen running a jianbing (Chinese egg crepe) food cart in Portland, Oregon. While Portland citizens have embraced their city’s new culinary fare, Chinese netizens have not been as kind. Some accuse the US of stealing China’s cultural heritage, while others doubt that the Americans are up to the task. One comment lamented, “I’m guessing the sweet fermented sauce has been swapped out for ketchup and salad dressing.”

That’s the number of Chinese tourists who attended a company outing in France last month, traveling throughout the country in 147 tour buses. The gigantic group stayed in 4,760 hotel rooms in 79 different Parisian hotels and, while in Nice, completed a Guinness World Record for “Longest Human Chain.” Much fun was had by all, presumably because everything was paid for by the company, Tiens Group. This epic vacay is estimated to have cost RMB230 million.

Can China save a British sporting institution?

ith his puffed jacket and spotless PVC dunks, Zhang Anda cuts a peculiar figure outside an industrial park in Romford, a predominantly white working-class suburb of East London. The 24-year-old moved here from Guangzhou more than five years ago, though he speaks limited English, doesn’t like the local food and only “very rarely” ventures into the city. He poses awkwardly for a photo in the parking lot beneath a windowless room at Romford’s Grove Academy. When not watching television in his nearby home, Zhang spends most of his time here practicing the meticulous technique of a sport he has pursued full-time since the age of 11 (and is ranked 103rd in the world at) – snooker. Similar to the better-known pool and billiards, snooker is a game of patience, accuracy and unwavering nerve. It is also fiendishly difficult – the pockets are narrower and the tables far larger than those used in other cue sports. The aim of snooker is to use the white ball to ‘pot’ the other colors into any of the six pockets. But winning is not simply a case of clearing the balls. A player must amass more points in the process. Of the 21 balls available, 15 are red. Worth just one point apiece, their real purpose is to provide an opportunity to sink one of the six ‘colors,’ ranging from yellow (two points) to black (seven points). Through successive potting, players can build a larger score – or ‘break’ – while keeping their opponent off the table. The highest possible break is worth 147 points (all 15 reds, each followed by a black, then every color in order), a feat Zhang has only achieved four times in practice and never in competition. Since its invention by colonial officers in India over 140 years ago, the sport has been dominated by the British. But China now threatens to disrupt the old order. Zhang is one of 16 Mainland players among the 128 who qualify for the professional tour circuit. This number is yet to compare with the UK, which accounts for almost 70 percent of the list, but it is almost three times higher than any other non-British nation. Perhaps more crucially, the arrival of the Chinese has provided a struggling sport with a commercial lifeline. Snooker’s popularity in Britain has waned over the past 20 years. Following its 1980s heyday, television audiences and sponsorship money have steadily shrunk (the latter dealt a further blow when tobacco compa-

nies, the sport’s main backers, were forced off screens by advertising regulations). Amateur participation has also suffered. Rising rents pushed snooker clubs out of cities and forced large playing tables out of pubs – the traditional entry points for many of snooker’s top professionals. With the sport’s future in jeopardy, its governing body – led by former boxing promoter Barry Hearn – looked abroad. China was always the obvious target. Playing to the country’s traditional strengths of accuracy and patience, snooker already had a footing in the south (thanks to the British influence in Hong Kong) and bore similarities to Chinese eight-ball, a local variant of pool. The country’s first ranking tournament, the China International (now the China Open), was established in 1997. All that was needed was a local hero – someone to capture the nation’s imagination and propel the sport in the way that Yao Ming had done for basketball. Enter Jiangsu teenager Ding Junhui who, at the 2005 tournament in Beijing, swept past a number of top-ranked players to reach the final. At the height of the sport’s popularity in the UK, a record 18.5 million (about one in three) Brits watched the BBC broadcast of the 1985 World Championship final. Two decades later in China – still considered an untapped market – 110 million people tuned in to see Ding win the China Open. Another 10 years on, the country is home to almost half of the sport’s ranking tournaments and around 35 percent of all prize money. In many ways, Grove Academy in Romford has come to embody the story of modern snooker. Not only is it forced to exist on the

outskirts of the sport’s traditional stronghold in London’s East End but, of the 10 players on its roster, seven are Chinese. Its owner, the charismatic Django Fung, leads me upstairs. He has lived in the UK for over 30 years – enough time for his accent to morph into an unusual Canto-Cockney hybrid. The Hong Kong-born accountant’s main business is Burger King franchises, of which he owns almost 30, though he is also a long-time snooker fan. After buying his own club, Fung struck up a friendship with Ronnie O’Sullivan (considered by many to be the greatest player in the sport’s history) and went on to manage him for six years. Ostensibly, he is here to translate for Zhang. But another role soon emerges. Fung’s young protege is especially shy, even in his mother tongue. I begin by asking whether the opportunities to progress in snooker are vastly improved by living in the UK. “Yeah,” comes the monosyllabic reply. Fung is on hand to help out: “He had the opportunity to become professional but all the qualifiers are done in this country,” he explains. “He had no choice but to come here and play – the same as many other Chinese players.” Thirty minutes on and Zhang is just beginning to open up. He laughs about becoming lazier with age and admits to not having a practice schedule, though he aims for four to five hours a day. These are hardly indications of confidence. I wonder whether he has the drive to succeed in this highly competitive sport. But the nickname Mighty Mouse (which he hates) must surely refer to more than his

height and plump, mousy cheeks. Beneath the timidity are signs of quiet determination. With a first-round tie against former world champion Peter Ebdon at the upcoming China Open, I ask Zhang how many places his opponent ranks above him. “I don’t care,” he says. “As a competitor you have to like the pressure. I like being nervous.” The tournament is exactly four weeks away and the pressure is imminent. Zhang must reach the top 64 this year or face being dropped from the tour circuit, meaning at least two years in the sport’s wilderness. The consequences for his career could be dire. Without a tour card, qualification for major competitions is made significantly harder. Prize money and sponsorship would most likely evaporate. Surviving at the fringes of the sport’s elite is already difficult. Since turning professional in 2009, Zhang has earned approximately GBP60,000 (around RMB550,000) in prize money. From this, he must pay Fung for the use of Grove Academy, as well as covering the cost of visas, travel and accommodation at tournaments around the world. Like most of the Chinese players in the UK, he relies on family wealth. “His mum and dad have been supporting him to come here. They haven't got enough sponsors to pay for everything,” Fung explains. “The amount of paperwork and logistics involved is huge. Maybe that’s the reason why a poor man can’t do it. Like tennis or Formula One [racing], you need to have family to support you.” “If you have no money you can’t even pay for the light to practice under,” chips in Zhang,

who can fall into a family clothing business should snooker prove an unviable career. The next generation may not face such barriers. Sensing the sport’s growing popularity, the Chinese government has pumped money into youth development. It now subsidizes training for the most talented young players. With the traditional barrier to entry – wealth – lowered, China’s domination of the rankings is inevitable, Fung argues. “In five years’ time I would say that 40 of the top 100 will be Chinese, if not 50,” he says. “At the moment, Chinese players’ coaches are good technically but they haven't been in the sport at the highest level – they haven’t won anything. Just wait until the players that used to be on tour go back to give [kids] that kind of experience... beautiful. “If you line up China’s 10 best under-18s against the rest of the world’s, China would win 9-1. The standard is scary. You should see the academy in Beijing – it will blow your mind.”

eep within the marbled halls of the National Sports Bureau, former player and the current chairman of the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association (WPBSA), Jason Ferguson, sits on stage for the Snooker World Cup press conference. A tireless advocate for the sport, the Englishman sacrificed his playing career (which had seen him reach a career-high world ranking of 28) to focus on developing the game. As well as promoting snooker’s overseas interests, Ferguson is responsible for grassroots development in the UK. But he admits that nothing in Britain can compare (in scale, at least) to the newly opened CBSA (China Billiards and Snooker Association) World Snooker Academy, just minutes from the National Sports Bureau. After the conference, he walks me there. Sincere and hugely likeable, the 45-yearold is both enthusiastic about Chinese participation and diplomatic about any future dominance. He does not share Django Fung’s vision of a new world order: “I do see that China will have a very strong presence,” he tells me. “But I don’t see snooker being dominated by China, at all.” There are 27 young players at the academy eager to prove him wrong. Dressed in identical orange polo shirts, the students spend up to 10 hours a day training at the government-funded facility. The youngest

player is 11, though most are in their teens. China’s best players are sent here to train. Set across almost 10,000 square meters of space, the academy houses two enormous practice rooms (the larger containing 17 tables) and a second-floor gym. There are 10 similar academies across the country, though Beijing’s is the largest. With equipment costing around RMB27 million (USD4.3 million), there is no shortage of funds or ambition here. “I want to win the World Championship,” declares 17-year-old Zhao Xintong. “My dream is to go to England. If I have the opportunity, I want to play with the most famous players.” State investment means that Chinese players may no longer need to move abroad to advance their careers, as Ding Junhui and Zhang Anda’s generation did. (Grove Academy’s Django Fung sees little future for his facility when today’s teens come of age, though he doesn’t seem hugely worried – “this is my hobby,” he tells me.) Whether this will one day encourage young British players to flock to China is less certain. But soon they may not need to. The CBSA is also building its own Chineseowned academy in Sheffield, England. For now, Zhao will remain at the academy, where he’s been since it opened in 2013. He started playing at the comparatively late age of 12 but, according to his coach, is one of the best players here. Most students’ families must pay either RMB27,000 (USD4,300) or RMB45,000 (USD7,200) a semester, depending on how highly the staff rate their abilities. But tuition fees are waived for the most promising talent. Dean of the Beijing academy, Liu Zheng, thinks that at least 15 are good enough to progress to the tour. He is aiming to see five through to the professional ranks each year. “There are two important ways in which we help the players improve their skills and have better futures,” he explains. “One is that we have six coaches for the players. Then, we use technology.” In the corner of the main practice hall, a snooker table has been rigged with advanced equipment developed by Liu’s private company Rigour, a commercial arm of the CBSA. Birdseye cameras capture the balls’ movements and feed the information to a nearby computer and mounted screen. Players can repeat and perfect different shots from a catalogue of over 500 game scenarios, with the program monitoring the power, spin and accuracy of each attempt. This system can be used for homework and testing, as well as providing statistics for the coaches to analyze retrospectively. Most in the sport appear happy to embrace its modernization. But the old guard seems keen to retain one crucial element of the past – etiquette. Known in the UK as a ‘gentleman’s sport,’ snooker is, according to Ferguson: “played with honor, good discipline and fair rules – it’s a sport where if a player www.thatsmags.com / SZ / June 2015

Lead makes a mistake he actually owns up to it.” Etiquette lessons are on the curriculum here, and the WPBSA’s head of discipline is flown to China to advise young players on how to behave, dress and manage their social media. Should these students make the tour, they will face an unfortunate reputation. Type ‘Chinese snooker players…’ into Google and the first suggestions are: ‘cheating,’ ‘are cheats’ and ‘accused of cheating.’ This characterization is seemingly an unfair one. In fact, the search results may directly stem from an incident at the 2012 World Championships, when Northern Irish player Mark Allen accused Cao Yupeng (another of Django Fung’s proteges) of ‘pushing’ the ball – a foul shot whereby the player’s cue makes prolonged contact with the white – without alerting the referee. “It seems to be a bit of a trait for the Chinese players. There’s been a few instances in the past… fouls and blatant cheating going on,” suggested Allen at the post-match press conference. “Marco Fu [of Hong Kong] and [Grove Academy's] Liang Wenbo have been known for it in the past. Maybe it is just a Chinese thing.” Television replays supported Cao’s innocence. Allen later issued a non-apology for any offence caused. Anyone wondering whether Allen might hold undue prejudice against China may wish to refer to the infamous tweet he sent that same year: “this place [China] is horrendous… people are ignorant. Place stinks.” If anything, Beijing’s academy provides a model of professionalism that has yet to be achieved in the sport’s British homeland. While the WPBSA is doing a lot to change snooker’s reputation, the traditional route into the game was, according to old stereotypes, skipping school to hang out in smoky snooker dens (“the tour used to be made up of people from a misspent youth,” Ferguson tells me).

nooker is one of 12 sports under consideration for inclusion at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo. It seems fitting that the China Open is ceremoniously launched inside the Bird’s Nest Stadium. One by one, the players link arms with glamorous models and stride past the cameras to sit beneath the emblematic five rings. First out is Ding. He is in poor form. Having become only the third non-British (and first Asian) player to be ranked world number one in December 2014, he has since dropped to fourth. Photographers still battle for his attention as he poses by the strategically placed logos of the tournament sponsors. Zhang Anda, who I have not seen since Romford, walks out some time later, flanked by other male competitors. Lower-ranked players appear last and they have already run out of models. Nonetheless, for a sport with a stuffy reputation in Britain, it is a remarkably glitzy affair. As last year’s finalist Neil Robertson tells me afterwards: “Here, we get the red carpet treatment and a lot of interest from journal-

Fans watch China’s Ding Junhui (below right) in action at Beijing University’s 4,200-seat student gymnasium

ists… which you don’t really get in the UK.” Players’ star treatment is a result of the considerable money flowing into the game from China. Every Western player now carries a Chinese sponsor and the China Open boasts a number of mainstream backers. This year, car manufacturers Baic Motor and a major trust firm, Bitic, lead the lineup. UK tournaments meanwhile have become heavily dependent on betting companies (which may, like tobacco firms, fall foul of regulations in the near future). Here too, change is evident. Asian online betting firms Dafabet and 888真人 have both sponsored major British snooker events in recent years, although gambling is technically illegal in Mainland China. When Barry Hearn took control of the WPBSA’s commercial arm, World Snooker, in 2010, the tour’s total prize money was GBP3.5 million (RMB32 million). He predicts it will reach GBP7.5 million (RMB69 million) this year, thanks largely to the sport’s globalization. “We did a major overhaul of how the sport was managed and governed, and how it operated commercially,” Jason Ferguson explains. “We opened new markets by working with local people. We’ve got on airplanes, we’ve done the hours, we’ve found local promoters, we’ve made deals with local television – we’ve worked very, very hard to grow the sport.” The tournament is due to start in a day. Five kilometers to our west, Beijing University’s 4,200-seat student gymnasium has been transformed into a full-scale snooker arena. Six playing tables are set up beneath steep adjacent grandstands, divided from one another by temporary partitions. Two days later, at the second evening session, Ding Junhui is preparing to begin his campaign against little-fancied Scotsman, Marcus Campbell. Hundreds of spectators gather around Table One where an announcer works the crowd, priming them to welcome a national hero. Photographers gather in their booth and final adjustments are made

to the television cameras that will broadcast the game to the country on state-owned sports channel CCTV5. A huge cheer pulsates through the venue as Ding emerges. On Table Four – just meters away but unseen by almost every fan – Zhang and Peter Ebdon unpack their cues in front of an audience of just three (rising to four as I take my seat). Dressed in a black waistcoat, his hair neatly slicked to one side, Zhang looks confident, focused and virtually unrecognizable from the timid player I’d first met. Silence descends as the six simultaneous matches begin. Both players make hesitant starts but it is the underdog who forges an unlikely breakthrough. Zhang puts together a run of 85 points to win the first frame (the term used for each individual game, with first-round matches played as a ‘best of nine’ frames). Ebdon responds assuredly. Having earned the nickname ‘Mr. Intensity’ over a professional career spanning almost 25 years, he appears emotionless taking the next two frames. It is soon 4-2 to Ebdon, meaning Zhang must win the next three frames to avoid elimination. He starts the seventh frame brightly, his best shots met by spontaneous rounds of solo applause from a man to my right in the near-empty stand. Conversely, the young player must wrestle with the distraction of gasps, applause and delight emanating from the main table – Ding is closing in on victory. Concentration is a crucial part of the sport. Noise from other tables is a routine obstacle for lower-ranked players but China’s crowds also offer unique challenges. Complete silence is expected during players’ shots and although chattering has decreased since the tournament began 18 years ago, Chinese fans still have a reputation for ringing phones, noise and movement – cardinal sins in live snooker. Differences in atmosphere may be explained by the profile of the spectators here – they are noticeably younger than those found in the UK. This is a positive sign for the sport’s

future. But it also produces two incidents – within moments of one another – which would seem utterly out of place at a British tournament. First, a 20-something man in a basketball shirt and backwards Nike beret takes a seat in front of me, before reaching around to massage his girlfriend’s neck. Then, minutes later, a crescendo of applause for Ding’s victory on Table One is accompanied by shouts of “niubi!” (literally ‘cow’s c*nt,’ though closer in meaning to ‘f*cking cool’). It is nearing 1am when Ebdon, the more experienced player, prevails, and only a handful of journalists remain when he appears backstage. Zhang is nowhere to be seen. “[Zhang’s] a very, very good player. He was very calm and composed; very methodical in his style. He just missed a couple of balls here and there,” Ebdon tells me, before voicing a complaint about the quality of the Chinese-made table. “It was difficult for both of us... I wouldn’t be surprised if [all the tables] needed to be re-clothed.” His concerns over the equipment and atmosphere found at non-UK tournaments are shared by other top-flight players. As such, there remains nervousness within the sport about the prospect of relocating the showpiece World Championships from The Crucible Theatre in Sheffield, where it has been held since 1977. Many have publicly described a move to China as “inevitable,” though WPBSA chair (and ultimate decision-maker) Barry Hearn, has said that doing so “would lose the history and integrity of the event.” Before departing, I ask Ebdon whether he thinks the tournament might one day leave its traditional British home. His answer is one I hear from almost everyone I speak to, from the sport’s top players to the London taxi driver who first took me to Django Fung’s academy. “Barry Hearn is a very good salesman. If the price is right, the World Championships will come to China."

costs must be weighed against the likelihood of progressing to the later stages, so lowerranked players are often scheduled to fly out before tournament ends. Django Fung assures me that Zhang was happy with his performance and believes Peter Ebdon’s experience proved decisive. It was an encouraging display but, with his world ranking only rising to 98th as a result, he’ll need to work hard to reach the top 64 and remain on the tour. It is a poor tournament for all the home favorites. Only two Mainland players make it past the first round. On the 10th anniversary of his famous victory, Ding Junhui is eliminated at the semi-final stage. And as if to remind us that the old order still stands, the final is contested by two Englishmen – world champion Mark Selby and former taxi driver Gary Wilson. Even without a local hero, the last session is well-attended. The tournament’s press officer estimates that ticket sales increased by at least 25 percent on last year.

For all of China’s ability to build venues, academies and the champions of tomorrow, its most important contribution has been the introduction of new fans. They may be a little noisier than the sport is used to, but they are passionate and dedicated to the game. Outside the venue, I speak with Jia Chengbin, 30, who has followed snooker for five years. “I came here all the way from Guangzhou to see Ding Junhui. I’ve come here on three different days to watch his matches,” he says. “I love this sport.” As a fitting sign of snooker’s future, the last spectator I speak with before the final has come out of curiosity. “I’ve watched the matches on TV but this is the first time I’ve come here,” says 33-year-old Dai Weiwei. “I just want to learn more about it and luckily my friend had two tickets. I’ve known about Ding for a long time – almost every Chinese person recognizes that name. He’s an icon in China.”

f China is to host snooker’s showpiece event, then it may need a venue like the famous Crucible Theatre in Sheffield. But in Daxing district, south Beijing – best known for its vast watermelon farms – someone has taken this notion a little too literally. An exact replica is allegedly being constructed to support a bid for the tournament when the Crucible’s contract expires in 2017. Western media reported on the project (somewhat disparagingly) last year and my contacts at the WPBSA are not keen for me to visit the site. Their cynicism is understandable – the replica is a dose of ludicrousness in what is otherwise a tale of how to take a sport seriously. Moreover, there’s a perfectly serviceable venue at the Beijing University Student Gymnasium, where the final day of the China Open is underway.

China’s Internet literature industry rewrites the rule book by WILL WU

eventeen years ago, it was trendy for university students to go on dates at McDonald’s. Couples could be seen sharing a big paper cup of coke and canoodling over a large portion of fries. This ritual was brought into being by an online novel called Flying Dance. At a time when owning a computer was still rare, the serialized romance, written by Taiwanese author Cai Zhiheng, allowed a whole generation to experience the happiness and sorrows brought about by love. But the greatest effect of Cai’s work was not to temporarily affect how boys and girls interacted, but to permanently alter the perception of Internet authorship. People were inspired by Cai to take advantage of what was then a new medium to reach readers. Out of this crop of aspiring writers grew some of today’s most famous literary figures, notably Murong Xuecun and Anni Baobei. A sales manager at a car company in Chengdu, Murong Xuecun posted his writings – Leave Me Alone: A Novel of Chengdu – on his office’s bulletin board system in 2001. The series, which provided a realistic glimpse into the city’s restless life, started to garner public attention, and it was soon being reposted on several online platforms and read by thousands of Chinese netizens. Li Jie, better known by the pen name

Anni Baobei, rose to fame with her stories of broken youth. The Shanghai native’s soft and sentimental style struck a chord with the public, and her reputation started to grow through entries on Rongshuxia.com, where literati and lovers of the written word gathered in the early 00s. The site was a hub for many big names in contemporary Chinese literature, such as Han Han and Ning Caishen. “We all share a beautiful dream of literature and we treat it seriously,” remarks Anni Baobei, who successfully turned her digital popularity into profitable print runs. She now ranks as one of the top 10 bestselling authors in China. The first 10 years of the 21st century are regarded as a golden age of Chinese Internet literature. Though not a big moneymaker, the industry saw many widely read works emerge during the period, fostering greater interest and setting the scene for future profit. Take Zhenhuan’s Legend (甄嬛传). Written in 2007, the story follows an innocent girl who makes her way up the ladder in the imperial family through open strife and veiled struggle. Five years later, it was adapted into one of the most watched TV series in China, and this year it is scheduled to broadcast in the US. Thanks to successes such as these, online publishing is now a well-established arena, both for producers and consumers.

According to a poll by the China Internet Network Information Center, by June 2014, the number of people reading Internet literature reached 289 million, an increase of 1.5 million from the previous year. Another survey conducted by China’s largest search engine, Baidu.com, found that the fourth hottest phrase as voted by 600 million Chinese netizens in 2014 was ‘wangluo xiaoshuo’ (网络小说, online novels). Currently, there are 2.5 million online writers registered on the six major literature websites in China, actively contributing 150 million words on a daily basis through narratives about history, time travel, romance, bromance and workplace drama. The total sum of words appearing in original online literature over the past decade has already surpassed that of printed works published in the past 60 years. The monetary value of online literature is also starting to rise. In 2013, the total revenue generated by Internet fiction was RMB4.65 billion, an increase of 66.3 percent from the previous year. This included money made from movie and TV adaptations, as well as online game deals. Though the number for 2014 has not yet been released by the government, it is expected to total RMB7 billion. Dashen (大神, outstanding online wordsmiths), many of who used to be paid based on clicks, now earn large sums from licens-

ing payments. Thirty-three-year-old Tangjia Sanshao, the best paid online writer in 2014, earned RMB50 million in royalties from his e-book Douluo Dalu (斗罗大陆). However, not every creative scribe is a dashen. Many produce pieces which are criticized by traditional literature critics as low-brow trash. Such works are usually called ‘xiaobaiwen’ (小白文, works without depth) or ‘YY novels’ (YY文, works filled with illogical and unrealistic fantasies). Writers such as these typically earn a mere RMB2,000 or less per month. Eighty percent of online writers are part-time amateurs. Despite the fact that there is no guarantee of making a living, many, especially the young, are still willing to spend time and energy to publish digitally. They view it as a way to make their myriad voices heard. “It is really rewarding every time I receive feedback from readers. It has nothing to do with money,” says Xiao Miao, a registered author on Jinjiang.com who loves penning short bromance stories and has around 1,000 loyal fans. She is optimistic that her tales will one day reach the big screen, with the characters played by her favorite stars. It’s not just dreamy individuals who see a future in online yarns, however. A month ago, Tencent was reported to have taken over Cloudary Corporation, a user-generated platform that includes the six major literature websites and is worth around RMB5 billion. This makes the Internet giant the largest online fiction operator in the Middle Kingdom. Considering how successful Tencent’s previous investments have been – including QQ and WeChat – it’s a clear hint to the market that the company believes there’s much more mileage to be got out of online publishing in the foreseeable future.

Evil qi In Chinese medicine, we view health as harmony between opposites: a balance of yin and yang, hot and cold, excess and deficiency, internal and external. Think of tilt-a-whirl carnival rides. Illness is the turbulent up and down tilt and sickening spin at the edge of the wheel. Health is the stable and calm point in the middle. What makes us swing away from a healthy equilibrium and become unwell? There are only three main reasons that you may slip out of balance: you are attacked by external factors, an internal disharmony develops or ‘other’ factors are at play. This month, I’ll describe how external, climatic factors cause disease. Read again next month to learn about the internal, emotional causes of disease. Many of the great thinkers in China during the time when Chinese medicine first developed were Daoist sages. They were naturalists who were trying to live forever, and eventually they worked out that many human diseases look similar to extreme weather patterns. From this they developed the theory of the ‘six evils’: wind, heat, cold, dampness, dryness and fire from the

There are nearly 100 nail polish colors on offer at Nails & Spa, as well as numerous design patterns. We opted for sky blue, and then asked for a flower design on each of our big toes (RMB10/simple design per toe). Once our nails had dried, the treatment ended with a five-minute massage with OPI’s coconut melon lotion. If hunger strikes, food can be ordered directly from Little India or Kiwi Pizza (located in the same hallway) and delivered during the pedicure.

environment can overwhelm a person’s natural resistance and enter the body where they directly cause sickness. Each climatic factor has different characteristics and therefore leads to different types of illnesses. Wind, for example, enters via the nose and nape of the neck, attacks the upper body, has a sudden onset, causes rapidly changing symptoms, leads to dryness and usually brings heat or cold with it. Many common illnesses are caused by external factors, including the common cold, sinusitis, seasonal allergies, bronchitis, influenza, dermatitis, headaches and arthritis. So do external climatic factors actually enter the body and directly cause illness? Is there wind actually blowing around inside your body? I don’t think so, but I do see a lot of patients who have afflictions that I still diagnose as external in nature; for example, ‘wind-heat attacking the nose and throat.’ These days, most Chinese medical doctors see external climatic factors as indirect causes of disease, meaning that your body reacts to climate but isn’t directly attacked by it. In other cases there is no actual exposure to extreme climatic factors, but the symptoms of an attack by one of the six evils is still present. In these cases, the climatic factor is simply a diagnostic label for a complex of

symptoms that match those of an external attack. The labels are useful because they explain a specific disease process and therefore guide the doctor as to how to appropriately apply acupuncture or herbal medicine to correct the imbalance. Even though I take this more modern view, I still advise people to take care when exposed to extreme climatic factors. Cover the nape of your neck when it is windy, don’t sleep with the air conditioner blowing directly on you and find shade when it is very hot – or you may be struck down by an attack of evil qi.

Weight training vs. functional training

When people start exercising or decide to revamp their current routine, they sometimes find themselves looking over options, unsure of what to do. Often, you’ll see two distinct groups: those who advocate focusing on traditional weight training and those who prefer functional training. Fortunately, it’s not a oneor-the-other situation. Both styles have their place in your workout and can benefit your overall health. Let’s talk about what each type of training is. Functional training involves doing activities

that mimic moves that we perform in the real world, conditioning us to be more efficient in everyday life and avoid injury. In functional training, you’re learning how to lift, push, press, jump, unload heavy boxes, pull open a heavy door, carry a kid, jump over a curb and run a mile. You might also add weight to these moves in a safe manner, but the focus is not on isolated muscular training. It’s likely you have tried weight training at one time or another. Traditional weight training targets one or two muscle groups, maximizing the load, which ultimately increases the strength, tone and size of the worked group. Weight training incorporates dumbbells and barbells, plate-loaded machines, pre-loaded machines and cable pulleys. In weight training, you train for a certain number of sets and reps per exercise and then move onto the next. Ideally you work with enough weight that the last couple of reps are difficult or impossible, maximizing the stress to that working muscle. This process teaches the body to increase its muscular output in order to perform a specific task efficiently. Weight training helps maintain equal strength within the muscles, supporting your functional training as well as your everyday activities. For example, if your hamstrings (the back of your thigh) are weaker than your quadriceps (the front of your thigh), the

contraction of your quads may be too strong, which can cause damage to your joints and ligaments. Improving muscular balance by incorporating an isolation move like hamstring curls or stiff leg deadlifts can improve your strength and support you for your next run, boot camp, CrossFit session or movement class. If you have read my column a few times, you probably know by now that I am a bodybuilder and support the traditional methods of strength and weight training. When I’m exercising, I focus on isolating each muscle group, but I utilize a lot of functional moves as well. Bodyweight moves and plyometric exercises are amongst my favorites. These are a nice addition to amp up my heart rate, burn calories, stay agile, lose fat, develop coordination and help condition for the heavy lifts. To sum up, we should try not to rely on only one mode of training. Traditional weight lifting will help you define and isolate specific groups, keeping you strong, balanced and lean. Functional training will help you become faster and more explosive, and will assist in other activities whether on the field, the court or in the pool. Don’t neglect one for the other; incorporate both for a well-balanced program. // Kara Wutzke is a ﬁtness trainer who offers boot camps and individual classes in Guangzhou. she can be contacted by emailing k2ﬁt.gz@gmail.com or through WeChat iD: KaraK2Fit.

hese are momentous times for fashion in China. The local industry – which is hardly two decades old – has done nothing but grow since a first wave of homegrown designers debuted their work in the mid-90s. The business’ upper echelons around the world have since taken the country – and the wallets of its moneyed consumers – to heart. By now, it’s almost cliche to comment on how important China has become to the global luxury sector. Yet brands from Europe and the US keep opening stores across the PRC at an unprecedented rate and, to promote brand awareness, restaging their runway shows for audiences with epic spectacles in Beijing and Shanghai. Now, the country is getting the art show treatment. At the beginning of May, the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York unveiled China: Through the Looking Glass, an exhibition paying homage to the influence of Chinese culture on Western fashion at the time before the rise of Mao Zedong, when Westerners saw the country as essentially mysterious and exotic. A mix of music, film clips, photography and clothes, the show not only fills the Costume Institute but all of the museum’s Chinese art galleries too. Thomas Campbell, the museum’s director, said this might be the biggest show in

How China is climbing to the top of the fashion game

its history. One explanation for its size is that it coincides with the centennial of the founding of the museum’s Asian art collection. Another is that China has reached the very top of the fashion game. And, almost overnight, all (fashion) eyes are turning to the country. “The novelty of Chinese designers is shifting,” says Alice McInerney, a fashion journalist and consultant based in Beijing. “You can now shop for Chinese fashion all over the world, in some of the most prestigious boutiques. Customers back in China, while still attracted to international labels, are craving the unique and are much more open to opting for Chinese designers.” And so are international media. From the New York Times to the Economist, a slew of major publications have started profiling Chinese designers and the state of the sector in the PRC. During Shanghai Fashion Week last April, an International Shanghai Fashion Week Summit, organized with the support of marketing and communication giant Ogilvy, was held in the grand settings of the Mandarin Oriental, gathering media, buyers and international fashion figures of the caliber of British fashion commentator Colin McDowell and Business of Fashion founder Imran Amed. Panels were held to address original design in China, while push-

ing for a global agenda. It’s like the Chinese fashion industry suddenly stopped being the lonely kid everyone makes fun of and turned into a grownup people are beginning to take seriously. “China is finally getting the attention of the global arena. There used to be a distinction between East and West, but now we are all on a common platform,” says Tasha Liu, owner of concept store Dong Liang Studio – a boutique fostering exclusively Chinese designers in both Beijing and Shanghai – who took part in the forum. “Local talents have been growing steadily for quite some time now – they have refined their design and technical skills. It’s time they get the recognition they deserve.” That recognition is not only coming via unprecedented attention to local independent fashion, but also by way of a new book, Fashion China, which was released in April to coincide with Shanghai Fashion Week and the summit. Written by Irish-born fashion curator Gemma Williams (and available at 10 Corso Como as well as on Amazon) Fashion China attempts to document the country’s vibrant, albeit fledgling, fashion design industry. An anthology of 41 designers who are toiling hard to establish the reputation of ‘designed in China,’ it includes both established and more up-andcoming talents, revealing a diversity of tastes

feature » LIFE & STYLE

and aesthetics ranging from cutting edge to opulence to avant-garde and minimalism. “‘Made in China’ has become so stereotyped,” Williams stated recently. “I want to highlight another view.” And let’s not forget the Met. The opening gala for the show – an extremely fashionable affair, as it is held and put together annually by queen of fashion and American Vogue’s chief editor Anna Wintour – saw A-list stars and celebrities embracing the Chinese theme of the exhibition with gowns that tried to reference the country (sometimes with arguable results). Rihanna went as far as to wear a creation by Guo Pei, China’s first couturiere, while omnipresent Chinese actress-turned-American import Fan Bingbing donned a gown by rising talent Christopher Bu. Dalian-born garment maker Huishan Zhang, for his part, was asked to do a Met Ball-themed collaboration with American retailer Barneys New York. “The fact that mega-celebs are wearing Chinese designers has turned Chinese fashion into a talking point,” says McInerney. But is the buzz going to last, or is this only one of fashion’s fleeting flings? “It’s difficult to say. China has no doubt left a mark on the industry’s radar, but independent designers have plenty of challenges to face, and not just here,” says Liu. “Maintaining the level that’s expected of them now is what’s going to determine their success – and critical acclaim – in the future. But I stay optimistic.” During a visit to Beijing in January (made to hype the Met show but also lure Chinese investors), Wintour shared equally positive feelings: “I’m sure within the next generation, we’ll see the emergence of Chinese designers on a global scale,” she told the Wall Street Journal. Those designers, however, might not come directly from China. Although first-tier cities like Beijing and Shanghai are striving to step up their game with state establishments like BIFT (Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology) or privately owned schools such as Istituto Marangoni or the recently opened Condé Nast Center of Fashion & Design in Shanghai, many dressmaker wannabes often fall for the lure of an international education. Over the last five to 10 years, an increasing number of Chinese students have gone abroad to study fashion. Walk through Central St. Martins in London, and you’ll see swarms of Chinese creatives-in-the-making working on projects, exchanging notes, attending classes. Figures confirm it: in 2013, over 50,000 Chinese went to the United States to study art and design-related courses – that’s one-tenth of the total number of Chinese students in the US. The same year, 9,000 Chinese traveled to Britain for the same reason. Talents are looking outward, not inward. And, given their sheer numbers in foreign universities and their growing participation in fashion weeks abroad, it is only normal that some will make an impact on the industry.

Masha Ma, who launched her label in Shanghai in 2008, is a case in point. A graduate of Central St. Martins, she was selected and shown at London Fashion Week and subsequently purchased by a retail store in London. Currently, she shows at Paris Fashion Week, where she’s become a fixture of the catwalk circuit. Although she divides her time between Shanghai and Paris, it is the latter she calls home. “China is growing fast,” she says, “but it still has a lot to learn.” Like Ma, many of China’s pre-eminent fashion designers have formed abroad and now show at international fashion weeks: Huishan Zhang, Yifang Wang, Haizhen Wang, Uma Wang, just to name a few. Many have also won prizes, awards and competitions, or received help to showcase their collections from organizations such as the British Fashion Council and Fashion Scout, which champions young creative talent. This year, out of 26 designers on the shortlist for the LVMH Prize, six were Chinese (though none were named among the award’s eight finalists). Chinese design is emerging as a legitimate player worldwide, yet the road ahead looks like a bumpy one. With a title reeking slightly of orientalism (though its reviews have been overall quite favorable), China: Through the Looking Glass risked being a cradle for mistranslations and simplified preaching, as it is a show of appropriation, rather than one celebrating another culture (its focus is on Western designers’ use of Chinese elements rather than on China’s fashion itself). It’s a thorny territory, no doubt, and one that, transported into the realm of everyday fashion, might risk hindering the development of independent Chinese designers. As with most things, the West has long had a way of deciding what is and isn’t fitting of certain (read: its own) criteria, categorizations or typecasting. With Chinese fashion, the idea of defining what makes it intrinsically ‘Chinese’ can easily fall into generalizations, stereotypes and confusion. During the same trip in which she praised Chinese designers as the next big thing, Wintour also stated, “nothing that could be called modern Chinese style has yet emerged.” Such assessment might refer to many things – the lack of a specific Chinese sensibility to fashion perhaps, or of a ‘school of thought’ encompassing most Chinese designers. What it might also hint at though, and what some have lamented, is the fact that there aren’t many Chinese designers who have a specifically ‘Chinese aesthetic’ – assuming this means a taste for Chinese themes revisited. Does ethnicity have to play such a big part in the upward journey of a country’s style? From a recent interview with the SCMP, Ma thinks not. “While I’m glad to be one of the strong voices of Chinese design, my aesthetic extends beyond my Chinese identity,” she told the newspaper.

Known for collections that incorporate highly contrasted and conflicted elements as well as totally different cultures, Xiamenbased designer Shanguan Zhe, founder of label Sankuanz, agrees. “It’s hard for me to say that my designs have just a Chinese aesthetic or just an ‘international’ aesthetic.” Attempting to pigeon-hole Chinese design might indeed not be the best way to help it gain confidence. “Most young designers want to be recognized on the world stage for their designs through shape, form and technique, not because they use overt ‘Chinese’ elements such as dragon motifs or gold and red embellishments,” says McInerney. “Chinese talent is showing at international fashion weeks, but it also has a strong presence right here in China. That should help shifting opinions so that designers can be viewed on the international stage, as opposed to just being ‘Chinese’ designers.” “Designers like Sankuanz or Uma Wang are just so different from each other,” Liu points out. “But their standards, their ambition, are on the same level. That’s what brings them together.” “The main thing Chinese designers should worry about isn’t what makes their work ‘Chinese,’ but how to improve their production process,” she continues. “The problem is the lack of resources and supplies – China is the world’s manufacturing center yet, somehow, it’s incapable of dealing with small-scale orders. And that affects young talents. The local industry should offer more support to ensure quality and help them flourish. Then, things can go far.” Given the right backing, there is more than enough potential to build a solid fashion industry in China, both in terms of commercial viability and creative clout. Let’s just leave typecasting and nitpicking definitions aside.

It’s been a while since Dwayne Johnson won the public’s heart as wrestling superstar The Rock, but he remains the people’s champion. His Fast 7 just toppled Transformers: Age of Extinction to become the highest-grossing film in China, earning around USD320 million in a few weeks. His onslaught on the nation’s cineplexes continues in this big-budget action-adventure disaster film. When a devastating earthquake strikes California, rescue-helicopter pilot Chief Ray Gaines (Johnson) and his ex-wife (American Gangster’s Carla Gugino) attempt to escape Los Angeles and head to San Francisco to rescue their estranged daughter (True Detective’s Alexandra Daddario).

Jurassic World

With a name that references ancient Taoist philosopher Zhuangzi, it’s little surprise that Chui Wan specializes in mystical and heady neo-psychedelia. The Beijing quartet forged their sound in the mid-noughties at the ongoing, experimental, weekly Zoomin’ Nights. Alongside peers like Birdstriking and Deadly Cradle Death, they formed the Psychoney Collective that reinvigorated the capital’s music scene, a few years after the famed D22 post-punk scene produced local standouts like Carsick Cars and Hedgehog. “We were supposed to launch a label for bands with similar musical preferences, but we’re too lazy,” guitarist Lin Xinyu laughs. “We don’t perform so much together these days, but when we do it’s a lot of fun,” singer-guitarist-organist-violist Yan adds. “It’s part of the friendship!” Like Birdstriking, the group is signed to Beijing indie institution Maybe Mars (P.K. 14, Duck Fight Goose). Unlike their noisier pals, Chui Wan explores the artier side of psychedelia – foregoing mass distortion for locked-in grooves that are reminiscent of Syd Barrett-era Pink Floyd, Velvet Underground at their most languid and Beijing art-rock innovators Snapline. Their widely acclaimed 2012 debut, White Nights, led to two European tours. Last month, they performed across North America for the first time, winning rave reviews for their set at the Austin Psych-Fest, where they were on a bill alongside genre

touchstones Tame Impala, The Flaming Lips and Spiritualized. They continue to hit the road as they bring their national tour to T:union on June 20 to celebrate their stunning sophomore album. Chui Wan ditches the reverb of their debut for something that drummer Li Zichao describes as “more primitive.” Although the disc isn’t drenched in overdubs, it fully shows off the evolution of Chui Wan. Immaculately arranged trebly guitar riffs, buzzing organs and atmospheric viola are layered over a surprisingly danceable rhythm for a sound that is otherworldly yet accessible. “This time we left more space on the songs and wanted to keep it simple,” Lin adds. “We wanted to make something that was inclusive and just let it be.” AC // June 20, 8pm, RMb60 presale, RMb80 at the door. t:union,

Matt Damon may be filming The Great Wall in China, but what has us really excited is the appearance of Mike Tyson in Ip Man 3. The Donnie Yen series follows the legendary martial arts ace who famously taught Bruce Lee. In the franchise’s final installment, Iron Mike will play a property developer/street fighter who battles Yen several times.

The Avengers 2: Age of Ultron dominated the country’s box office, earning over USD150 million in less than a week. That hasn’t stopped Internet users from pointing out that its Chinese subtitles are bad. Hilariously bad. There are several examples, but the most egregious is a Captain America pep talk that gets lost in translation as a call to run away.

People’s number two sexiest man Chris Pratt follows up his massively successful turn in Guardians of the Galaxy with this reboot of the Jurassic Park series. Taking place 22 years after the events of the first film, Pratt stars as a velociraptor trainer on a functioning dinosaur theme park. In an effort to boost attendance, geneticists introduce the hybrid Indominus rex dinosaur, created from the DNA of Giganotosaurus, Rugops, Majungasaurus and Carnotaurus. Things predictably go awry, as she escapes and embarks on a deadly rampage. Bryce Dallas Howard (Terminator: Salvation) stars as the park’s operations manager, whose nephews happen to be visiting.

A Tale as Old as Time

t’s two in the afternoon and slot machines are snacking noisily on monopoly money when Hilary Maiberger takes the stage for a press conference at The Venetian Macao. Brown eyes bright like Belle’s, she grips the microphone assuredly, letting her other hand fidget in nervous excitement. Novice enthusiasm is the overarching sentiment of those involved with the latest

production of Beauty and the Beast. Like the Broadway musical itself, many of the cast and crew are touring the world for the first time. Though both unexpected choices for the lead roles, Maiberger, 29, and Darick Pead, 30, are strikingly similar to the Disney characters they portray. Bubbly but shy, Maiberger’s graceful demeanor and spirited vocals epitomize Belle’s charm. Donning macho sideburns and

a gentle tone, Pead breathes new life into the reclusive Beast, delivering his lines with a touch of wit to humanize the role. The two have even found romance offstage. “I think they saw something in me where they said, ‘She’s our Belle. We don’t have to do much with her, she can just be herself in the role and make it honest and grounded,’” says Maiberger, musing on her casting. Touring worldwide since October 2014, the 20th anniversary international tour has reunited the production’s original creative team, including composer Alan Menken and lyricist Tim Rice. To enhance the story told on stage, the musical treats fans to new songs that aren’t featured in the animated film, such as ‘A Change in Me,’ ‘Home’ and ‘If I Can’t Love Her’ among many others. “For me, every part of the score is a high point,” says Menken, who won two Academy Awards – Best Original Score and Best Original Song – for the 1991 film version. “Uplifting music was needed, not anything with sadness or tragedy in it.” Clocking in at almost three hours with intermission, Beauty and the Beast may test the patience of little ones, yet lulls are forgiven as soon as showstoppers like ‘Be Our Guest’ transfix the stage with vibrant costumes, larger-than-life choreography and magnificent melody. So far, the show has drawn crowds from Istanbul to Italy, connecting thousands of curious audience members to the power of theater for the first time. Macau will be its ninth and final stop. For young stars Maiberger and Pead, the journey has proven that Beauty and the Beast truly is a tale as old as time – no matter where you’re from. “It’s such a universal message. Places like Bangkok, where I thought it would be quieter because of the language barrier, it absolutely isn’t,” Pead recalls. “People love the story and they’re there to participate with us.” // June 13-July 26, tuesday to Friday at 8pm, saturday and

He Makin' Money!

An interview with 2 Broke Girls star Matthew Moy By Tom Lee

emorable roles for Asian actors are still few and far between on American television shows, but fortunately for Matthew Moy, his comedic turn as the bumbling restaurant proprietor in 2 Broke Girls is unforgettable. With his humorous mannerisms and absurd faux Korean accent, his character, Han Lee, has become a fan favorite. Visiting China for the first time for FansTang Comic Con, Moy spoke to us about everything from his Guangdong heritage and ordering dim sum, to his dream TV show and where he hopes to take Han in the future. I don’t know if you know this, but 2 Broke Girls is huge in China. Why do you think it’s so palatable to audiences here? Everyone, and I mean everyone, knows what it’s like to be broke with your best friend. Also, all the characters are like family, so there's that. And lastly, our characters can sometimes be weird people. I think that frees many fans in a way to feel like they can be themselves and laugh when they watch our show. Congratulations on being renewed for a fifth season by the way! How would you like to see Han Lee develop moving forward? I want to see him go steady with a girl. We're so used to him only dating someone once. What would be more interesting is finding out what kind of girl can steal all of Han's heart! I think it takes a special woman that none of us expect.

There have been loads of great guest stars on 2 Broke Girls. Who has been your personal favorite? Hal Linden! Such a great soul. Kind, hard working and such a pro. Next would be Valerie Harper. I just love old sitcom actors.

so it's cool to see where my Chinese roots come from.

In a recent interview you said that you were really resistant to learning Chinese as a kid. Why was that? How much can you speak now? Chinese was boring to me as a kid. I had trouble learning it. I didn't have the ear for intonations. So I just stopped and decided to take karate lessons instead. I can order dim sum in Cantonese a little bit! Hurray for never going hungry.

Why did a Chinese actor get the role of Han Lee over other Korean actors? I don't want to create animosity with other actors, but I think that's a more interesting question

Max and Caroline are constantly trying to make their cupcake business work. If you as Matthew Moy could step into the show and give them some advice, what would it be? Less chatting and more working! Sorry, I guess that was Han's advice too.

June 2015 / SZ / www.thatsmags.com

I’ve heard that your trip to China for FansTang Comic Con is your first visit to the country, and that you’re planning to visit your hometown, Taishan, in Guangdong. What prompted you to make the pilgrimage? And do you still have family there? I've never been to China and have always wanted to go. Unfortunately, I don't know of any family who lives there. I am fourth-generation American-born Chinese,

You’re Chinese American playing Korean on 2 Broke Girls. Do you think it’s more positive or negative that Asian casting for Western shows generally ignores actual nationality? Casting offices do not have such a cavalier attitude. They'd get fired if they ignored their orders from creators. If they're ordered to find an actor of a certain race, they try to find an actor of that race. Sometimes though, if an actor looks like a certain race, the casting directors have to slightly adjust if they're not satisfied with anyone else. Because ultimately, the casting directors choose whichever actor fits the role the best for what the creators want, and they're on a deadline. I auditioned with tons of other Korean American actors for the role of Han. Tons. Now, why did a Chinese actor get the role over other Korean actors? How did that happen? I don't want to create animosity with other actors, but I think that's a more interesting question.

If you could create your own TV show, what would it be about? I want Ken Jeong to be my dad, Bobby Lee to be my crazy cousin, and Rex Lee to be my uncle. Maybe Jamie Chung could be my sister. It would be a hilarious sitcom and I think so many high jinks would ensue. I also have high hopes for Ken's new show, Dr. Ken! Can't wait.

Finally, what TV show (other than 2 Broke Girls, of course) has you totally hooked? The 100 on CW. I love sci-fi shows with morals about surviving and bravery. It's so well done.

Yangbanxi

The model plays that revolutionized Chinese theater BY Tom Lee and Celine Song

hen Mao Zedong declared traditional forms of theater to be bourgeois and feudalistic, he opened the doorway to a subgenre of theater known as revolutionary opera. Encapsulating the essence of the Cultural Revolution, they were designed to inspire and inform the proletariat in their glorious mission to reform China. Overseen by Mao’s wife Jiang Qing, a former actress, yangbanxi were created that adhered to the government dogma of the time. Known in English as model plays, they quickly gained traction with the public – hardly surprising, since all art was strictly policed and few other stage works were permitted. Initially, eight were created, sometimes canonized as the Eight Model Plays, consisting of five operas, two ballets and a symphony. These pieces were frequently performed and filmed, held up as the epitome of Communist drama during the Cultural Revolution. They were deemed so perfect that, in the most extreme cases, people straying from officially accepted versions were accused of being counterrevolutionaries and shot through the head. Every aspect of life in China at the time was considered important to establishing a harmonious society, summed up by a piece of Party rhetoric: “The whole nation is a chessboard.” According to Professor Lan Fan of Shanghai University, a renowned author of books on theater, film and painting, this also essentially meant every aspect of life was under the control of the central committee, including drama. Thus, influential figures could justify extensive use of funds towards pet projects. “A powerful person, Jiang Qing put artists from all over the country and as much money as needed toward the polishing of the model plays, which I bet is quite enviable for artists today!” says Lan. Following the Gang of Four’s demise in 1976, the model plays fell from favor, but in recent times interest has revived, with productions attracting both nostalgic older generations and youngsters seeking to indulge their curiosity. Fierce controversies rage over the aesthetic value of revolutionary opera. “Some say that, though the content is outdated, the plays

Full critiques of the model plays are stymied, which has limited a comprehensive evaluation. “Our criticism is still largely political, not artistic,” laments Lan. “To some extent, there are still forbidden zones.” While the works can be analyzed within themselves, to examine them within the background of the period or in an international context is still taboo. Specters of those punished for making unapproved changes to the yangbanxi during the Cultural Revolution still hang over interpretations today, which largely stick to the traditional script. “What the audience sees today is still the original version of more than 30 years ago,” says Lan. “Nobody dares to mention adaptations of them.” Considering the original aims of the Communist Revolution, it is interesting to hear Lan mention the monetary benefits of putting on revolutionary operas: the ticket sales are normally high; there are no expensive royalty fees to pay, as with imported plays; it’s much less costly and laborious than nurturing a fresh idea from scratch; and there’s little chance of the production getting nixed by authorities, provided it’s a faithful rendition. “The model plays make things so easy. All troupes need to do is to teach some new dancers or actors with a video from the old times!”

Jiang Qing put artists from all over the country and as much money as needed toward the polishing of the model plays

have achieved supremacy in artistic creation, especially in evolving Peking opera,” explains Lan. “Others believe techniques can’t be judged separately from content… Whether those creations revolutionized or improved Peking opera is also under debate.” The yangbanxi are notable for modernizing certain aspects of traditional opera. For instance, the melding of symphonic orchestras with Chinese instruments, bringing together violins and pianos with erhus and pipas. On the other hand, propaganda was inherent in the productions and characterization was largely limited. “Take a look at the main figures, they don’t have a family life,” Lan points out. “No wife, no husband. They focus wholeheartedly on the revolution.” Even physical appearance was used to prop up the Party: protagonists were always shown as tall, brave and heroic, striking bold poses and bathed warmly in spotlights. In contrast, antagonists were unflatteringly lit and made to look short and sly. Some sources claim Jiang Qing only allowed attractive comrades the opportunity to play good parts, while ugly or disfigured people were shoehorned into roles as Nationalists or Japanese invaders.

The Eight Model Plays Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy

Story: A PLA detachment in Dongbei sets out to destroy a gang of bandits terrorizing the countryside. To circumvent Tiger Mountain fortress’ defenses, the platoon leader infiltrates the group by pretending to be a brigand himself, simultaneously marshaling the help of the local villagers to take down the stronghold. Revolutionary Virtue: The revolutionary war is a war of the masses; it can be waged only by mobilizing the masses and relying on them. Historical Background: Leading protagonist Yang Zirong genuinely was a military leader who quashed the outlaws of Tiger Mountain. In the very same month he achieved this feat, he was killed in a separate skirmish with another gang of marauders. The catchy title later inspired a Brian Eno album and was adopted as the name of William S. Burroughs’ only credited screenplay.

The Legend of the Red Lantern

Story: A mortally wounded Communist operative entrusts a secret code to a railroad worker. The Japanese apprehend the worker, his mother and his daughter, but through a trick the latter manages to smuggle the code to the guerillas, though at great personal sacrifice. Revolutionary Virtue: Theory of Permanent Revolution – there can be no compromise, no matter the losses. Historical Background: Based on a true story, the reallife grandmother, granddaughter

and father were actually not related. Fleeing the violent suppression of a workers’ strike, they lived communally together. This fact is referenced in one of the opera’s most famous lines, in which heroine Tiemi sings of her “countless uncles,” who are “even closer than blood relatives.”

Shajiabang

darity. Vigilance for class enemies. Historical Background: In the original plot, premiered in 1964, a stevedore accidentally mixed fiberglass in with the grain, which was bound for unknown lands; later, to further politicize the story, a class enemy was introduced who purposely added the toxic material to wheat, which was more specifically destined for the aid of newly independent African nations.

Raid on the White Tiger Regiment Story: When the Jiangsu market town of Shajiabang comes under Japanese attack, the 18-strong group of wounded PLA soldiers recuperating there rise to defend it and, with the help of the masses, succeed despite their injuries. Revolutionary Virtue: Fight the enemy to the last drop of blood. Historical Background: Another example of augmenting history to create great drama, this particular story was so wellliked that it became the basis for 31 opera versions in nine different styles. It was the Peking opera adaptation, however, that became part of the yangbanxi canon – as did the symphony created for Western orchestra, making Shajiabang the only tale to appear twice in the original list of the Eight Model Plays.

On the Docks

Story: Shanghai dockworkers are loading sacks of grain bound for Africa to aid in the anti-imperialist struggle while counterrevolutionary elements seek to sabotage China’s reputation abroad by conspiring to mix fiberglass in with the food. Revolutionary Virtue: Internationalism and global soli-

Story: It is 1953 in Korea and the treacherous Americans are pretending to pursue peace talks while secretly planning an offensive with the South Korean’s strongest battalion – the White Tiger Regiment – at the head. To pave the way for a counter-offensive, the Chinese People’s Volunteers must eliminate the enemy vanguard. Revolutionary Virtue: Never cherish any illusions about the enemy. Historical Background: Supporting the North Korean army, Chinese soldiers disguised themselves as South Korean troops and covertly breached the enemy lines to devastate the White Tiger Regiment, providing the real-life foundation for the opera. Beyond the fictional representation, the army was also able to capture the White Tiger’s pennant, which is still displayed in Beijing’s Military Museum.

The Red Detachment of Women

Story: Under the yoke of

a cruel landlord, the daughter of a peasant on Hainan Island escapes from a dungeon and joins a Red Army detachment of female recruits. The division valiantly engages in a series of battles with her former tormentor and eventually emerges victorious, liberating the people. Revolutionary Virtue: Women hold up half the sky. Historical Background: During hostilities between the Nationalists and the Communists, there actually was an all-female division stationed on Hainan Island. The story of these women was originally made into a novel, before being adapted into a film, which in turn was the basis for the ballet. Premiered in 1964 by the National Ballet of China, it was performed for President Richard Nixon on his historic visit to China in 1972 and remains one of the most popular yangbanxi today.

The White-Haired Girl

Story: A Hebei peasant girl flees the concubinage forced upon her by her evil landlord, going to live alone in a mountain cave. Her hair turns white, leading people to believe she is a spirit. Her fiancé finally returns from fighting the Japanese to liberate the village from their oppressors. Revolutionary Virtue: Class struggle, patience and faith. Historical Background: Local legends in Hebei and Shanxi surfaced in the late 30s claiming that a white-haired fairy lived in a cave in the area, rewarding the good and punishing the wicked. Though there have been film and opera adaptations of the myth, it is the ballet which has become a classic. The White-Haired Girl is prominently associated with the Shanghai Ballet, the forerunner of which first premiered the dance in 1964.

The Kids Are Alright

Hiperson leads the next generation of Maybe Mars art-rock by andrew Chin, photo by xiao fu

After months of accumulating hype, Chengdu quintet Hiperson is ready for their close-up. The winners of Douban’s Alibu Music Award for Newcomer of the Year have just released their debut album and will bring their first national tour to B10 Live on June 13.

“

I feel like I’m in class and the teacher just called on me to answer a question,” laughs guitarist Liu Zetong during a break from rehearsal. “A little nervous, at a loss for what to do, but very stimulated.” Few newcomers have accumulated as much cred as Hiperson. The group began three years ago in university when guitarists Liu and Ji Yinan recorded a couple of demos. Bassist Huang Rentao, drummer Wang Boqiang and frontwoman Chen Sijing later joined. Although it's each member's first time in a band, the early 20-somethings find themselves at the forefront of a Chengdu rock explosion alongside like-minded peers such as The Hormones and Stolen. “Chengdu’s a great place for bands. It’s very inclusive and there are plenty of opportunities for different types of music,” Liu says, praising acts like rockers Daredevil and Lanzhou folkies Gajin. Already, the group has been featured in documentarian John Yingling’s Mainland China episode of The World Underground series that covers underground music scenes across the globe. Domestic rock vets like Wang Wen’s Xie Yugang have taken the young upstarts under their wings, and the group is Maybe Mars-approved, joining

June 2015 / SZ / www.thatsmags.com

stalwart domestic acts like Carsick Cars and Duck Fight Goose on the label. “We were deeply drawn to Maybe Mars and hoped to be like one of their bands: genuinely young, dynamic, sensitive, adept at communicating and willing to sacrifice for the sake of music,” Chen says. Label CEO and PK14 frontman Yang

If you want to be in a band, start one as soon as possible

Haisong recorded and produced their album No Need for Another History and the disc will be available in double-vinyl form. “We wanted to structure the album as a timeline, beginning at the immature and reckless period from when we first started,” Liu explains. Their remarkably self-assured debut makes good on the group’s growing hype as keepers of the Mainland post-punk tradition established by acts like PK14 and RE:TROS. Musically, the band shows remarkable skill, disregarding the standard verse-cho-

rus-verse format for something more unpredictable. Their intensity and penchant for anthem-tune group 'whoa-ing' is reminiscent of early Arcade Fire. The poetic and charismatic Chen demands attention on stage. She’s been dubbed “the female Yang Haisong,” which she is less than pleased with, afraid the moniker “will take attention away from the music.” However, she shares his passion and commitment to Mainland indie rock. “If you’re interested in rock music, get involved in the scene. If you want to be in a band, start one as soon as possible,” she implores, while shouting out likeminded young groups like Xi’an’s The Fuzz, Henan’s The Fallacy and Beijing’s Birdstriking. “If you’re young and want to be an artist in China, you will encounter three questions: how do you support yourself, how will you handle your family and society’s reaction, and do you have the passion? As long as the answer is yes to the third question, then you will be able to solve the first two.” // June 13, 8.30pm, RMb60 presale, RMb80 at the door.

ver 50 years ago, Canadian philosopher Marshall McLuhan predicted a world condensed into a tightknit community by electronic technology. In this ‘global village,’ as he called it, information would move “instantaneously from every quarter to every point at the same time.” Living at the speed of light, he figured, would encourage a heightened sense of responsibility among humans. Today, McLuhan’s forecast sounds like common sense. We know the stakes of releasing a photo into cyberspace, and aren’t surprised when a political candidate is shunned because of one controversial tweet. Life is unfolding before us, but it’s only validated if it’s online. We rely on the Internet 24/7 to run errands, connect with

friends or access information. Our mobile phones, always reliably at our sides, are our passports to the global village. Nowhere is this truer than in China. Cut to any street corner in the country and see severe cases of phone fixation; people consumed in the alerts illuminating their oversized screens instead of the very real traffic lights in front of them. Currently, China ranks number one in the world in terms of mobile users – around 90 percent of people in the PRC own mobile phones, three-quarters of which are smartphones. For the average wage earner, a phone is an affordable, allpurpose device that’s more convenient than bulky tablets or laptop computers. More than two-thirds of Chinese citizens have shopped using their smartphone,

compared to an average of just 32 percent in countries like the US, the UK, France, Spain, Australia, Russia and Brazil, according to reports from PayPal. Multiply those statistics by a population of nearly 1.5 billion and China’s mobile commerce revolution looks more like a tsunami poised to annihilate outdated infrastructure and make way for the new. So what exactly is mobile commerce? Anyone who has made an online purchase is familiar with e-commerce, which refers to transactions made electronically over the Internet. M-commerce is a subset of that – activity conducted using a mobile device. This could be as simple as buying a sweater on Taobao’s app, scanning a QR code to receive a discount at a restaurant or purchasing movie tickets with Baidu’s

mobile wallet. More than just shopping with a smartphone, however, m-commerce is also about going 'online to offline' (O2O), or bringing mobile users to physical storefronts. Although Tech in Asia rightly called it “our industry’s stupidest acronym,” O2O describes a concept that may reverse the fate of crumbling brick and mortar establishments in an e-commerce age. “A lot of people in the West think Chinese O2O means virtual showrooms and all sorts of Buck Rogers futuristic nonsense, when in fact it’s just physical locations doing everything they can to hang onto smartphone-obsessed consumers,” explains Ernie Diaz, the publisher of China Digital Review based in Beijing. According to Diaz, m-commerce growth will primarily benefit brands and organizations that have a healthy, physical presence in China. Banks, movie theaters, restaurants and hair salons are among those racing to capitalize on the trend by parading digital coupons and developing efficient mobile services.

s Chinese society increasingly morphs to fit the shape of m-commerce, it’s hard to recall a time when red envelopes were actually gifted by hand instead of forwarded to friends over WeChat. The transition has occurred more or less overnight, and yet, with Chinese Premier Li Keqiang introducing an 'Internet Plus' strategy this year and mobile companies unveiling some of the most affordable 4G plans in the world, it’s not hard to see why. Access to mobile networks has never been easier, and everyone from Beijing officials to farmers in fourth-tier cities is on board. This past April, Chinese e-commerce leader Alibaba teamed up with state-owned China Telecom to sell inexpensive phones to rural citizens in an effort to boost mobile commerce. Each handheld device came preinstalled with Taobao, of course, along with four months of free 2G data service.

Even without support from such initiatives, finding an affordable phone in China is about as challenging as locating a KFC.

ture has sparked innovation in areas like online shopping and mobile payments. Gaining Internet users’ trust is crucial to converting them into online customers, and sites like Taobao and Jingdong have tackled the problem with comprehensive rating systems, detailed product descriptions and photos – lots of them. Whereas sites like Amazon or Etsy average about two images per product, the standard on Tmall is to display shots from at least 10 different angles. Moreover, communication between Chinese merchants and customers is instantaneous. Unlike the Ebay seller who takes a day to respond, vendors on Taobao are available to chat 24 hours a day, seven days a week. If mobile users can be described as anything, it’s on the move. Seamless on-demand service is continuously refined by users’ ever-increasing expectations.

Progressive mobile payments in China have further intensified the m-commerce boom. Kaiser Kuo, Director of International Communications at Baidu, describes how clever transaction methods can overcome the trust gap people have about spending money online. “E-commerce here is more advanced than in the rest of the world,” he says. “Payment services are escrow, so you don’t actually transfer the money until after you receive the goods.”

isk is marginal – sites like Tmall grant users a full week to return an item, no questions asked. Since the money is held by a third-party during that time, customers can cancel an order and be promptly reimbursed without ever confronting the merchant directly. As Alibaba, Tencent and Baidu invent simpler, more reliable mobile payment options, even middle-aged ayis are taking a break from dancing in the park to load up their digital shopping carts. In 2014, more than 15 percent of smartphone shoppers in China were over the age of 40, according to China Internet Watch. More shocking, however, is the range of financial investment services springing up as mobile apps, like Yu’E Bao and Baifa, which offer higher interest rates than traditional banks. “A lot of our best people are working on finance sector products. Baidu is even developing a system of loans available via mobile,” says Kuo, adding that it’s still too early to talk specifically. Mobile loans? Investing money via private apps instead of state-owned banks? This doesn’t sound like the nation infamous for its state-directed capitalism. Perhaps the Chinese Dream has arrived after all. Or maybe m-commerce is starting to inspire change at a fundamental level. Last year, China met its slowest period of economic growth in decades. As factory workers pack their bags to seek higher-income jobs in cities (delivering Taobao

packages, perhaps), the manufacturing sector has ceased to pump out record profits. Future growth will come primarily from domestic expenditure. Everyone, including the Chinese government, understands the viability of mcommerce in sparking consumer spending. “[The government] knows that Bank of China and all these stodgy SOEs don’t have the innovation or the necessary resources to match Tencent and Alipay in terms of payment systems,” Diaz says. “I’m sure they’ll let them keep it competitive, but I don’t think they’re going to do something backwards in that regard and try to stifle them.”

n addition to sowing the seeds for a consumer-driven economy, m-commerce has also kick-started growth in rural areas. In the first half of 2014, 58 percent of online purchases in China came from mobile devices registered in lower-tier cities, according to a report by Morgan Stanley. With more rural towns and villages going mobile, opportunities for O2O are bound to grow, giving mom-and-pop stores a shot at profiting from the age of QR codes and WeChat promotions. Like most fads in China, m-commerce is riding a wave of novelty, though it’s too early to gauge how far it is from shore. Generating USD1.9 billion in 2011, the Chinese m-commerce sector is estimated to hit USD450 billion by 2016 – about the size of Singapore’s total GDP. And that number is only predicted to climb. In a few years, traditional sectors like education, health care and real estate will likely have a much greater presence on smartphone screens. The notion of visiting a bank or grocery store will feel as archaic as taking selfies without a stick. Yet no matter how far we creep into this global village, life off-screen will continue as before. Relationships blossoming on Tantan will ultimately be tested face to face. Icebucket challenges, even when viewed in HD, will always feel chillier in reality. Our planet will continue to revolve around the sun – well, until there’s an app for that.

COVER STORY

ocial commerce' sounds like an Internet buzzword, concocted in one of those brightly colored Silicon Valley offices by a dot-com worker at his standing desk. Buzzy it may be, but social commerce is a big deal – the term involves, in one way or another, 90 percent of all consumer purchases today. To the uninitiated, here’s how it works: Mr. Wang buys toilet paper, multi-vitamin tablets and a bottle of baijiu on Tmall, one of China’s largest online retailers. Once he gets his order, he snaps a picture of each item on his phone and posts them on Tmall’s product detail page, which features a forum where people can rate what they bought, post questions, discuss topics and compare their retail experience. Anyone who is interested in buying can see Mr. Wang’s scores and comments. None of this is breaking news – sites like Amazon have had user-review sections for ages – but now they are having a real effect on the business side of things. By analyzing Mr. Wang and his co-consumers’ comments, Tmall (and any other company following this model) can aim its retail strategy in one direction or another. The platform promotes products with higher scores by giving them more exposure. The result is a cycle that encourages better products and services, with the consumers at the center of it; online commerce with a social layer on top. From group-buying sites to product-recommendation services, hundreds of startups and an increasing number of larger companies have embraced this model of turning products into conversations. China is leading the trend. In the PRC, where online retail sales grew 49.7 percent to RMB2.79 trillion last year – prompting Ma Jiantang, head of the National Bureau of Statistics, to comment, “This is where our hope lies” – social commerce has taken on a life of its own, becoming the backbone of e-commerce. And as Chinese tech users shift from computers to cell phones, mobile devices are blazing a new, uniquely Chinese trail. In early February 2014, during Chinese New Year celebrations, five million people opened bank accounts on Weixin (WeChat) and exchanged RMB270 million (USD45 million) with their mobile phones. And in early 2015, Chinese tech giant Baidu’s mobile market share hit 49.9 percent of its total revenue

– an impressive figure for a company that, on mobile, has to fight to escape the shadows of Alibaba (owner of Taobao and Tmall) and Tencent (owner of WeChat).

T It’s like China skipped a step and went straight to mobiles

here’s no doubt mobile social commerce is gaining tremendous momentum,” says Kaiser Kuo, Director of International Communications at Baidu. “The integration of social media and transactions means consumers don’t just use their phones to buy things or post videos and pictures. They turn to their devices to get services, to solve real-life problems, to seek advice from friends and to decide what products to buy or not to buy.” Purchasing decisions, of course, have always been influenced by friends’ opinions. But the fast pace and huge scale of today’s social networks means that a few recommendations can, in a short period of time, snowball in influence and change a retail strategy overnight. Location-aware smartphones, meanwhile, add the immediacy of the socially shared real-world check-in – giving local businesses with an online presence the opportunity to gain more customers and strengthen their brand identity. “When you buy a movie ticket on your phone, you’re no longer making just a purchase,” says Kuo. “You can read people’s reviews of the film you want to watch, or suggestions about what cinema to go to, what good restaurants are nearby, where to go for a drink afterwards. Same for clothes, personal services, food. The whole purchasing experience is changing.” While this isn’t only the case for China – US mobile commerce reached USD114 billion last year, and social commerce sales are forecasted to represent five percent of online retail revenue (or USD14 billion) by the end of 2015 – there is no doubt that the PRC is “years ahead of the pack,” according to Ivy Jiang, a research analyst at market research firm Mintel. But why is mobile-based social commerce so successful here? “Compared to most Western countries, Chinese consumers are less sensitive about their personal information security,” says Jiang, “which is a great advantage for social commerce businesses. Thirty-seven percent of Chinese mobile users actually want to share their history, make their location

COVER STORY public and be targeted by localized services to influence and determine their purchases – something that phones make possible through their GPS and geo-location services. In the UK, only 9 percent of consumers are interested in targeted marketing and advertisements. It’s a completely different situation.”

ccording to JK Shen, senior vice president of brand building for digital consultancy Razorfish China, another winning point for social commerce in China – and a main gap between the PRC and the West – is the way people engage with their online social network. Perhaps because of the restricted communal life that comes from the one-child policy, adults see social media as a way to create and maintain a circle of friends and peers they can trust. “Being ‘social’ is taken very seriously here,” explains Shen. “While in the West, mobile users are primarily content consumers on social media, those in China are avid content creators.” And when it comes to consumption, they are eager to share their views on which products to buy, where to buy them and what they think of them. In fact, roughly 75 percent of all mobile users provide purchase feedback at least once a month, while that figure is less than 20 percent in the States.

ooking at more data, it is clear that China has no real competitors when it comes to mobile commerce. About 75 percent of Internet users browse from their mobile phones. In 2014, 73.2 percent of consumers in the country had used mobile payments, compared to just 41 percent in the US. Mainstream Chinese consumers and social media users are from the post-80s generation – this is a market that was born mobile. “It’s like China skipped a step and went straight to mobiles,” says Elyse Ribbons, CEO of Geili Living, a social commerce app slated to launch this summer on WeChat. “Cell phones predominate people’s everyday lives like computers used to – and still do – in Western society. Chinese people spend an average of four hours of their day on WeChat, and everything is shared. Integrating a social layer in commerce is just set to become the norm. No question.” Although still under wraps, Geili Living will be able to connect people with small, transparent charities and NGOs across China by way of a game. Users will be asked to invite their friend to play and donate money

(RMB10) to different philanthropic projects rotating monthly – the more people they invite, the bigger their social circle becomes, the more points they’ll get. Ribbons, who has been in China since 2001, first developed the idea while attending Stanford Ignite in Beijing, an academic program for entrepreneurial thinkers. A couple of tweaks to her business plan and an admission into Chinaccelerator (a premier startup incubator based in Shanghai), and the concept is now about to be released as a “social enterprise and philanthropic tool on mobile.” The American hopes to monetize it by tapping into the influence each of us wields over our friends. “Social media and apps lend themselves to promoting and building validation, confirming that what you’ve done, bought or – in our case – donated is great. It’s one of the irrational, unexplainable but inherent bits of human behavior, and Geili Living is banking on that.” Ribbon’s app, of course, isn’t the only one doing that. An increasing number of micro-enterprises and startups in China are recognizing the value of user-generated content and embracing social influence on their e-commerce platforms. The tech giants are helping the process – and starting a competitive race of social com-

When you buy something on your phone, you're no longer just making a purchase. The whole experience is changing

merce that’s bound to give China even more of an edge over the rest of the world.

n March last year, WeChat, backed by Tencent, launched Weidian (‘mini store’), a mobile-only app that allows small businesses to sell products directly through the messaging platform to their followers and account subscribers. The greater number of friends you have on WeChat, the higher profile the store, and elements like repeat orders, personalized messages, giving away small gifts on festive occasions and having one-to-one chats with customers give Weidian a social touch. This April, Alibaba’s Taobao responded with Xiaopu (‘micro store’) which enables vendors to set up and operate online businesses from mobile devices and promote products through social media. Merchants can post new items by scanning barcodes or taking photos of them, while consumers can access storefronts on their mobile devices simply by entering unique storefront access codes or scanning a QR code-based business card using Mobile Taobao. Xiaopu will also offer location-based services, so buyers can search for shops nearby and vendors can provide more personalized services to customers within the same area. To further lower the entry barrier to e-commerce, Xiaopu is also equipped with a loan application function to provide eligible users with financing support. “Weidian counts over two million stores now,” says Jiang. “It’s an outstanding number. Taobao’s Xiaopu is set to follow suit. The phenomenon is completely changing marketing and retailing – and Chinese brands are adapting fast. Western ones have to pick up their game if they want to really compete in China.” “In China, the future of commerce is on mobile devices,” reiterates Shen. “The Taobaos, Jingdongs and Tencents will keep striving to improve, engage with and win over consumers on their cell phones.” In a society – Chinese and non – where a progressively larger part of your daily ‘living’ is spent online, people, on their end, are only going to share more. Although social recommendation can help you discover things that some algorithm won’t, the thought that private conversations might be soon commercialized by brands and businesses to create products more likely to be shared among peers does cross the mind. But that’s the price of the game, perhaps. In an ever-growing social market, sharing is caring. Right?

Homeward Bound

How to transport your pets safely home by Natallia Slimani

e all come to China for different reasons, pursuing different goals and staying for different lengths of time. What we have in common is that along the way we seek friendship and companionship, often finding it not only through colleagues and new mates, but also at the pet shop. Eventually, you will have to pack your bags and head on home. While there are plenty of things you may wish to leave behind (like old socks and bad memories), you will want your loved ones to join you in the next turn of your life.

If you have already looked into getting your furry friends out of China, you may be familiar with all the stages of the process: excitement, hopefulness, horror, more horror and, finally, desperation. It does not have to be that way. Instead of acting out a scene from Argo, you could be walking into the airport with your pet calmly, confidently and in control. All it takes is research, planning and a touch of optimism – and we already have the first two covered. In this short and simple guide, we’ll go through the dos and don’ts of transporting your cats and dogs to their new lives safely and with no unpleasant surprises.

June 2015 / SZ / www.thatsmags.com

When to start

It is highly recommended that you start planning your pet’s journey one year in advance – at the very least six months. Each country has its own animal importation regulations in place and finding out about them early on will help you put a time frame on arranging the necessary records and making flight reservations.

Papers, Papers, Papers

For some nations, you may require as little as a few weeks to obtain the essential papers. For others, it may take several months. Here are the general documents that you will need to have, regardless of where you are going: ● Your pet’s international passport, containing records of all the performed vaccinations (including a rabies vaccination made at least three months prior to the scheduled arrival) ● A vet certificate following a recent health checkup, issued no more than 10 days

prior to your scheduled arrival (takes two to five working days) ● Two full body pictures of your pet with a blue background ● A booked air ticket (needed to make sure the above 10-day rule is complied with) Total cost (excluding your air ticket) is around RMB2,000. For some countries, like Russia, Belarus, Ukraine and most other Eastern European nations, the aforementioned documents alone will suffice. You will need to present them when leaving China and, upon arrival, show them to the airport veterinarian. (In some cases, you may not even be asked to present the papers at all, and, upon answering a few questions at customs, will be on your way.) Other destinations are more stringent, and you may be required to arrange for the following procedures: ● Microchip implant. This is an identifying circuit placed under your pet’s skin. The chips employ RFID technology to store owner information and are used to return lost animals home. A microchip is needed

lead » COMMUNITY

when transporting pets to the US and most countries in Western Europe. Even if not required, microchipping your pet is highly recommended to stay on the safe side of things. Cost: under RMB200. ● FAVN (fluorescent antibody virus neutralization) is a blood test demanded by a number of rabies-free counties, including Japan, Australia, New Zealand and Hawaii. Test results take three to four weeks from the date of sample submission. But – and this is an important but – there are only a few labs that are authorized to perform the test, and your pet’s sample will have to be sent to Europe, so make sure to factor in delivery times. It is best to set two months aside for this test alone, should the country you are traveling to require it. Cost: around RMB2,500. Make sure to double check all the certificates you receive, paying particular attention to the issue dates. As mentioned above, certain items come with validity deadlines.

Who to fly with

When you’ve got a handle on what documents you’ll need, it’s time to move on to select the right carrier. Naturally, your airline choice will be guided by your destination, but before jumping on the first cheap deal that catches your eye, call up the airline and ask the following questions: ● Is pet transport allowed? It sounds obvious, but it’s crucial to check with the airline about your specific flight to make sure the craft is equipped for animal transport. ● How many pets can a person take onboard? Most carriers will only allow one, but some, like Qatar Airways, will let you bring two companions. ● Where on the plane will your pet be traveling? Depending on airline regulations and the size and weight of your pet, you will have the following options: – Cabin: some airlines allow pets to travel right beside you. Your pet’s weight plus the crate should be no more than 8 kilos. Your pet will then be like carry-on luggage and stay with you during the flight. – Excess baggage: your pets will be accompanied by you to the check-in counter and checked in. They will be marked as “excess baggage” on your ticket and travel in the special cargo compartment of the plane. This is the most popular choice among most pet owners and also the one allowed on the majority of airlines. – Cargo hold: your pets will be

checked in separately in the cargo terminal and travel in the cargo section of the plane, reserved for livestock. You will not have to (or be allowed to) accompany your pets, and they will arrive at the cargo terminal of your destination’s airport. This option is usually reserved for bigger animals or when the number of animals exceeds two. The cost of transporting your pet may differ from airline to airline and is guided by the dimensions of the crate and the total weight of the crate with your pet inside. As a reference point, a five-star airline like Qatar will charge you USD50 per kilo.

Travel accessories

When you have decided on the airline, you should receive proper instructions on what to prepare for your pet before flight. Here are the general requirements: ● Crate: your pet’s crate should be designated for air travel and big enough for your pet to fully stand up and turn. You can check any online store, like Taobao, and type in “pet aviation box.” Crates for larger pets will be delivered disassembled but won’t take a MacGyver to put together. ● Water: make sure your pet has enough fresh water for the duration of the flight. You will need to purchase special bottles that can be attached to the crate that will keep your pet well hydrated throughout the journey ● Food: your airline will remind you to provide enough food for the flight. However, opinions differ here, and some pet owners recommend not feeding your pet prior or during the flight in case of motion sickness. ● Sheets: to put on the bottom of the cage in case your pet needs to use the bathroom. ● Entertainment: while you will be munching on bad airplane food and watching

old episodes of Modern Family, your pet will be left to his/her own devices. Sneak in a favorite chew toy, rubber ball or anything that makes your little one happy.

Don’t read into pet travel forums

The Internet is filled with horror stories of pets being lost, stolen or frozen during the flight. While it’s necessary to take all the recommended precautions when transporting your canines or felines, most of the scary stories are urban – sorry, ‘aerial’ myths. Here, we’ve busted a few of the most common: ● During turbulence, my pet will be crushed by falling luggage. Your pet will be travelling in a special compartment of the cargo hold and the crate will be secured on the shelf with safety belts. ● It will be too cold in the cargo compartment and my pet will freeze to death. The temperature in the hold is controlled, just like the temperature in the cabin. There may be a difference of 2 to 3 degrees Celsius, but that’s it. To make yourself comfortable, you can ask the cabin crew to confirm the temperature in the cargo hold with the pilot. ● The crate door will open and my pet will get out. When you check in your pet at the airport, the crate will be secured with tape and zip ties. So, even if it falls, the door of the crate will not open and, unless your dog is a big fan of Prison Break, his or her escape is highly unlikely. Your pet’s journey home will require planning, commitment and quite possibly a significant financial investment. It may seem intimidating at first, but breaking down the project into steps will make it much less stressful. Soon enough, you and your pet will be reunited on land with all the worries left behind (together with the old socks and bad memories). www.thatsmags.com / SZ / June 2015

The Fog and Filthy Air

Combating the city’s pollution in schools by Lena Gidwani

veryone knows that China is polluted. It’s not news. And the culprits, so it appears, are right in front of us. An analysis of air pollution sources in nine monitoring cities, including Guangzhou and Shenzhen, shows that car emissions are the main source of smog. Fumes from factories, coal burning and dust from construction sites are the other main air pollution offenders. With vehicles, they account for 85 to 90 percent of the total, according to a representative at a national environmental monitoring conference in April 2015. Children are most at risk to these pollutants and their effects. Their respiratory and immune systems are not fully developed, and they have less of the nose hair that helps filter pollution. In addition, they also breathe a proportionately greater level of air than adults (meaning more noxious substances are inhaled per unit of body weight) and are more likely to be involved in vigorous activity such as outdoor play and sports, which is also believed to make them more vulnerable. Research indicates a clear link between pollution and ill health, including prenatally. A study conducted in Chongqing, China, revealed that fetuses exposed to high levels of air pollutants from a coal-fired plant were born with smaller head circumferences, showed slower growth and performed less well on cognitive development tests at age 2. The consequent shutdown of the plant resulted in children born with fewer difficulties the following year. So how is China dealing with air pollution affecting our school-aged youth today? Educational facilities in cities with grim pol-

lution levels like Beijing have responded by building domes: giant pressurized canopies that can cover sports fields, playgrounds and courts. Other schools have made it compulsory to wear face masks and have air purifiers installed throughout the campuses. In the PRD, however, air quality is reportedly better. The Ministry of Environmental Protection says that four out of Guangdong’s nine cities are listed among the top 10 Chinese cities with the best air quality. In the first quarter of 2015, the PRD reported no serious or extremely serious pollution, making it less of a challenge for local and international schools. But that does not mean that the issue is being ignored or that parents are less worried. Increasingly, schools in Shenzhen and Guangzhou are taking measures such as monitoring air quality indexes (AQI) in real time using readings from commonly referenced websites like Aqicn.com and Stateair. net. Measurements are taken regularly throughout the day and recorded. Health staff study the data and take into account the results released by meteorological stations, before recommending whether or not students should stay inside or go outdoors for exercises. Other schools are going down the route taken by cities like Beijing and installing air purifiers. At ISA International School Guangzhou, such devices have been installed throughout the entire network of buildings. Principal Elaine Whelen believes that having these air purifiers around the campus is an excellent way to ensure that her students are breathing clean air for the majority of the time. “Our school day goes from 8.30am to

5.00pm, and [students] spend around an hour and a half in the outdoor play areas each day,” she notes. “This means that for at least seven hours a day, they breathe in clean air provided by our school. If parents install air purifiers at home, that is the best combination – home and school – providing good quality air and significantly less long-term damage.” Other schools, however, such as Utahloy International School Guangzhou, believe that air purifiers are not the solution to the issue. UISG invested in five air purifiers as a trial and discovered that they had no tangible effect on the air quality in the rooms. In fact, air-conditioning units and the enclosed nature of a room provides a better air quality naturally by about 30 percent. So, if the air reading is 150 parts per million (ppm) outside, the reading in a room would be about 100ppm or less. “The issue in a school is that students and teachers are constantly moving in and out of our classrooms, mixing the outside air with the air in the rooms. Our view is that the only way to improve the quality of air would be to have a fully enclosed school, i.e. rebuild completely, which is unrealistic,” says Neil McBurney, Head of School at UISG. “Our regular monitoring indicates that the air quality in Guangzhou is nothing like Beijing, Shanghai or Nanjing. We have bad air pollution days in Guangzhou and we deal with this by altering our activities at recess, lunch and after school. This year, we have cancelled outside sport only on one occasion.” Perhaps rather than harping on about how bad China’s pollution is, we should just be thanking our stars we live in the PRD.

All about vaccines By Dr. Lincoln Sakiara Miyasaka

here is a common misperception that vaccinations are solely for the young. On the contrary, vaccinations are recommended for people of all ages. Improved vaccination coverage can result in a healthier, longer life, with a muchreduced chance of catching many preventable illnesses. For instance, the annual seasonal flu vaccination is recommended for everyone over the age of six months. There are also travelspecific vaccines depending on the area you are going to, such as for yellow fever, typhoid, polio or rabies. Immunization schedules differ from country to country but are generally similar. Since we live in China, we need to follow the recommendations of local public health authorities: Japanese encephalitis vaccine: First dose at eight months old; second dose at two years. Measles (two options): 1) Measles vaccine: First dose at eight months; second dose at 18-24 months. 2) Measles and rubella/

MMR vaccine: Eight months or older. Meningitis â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Group Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; vaccine: Primary immunization at six months; second dose three months later. For age three or older, only one dose. Tetanus vaccine: Children seven or older who need primary series doses of tetanus toxoid-containing vaccine should receive Td or Tdap, as age appropriate. People of all ages need tetanus vaccine boosters every 10 years. Other recommended vaccines: BCG (for infants), diphtheria, haemophilus, hepatitis A and B, HPV (can prevent cervical and other genital cancers), herpes zoster (for adults 50 years of age and older), pneumococcal, rabies and varicella. Modern vaccines are usually safe and effective. The most common side effects are local reactions, particularly redness or pain near the injection site. Systemic reactions (e.g. fever) occur less frequently than local reactions, and severe allergic reactions are the least frequent. Severe adverse reactions are very rare.

If a patient has a moderate or severe illness, the vaccination should be postponed. A child or adult should consider skipping a vaccine if they have a history of severe allergic reactions to previous vaccinations. Pregnant women and severely immunocompromised patients should not receive live vaccines. As always, keep your vaccination records up to date and consult with your physician should you have any questions or concern. // Dr. Lincoln sakiara Miyasaka is a family medicine

EAt/drink GOSSIP

The long, hot summer overtook Shenzhen in the first days of May, arriving in the form of a blazing, exhaustive humid heat. From now until early November, neighborhood pools will be the preferred Saturday and Sunday hangouts, while those with free time on weekdays should head to the beach Monday to Friday to avoid chaotic weekend crowds. If driving to Xichong or Dameisha seems troublesome and you just want to kick off your shoes and enjoy some rum coconuts, go to Futian Beach (p58) in Xiangmihu instead. From there, head to Coco Park to check out the newly opened Lolita next to McCawley’s. Over in Nanshan, Han’s reopened as Lay Z Bar (p58) in OCT-Loft but still seems to be missing something. Oh wait, we remember, half of their beer menu selection. Back in Futian, Princess Coco (p54) in Wongtee Plaza makes tons of lobster dishes, including burgers and salads. Be sure to Instagram or WeChat their tiramisu and affogato presentations if you want to impress your social media followers. Also in the same area, serving all-day breakfast and more, Deli Leisure has opened its first shop in Shenzhen. In Coco Park’s outdoor mall, Crepes Mania (p56) offers sweet and savory crepes all prepared in their open kitchen. We like the sweet ones, especially with ice cream added on. In the same neighborhood, Let’s Viet has been upgrading and will be reopened by the end of the month with new name Pho Nam. Baishizhou has its own independent coffeehouse now, along with a book club and musically inclined customers. Banxian Cafe (p56) provides a small but cozy venue that’s only a minute’s walk from the Baishizhou bus stop. For the more tea inclined, visit Honeymoon Tearoom in Coastal City. Run by the Hong Kong import Honeymoon Dessert, it has a huge range of tea and an all-day brunch.

h, prosecco, the more reasonably priced kin of champagne. Though some think of it as the poor relation in the sparkling family, its effervescent bonhomie makes it a much more constant companion. If champagne is the pretentious, fat grandfather who insists on quizzing you on Latin conjugations, prosecco is the funloving cousin who can’t wait to get up to mischief. In fact, wine consumers around the world have proved they prefer the lighter, less complex but infinitely fun prosecco over its French counterpart – for the past few years, prosecco has eclipsed champagne in terms of

sales. While people may opt for the latter on grand occasions, the more accessible and slightly sweeter prosecco is something everybody feels comfortable imbibing regularly. To go back to the earlier analogy, we may enjoy the formal grandeur of visiting pompous grandpapa once in a while, but we’d rather spend the majority of our time with the young, rambunctious cousin. Prosecco is always made using the glera grape, which is native to the Veneto region. Unlike champagne, which typically goes through secondary fermentation in the bottle, Italy’s sparkling star is transferred to a stainless steel tank before pressurized bottling,

PALETABLE

Cucumber, lemongrass and citrus cocktail By Christine Gilbert

ummer in Shenzhen – a hazy, humid blur of pool parties, beach shindigs and wondering when your friends will return from abroad. You’ll buy clothing which will stick to you, no matter how lightweight. The tan you’ve pined for all year will finally come, with barrels of sweat being the tradeoff. People will do anything to cool down: speed on their ebikes, toss handfuls of ice down their shirts. A nude walker in Bao’an was even sighted several years ago – twice. For those less exhibitionist, we have a simple solution: make a cocktail. Featured below, the ‘paletable’ centers around cucumber and lemongrass. Since both ingredients contain antioxidants, they’ll help protect your skin from sun damage while doubling as a breath freshener. Make a batch for laying out or evening get-togethers at your apartment. Ingredients: 45ml gin 20ml orange liqueur 100g cucumber 1 pc lemongrass 15ml fresh lemon juice

15ml sugar syrup

Method: 1) Slice a strip off the cucumber and keep it for a garnish. Cut the lemongrass in two. Keep the thicker end for the cocktail and the thinner one for the garnish. 2) Muddle the cucumber and the thin half of the lemon grass in the cocktail shaker. Add the gin, liqueur, juice and sugar syrup to the shaker. 3) Add plenty of ice cubes and shake vigorously. 4) Double strain into a prechilled martini glass. 5) Roll up the cucumber slice, and stick the thin bit of lemongrass through it. Place in the glass as a garnish.

than a child's head. The server pours the espresso on top while ice cream lies underneath the oversized puff. Tiramisu (RMB48) gets transformed into a futuristic chocolate ball starship. Once the chocolate gets drizzled on, it melts away the shell to reveal a nutty, chocolate rendition of the classic Italian dessert. Princess Coco has cleverly marketed itself to young Chinese women obsessed with posting their dinners on WeChat’s Moments. The menu is big and seems to be a work in progress. Affordable and unique in Shenzhen, it will be interesting to watch this spot for future developments.

rincess Coco is a fun little restaurant in the bowels of Link City in Futian. The Chinese-born owner grew up in Australia, where he opened Princess C’s first location. Now, with the aid of American partners, he’s bringing the idea to Shenzhen. The restaurant has a jaunty nautical theme and especially hypes up the Boston lobster burgers (RMB78). The dish attempts to channel a New Orleans po' boy. In fact, it's a beef burger with lobster meat on top of the patty, along with tomato, lettuce and special sauce. Served with the lobster head and

claws as garnish, it also comes with a basket of well-seasoned French fries. Since it’s more a novelty item, regular visitors may want to just stick to the tasty lobster by itself (RMB128) or the highly edible pizzas (RMB78). There is a bit of Caligula-like excess to a lot of the dishes at Princess Coco. That continues over into the drinks, which can be ordered according to your star sign (RMB32) and arrive smoking with dry ice. Desserts are the real showstoppers. A take on an Italian affogato (RMB28) comes out with a homemade marshmallow bigger

Banxian Cafe

Baishizhou coffee culture rises By Christine Gilbert

he bean of American thirdwave coffee has taken root in Baishizhou’s soil, sprouting in the form of Banxian Cafe. Organic coffee beans and musical jam sessions set the shop apart from other nearby hole-in-the-walls. Run by Lu Lu, a freelance scriptwriter from Guizhou, Banxian feels cozy and a bit bohemian – like the inside of a refurbished VW Bus. Striped dark blue sheets hang from the walls and ceiling in the back room while Christmas lights and bare filament bulbs illuminate the interior in an amber glow. A small, white sheet is draped on the back wall as a screen for Monday and Tuesday movie nights. Random instruments and associated equipment are tucked into corners of the shop – a keyboard, ukulele, guitar, amp and microphone – waiting for someone to pick them up and start strumming. Customers can also store their musical gear inside, so they can play anytime they want. Though there’s no open mic night, the venue would be excellent for one, especially a poetry reading. It will soon start featuring DJs on Friday and Saturday nights, too.

Lu knows the concept of coffee connoisseurship is new in Baishizhou and uses mostly medium-quality (but all organic) beans to keep costs down, but hopes to change that over time as regulars develop a more refined palate. Curious residents can currently purchase single-origin, handbrewed coffees for RMB38. We recommend the Panama single origin, a sultry brew of dark chocolate, oak and cherry flavors. For espresso options, the hot caramel macchiato (RMB25) stays foamy for every sip with a hint of chocolate grafted into the flavor. Though the mocha (RMB25) is smooth and strong, the cheap cream on top detracts from it, along with an overabun-

dance of chocolate syrup. Though not sufficient for lunch or dinner, Banxian has snack foods like the tuna sandwich (RMB25), filling with fresh vegetables, and the tiramisu (RMB25), which is small and flavorless. Other happenings here include a book swap and a Saturday night language exchange. The literature reflects the customer base and is mostly in Mandarin. However, that’s due to the cafe’s tucked-away location near exit A of the Baishizhou MTR station. Once you know the way though, it’s simple: straight out of the station, then take the second left you can into a small alleyway. Just look for the guitar, flower pots and sign that says, “Coffee.” Cheap single origins and good times await. Price: Approx. RMB25-38 for a coffee Who’s going: Young professionals, college students, musicians Good for: Third-wave coffee, jamming, catching up with friends

Crepes Mania

Nuts, fruits and obstacles By Emma Guo

hen we cruised into Crepes Mania on a Thursday afternoon, a profuse amount of wait staff descended on us in a flurry of aprons and menus. After a quick sweep of the restaurant, we chalked the staff’s over-eagerness up to a lack of customers – the only other patron sat on the patio, bored and smoking. We sifted through the choices displayed on the several menus nudged towards us to order two sweet crepes: the chocolate (RMB25) and the strawberry, banana and apple (RMB30), then added a scoop of ice cream to each (RMB15). While we waited for our order, we glanced around the rest of the restaurant, which seemed fairly small but tidy: a few tables in the front, an open kitchen and the register in the back. After taking in the inside, we chose to sit outdoors facing a two-story obstacle ropes course for children in the middle of the out-

door mall. While some of the kids seemed proficient, others will surely hate teambuilding exercises when they get older, if they don’t already. Regardless, it’s definitely the most entertaining spot to sit. The crepes came out simple and elegant with little adornment, similar to ones a good amateur chef could make at home. The chocolate had an abundance of creamy Nutella and a hint of peanut butter. Rich and sweet,

it paired perfectly with the chocolate ice cream we’d ordered in addition The strawberry, banana and apple came with all advertised fruit diced and stuffed inside it, along with a smear of Nutella and imported President whipped cream. We got vanilla ice cream for our add-on, which subtly sweetened and enhanced each fruit’s flavor. Crepes Mania is worth a visit for those with a crepe craving, and the sweet options are decently priced for the size. However, staff don’t speak much English, and after initial contact, aren’t very helpful – especially in finding out the Wi-Fi code. Price: Approx RMB40 per person Who's going: Trendy local ladies, French people, crepe lovers Good for: Dessert, afternoon munchies

Lay Z Bar

…Yep

By Rose Symotiuk

Lay Z Bar is located in a prime spot – the open-air hallway between My Coffee and My Noodle in OCT-Loft. With thousands of people walking past during the weekend, it would be hard for a business here to fail. The previous establishment here, Han’s, did fail. Han’s housed a lighting shop downstairs and a cafe upstairs, but their plain black exterior and constantly closed door always made it look, well, closed. The same owners have solved this problem in the reboot, now called Lay Z Bar, by tearing down the black wall. They’ve converted the downstairs area with gorgeous interiors featuring a wooden ceiling lattice and their own red mood lighting. That's about all they've done right. They've obviously heard about the imported craft beer trend in Shenzhen and are trying to take advantage of it. Though the menu is robust, they don’t have many of the beers in stock. When asked about a South African

Heng Tesi Cider (RMB35), the manager said it’s still coming – maybe overland on the back of an elephant? The service is positively schizophrenic. On my first visit, a quartet of Germans (the only customers in the bar besides me) ordered beers. The waiter brought one bottle and demanded that they pay for the entire order, bemusing the poor patrons. On my

second visit, four bored waiters seated me inside, then told me to go order at the bar. At least the prices are reasonable. A Magners cider is just RMB40 and Lindemans lambic only RMB35. You wouldn't know it, but they've got great coffee. Beans get ground to order and the best drink is named after me, the rose latte (RMB35). The coffee in a bowl (RMB30) and the coffee smoothies (RMB30) are a cool addition to the area. Maybe the management should rebrand again as a fancy coffee shop? Price: Approx. RMB70/two drinks Who's going: Aimless OCT-Loft wanderers, craft beer drinkers, Germans Good for: Iced coffee, confusing service

Futian Beach

But why is the rum gone? By Christine Gilbert

aptain Jack and First Mate Mike, two self-described “sociable boys,” recently built their own coastal bar, Futian Beach – miles inland from the South China Sea. “It was a horrible night when they came,” Jack tells us, referring to the sand delivery. After ordering 61 tons of fine granules to be conveyed to the Xiangmihu location, the driver told them they needed a smaller truck to transport it across the parking lot without cracking the cement. Shortly after the second vehicle arrived, it began raining. The pair, along with extra hired hands, worked through the storm from 11pm to 5am, unloading the cargo bag by bag. Less than two weeks later, the guys sorted out their landscaping, experiencing new levels of fitness in the process, like “six-pack fingers,” according to Mike. Now, Futian Beach has sand a foot deep, two basic wooden bars in the lemonade-stand style, blue and white striped deck chairs and plenty of island food and drinks to pass around the giant Jenga set in back. Go with the tropical theme and order Captain Jack’s Malibu coconut (RMB30). Full of fragrant coconut water and Malibu, it

June 2015 / SZ / www.thatsmags.com

comes with a tiny umbrella on top and enough electrolytes to stave off dehydration from the alcohol. Our other favorite here is the apple pie moonshine (RMB25 as shot, RMB30 with mixer). Spiced with cinnamon, it’s light enough to be had by itself and strong enough to give any mixer an apple cinnamon kick. For food, the barbecue lady makes juicy chicken skewers (RMB35/one, RMB60/two) rolled in sesame seeds and served with pineapple and grilled red and green bell peppers for a savory, fruity combo. While entry into the beach costs RMB30, patrons should be aware that drinks and food are purchased separately. Also, Futian Beach only opens Friday to Sunday at present. Though small, the venue offers games, live

music, eclectic playlists (reggae, electric swing and deep house) hula hooping and, at times, live music. Also, it’s the only bar in Shenzhen proper that encourages patrons to walk barefoot inside. During the day time, families come and play games, while at night, young adults drift in for the chilled-out, desert–island lounge vibe. Jack and Mike have lots of ideas for improvements and are testing the waters (or more accurately sands, as Futian Beach has no ‘sea’ yet) in what they call “phase one” of the project. With time, they hope to get some Turkish rugs, bring water into the beach and put a skyline painting above the side fence. As for right now, we say kick off your shoes, order a coconut, sit in a deck chair and gaze up at the night sky. It’s basic, but it’s a good time. Price: Approx. RMB100 for entry, a drink and a chicken skewer Who's going: People who hate the crowded natural shorelines, beach bums Good for: Family day out, Coco Park pregaming, sunbathing, giant Jenga

BANG CLUB

Coco Park eclectic By Christine Gilbert

ang Club continues to support the expat music scene with their latest weekly installment: live indie-rock sessions on Wednesdays. Unlike the other Chinese-style clubs in Coco Park, Bang offers live original music to its patrons while giving foreign performers a chance to play to a new crowd in a central location. The most recent acts have been Decaying Matters, Sessy and Kurt Zimpfer, and all go from 9.30pm until late. Other pleasant surprises

await at Bang, such as not having to spend a certain base amount to sit at an outdoor table. Not only that, the Hello Kitty (RMB48) is a girly but decent cocktail. The drink mixes the juices of many fruits –pomegranate, orange and passion – with vodka and soda water for a tangy late-night summer libation. Of course, the club has more standard drinks too like Stella Artois, available by the bottle (RMB35) or glass (RMB45). Food ranges from the bizarre to the average, with the pole dancing chicken going for RMB98 and slightly pricey egg fried rice available for RMB38. However, people will

come here for the nightly events more than for the food. In addition to the Wednesday evening shows, Bang also has mostly foreign DJ sets of drum and bass on Fridays from 10pm3am, with D-Soul and Quest regularly on the line up. The salsa crew can be seen on Tuesday and Sunday nights from 8pm to midnight twirling around inside while others outside teach moves one on one. Bang tries to provide different kinds of activities and music to a wide customer base of Chinese as well as foreigners. There is more intention here than the usual club setting and an eclectic but surprisingly balanced taste to the activity lineup.

Price: Approx. RMB100 for two drinks Who's going: Live music lovers, salsa dancers, drum and bass kids Good for: Original music showcases, dancing

Musical: A Marshacal Night, 8pm, HKD180-250. Fringe Club Underground (www.hkticketing.com) It all started when Marsha was overwhelmed with emotions after watching Les Mis for the first time. Her heart was racing, goose bumps covered her arms and she began to tear up as the voices on stage harmonized to the song ‘One Day More.’ This 12-yearold girl swore that when she grew up, she would be the one on stage eliciting those emotions in her audience. Soon, she started her musical quest, performing in high school and moving to New York to study musical theatre. Then, somehow, she left the Big Apple to start her acting career in Hong Kong. Join Marsha to trace her journey through her favorite musicals – and some of her not-so-favorite musicals.

Have Running Shoes, Will Travel

The best – and worst – Chinese marathons by Lacey Kang

t’s nearing summer and you need a fitness goal to keep your training plan on track. Yes, it’s time you signed up for a marathon. It doesn’t matter if you’re a first-time runner or a seasoned veteran, there’s nothing quite like the fear of a punishing long-distance run to keep you from sleeping through your alarm call

and missing out on that early morning run. With China undergoing something of an explosion in long-distance competitions, there’s more race options available than ever before. From rugged mountain ultras to scenic ocean runs, there’s something for everybody and every level

of fitness. The question is, which race should you opt for? We caught up with some of the runners over at Beijing-based HeyRunning!, the self-professed largest running community in China, to get the low-down on the best of this season’s top competitions – and which events to avoid.

Lanzhou International Marathon

Genghis Khan MTB Adventure & Grassland Marathon

Zhang jiakou Kangbao Grassland International

“One of China’s 14 government-certified Marathon Golden Medal Races, so will have, at a minimum, water stations and timing chips. Probably get a nice free race T-shirt too.”

“Massively popular, one of the very best races out there. Amazing running environment, top-level organization, great postrun party vibe. Register early before it sells out.”

“Potential home of the 2022 Winter Olympics. Likely to be a pretty well put together race this year. Within easy reach of Beijing too.”

Yunnan Shuifu Half Marathon

Beijing International Marathon

“Apparently there was an 80-year-old runner competing last year. That said, it’s pretty rugged and undeveloped out there. One for the purists.”

“Like running on Mars if the PM2.5 is high. The route is pretty lame too. But being that it’s Beijing, it’s hard to say no. Hometown pride! ”

Qiandongnan International 100KM Ultra Challeng e

June 2015 / SZ / www.thatsmags.com

“Possibly the best long-distance race in Asia, impeccably organized, stunning mountain scenery and very friendly locals.”
