Editor's Note

August

One in every 13 people in China is estimated to have a `mental illness. That, by any definition, is an enormous number of people who need some form of care, be it counseling or – for the more seriously affected – institutionalization. The number of registered patients suffering from schizophrenia alone is around 17.6 million – more than the population of the Netherlands. It’s a heavy burden for public health care to bear, one that medical institutions are proving unable to cope with. Despite increases in funding and legislation to deal with the situation, there are still only 1.5 psychiatrists to every 100,000 patients. The World Health Organization has projected that by 2020, the amount of money necessary to manage mental disorders in China will total a quarter of the nation’s budget for disease treatment. Beyond these figures, however, are the personal experiences of the people who have to endure behavioral health problems. Like many places around the world, psychiatric disorders come with plenty of stigma in China, alienating an already fragile person even further from their surroundings. They are seen as highly dangerous and shameful – and the doctors treating them don’t have a much better reputation. We spoke to psychologists, social workers, people suffering from psychiatric issues and the general public to create a well-rounded picture of mental health in the Middle Kingdom (p34). In lighter news, the South African singers who brought hope to generations living under apartheid are coming to Guangzhou this month. Ladysmith Black Mambazo have spread the culture of their native land across the world in the past three decades, introducing the sound of isicathamiya, an a cappella-like singing style with roots in Zulu heritage. Flick to p28 to read our interview with them. There’s actually a lot of good theater coming up in the next few months, including the recordbreaking musical The Phantom of the Opera in September. We spoke with the male lead a few months back to learn what it’s like playing a character more than 2,000 times (p33). In August, Spanish troupe La Maquiné has the perfect summer event for kids: a magical retelling of popular fairy tales (p32). For more in-depth articles, turn to p12, where we’ve dissected the lifestyles of China’s uberwealthy, or p16, where we’ve taken a look at how Shenzhen animators used to create frames for some of Disney’s biggest movies and TV series, including The Little Mermaid. What we’ll be most focused on, however, is staying hydrated. At our local bar. Tom Lee Editor in Chief

tales of the city Up in the air

Stormy weather Typhoon Linfa hit the southeast China coast last month, and for all the doomsday rhetoric, the city survived. While most people in Guangzhou and Shenzhen were only marginally affected, people living outside Guangdong’s twin centers were less fortunate. Linfa had been forecast to make a near-direct hit on Hong Kong, but the SAR escaped the brunt of the storm, which instead made landfall in Lufeng, a city in the Shanwei municipal region. Powerful winds and torrential rain caused chaos for hundreds of thousands, in addition to knocking over trees and cars. The typhoon also took out the power supply to over 700,000 homes and caused heavy flooding in Jieyang. Transportation woes plagued Chaoshan International Airport, which canceled 53 flights, leaving 5,000 passengers stranded. High-speed trains between Shenzhen and Xiamen, in neighboring Fujian province, were suspended.

A Chinese man is under investigation for assaulting a male flight attendant on a China Southern Airlines flight from Guangzhou to Los Angeles earlier this month, according to the Guangzhou Daily. The passenger, who remains unnamed, allegedly hit and screamed at the cabin crew member after declaring his seat had been taken. Numerous reports state that the man then continued to hassle the attendant for the rest of the flight and was quoted as stating: “Los Angeles has a lot of cars. You’d better watch out for an accident.” Authorities in LA were notified of the situation by the plane’s captain, who also ordered the crew to monitor the disorderly individual. Upon landing, police promptly detained the man and the case has since been transferred to the FBI for additional investigation. This came on the heels of an incident in Shenzhen where a number of passengers decided to snag themselves business class seats (instead of their assigned economy seating) after the plane was delayed due to poor weather conditions. In this particular case, law enforcement arrested the defiant passengers after the plane landed in Shanghai.

GZ-HK train tariff on the rise The cost of traveling between Guangzhou East Railway Station and Hong Kong Hung Hom Station just went up, though it’s unlikely to deter the floods of mainlanders who regularly visit the SAR. According to Dongguan Daily, this is the first fare increase since 1995 – somewhat hard to believe – and is being instituted to help balance the accumulating expense of train operation over the past 20 years. The cost of first class seating was raised from HKD190 to HKD210 (RMB166) and special class seats were increased to HKD250 (RMB197), up from HKD230. According to media reports, children aged 5 to 9 year old will still enjoy a 50 percent discount under the new pricing scheme.

July, the month when Guangzhou got divorced

Shenzhen stabbing latest in series of knife attacks

There was at least one thing that Guangzhou was completely sold out of last month: divorces. The number of couples applying for a separation in July left many local offices unable to cope with the demand. Due to a surge in filings, no dates were available for couples to submit the necessary documents, except for a few days in Baiyun, Haizhu and Tianhe districts, according to the Guangzhou marriage registration office website. Under Chinese marriage law, Chinese couples must have their divorce endorsed by the marriage registration office or take the issue to court – which is a much more convoluted procedure. "We are seriously understaffed," a director of a local marriage registration office in Guangzhou, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Women of China. "All of our workers are operating in full capacity.”

A woman was killed and 12 others injured after a knifewielding man went on the rampage in Shenzhen. The incident occurred at an unspecified city market. According to police, all those injured are in stable condition in hospital. The 32-year-old attacker's actions were allegedly provoked by a marital dispute, according to the Southern Metropolitan Daily. The violence is the latest in a string of attacks in the Pearl River Delta over the past six months, and the Chinese public as a whole has become increasingly sensitive to knife attacks after a series of incidents. In March 2014, a mass stabbing took place at a Kunming train station, while nine were left injured in a similar incident at a Guangzhou train station earlier this year. Authorities credited both those attacks to militant Xinjiang separatists.

RIDES

Jia Jia, world’s oldest panda

A poetic aside

Wooden rails

Considering Jia Jia is pushing 100 (in panda years) she still looks good. Now housed in Hong Kong’s Ocean Park panda habitat, Jia Jia was first captured in the jungle way back in 1978. While her exact date of birth is unknown (wild animals aren’t particularly precise with their birth certificates) she is on track to be the oldest panda ever recorded. Based on her estimated birthday, Jia Jia will turn 37 sometime this summer – and will oust Du Du, the previous ‘oldest panda’ record holder, who died in 1999. The years haven’t been easy on Jia Jia. While her coat still looks quite healthy, not all is well on the inside – Jia Jia’s vision is severely impaired, she can’t hear particularly well and she has high blood pressure.

Rather than simply focusing on practical expressions, it’s important also to explore the culture of any language you are trying to learn. Get a feel for the rhythm of Mandarin – and impress acquaintances – with a tone-perfect recitation of this poem by wellknown contemporary poet Xi Murong (席慕蓉).

QUOTE OF THE MONTH

That said, for an animal who is on pace to be the most long-lived of her species ever recorded, that’s not too bad. Jia Jia was gifted to Hong Kong from the mainland in 1999 and, with any luck, will live to see her 20th year on the island.

China’s largest wooden rollercoaster has opened in Anhui and, with more than a kilometer’s worth of track, is one epic ride. The “Jungle Trailblazer” hits top speeds of 91 miles per hour, zipping through loops, twirls and, presumably, the flashing memories of its riders as they experience pure adrenaline-fueled terror. The coaster’s all-wood (except, we hope, the screws and bolts) track stands in the Fantawild Adventure Theme Park in Anhui.

“It’s twerking.” The timeless words of a horrified Internet commenter, adding their two cents to a video that made the rounds online last month. The clip in question showed a chunk of meat found at a Chinese market – and it was, well, twerking. Maybe twitching is a better word. Or convulsing. Either way, it’s doing something that a cut of meat should not. Some netizens said that the meat’s movements were a sign of freshness – maybe a bit too fresh.

75% That’s the proportion of major Chinese cities to fail this year’s air-quality tests – and it’s still a huge improvement over last year. Three out of four Chinese metropolises had fewer than the required number of “clean air days,” according to a study periodically run by the national government. While that may sound discouraging, it’s good to keep in mind that last year some 90 percent of cities failed. So while it may be a bit too soon to throw that mask away, it does look like things are on the right track.

TROUBLE IN PRIVILEGED PARADISE BY Erik Crouch

THIS ISN’T THE TOP 1 PERCENT. IT’S NOT EVEN THE TOP 0.1 PERCENT

f wealth in modern China had a motto, it would be: “If you’ve got it, flaunt it.” The words would be printed out in a bold cursive typeface, in gold, bedecked with diamonds and dangled around the neck of a Tibetan Mastiff riding shotgun in a pink Bentley. Every few days, another headline outdoes the one before it. “Tianjin to host Snow Polo World Cup.” “Chinese Company to Offer 18-karat Gold iPhones.” “Hebei couple buys 30 Rolls-Royces for Wedding Party.” Here’s a quick test: are you in the market for a Lamborghini? How about a private jet? Do you keep your money in a private bank? Can you name a private bank? Let’s be real: statistically speaking, the odds are against you. Welcome to the (comparatively) poor house. Population: pretty much everybody. Their numbers are nearly impossible to pin down – offshore banks are like that – but China’s wealthy are a jet-setting, card-swiping force of nature. The typical dividing line between true “high net worth individuals” (affectionately referred to as “HNWI” by doting banks and concierge services) and your standard, run-of-themill rich people is about RMB10 million (USD1.6 million) in assets. On the books, there are about 1.3 million people on the mainland who are members of this exclu-

sive, expensive club. It sounds like a lot – but as a fraction of the population, this isn’t the top 1 percent. It’s not even the top 0.1 percent. Their population may be small enough to constitute a rounding error, yet their assets are anything but. They are the driving force behind each new Hermès shop and Ferrari dealership, each private wine cellar and art auction. In addition to contributing to China’s GDP, however, they produce one other thing in epic proportions: online scorn. “When the gold iPhone was released, many Weibo commenters called the color ‘tuhao gold,’” says Liz Flora, editor of Jing Daily, a website that follows the shopping trends of China’s wealthy. “The term [tuhao] is used to refer to someone obsessed with ostentatious displays of wealth and no real taste. They have logos emblazoned on everything, wear a big flashy watch and love gold and lots of bling.” China’s nouveau riche can get a lot of things, but respect isn’t one of them. Photos of ‘tuhao’ excess make for viral sensations online, where they meet the angry – some might say envious – wrath of China’s Weibo and WeChat commenters. But there is nothing particularly rare about a country’s newly minted individuals being criticized for being too crass and uncultured – take a look at Rich

Kids of Instagram, an account that posts photos of, among other things, 16-yearold Europeans and Americans with Lamborghinis and wrists overflowing with Rolexes, tossing back bottles of Dom Perignon around like it’s Gatorade. The account attracts hateful, enraged commenters faster than you can say Keeping up with the Kardashians. “Nouveau riche, by definition, will be associated with loud excess, no matter the nationality,” says Erwan Rambourg, author of The Bling Dynasty: Why the Reign of Chinese Luxury Shoppers Has Only Just Begun. “Coco Chanel once said, ‘Some people think luxury is the opposite of poverty. It is not. It is the opposite of vulgarity.’” Vulgar they may be, but China’s scorned moneyed classes are different from their international counterparts in one important respect: they are trailblazers. The Communist Revolution of the mid20th century essentially hit the reset button on any accumulation of family wealth within the country. Prior to becoming an Internet buzz word to degrade the goldplated-car type, the word 'tuhao' had been used to describe local tyrants – typically landlords – who were to be overthrown by the revolutionaries. That’s what makes China’s nouveau riche unique: there is no old riche.

‘Rags to riches’ may be a cliché, but it’s harder to think of a more apt description of China’s first wealthy generation. In America, there is the legend of Andrew Carnegie arriving in the United States with nothing but a few cents to his name, and turning it into a fortune. Compared to what many in China experienced in the mid-20th century, though, ol' Andy had it easy. “I was taught not to waste any food, not even a bit of a bun,” says Zi Lu, a 27-yearold from Huaibei, Anhui Province. “[But now] if I go out with my friends, then six times out of 10, I’m the one who pays the bill.” Zi’s parents made a fortune in Anhui real estate and mahogany furniture, but didn’t grow up with cash to burn. Zi is part of the first generation of her family – and many others – to never need to worry about money, let alone food or shelter. “People are jealous, and I can feel it,” she says. “But the only difference between me and other people is that I had a higher starting point.” That may be the ‘only’ difference, but it’s also the one that matters. Communism didn’t play well with the luxury lifestyle – the era of peasant mobilization campaigns and communal farming

didn’t exactly mesh with yacht clubs and imported caviar. But in the last quarter of the 20th century, the policy of “letting some people get rich first,” in the words of Deng Xiaoping, resulted in some of those first getting very, very rich. The difference between starting points began to grow wider. But what to do with those newly rakedin millions? The international brothers and sisters of China’s wealthy invested, bought property, sent their children to expensive universities and indulged in things like private jets and pampered international travel. For China’s millionaires, however, things were not as easy. The stock market is strictly regulated, property rights aren’t iron-clad, the nation’s airspace is largely controlled by the military and the Chinese passport does not make for particularly easy travel abroad. They were without many of the hallmarks of affluent society, but there was one opportunity to indulge: consumer goods. Louis Vuitton was one of the first foreign luxury brands in the door, opening in Beijing’s Peninsula Hotel in 1982. In the decades that followed, brands such as Gucci, Hermès, Burberry and the like all followed suit. Now, any first-tier Chinese

city is a shopper’s paradise – as are many second- and even some third-tier locales. It might be difficult to convert your renminbi into foreign currency or buy an estate to pass on to your children, but it sure is easy to spend tens of thousands of yuan on a few handbags. “I used to spend thousands of kuai on cosmetics in duty-free shops,” laughs Zi. “I would just give them to people as gifts, because I couldn’t use them all.” China’s wealthy embraced luxury retail with a wide smile and the swipe of a UnionPay card. Throughout the first decade of the 2000s, even through the depths of the global financial crisis, China’s wealthy bought luxury items like they were going out of style – and, it turns out, they were. “Chinese customers have become more discreet and less willing to show off their wealth,” says Francesco Scardaoni, Head of China Market for Lamborghini. Consumers who once snatched up whatever designer goods they could get their hands on have matured, and are setting their sights higher than run-of-themill brands. In the midst of this general cooling, the nation’s ongoing anti-extravagance and anti-corruption campaign has made previously kosher activities – say, buying expensive hand bags as gifts to lubricate a business deal – a dangerous www.thatsmags.com / SZ / August 2015

Lead affair. The 2014 Hurun Rich List – an annual who’s who of China’s uber-prosperous – included some 18 people under investigation for corruption, including one man who had been sentenced to death and three who had fled the country. Entrenched wealth is under the longest sustained attack in a generation, and it has China’s superwealthy running scared. Whether fleeing the law or just looking for another market to spend their hardearned RMB, China currently leads the world in one peculiar export: millionaires. More than 76,000 wealthy Chinese have emigrated from the country over the past decade, according to a March 2015 report from Bloomberg. “Even though they’re at the top of the socioeconomic ladder, they still don’t have access to certain basics for quality of life at home: clean air, better food safety, education at the world’s best schools and topquality healthcare,” says Flora. “The only difference between them [the wealthy] and the average Chinese citizen in this regard is that they have the means to seek these things abroad.” “I’ve been considering moving abroad,” says Zi Lu, “but it’s difficult at the moment because it’s hard to get a visa.” If the big status symbol for tuhao in 2007 was a Maserati or the latest iPhone, these days it’s a foreign passport. And if you think China’s wealthy are waiting in immigration lines or applying for citizenship the old-fashioned way, you’ve got another thing coming. A number of Western countries now boast ‘Golden Visa’ programs – accelerated routes to citizenship or residency for those willing to drop some serious coin into the host nation’s economy, with a name that would make Willy Wonka himself proud. When Portugal opened up its Golden Visa program in 2012, it was swamped with applications: eight out of 10 were from the Middle Kingdom. Hundreds of Chinese citizens were eager to drop the required 500,000 euros (about RMB3.4 million) and/or create 30 jobs in the country – a deal that grants residency (and easy travel in Europe) immediately and full citizenship after six years. Canada had a similar program, which granted residency to anyone willing to invest CAN900,000 (RMB4.5 million) into the nation's economy. The Canadian Immigrations Department faced a lawsuit last year from a group of Chinese millionaires after it cancelled the program following an overwhelming number – tens

of thousands – of applicants from the mainland, citing concerns that there was “little evidence that immigrant investors as a class are maintaining ties to Canada or making a positive economic contribution to the country,” according to the Canadian Ministry of Finance. Similar investment programs exist in the United States, the UK and Australia, and have not gone unnoticed. According to Hurun, 64 percent of Chinese millionaires have emigrated or are planning to do so – the greatest proportion of wealthy citizens searching for homes abroad in the world. The closest runner-up, Singapore, clocked in at a mere 23 percent. If China’s gilded citizens choose to stay in the country, they oftentimes opt for their children not to do the same – as Hurun notes, some 80 percent of China’s well-to-do parents send their children to private international boarding schools, the highest proportion in the world. “I didn’t spend much time with my par-

kids to go through the same bitterness – so they spoil them, to give them a better life,” he says. “But many families still expect their kids to be successful by their own effort.” It’s a weird contradiction – you don’t need to worry about affording that car or the latest iPhone, but you’d better get into the world’s best universities and boarding schools, lest you be considered a complete failure. Nouveau riche anywhere in the world have a difficult time leaving the privilege bubble, if they’re even interested in leaving it in the first place. Some things that others find nearly impossible – freewheeling international travel, buying the latest Apple product, raising money to start a company – come too easily. There is a certain level of wealth that is alienating, that places people a bit too far away from the daily lives of anyone not in their exclusive club. Hear too many conversations on how to get your private jet classified as a business expense, or how to go on an “extended vacation” to the United States while pregnant so your child can gain citizenship – these are the types of chats that the ‘normals’ don’t have, and which can really disconnect you from reality as lived by 99.9 percent of the world. The temptation to splurge is always there – on a new phone, flashy car or maybe even a less cumbersome passport. Society is literally begging them to do it: a billboard here, a newly opened Burberry shop there. Get a few million yuan floating around in that bank account, and your anxieties, hang-ups and frustrations don’t go away, they just change to more extravagant ones. Just because it’s made of gold bricks doesn’t mean it’s easy street. For every new iPhone, there’s an antiextravagance drive. For every new indulgence, a torrent of hate-fueled comments on Weibo. Get citizenship abroad, and then spend more time getting your international taxes figured out than laying on the beach next to your recently purchased Portuguese estate. Pamper your kids, only to turn them into aliens to anyone who wasn’t similarly spoiled. China’s wealthy have 99 problems, but being rich ain’t one.

The driven, no-nonsense attitudes that pushed their parents to earn millions of RMB aren’t necessarily the ideal qualities for a mum or dad. It may not be easy to feel much sympathy for someone born with a set of golden chopsticks in their mouth, but many of China’s 'fu'erdai' (rich second generation) are subject to a level of social and career pressures that make the stereotypical 'tiger' father or mother look like a doting sap. “Because my parents did so well, I always feel that I’m under constant pressure to do even better,” Zi Lu says. “Whatever I do, they don’t think it’s good enough, and it would be so hard to surpass what they’ve been able to achieve. I feel like I have pimples all over my face!” Ni agrees. “The older generations suffered so much that they don’t want their

Disney’s Silent Partners

The golden age of animation outsourcing in China by George Mckibbens

djacent to Shenzhen’s glass skyscrapers, a short bike ride from the Hong Kong border, live the founders of Feng Animation (风动画). Husband and wife team Chen Xifang and Zhang Minfang moved to the city in 1986 and met working in the same studio, during a period when outsourcing cartoon creation to China was big business. Chen opens the door to greet me while Zhang makes a pot of coffee. The walls of their apartment are covered in murals that seem inspired by Mexico City. It’s cozy and relaxed, like a university cafe or even a youth hostel; a space that is in no way connected with China’s urban tribes of stiff-necked office workers. Feng Animation began in 1996, producing award-winning short films. It was built off the back of a trend that started in the mid-80s, when a new creative class was settling in Shenzhen in order to make some of the West’s most popular cartoons. Animation outsourcing started to take off in the southern metropolis not only because it was a Special Economic Zone, but because it was positioned beside Hong Kong. Foreign clients from Japan, America and across Europe could easily come to the British colony to meet with a production agent, who would help them recruit talent from mainland studios to complete projects. Shenzhen became a city of cartoon factories, churning out frames for TV series and movies around the globe. Storyboards were created abroad with original drawings, but the grunt work was done in China – long, painful hours painting thousands of frames – cutting the production costs in half. Once the final ink and paint work was done, each frame would then be sent to Hong Kong for processing. Chen recalls working on his first project in 1986 with a Japanese company. The project was the hit US series ThunderCats, animated in Japan – which in turn contracted out parts to China. A typical work day was 10 hours long. Artists were given a dormitory in which to sleep. The majority of employees came from provinces outside Guangdong. Nevertheless, Shenzhen in the 1980s was a cultural oasis, according to Chen. “We loved watching TV in Shenzhen. Pearl Network showed so many foreign movies, we had never seen anything like that. We didn’t want to go home.” For those growing up during the Cultural Revolution with a desire to draw, paint and create, Shenzhen in the 80s was the Holy

We had to import everything. Pencils, paper, erasers, pencil sharpeners, all came from Western countries

Grail; a place where an artist could make a living following years when most found themselves solely producing propaganda. Xu Ling also remembers the period very vividly. While today she works with Chen and Zhang as a producer and manager, she began her first job in the animation industry as an interpreter in 1988, working for a company called Pacific Rim. As she toiled her way up the ranks, she was occasionally required to attend meetings in the US. “In those days it was very unusual for someone from the mainland to travel on a business visa,” she remarks. It was certainly a very different time. Shenzhen studios were not equipped with basic drawing materials, only labor. “We had to import everything. Pencils, paper, erasers, pencil sharpeners, all came from Western countries,” notes Xu. Pacific Rim came under a lot of stress in 1988 when they helped make parts of The Little Mermaid, Disney’s last hand-painted celluloid animation. The film was sent to Pacific Rim frame by frame on large transparent plastic screens generated in California to be painted in Shenzhen. “The drawings were controlled very strictly, and if one cell was painted wrong you could not keep it, you had to send it back. And you could not keep anything from the studio. That was the most strictly controlled project I ever worked on,” Xu recalls. When the film was released, Disney neglected to put a single Chinese artists’ name in the credits. So overlooked by history is Pacific Rim that it is not even listed on IMDB. This despite the fact that the company had a hand in DuckTales, TaleSpin, An American Tail: Fievel Goes West – even Hammerman, the short-lived cartoon featuring the

‘U Can’t Touch This’ rapper. The heyday of outsourcing has come and gone. With entire projects now done on computer, pencils and brushes serve as 20th-century relics. Pacific Rim closed in the late 1990s. The 1997 handover of Hong Kong changed the playing field. Chinese artists could deal with clients directly rather than going through Hong Kong recruiters. A gradual appreciation of the yuan saw ink and paint work move to Vietnam, and the dawn of 3D animation brought India into the forefront as China’s biggest competitor. Local animators decided instead to focus on making their own cartoons for the local market. One of the biggest challenges was (and still is) coming up with original material, as Becky Bristow witnessed first-hand. Bristow, a veteran of Pacific Rim who also worked in the development of dozens of iconic projects such as Garfield, The Cramp Twins and The Rugrats Movie, currently runs the animation program at Jinan Arts College in Guangzhou. “Creativity can happen everywhere, it just has to be nurtured,” argues Bristow, yet her experience at Beijing University in the early 2000s taught her that building a practical college program is itself fraught with difficulty. When she tried to institute her method of allowing students to create their own animated shorts – a method she employed with success at the California Institute of the Arts – she hit a bureaucratic wall. The need for some kind of action was made crystal clear in June of 2008, when DreamWorks’ Kung Fu Panda hit Chinese screens. With enormous chagrin, the Ministry of Culture looked on as Middle Kingdom audiences packed cinemas to watch an

American animation that was filled with Chinese elements. Why couldn’t we do this ourselves, the public asked? Well, one studio heard their cries, but the result was not a brilliant, original concept, but a bungled imitation of the DreamWorks success that only increased the humiliation of China’s animation industry: Legend of a Rabbit. Purportedly the first feature-length Chinese animation to be shown overseas, it bombed in the box office and was roundly ridiculed domestically and internationally. Many critics said that the plot points were secondary issues compared to the animation itself, which looked amateur and cheap compared to Western creations. In response, more cash was invested into the sector. Bristow points out that throwing money at the industry doesn’t guarantee original ideas, however, and many new animation studios remain empty. China’s animation hurdles are not just about playing catch up with the international community, but also getting projects green-lit by SAPPRFT censors. Like most mainland media, Chinese animators program for the authorities first and the audience second, since government approval (not audience approval) is what provides steady work. Typically, the cartoons that get waved through are child-friendly fluff like Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf (喜羊羊与灰太狼). Corporate interest in animation has increased, with companies like Alibaba and Tencent starting to fund major projects, though Xu argues that mainland investors are often impatient with the creative process. “They want an animation feature done in one year when the creative process takes at least two years,” she says. When I ask Chen whether Chinese animators get the respect they deserve, he pauses and offers a matter of fact answer: “So much Chinese animation is just copying. What is there to admire in copying someone else’s project?” China’s animation industry has been slow to find its feet, but at least it’s beginning to creakily move into gear. As Xu sums up the situation: “We worked on other people’s projects for a very, very long time. Now we are creating. Now we strictly produce our own work.” // This story was conceived in collaboration with Guangdong

Ling Long Spa

Warning: Auric Goldfinger has been employed by the Hui Hotel’s Ling Long Spa and is now posing as a young therapist named Linda. When asked to recommend a facial, ‘Linda’ will suggest the Swiss Essence Facial Care (RMB680/ hour), specifically the hydrating option, but don’t be fooled. She’ll paint your face in gold three-fourths of the way into the treatment, right before she attempts to rob the US Bullion Depository. The spa lobby gives no indication of harboring the Bond villain – a muted color palette of grays, blacks and whites carry from the floors and walls to the couches and shelves, with the

only accent pieces being two purple orchids and a porous white – not gold – rock sculpture. We succumbed to the lure of the 24-karat treatment, and after our shower, Linda swathed us in several fresh towels. She dabbed geranium essential oil on her hands. She hovered those hands above our face and told us to relax. Maybe she suspected we knew… Cleansing milk, facial tonic, a hydrating serum and a mask followed, the products by Spanish brand Ainhoa Jalea Real and Swiss brand Cell Code giving our face a thorough seeing to. Finally, Linda covered our face with silky gold creme, infused with precious Swiss plants and 24k nano gold, saying gold improves circulation and speeds up skin-cell renewal. We knew what happened to Jill Masterson though and made a quick exit back to the unassuming lobby – after a nice rub down with jasmine oil, of course. If you fancy your own adventure this month, Ling Long has a half-off August promotion on their bubble bath, body scrub and body mask treatments, usually priced at RMB380. One might say it’s a golden opportunity… CG // Hui Hotel, 3015 Hongli Lu, by Huafu Lu, Futian District, Shenzhen 深圳市福田区红荔路3015号, 近华富路 (0755-3335 3797)

Staying in shape this summer

Show of hands: who leaves for vacation and doesn’t work out even once? I’m guessing that a lot of you just dropped your magazine. But the summer holiday shouldn’t mean that your commitment to health and fitness comes to a screeching halt! Every year I watch my clients leave for the sunny season and pray that they will train wherever they go, but ‘vacation mindset’ is a big challenge. On vacation, people start to feel like they should relax and avoid extraneous physical activities, forfeiting time they could spend on fitness. I mean, heck, it’s meant to be a break, right? Well, yes, but staying in shape is a yearround kind of thing. You don't always need a gym, a DVD, a trainer or a class to work out. You can exercise anywhere and anytime, so I'm going to give you my favorite maintenance program. Personally, I'm usually at the beach when I do this, but you literally can do this anywhere. Twenty minutes is all it takes. This isn't a fancy workout. It's just a series of moves that will get your heart going and burn calories. First, warm up with a light jog and dynamic stretching. Next, pick a starting point, then walk 100 feet (30 meters) and mark a finish point. Run to your end point and back to start, then perform 10-15 push-ups, 15-20 crunches (if you’re on a soft surface, otherwise skip these), 5-10 burpees and 15 jump squats. Rest for a minute and go again. See how many rounds you can pull off in 20 minutes. And the next day, aim to improve. Trust me, when summer is over and you have not gained 5-10 pounds, you’ll know then that those 20 minutes out of each day were well worth it. And if a bit of weight still manages to creep on, well… there’s always the next fitness challenge right around the corner! // Kara Wutzke is a fitness trainer who offers boot camps and

TCM

Let your acupuncturist get you pregnant Fertility studies are the current darlings of Chinese medical research, with investigation after investigation showing that acupuncture has a positive effect on fecundity. So what’s the theory behind it? For both men and women, the kidneys provide the energy needed for reproduction and the liver regulates energy and blood flow to the reproductive organs. Treatment will always involve balancing these two organs’ functions as well as any other imbalances that are contributing to fertility problems. For women, I focus on regulating the menstrual cycle, increasing blood flow to the ovaries and uterus and stimulating ovulation. Research has shown that acupuncture has a positive effect on the ripening of follicles into eggs and thus a better chance of fertilization; it has also revealed improvement in thickness and blood flow of the uterine lining, and therefore a better chance of the embryo successfully implanting and growing. For men, the issues can be divided into two main areas: semen and erections. More than 10 studies have shown that acupuncture raises sperm quality by improving the shape and swimming ability of spermatozoa, making

them more likely to reach the egg and fertilize it. If impotence is preventing intercourse, acupuncture can be used to combat this as well. If a couple has no obvious fertility problems and the female partner has a regular period and is under 35 years old, then there’s no reason for concern in the first year of trying to conceive. If she is over 35, then give it 6 months. If she is over 40, or if there are known fertility problems, then come straight away to start treatment. Likewise, anyone going down the assisted reproduction/ IVF path should start acupuncture immediately. Western and Chinese approaches work very well together, and much of the scientific research done has demonstrated this fact. As with most TCM, what you do at home is important to success. Both partners should stop smoking, limit alcohol, get regular exercise and maintain a healthy weight. Women should have zero or very little caffeine. Men

should avoid hot baths, spas and cycling in order prevent overheating the testes. Most importantly, couples must have intercourse often. I know it sounds silly, but I have had patients coming to me for aid who were copulating only once during the fertile time in the woman’s cycle. I cannot work miracles, and I certainly don’t offer any ‘special’ services. I can help optimize your chances, but you must put in the dirty work if you want to fall pregnant. // Jon Hanlon is a Chinese medical practitioner, raised in the US, trained in Australia, now healing the sick in Guangzhou.

Beat the hordes to Galle, Sr

A mini guide to one of the island’s most alluring destinations By Joanna Hutchins

n recent years, Sri Lanka has changed the conversation from 30 years of civil war to the more appealing subject of its tourist attractions, which span ancient cities, tea plantations, blue whale watching, exotic wildlife, surfing beaches and jungles. In 2014, the tiny island nation in the Indian Ocean welcomed its millionth visitor. By the end of this year, it anticipates 2.5 million travelers – many of those from China. Now is the time to go to Sri Lanka – while it’s still in a relatively untouched state, unmarred by the commercialism that growing tourism inevitably attracts. And there’s no more captivating place within the country than the ancient city of Galle. Located about 100km from the capital city of Colombo, Galle is easily accessible from Colombo airport by a hired private car. An old Dutch colonial town, it sits on the sea and bursts with colonial charm juxtaposed with local Sri Lankan color. Classic architecture springs from the seaside tropical setting and a wonderful scent of briny sea air and Sri Lankan spices permeates the town, hinting at its unique treasures. Galle’s charm is captivating. It moves at a markedly slower pace than major Chinese cities. As you slide into the languid pace that the hot, salty air inspires among the locals, you may just find that you are happy to sit and sip lemonade on the terrace of some of the stunning seaside hotels and do nothing at all. But if you prefer to explore, there’s much to see and do in and around Galle for a long weekend or an even longer trip.

ri Lanka The Galle Fort Galle’s most famous attraction is located on a promontory and surrounded by the ocean on three sides. The fort is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, built in 1663 by the Dutch; a massive, hulking building of epic proportions, given the time in which it was built. The fortress is so sturdy that when the 2004 tsunami struck, it emerged relatively unscathed. Spend an hour or so here. Take in the breathtaking water views strolling around the ramparts and, if you come on the weekend, watching the teenaged couples paired off in dark corners, holding hands and stealing chaste kisses.

A bit of shopping

In and around the Galle Fort area are charming colonial streets with many lovely stores scattered about. Southern Sri Lanka, where Galle is located, is well known for its locally mined precious stones, excavated from rice paddies. Sri Lankan gems – cerulean sapphires in particular, but also rubies with their unique, pinkish-red hue – have long been regarded as some of the most brilliant in the world. (Random fact: the engagement ring of Prince Charles and Lady Diana was an 18-carat Sri Lankan cerulean sapphire.) As you browse the stalls and vendors, however, be mindful: taking advantage of the recent rise in tourism, a few unscrupulous dealers have been known to sell silver for white gold and glass in place of gemstones. For reputable and trustworthy products, try MM Ibrahim (47 Church Street), known for

Among the most attractive spots for a sunset drink overlooking the beach are the Grand Terrace of the Lighthouse Hotel, where you can watch the ocean waves dramatically crash on the rocks below, and Sun House, a former colonial home converted into a hotel where you can enjoy a cocktail from Dicks Bar or savor one of their lovely meals – try their famous Sunday night curry dinner. With its mahogany-lined terrace, Amangalla Hotel is another excellent place to unwind after a hot day, and their dining room makes for one of the best restaurants around.

Mangala (43a Columbo Road) also offers fairly priced baubles, while Manika (Fort Gallery) does original pieces and designs. No trip to Galle would be complete without the purchase of a small but dazzling memento. If you are more into local handicrafts, textiles and curious objets d’art, you will be in heaven with the imaginative selections of rustic pendants and bracelets, hand-carved wooden statues, pillows and table linens. We recommend Elephant Walk (30 Church Street), which offers hand-painted bowls, wooden furnishings and other examples of Sri Lankan workmanship. Kanhanda Kanda Collection (Pedlar Street) and Barefoot (41 Pedlar Street) do local, hand-loomed textiles and great gift items to bring back home.

Recommended day trips Galle can be well covered in two to three days, so you might want to take advantage of some of the amazing nearby attractions, like the tea plantations and surfing beaches. Wijaya surf beach in Unawatuna lies 7 kilometers south of Galle. Here, you can spend the day on the beach and try your hand at surfing. Or do as we did: enjoy a leisurely curry lunch at Wijaya Beach Cottages. Perfectly perched on the seafront, the restaurant overlooks a calming stretch of sand and water. Relax on the terrace with a thatched roof and watch families frolic in the sand, surfers trying to catch a wave and locals on the rocks fishing by hand for their dinner. Nearby, Handunugoda Tea Estate in Ahangama is a 140-year-old plantation as well as a spice and rubber tree farm. Sri Lanka is the third largest tea producer in the world and there is no tea plantation on the island more famous than Handunugoda – the legendary place that used to produce the famous 'virgin' white tea for the Song Emperor Huizhong. Only chaste maidens, so the story goes, harvested the tea, never touching it with their own hands, but instead using golden scissors and bowls to collect the leaves. Here, visitors can witness the entire production process – from the fresh green leaves gathered from the

harvest to the dried ones that go to tea manufacturers. But there is more than just tea at Handunugoda. Before they started making the brew in the 1800s, Sri Lanka had been producing cinnamon since the 1700s under Dutch rule. The spice farm at Handunugoda showcases plenty of that, as well as natural rubber, obtained by cutting the tree with a knife till it 'bleeds' a liquid that’s then collected and, as it hardens, becomes rubber. Galle’s charms are seemingly endless, and the city provides a fantastic strategic location to explore Southern Sri Lanka. Whether you are there a few days or a few weeks, you are unlikely to leave without the island’s charm forever imprinted in your memory.

The Snow Queen

Aug 3

This Russian adaptation of the Hans Christian Andersen classic has gone through a wild ride. Released in 2012, it was initially considered a box office flop at home but has since gone on to be a pioneer for Russian cinema. It’s been screened in more than 80 territories, becoming the first Russian film to be released theatrically in Pakistan and the first Russian animated film to secure a wide release in China. CCTV host Liu Chunyan and singer Huo Zun have dubbed parts in this edition, with the sequel set to be released in China later this year. As with most modern franchises, a third film is in production, and there are expectations that Chinese investors will be involved in its 2016 release.

Based on celebrity chef Eddie Huang’s autobiography, Fresh Off the Boat is the first American sitcom about an AmericanAsian family in 21 years. The critical and commercial hit follows an 11-year-old rap-obsessed Huang as his family moves from Washington DC to Orlando to start a steakhouse. Set in the mid-90s, it’s drawn favorable comparisons to The Wonder Years and Everybody Hates Chris.

Award-winning Chinese novelist Liu Zhenyun gets his first English translation with the uproarious The Cook, the Crook and the Real Estate Tycoon. Driven by its plot of stolen goods, it’s a wry romp through contemporary Beijing mixing the worlds of migrant workers and the city’s super rich. Released by Arcade Publishing, it’s available on Amazon starting August 4.

The youthful Beijing quartet Bedstars have become underground favorites with a classic rock and roll spirit that evokes the Rolling Stones at their booziest, Johnny Thunders and their Wasted Orient predecessors Joyside. Released on Maybe Mars, Wet Hearts & Dry Vomit is a perfect blend of hard alcohol and strong hormones. The soundtrack to your boozy summer is available on downloads. maybemars.org.

Earlier this year, Netflix’s stock prices soared after its announcement that it would enter China. Chief Executive Reed Hastings has since cooled ambitions to launch by 2016, citing difficulties in securing government clearance. “We still have some things to figure out, so I suppose it’s possible,” he recently said.

From Apartheid to Freedom

Traveling through time with Ladysmith Black Mambazo by Tom Lee

here are many roads to worldwide renown, but few of them involve being discovered by a 60s musical icon and championed by a Nobel Prize winner. That, in a nutshell, is the story of Ladysmith Black Mambazo, an a cappella vocal group whose roots lie in the farmlands of South Africa. But that summary only scratches the surface of an astonishing tale that has its beginnings in the apartheid era, when the SA government ferociously pursued a policy of keeping whites and blacks separate. It all started, so the legend goes, when founder Joseph Shabalala had a dream. A dream of voices singing in harmony. Inspired by Zulu music, in particular isicathamiya, Shabalala formed an all-male ensemble that would go on to outperform all others. So powerful was the group’s sound that they were banned from competing in singing contests – they were just so much better than everyone else. At the heart of Ladysmith Black Mambazo’s raison d’etre was a desire to promote the beauty of South African culture. The group’s big break came when they were featured on Paul Simon’s album Graceland, a hugely successful record that thrust them into the global spotlight – and they haven’t let up since.

“When we first became known outside of South Africa, after singing with Paul Simon in 1986, we began to travel the world singing to so many people. We thought that we would do this for about five years, maybe a little longer. However, it’s been almost 30 years and we continue to travel the world seven months of the year singing about South Africa, singing our cultural history to thousands and thousands of people,” says Albert Mazibuko, one of the group’s original members and cousin to Shabalala. “After all these years we meet so many people who return to our concerts year after year because they feel the love we sing about. We know our mission to spread South African culture has been felt and we are very proud for this.”

While Graceland was a commercial hit, it also attracted controversy. Critics claimed Simon had pilfered South African heritage for monetary benefit. At a time when racial segregation was still going strong, some people were affronted at this white American and what they perceived as his cultural colonialism. At the same time, it was clear that appearing on Graceland had opened many doors for Ladysmith Black Mambazo, who went on to stage shows all over the world and work with artists such as Michael Jackson and Dolly Parton, two of Mazibuko’s favorite collaborations. The singers’ proudest achievement, however, was when they were asked by Nelson Mandela personally to accompany him to accept his Nobel Peace Prize in 1993. “All South Africans looked to Mandela for guidance as we went from a pariah nation to a nation of freedom. Ninety percent of our people were not free because of the apartheid policies so, of course, when Mandela was freed, we knew our lives would be changing for the better. Then, Nelson Mandela was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993. It was such an important moment for South Africa,” recalls Mazibuko. “We had been told that our group was one of Mandela’s favorite groups to listen to when

he was in prison. After the Nobel Peace Prize was announced, Mandela contacted us to say he wanted Ladysmith Black Mambazo to join him on his trip to Oslo so we could sing for the people there. This was an amazing moment for us. Nelson Mandela was going to receive the Nobel Peace Prize and he wanted us to go with him and represent South Africa. Of course we went and it was the most amazing moment in our career. We are so thankful we were allowed to have that moment.” Ladysmith Black Mambazo went on to perform at Mandela’s inauguration in 1994. Despite their long-standing association with politics, however, Mazibuko describes the group as “apolitical.” “We believe people should unite to create a better world for themselves. We believe all politicians should be working to help the people. But we don’t align ourselves with politics or political parties,” he says. “We don’t want to choose sides. We say all sides need to come together and help the people. This is what we have always been singing about and what we will continue to do. We think this is, indeed, essential to who we are and what our mission is.” Though the lineup has changed over the last five decades, it has remained a largely family affair, with members drawn from Shabalala’s kin. That tradition is very important to the ensemble, in order to ensure the continuation of its original goals. Shabalala

It’s been almost 30 years and we continue to travel the world seven months of the year singing about South Africa, singing our cultural history to thousands and thousands of people trained his sons from early childhood in his art, instilling in them a pride for Ladysmith Black Mambazo’s history and ethos – they joined the group in 1993. “In fact, we now have our first grandson in the group, the third generation of Ladysmith Black Mambazo,” notes Mazibuko. “This ensures that Joseph Shabalala’s dream will continue for decades to come.” With three Grammy wins and 15 nominations, in addition to a slew of other awards, Ladysmith Black Mambazo has certainly seen their fair share of success. The group’s output has continued steadily throughout the decades, and they still release albums every year or two, as well as working with artists in a variety of genres. Most recently, they were featured

alongside duo Nico & Vinz on a track by French mega producer David Guetta, giving their sound an electro beat. “David Guetta’s music is, indeed, very different from what we are normally asked to sing with, but that is what is so wonderful about music, many styles coming together to create something beautiful. As long as it makes the people happy, we’re all for it,” remarks Mazibuko. Ladysmith Black Mambazo spends more than half the year on the road, as they continue to share their music with audiences on every continent. Yet, despite the fact that Shabalala is now in his 70s and Mazibuko in his late 60s, they have no intention of easing up. “It can be exhausting, but this is what our mission has been and will continue to be as long as people want to hear us. We’re very fortunate to have our opportunity, as many music groups come and go fast, but we’ve been singing for South Africans since 1964 and the whole world since 1986. If we slow down then people might stop caring. If they stop caring about us then they will care less about South Africa. We must continue our mission of spreading the culture and love of South Africa.”

Art

or a brief few months in the summer of 2010, London-born designer Thomas Heatherwick became one of the most famous foreign names in

China. Having been tasked by the British government with overseeing the design of the UK pavilion at that year’s Shanghai World Expo, the then 40-year-old Heatherwick chose to abandon expo protocol – which typically sees participating countries create interior-focused museum spaces – and focus instead on the building’s exterior. The result was a spherical dandelionshaped design, made up of over 60,000 acrylic rods, held in place by geometrically cut holes and each housing a unique plant seed, known colloquially as the ‘Seed Cathedral.’ Recipient of the BIE (Bureau International des Expositions) gold award for best pavilion design and radically different from anything else on display, Heatherwick’s sculpture structure would go on to become the defining image of the Expo – attracting over seven million visitors and lines that stretched several thousand deep. “It was our [studio’s] most important breakthrough moment. It changed our landscape and suddenly we burst out from this little London-centric world,” says Heatherwick, who is today visiting Beijing’s Central Academy of Fine Arts (CAFA) as part of a UK government-sponsored lecture tour of Asia. “The competition happened just as the global financial crisis happened, and so the British government was sort of thinking, what are we doing? Why are we doing this? Maybe we shouldn’t do anything at all,” continues the designer, who, by his own admission, was given “less than half the money” made available to other participating nations. “And so we argued to the British government that the most important thing was to do something powerful and idiosyncratic and singular. We had this sense that Britain shouldn’t be a cheesy country that always talks about tea bags, and how it rains, and castles and queens and David Beckham – however much you love David Beckham.” Heatherwick’s insistence on refusing to bow to tradition has become something of a trademark. Throughout the last two decades, his name has become synonymous with a unique form of conceptually minded design that defies easy categorization. From his redesign of the iconic London Routemaster bus, to the recently unveiled – and somewhat controversial – design for Google’s new San Francisco headquarters, Heatherwick appears intent on disregarding conventional notions of what a designer should be, preferring instead to work across disciplines. In his 2012 book, Making, Heatherwick outlines this philosophy in more detail, stating that instead of “rigidly dividing artistic thinking into separate crafts and professions such as sculpture, architecture, fashion, embroidery,

metalwork and landscape, product and furniture design,” he prefers to consider all design in “three dimensions, not as multi-disciplinary design, but as a single discipline: three-dimensional design.” Such concepts have led to lofty comparisons. The Guardian called Heatherwick the “new da Vinci of design,” others meanwhile have suggested that he is no longer a designer – but a modern-day inventor. It’s a title that Heatherwick appears keen to embrace. Discussing the theoretical process leading to the creation of the UK pavilion, he stresses the importance of innovation. “Obvious, cliched ideas, like the dragon, or red tiles, or whatever, are not the way forward. The way forward is by inventing new languages that are true – through and through – that give an unshakable solidity. That’s the way.” Softly spoken, but with an infectious sense of enthusiasm, there is something of the children’s TV presenter about Heatherwick, who at 45 years old maintains a childlike wonder for the world – and all its infinite possibilities. Yet it is the subject of China – and Chinese design – that leaves Heatherwick most animated. “I hope I will be designing here for the rest of my life. I feel part Chinese now because I have been [here] so many times. My mind has been broadened and opened up by the ability to make things happen, by the optimism that things are possible here.” Such possibilities have led, in recent years, to accusations that certain foreign architects have treated China like a playground, creating outlandish fantasy buildings that would be impossible to build elsewhere in the world. “I am not a conventional architect, so luckily I can dodge that bullet,” laughs Heatherwick. “Truthfully though, I think the most important thing is to know the reasons why things are like they are. I am passionate about how to find authenticity, or create that authenticity, or invent that authenticity, in the most genuine way, without falling back on fake references, or cheap gestures.” Heatherwick identifies the primary challenge facing Chinese designers as one of scale: “Every development that’s being built here is massive, to the point where Chinese developers don’t think they’re massive anymore. But, compared to Europe, they are gigantic.” He continues, stretching his arms out wide to illustrate the point (he does this often): “But as humans, we are still roughly the same size we were a thousand years ago. But developments are a thousand times bigger. The thing that the hutongs taught us is the importance of human scale. The really successful world cities are the cities where the city centers are walk-able, and I think that’s the challenge in Chinese city making – how to find that human scale.” It’s an idea Heatherwick hopes to put into practice with the creation of his biggest and most ambitious project to date: the as yet unnamed ‘Shanghai Mega Structure’ – an enor-

art » ARTS

mous city-within-a-city-style development that would likely see Shanghai’s suburban hinterlands transformed. “It’s a mixed-use development, next to an art district,” explains Heatherwick of the new project. “We have been looking at how we can blend the old and the new, so you can’t even see where one ends and one begins. There’s a river right next to the proposed site. There’s also a park – a major piece of nature. So we have been trying to use that park, almost like a stitching thread to stitch together the new development and the old development, and somehow hold it all together.” Heatherwick’s idea, based on his studio’s early design renderings, would appear to combine the density of a mega city with human scale. “We are so used to towers on podium blocks, full of retail. So we are very deliberately not having a podium, and not having towers sitting on that kind of cake layer of retail at the bottom. So many modern towers end up

looking like tombstones. We are trying to think about how something can be the complement to that,” he explains, excitedly. “I don’t think everything should try to be incredibly special. But when you have a context which has got something that you perceive as sort of ordinary, there’s space for something. If there’s a different functionality, for something to be focal, and have sort of human, soulful qualities – memorable things.” Memorable things are not always the chief concern of city planners in a developing economy, however. “I think it is a shame when design is thought of as an aesthetic treatment to sensible building,” argues Heatherwick. “I think that is a false economy. There are so many things that have gotten built that I think people will be very happy to pull down again afterwards.” It’s an interesting point – and one that is likely to prove true. But would Heatherwick really argue that aesthetic consideration should supersede economic imperatives? “It’s simple wrongheadedness if you think that these two things are somehow separate. How can you allow for this specialness in the arts, in opera houses, or musuems or galleries and then do a quick job on those other places – those other socalled regular buildings that we spend most of our lives in? Whether those are schools, or offices, or places where you need to buy the things to make your life worth living, to make it happen. Those need design too.”

Once Upon a Time…

La Maquiné goes on a Grimm adventure by Tom Lee

ow do you summon up the magic of a fairy tale in a live performance? On the stage, you have none of the high-tech wizardry of film; no green screen or CGI. Where the Fairy Godmother in the most recent Cinderella movie could simply wave her wand and, bibbidi-bobbidi-boo, transform a generic pumpkin into a carriage covered with a blinding amount of bling, you can’t really expect the same instantaneous effect in the Guangzhou Opera House. As a result, theater folk have to get a lot more creative. For La Maquiné, the solution was fairly simple: puppets – together with clever lighting, music by Ravel and ingenious set design. With these multidisciplinary tools in hand, the company has been able able to cast a spell of enchantment over audiences, particularly with award-winning The Forest of Grimm. The minds behind the sorcery are Joaquín Casanova and Elisa Ramos, who met

August 2015 / SZ / www.thatsmags.com

at university in Granada while studying fine art and bonded over their similar preoccupations. “We both were interested in using theater space as a means of research and expression for plastic arts,” says Casanova. “We wanted to bring something different and at the same time offer our knowledge to create our own language. We aim to perform pieces practically without text and using music as a helm to build a movement score on stage.” While Casanova handles directorial duties behind the scenes, Ramos flits about on stage, manipulating wolves made out of plastic sheeting, stuffed frogs, meter-tall mannequins, a giant foot and numerous other weird and wonderful creations. With these objects (and no words), she facilitates a fantasy world that is as charming as any number of computer-generated scenes. “Puppets are a plastic tool that we use precisely when something… can't be played by an actor or actress,” says Ramos. “An ac-

tor or actress can neither fly nor become magically as small as the Tom Thumb of our show.” The attraction of The Forest of Grimm for kids is obvious – what child doesn’t want to see a cheeky Little Red Riding Hood rile up the Big Bad Wolf? It is the creativity that is used to construct these illusions, along with a smidgeon of nostalgia, that is more likely to appeal to adults. Critics back in Spain certainly seem to think El Bosque de Grimm, as it is known in its native tongue, is a winner: it received the award for best family show last year at the Premios Max – Spain’s equivalent to the Tony Awards. La Maquiné has produced pieces for some of the Iberian Peninsula’s most prestigious venues, including the Teatro Real and the Gran Teatre del Liceu, as well as touring to France, Morocco, the Netherlands, Ireland and Chile. “We have begun to be known outside our country,” notes Casanova, “and that’s why we are organizing more international tours.” He and Ramos recently began casting their eyes towards Asia, wondering how their work would be received so far afield. On August 7 they’ll find out, as their most popular production comes to Guangdong. “The Forest of Grimm was conceived as a play with a universal language, and we are thrilled to see [the response] in a culture so different from ours,” enthuses Ramos. “We are fans of Chinese culture, which is characterized by its simplicity and elegance – which are elements that we try to pursue in our pieces.” Presenting classic stories with a modern twist, The Forest of Grimm has a vitality akin to the memorable fairy-tale illustrations of Gustave Doré and Arthur Rackham, filled with fun vignettes that add up to a magical event. // The Forest of Grimm is being performed July 7-9 at 8pm

Here, Inside My Mind

The consoling power of The Phantom of the Opera BY Jocelyn Richards

ver since Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical adaptation of The Phantom of the Opera opened on Broadway in 1986, it has stirred audiences with one potent message: it’s okay to be different. As the show prepares for its tour around Asia, where theatergoers are not middle-aged highbrows but fanatic teens, the century-old tale will once again acquire fresh significance. “A lot of emerging cities in China are new to large-scale Western musicals, so the audience is often a lot younger,” says Jenny Harlow, general manager of The Really Useful Company Asia Pacific, founded by Webber in 1977. “The fans tend to be very demonstrative.” At the musical’s press conference in Guangzhou this past March, Brad Little, the suave upstate New Yorker who will star as the Phantom, had to ward off flocks of young female reporters eager for an autograph. “It’s astounding how [theater] is almost like a hip thing to do here,” he says, clearly soaking up the limelight typically reserved for rock stars in his native land. “I’ve heard stories of kids who spend their own money to go see musicals and their parents aren’t happy about it. In America, parents would celebrate that.” Little, who has acted the Phantom no less than 2,200 times throughout the past 18 years, takes a flexible approach to the role, embracing day-to-day transformations of his character. The thrill of theater, in his opinion, lies in its inconsistency, which he can tap into given the Phantom’s volatile persona. “I can play him pitiful, angry, soulful, as a teacher, as a father or as a child,” Little explains. “I take the ‘let happen what happens’ kind of approach.” Historically, the role has proved hard to give up. Nearly every professional actor cast as the Phantom has continued on to perform at least hundreds, if not thousands, of times. Little has described the acting process as being “wonderfully therapeutic.” Originating as a novel by French author Gaston Leroux, The Phantom of the Opera follows the tale of Christine Daaé, a budding opera singer whose voice enchants a deformed man haunting the shadowy depths of the theater. Afraid Christine will leave him once she discovers what lies behind his mask, the Phantom kidnaps her, locking her in his chambers to the horror of Raoul, another suitor. Ashamed of his appearance and feared by all, the Phantom ultimately discovers that

even the most horrific of scars can find acceptance in the presence of love. The Phantom’s timeless message has been especially well received in Asian countries, where individuality is often discouraged and success is measured by how well one fits in. “Everybody has their closet of disabilities, insecurities, things they don’t like about themselves,” Little explains. “The way Andrew and Charles Hart wrote this show… it goes straight to the heart. It doesn’t matter what language you speak. It’s human.”

The longest-running production in Broadway history and most financially successful entertainment event to date, The Phantom of the Opera will debut at the Guangzhou Opera House on September 26, bringing a token of hope to viewers young and old.

ental health. It’s not an easy topic to broach in China, despite the fact that the nation has long acknowledged its existence. The earliest recorded form of care for the mentally ill can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty (AD 618-907), during which a monk-administrated charity facility called Bei Tian Fang took up the role of aiding the homeless, widows, orphans and those with psychoses. However, it wasn’t until 1898 that the country’s first specialized psychiatric hospital, Refuge for the Insane, was established in Guangzhou. John G. Kerr, an American medical missionary who built and ran the establishment, introduced a brand-new approach to treating mental patients. Instead of neglecting or confining them, the devout Presbyterian pledged to conduct therapies that focused on autonomy and encouraged the public to view the mentally ill as human beings. His early methods cast a revolutionary light on the problem in the then isolated Middle Kingdom. After the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, psychiatric hospitals sprang up in every province, shouldering the responsibility of maintaining social stability. The first National Mental Health Meeting was held in 1958, bringing the country’s psychiatric services to another level – community-based initiatives commenced in Beijing, Shanghai, Hunan and Sichuan, and a modernized training system for professionals was developed and put into use. Yet the 10-year Cultural Revolution and fiscal reforms begun in the late 1970s stunted the country’s mental health-care development. The former suspended community programs, while the latter forced financially dependent psychiatric hospitals and rehabilitation centers to close due to their failure to make profits in the new market economy.

The number of people suffering from mental disorders, however, did not decrease. Amid the rapid economic and social changes that unfolded in a nation stressing personal duties and communal goals, those who failed to fulfill their role became easy victims of distress and anxiety. Gradually, mental illnesses such as depression, panic disorder and schizophrenia became widespread. Prevalence of mental illness in people aged 18 or above increased from 2.7 percent in the 1950s to 5.4 percent in the 1970s. A decade later, the figure had doubled to 11.1 percent, before reaching 13.47 percent in the 1990s. By 1998, mental disorders had surpassed cardiovascular disease, respiratory conditions and cancer to become the country’s top disease burden, according to data presented by the World Health Organization. The dawn of China’s modern mental health-care policies occurred in April 2002, when the first National Mental Health Plan (2002-2010) was signed by the ministries of health, public security and civil affairs together with the China Disabled Persons’ Federation. Detailed targets were listed, including establishing an effective psychiatric system led by the government, accelerating the process of mental health legislation, improving knowledge and raising awareness of mental disorders, developing human resources for handling said disorders and enhancing existing psychiatric hospitals. The plan sparked the renowned 686 Program, implemented in 2004, which focused on creating an integrated hospital-community treatment model and assembling a qualified workforce. At the time, there were only 16,103 licensed psychiatrists and 24,793 licensed psychiatric nurses in China. To put it another way, for every 100,000 Chinese, there were only 1.24 doctors and 1.91 nurses trained to treat behavioral health.

Although 686 successfully helped to incorporate mental illness care into the country’s public health system, it was unable to adequately recruit medical personnel in the face of an ever-growing number of patients. By the end of 2009, the body of licensed psychiatrists had expanded to 19,000 – an increase of fewer than 3,000 in five years. On the other hand, 16 million people had been diagnosed with a major mental illness, meaning one psychiatrist had to handle 842 patients – a statistic that reflected the ultimate failure of the ambitious 686 Program. Many attributed the lack of success to scant laws and regulations supporting the relatively new medical field. Finally, on May 1, 2013, China’s first Mental Health Law – which took no less than 27 years to prepare and formulate – was put into effect. Calling for the respect of a patient’s will and privacy, the law was viewed as a giant step forward in addressing longstanding problems in China’s mental health-care system, such as insufficient medical facilities, low insurance coverage and a dearth of doctors and nurses. The road ahead is still awash with challenges. Currently, more than 100 million people in China suffer from mental disorders. They can seek succor from a mere 1,650 professional hospitals and organizations, primarily located in the developed southern and eastern regions of China. Ignorance about mental health problems is widespread – an estimated 70 percent of individuals with a psychiatric illness are unaware of the seriousness of their condition and refuse to seek help. The World Health Organization has warned that by 2020, the financial burden arising from mental disorders in China will constitute a quarter of the total outlay for disease treatment on the mainland. The personal expense of mental illnesses left untreated, however, will prove even greater. www.thatsmags.com / SZ / 2015 August

anonia Chiu lives far south of Shenzhen, though she meets streams of Chinese patients every day, trekking across the border to seek a kind of help not offered in their own land. “I’m not overly familiar with mental health services on the mainland, but I don’t think they’re up to international standards,” she says frankly. Chiu is a psychologist at the Wellness Psychological Consultancy Services in Hong Kong. Her first encounter with

THE

HORROR

China’s mental health-care system was in 2008, when she trained psychiatrists and counselors in Sichuan province assigned to aid victims of the earthquake. “The psychiatrists we met there had very poor qualifications,” she recalls. “None of them even knew what psychotherapy was.” According to Chiu, Chinese tend to focus more on physical health than mental well-being. Even in Hong Kong, a region long exposed to Western medical practices, the public remains hesitant to

address the topic. Chiu begins each case by assessing the physical, mental and familial background of a patient. The first consultation generally lasts about two hours, where she identifies the symptoms of the illness and how they are affecting a patient’s daily life. For children under 18, Chiu invites parents to join in the discussion and sends questionnaires to teachers in order to collect information about the child’s performance. “We seldom follow a specific protocol,” Chiu adds. “Each individual case is completely different.” Chiu can’t prescribe medicine as a psychologist in Hong Kong – none can. But she does refer patients with severe imbalances, such as depression or bipolar disorder, to local psychiatrists who offer prescriptions. Most patients need both medication and psychotherapy. “It’s hard to describe the exact timeline for a patient’s treatment, because that depends on so many factors, including how frequently they attend appointments,” Chiu explains. Some come once a week. Others quit after their first consultation. No matter how regular their attendance, Chiu’s patients struggle to talk openly about their troubles. Raised in a culture that demands 'bao xi bu bao you' – or 'only report good news' – admitting imperfections can generate intense feelings of guilt, betrayal and defeat. And on the mainland help, even for those willing to take it, may not come so easily.

Refuge for the Insane

we often turned to confinement when dealing with mental patients, and iron gratings were installed on windows and doors. No wonder outsiders would view mental hospitals as horrible. Now, it’s a different case,” says Huang Xiong, Head of the Outpatient Department at Huiai. According to him, the current methods used to combat mental illness are done with an emphasis on both symptom management and social ability restoration. Open administration is adopted here, and the iron gratings are being removed. “A mental hospital is not a prison,” he notes. “We all should remember that.” Answering the great demand for more accurate and thorough help for people suffering from disorders of the mind, Huiai moved its inpatient clinic to Guanghua Er Lu in Baiyun district in April of this year. Covering over 40,000 square meters and outfitted with 720 beds, the facility is a shelter for people with major mental illnesses. There is a rehabilitation section inside where patients learn gardening. Sweet potatoes, carrots, papayas, lemons and lettuces are planted and nurtured. Doctors visit the ward every day, asking patients queries that range from simple mathematical problems, like the sum of six plus eight, to emotionally evaluative questions about how happy they feel. Even though confinement is still enforced here, stable patients are

encouraged to come out of their rooms to take part in activities such as drawing and singing. “Entertainment contributes a lot to patients’ recovery,” says Li Rizhao, Head of Nursing. In addition to providing professional mental treatments, Huiai has also established a hotline for any mental health-related enquiries and suicide prevention. In the past eight years, the hotline, manned by 30 professionally trained consultants, has received over 70,000 phone calls. More than 1,500 of these were related to suicide. Li Jie, the vice director of Guangzhou Huiai Hospital, previously told a local newspaper that data has shown that around 60 percent of people who kill themselves have a diagnosable mental disorder. “Prevention is needed,” he said, “and that’s why we hire consultants to answer photo calls.” Uncertainty over what those who treat the mentally ill actually do has led some members of the public to see them as strange, even frightening, figures, but Wu is keen to stress that they are not some outlandish subspecies of the medical profession. “Doctors and nurses here are no different with those working in general hospitals,” she says. “They diagnose illness and prescribe medicine. The procedure is more or less the same. Only when the public realize that can the fear [of psychiatric hospitals] dissipate.” www.thatsmags.com / SZ / 2015 August

cclaimed as one of the best photographers in contemporary China, Lv Nan published a collection of shots in 2007 called The Forgotten People – The State of Chinese Psychiatric Wards. Photos presented in the book were taken during Lv’s visit to various facilities for the mentally ill all over the country from 1989 to 1990. Printed in black and white, the images of patients and the places housing them caused two main reactions in the public: they raised awareness and aroused pity; and they consolidated the general impression of mental hospitals as shabby, stagnant, desperate places. “In fact, mental hospitals now are quite different from what is generally expected,” says Ms. Wu, who is in charge of all media relations for Guangzhou Huiai Hospital, formerly known as Guangzhou Brain Hospital. “The hospital has taken many interviews, and almost all the journalists who have come have stated that it changed their fixed ideas about psychiatric hospitals.” Born from its predecessor, the Refuge for the Insane, Huiai was the first specialized mental facility in China. Now the top institution of its kind in Guangdong province, it provides professional and tailor-made therapies to the large number of people in the region with behavioral health problems. According to a survey conducted jointly by Huiai and Peking University, for every 1,000 Guangzhouers there are 15 psychoses. In the past, ‘to go to Fangcun’ was a metaphor for seeing a psychiatrist, as the hospital is located on Mingyue Lu in the Fangcun area. Today, it is mainly an outpatient center for people who suffer from mild mental illnesses or other psychological issues. “Treatment methods were limited when I was employed by the hospital 28 years ago.

The control and relief work for mental illness is not the job of just one governmental department or mental hospital. It requires a comprehensive service system that includes government organs, hospitals and, of course, the community,” says Li Jie, the vice director of Guangzhou Huiai Hospital. To date, Guangdong’s capital is home to 55,000 registered mentally ill persons, 49,000 of whom reportedly suffer from serious illnesses such as schizophrenia and manic-depressive psychosis. Clearly, a single monitoring body is insufficient for the job. Since 2007, the municipal government has paved the way for building a fullscale mental health-

care system. In addition to allocating two or three psychiatrists (with the right to prescribe medication) to each of the 12 districts, the local authorities are also funding professional social services to assist in the recovery of those with psychiatric disorders. Currently, there are 10 behavioral health centers in Guangzhou that help to stabilize and improve patients’ lives outside of psych wards. Yuexiu Mental Health Center is one of these places. Set up in May 2014 on Donghe Jie, it is responsible for the psychological wellbeing of people living within its jurisdiction. Eight professional social workers operate the complex, sharing jobs such as building profiles, rehabilitation training, counseling and followup checkups. Opening

the door to those suffering from various levels of psychosis, the facility sees daily visits from around 30 members of the community. “We do not call them ‘patients’ here. Instead, we call them ‘rehabilitants,’” says Huang Xiaoqian, a social worker at the center. Every workday, normally in the afternoon, interest classes are held for the rehabilitants. Singing, dancing and arts and crafts are among the options. The day we visit, a horticultural lesson is already underway. Eighteen men and women sit at four round tables, learning step by step how to plant a peperomia in a small pot. It looks like a regular course, quiet and organized. Some attendees even jot down key points in their notebooks. Ou Hong is in charge of planning and preparing these group activities. “The class is usually hosted by only one instructor and one supervisor,” says Ou. “No tuition fee is charged. All we want is to encourage the rehabilitants to be more engaged with others and the outside world.” A distinct characteristic of most mental patients is that they are withdrawn, afraid of interacting with people and the world. It is a crucial step for the psychologically unwell to go out of their homes and come to the center. As a result, bringing in one rehabilitant is considered a success, which only occurs after several months of home visits as well as repeated, sincere talks with the individual and his or her family. In addition to hosting daily pursuits, Yuexiu Mental Health is also where Guangzhou’s first halfway house for the formerly hospitalized is situated. “Most patients find it hard to readjust to society after being discharged from a hospital.

How can you help? We talked with several social workers to discover the best ways to help those with psychiatric disorders.

The center has urged the newspaper to release an apology or clarification, but so far there has been no reply. Widespread fear and ignorance of people with psychiatric disorders not only hinders the public from gaining a comprehensive and accurate understanding of the illness, it also impedes recruitment. Each of the eight social workers at Yuexiu Mental Health handles at least 40 cases each. They clock in overtime every day, consumed and overworked. According to data provided by the Guangzhou Municipal Public Health Bureau, however, there are over 4,000 registered individuals with behavioral health issues living within their jurisdiction. “We want to hire more qualified social workers, but the reality is few want to do a job that earns little while introducing potential risks,” Xie says with a bitter smile. Yet despite such complications, social services for rehabilitants in Guangzhou are improving every day. Around eight annual communitythemed activities are held in each district in an attempt to erase myths and prejudice while improving factual knowledge. Work therapy stations are available to assist stable patients looking to re-enter the workforce. The system of hospital referral is undergoing reform. Change will be gradual, but at least it’s underway. In a few decades, afflicted families may even dare to turn to their communities for help, transforming a once taboo subject into a constructive topic of discussion.

Chen Qujing Experience: Two years “Family cooperation plays a key role in a patient’s recovery. Some family members avoid getting involved. That in fact slows down the whole treatment process. If one of your family members is experiencing mental issues, the best way to show your support is to express your willingness to accompany them, no matter what.”

Ou Hong Experience: Six months “Mental patients are not retarded. So never treat them like they have intellectual disabilities. Meanwhile, respect their identity by inviting their input or asking for their assistance. Be sure they know they are valued, not despised or worthless.”

Huang Xiaoqian Experience: One year “Prejudice must be eliminated. Having a mental problem is like catching a cold. Everybody has the chance to experience it under today’s great social pressure. If people better understood the problem, admitting one’s mental illness wouldn’t be so humiliating. Help would then be timelier.” www.thatsmags.com / SZ / 2015 August

The halfway house is like a buffer zone to help them prepare, both mentally and physically,” says Xie Qianying, deputy project manager of the center. Currently, there are eight rehabilitants living in the halfway house. They take up hobbies during the day and receive tailored training at night to restore basic self-care abilities impacted by their disorder. “Living together with people suffering from a similar illness is actually less stressful. We encourage them to focus on helping each other, as peer assistance plays a crucial role during one’s recovery period,” says Xie. Up to 80 percent of the center’s regulars are suffering from schizophrenia, an illness associated with aggressiveness in most people’s minds. Surprisingly, the three staff we talk to, Huang, Ou and Xie, all point out that the percentage of mental patients who have attacked others is relatively low. According to Ning Yuping, Director of Huiai Hospital, only 5 to 10 percent of schizophrenics have the impulse to commit violent acts. “The media sometimes exaggerates the image of mental patients, depicting them as too dangerous to be around,” Ou says. In May this year, Guangzhou Metro Daily, the second most circulated newspaper in Guangzhou, published a news story about a man suspected of suffering from schizophrenia assaulting a young boy. “The article indirectly implies that all schizophrenic patients are dangerous and that they would assault others without reason,” says Ou. “That kind of rhetoric unfairly stigmatizes this group of people. Help for the mentally ill calls for integration, not marginalization. Why not have more positive reports?”

Experience: 14 years “When you’re told someone is unhappy, you may tell him or her not to feel upset or simply ask what is causing the sadness. These are the wrong approaches, as the former deprives one of the right to be unhappy and the latter demands an answer. The same goes with mental patients. When they talk to you, never rush to analyze their problems. Be a patient listener. If possible, join in laidback activities they enjoy before digging into their depression.”

Wang Yi is considered the most successful case at her rehabilitation center. When we meet her in a potting class at the clinic, she is busy helping other patients fit houseplants into ceramic pots. Wang is a stay-at-home mother. Her husband, now retired, was the breadwinner, doing odd jobs to support the family. As a result, Wang felt neglected. “I was under great pressure, raising two kids with little money, and my mother-in-law was picky. I had a really intense relationship with her,” says Wang. According to her neighbors, Wang used to be animated and talkative. Things started to change in 2000. She had less and less interest in going out and became alienated from her friends and family. Then she began seeing things. “I saw a nicely decorated Christmas tree in front of my house,” she recalls. “It was glamorous. I had never seen such a beautiful tree in my life.” After two years of enduring illusions, Wang was sent to see a doctor, after the visions started seriously encroaching on her daily life. Diagnosed with schizophrenia, she was hospitalized for three months with medication before being discharged. “I felt very inferior,” she says. “I was a shame to my family.” In 2011, Wang returned to psychiatric care after she refused to take her pills. This time, she was confined for two months. “After leaving the hospital, I didn’t talk to anyone. I couldn’t laugh or smile. I was not able to do even the lightest housework. I was useless.” Wang refused to go out of the house, afraid of being the talk of the neighborhood. A silver lining appeared in June 2013 when Ms. Chen, a social worker who focuses on helping mental patients, came to Wang’s house. Wang’s husband suggested sending Wang to the rehabilitation center, which she frequently visits now. “Ms. Chen is such a great help to me. She is willing to listen to my grievances and give me advice. And I was encouraged to sing karaoke, practice tai chi and learn potting. Gradually, I started to talk again,” says Wang. Still under medication, Wang remarks that she often feels drained and groggy. Yet that does not hinder her path towards recovery. “I am now capable of handling light house chores. And I know my family actually cares about me.” She has become a volunteer in the neighborhood, helping to mend tattered clothes. “She has deft hands. Why not give her a try?” says Ms. Chen, beaming with pride at Wang’s achievements.

In trim and tidy attire with a pair of thickframed glasses, Xiaohao looks like a typical college student. Most people would even say he leaves a favorable impression, speaking gently and politely. They would never imagine for a moment that Xiaohao suffers from bipolar disorder. “I went to study at a college in Qingyuan city five years ago,” he explains. “I totally didn’t adapt to the life there. My mom wasn’t around to take care of me. My after-school life was a mess.” Chaos didn’t only characterize his extracurricular time. Anxiety swept over Xiaohao when he discovered he had no way to improve his poor marks on his English exams. “I felt too nervous to attend classes. I thought my peers were mocking me, that they despised me.” Insomnia followed. Xiaohao tossed and turned until morning, unable to function during the day. The succession of odd behaviors caught the attention of the school. With his mother’s consent, he was allowed to take a one-year leave from the university. After returning to Guangzhou, Xiaohao was hospitalized. When he was first admitted to a treatment center earlier this year, Xiaohao had difficulty respecting boundaries. He asked questions loudly, numb to the consequences of his words and unconcerned with the privacy of others. “He acted like a junior-high student at the beginning, talking in a very childish way,” says Joy Huang, the social worker assigned to Xiaohao’s case. Today, he is in a stable condition, and Xiaohao’s doctor is considering reducing his medication. While that is certainly good news, the road ahead still bristles with difficulties. One of them includes mending the relationship with his father, who avoids Huang when he visits home. “My father calls me retarded when I cannot finish what he asks me to do,” Xiaohao murmurs. Such remarks seem to have taken a toll on Xiaohao – he shrinks in the face of obstacles outside of his control. “I just don’t think I can do it. I really can’t. Don’t make me do it!” Xiaohao turns his head, staring firmly into the distance. In spite of the apparent mental distress Xiaohao still feels, he has made a plan for himself. “I want to be a waiter in the future,” he asserts. A clear career path in mind can make all the difference towards a fresh start, according to Huang, and Xiaohao has already begun taking the first steps.

Zhang Tingting

female / 29

Tingting was a dancer in a PLA arts troupe for years, known nationwide for flawless twirls requiring the utmost coordination. And then, just when most of her peers were approaching the height of their careers, her mid-20s saw her spinning out of control. It started with sporadic episodes; socially awkward quips that illuminated a new lack of perception. Those closest to her began to notice, gradually, that something was off. But they agreed to let it go – until one afternoon, when Tingting was spotted sprinting from the apartment complex, half-dressed, in an inexplicable state of distress. After the incident, Tingting was sent to a treatment facility in her hometown of Nanjing. Her parents visited frequently, bringing fresh fruit and conversation, wondering all the while if their talented daughter had simply succumbed to the excessive pressure. Despite a history of mental illness on Tingting’s mother’s side, her parents convinced themselves this was a one-time thing. Within a few months, Tingting was released and went about performing as usual. Everything seemed fine – until she forgot to take her medication one day, and then the next. “I started to see a pattern of one breakdown per year,” Tingting’s father recalls. “But then that number became two, three… now she needs in-house treatment every three or four months.” Her father elucidates the challenges of exerting parental discipline on a child suffering from schizophrenia. There’s a natural inclination to be skeptical of his or her words, especially when a story sounds particularly fantastic. In Tingting’s case, it was deciding whether or not to believe the romantic tale of her Kyrgyzstani boyfriend – a tangled account of truths and exaggerations. The man, let’s call him Aybek, did exist. He even met both of her parents. Yet Tingting’s exchanges with him over WeChat came across as one-sided and illogical. She would send dozens of messages before receiving a response, which frequently came in the form of an excuse. “I’m too busy to meet,” Aybek would say. Occasionally, he did send a tender message or two – especially after he moved back to Kyrgyzstan and started borrowing money for his business. “She sold her car without telling us and wired RMB50,000 to him the next week,” Tingting’s mother recounts, exasperated. “We tried to watch her every move, but you have to respect a child’s freedom… especially her love life. He seemed like such a gentleman.” After lending money to her boyfriend and refurbishing their apartment with pristine appliances, Tingting announced she was engaged. Aybek, however, had left Guangzhou months previously and was unaware he had proposed, much less purchased the diamond that now sparkled on Tingting’s finger. Over the next few weeks, Tingting consumed herself with wedding plans, shedding pounds for a photo shoot she’d scheduled after Aybek’s expected return. But Aybek never came. At 45 kilograms, Tingting was admitted to Nanjing Ankang Hospital in December 2014 for the third time. Thinking back, Tingting’s father regrets his passivity, though he claims he tried, insistently, to alert Aybek to his daughter’s condition – if only to protect her from heartbreak. Now back out in the world, Tingting has been living stably for three months, excelling as a real estate agent in Zhujiang Xincheng. The past, dark as it may be, has bound her closer to her parents, with the kind of unshakable love that only haunting illness can reveal.

THE SCHOOLSYNDROME THE SCHOOL SYNDROME Is enough being done to support students’ mental well-being?

BY EMMA GUO AND TRISTIN ZHANG

cover story

In just one week in October last year, Shenzhen saw a 10-yearold, a 14-year-old and a 17-yearold kill themselves by jumping from tall buildings

he psychological well-being of juveniles has become a muchdiscussed topic in both the East and West over the past few years, especially in the wake of several news stories about suicidal and murderous students. In just one week in October last year, Shenzhen saw a 10-year-old, a 14-yearold and a 17-year-old kill themselves by jumping from tall buildings. Relations with schoolmates and stress engendered by their studies were listed as the main reasons behind the tragic actions. China’s higher education institutions have also been overshadowed by several reports of bloodshed on university campuses, causing public concern about students’ mental health to skyrocket. One of the more well-reported cases was that of Fudan University postgraduate Huang Yang. On April 16, 2013, the 28-year-old died in Shanghai after drinking water laced with the toxic chemical N-Nitrosodimethylamine. His roommate, Lin Senhao, was arrested under suspicion of poisoning Huang. Reports claimed “minor grudges” as the cause. Only three days later in Nanjing, two college students started a fight over a trivial matter, ending in one stabbing the other to death. Looking purely at the cold, hard figures, the numbers are shocking. Guangzhou Juveniles Psychological Assistance Center, a government-owned agency run by Guangzhou University, conducted research on a sample of 9,498 students from 35 stateowned primary and secondary schools. The

AUGUST 2015 / SZ / www.thatsmags.com

ensuing report, released earlier this year, found that 41 percent had mild to moderate mental health issues, with anxiety over school performance being the top cause of mental problems. In 2012, a study by the Shenzhen Quancheng Institute of Mental Health surveyed over 1,000 pupils and found 70 percent were under severe academic pressure, while another 15 percent confessed to suffering from psychiatric issues. Part of the problem is that education about psychological disorders in China has been, and continues to be, minimal. Wang Shasha, a 24-year-old Shenzhen local, says that she wasn’t really taught about mental health until middle school – and those weekly lessons were hardly informative. “Although it was called a ‘mental health class,’ I don’t think many aspects of mental health were involved in the class,” she says. “Basically, we were asked to read lots of motivational stories from Chicken Soup for the Soul and then share with classmates what we learned from those stories.” Sessions would generally conclude with the teacher stressing the importance of keeping a positive attitude towards life. “Telling us to be positive seemed to be a common thing for teachers. Somehow that would make you feel like it was your problem if you had other feelings or emotions besides being happy and positive,” Wang recalls. A current 14-year-old from Yitian Middle School, who wished to remain anonymous, indicates little has changed since Wang’s schooldays. She too has mental health

class once a week, and teachers still rely on having students read Chicken Soup for the Soul. Perhaps a step in the right direction, however, is that students are encouraged to have private conversations with teachers when they have problems or feel pressure from school. According to students from Qiaole Elementary School in Tianhe District, Guangzhou, they have one weekly mental health class scheduled, which is often scrapped in favor of additional Chinese, mathematics or English lessons. It’s an approach supported by the children’s parents. The general sentiment seems to be that mental health is a small issue, while exam scores determine a person’s future. That’s not to say that action isn’t being taken in some quarters. Shenzhen Quancheng Institute of Mental Health opened the first call-in center for teenagers with mental health issues in the city on January 20, 2013. Today, with a team of 70 experienced psychologists, the 24-hour hotline provides Shenzhen’s youth with easy-to-access, professional psychiatric counseling. “When kids have problems, sometimes they don’t have opportunities to speak out, and they have no idea where they can ask for help,” says Ye Weize, the institute’s director. Guangzhou Juveniles Psychological Assistance Center offers all kinds of counseling services to young people, be it to do with academic pressures or interpersonal relationships. According to the group, they’ve witnessed a rising consciousness about student mental health in recent years, with an increasing number of students and parents willing to come and talk about the troubles they are facing. Overall, there’s still clearly much progress to be made. Schools should exist to educate – not only in academic terms, but in understanding what a healthy mental perspective is and is not. Prevention through awareness will lessen the need for more drastic intervention later in life. That, however, takes more than a Chicken Soup story once a week.

A more casual way to learn by Emma Guo

taught me dance movements.

What are the attractive aspects of skills exchanges? Li: You can always meet people with unexpected skills. I knew a girl my age who could read palms. Also, you can tap into more of your potential, since you’re getting new information all the time. Liu: The relationships between people. Before it was difficult for me to start a conversation or make a conversation last longer than 10 minutes when meeting new people. When I’m doing a skills exchange, I find it’s easier for me to communicate with people. I don’t feel nervous and awkward. There is always something I can think of to discuss with them. This helps me at work, too. Rosie: It’s cost effective. I can learn different stuff without paying a cent. Also, no responsibilities are attached, you can quit whenever you want.

hinking of trying to cook your favorite Sichuan dishes? Want to learn a song on the guitar for a friend’s surprise birthday? Interested in mastering the daily phrases of a foreign language but don’t feel like paying high tuition fees? We all have the desire to learn new abilities, but perhaps our desire isn’t strong enough to make us sign up for classes. Now, many in China have come up with a casual, fun way to learn: skills exchange. Type ‘skills exchange’ or ‘技能交换’ (ji neng jiao huan) into Baidu and over several hundred results pop up. Douban, a popular Chinese social networking site, details skills exchange forums within each mainland city – altogether, the site lists 40 groups in China with about 500 members each. Categories include languages, cooking, computers, music and arts. Here’s how the basic concept works: barterers will list their location and what expertise they can offer, as well as what accomplishments they hope to gain, on a skills exchange site. Then, they can look for someone to trade with, narrowing results by talent, city and district. For example: Photoshop, Shenzhen, Luohu. Cost effective, social, great for networking – all these aspects make skills

exchanges look like a win-win thing. That’s PRD interviewed three people to find out how effective these arrangements really are: Li Jialing, a customer service officer of a logistics company, Liu Xiaowei, an IT engineer, and Rosie Lu, a college student majoring in the keyboard.

Why did you start participating in skills exchanges? Li: I like taking photographs, but I’m not a professional. My parents gave me a camera for my birthday. However, I didn’t want to pay over RMB1,000 for a photography course. I searched on a skills exchange website to see if someone could teach me about taking photos. In return, I offered to teach guitar playing and some simple cooking. Liu: I’ve known about skills exchange since college. I liked learning different languages online, but it was difficult if I couldn’t practice with people in real life. I started to meet people who could teach me languages while [I taught them about] computers and sports. Rosie: I have some friends at school who are dancers. They were interested in playing the piano. When we met, they always asked me to teach them how play some songs they liked. Later, we started a tradition of me teaching them to play songs while they

What are the downsides? Li: Sometimes you will meet people with ulterior motives. Once a guy contacted me and said he could teach me photography. I asked what I could teach him in return. He said he just needed some company. After that, I stopped doing skills exchanges with men. Liu: We are not professional teachers. Sometimes I find it difficult for me to both explain some points and receive information from my partner.

Rosie: Even though it’s also a positive, it can be a challenge that no responsibilities are attached. You know you are friends, and you can quit any time. Your partner could do that as well – just quit on you anytime. If I were planning to learn something seriously, I would rather go take some courses. What do you think makes a good tutor/ learner? Li: Honesty is important for both parties. You need to tell people what you are really good at and your level in order to not waste time. Always be responsible. Just because you are not a paid tutor doesn’t mean you don’t need to prepare beforehand. Liu: Prepare before your session and don’t be late. I hate when I have to sit in a cafe waiting for someone for an hour. If you need to work overtime or something comes up and you can’t show up on time, inform your partner immediately. Rosie: As a tutor you need to have great patience. Things you teach might be easy for you, but to others it’s a completely new thing. Any suggestions for people who want to start exchanging skills? Li: Take it seriously. Even though skills exchanges are less intense than taking a course, people still want to learn something

useful. Figure out what skills you can offer and want to receive. Write down a list of what you want and show it to your partner. This makes clear to them what your needs are. Always be careful if you are doing a skills exchange with strangers. Liu: Don’t try to learn too much information at one time. It’s better to learn step by step. When you feel there’s too much information to process, talk to your partner and

work out another plan. Rosie: For those transitioning to a new place, like moving to college or another city, it’s a great way to meet new friends and learn something.

Stockings, surgery or lasers?

Treating varicose and spider veins by Dr. Lee Chae Young

conditions that cause increased pressure in the abdomen, such as tumors, constipation and externally worn garments – like girdles – heighten the risk.

What is the difference between spider and varicose veins? Varicose veins are large, raised, swollen blood vessels that twist and turn. They usually develop in the legs and can be seen through the skin. Spider veins are smaller red, purple and blue vessels that also twist and turn. Spider veins are easily visible through the skin as well. They are typically visible on the legs and face.

What activities increase the risk of developing varicose veins? A number of factors predispose a person. These include heredity, occupations that involve lots of standing (such as nurses, hair stylists, teachers and factory workers), obesity and hormonal influences. Hormonal influences can range from pregnancy, puberty and menopause to the use of birth control pills or postmenopausal hormonal replacement. Also,

August 2015 / SZ / www.thatsmags.com

Do only elderly or pregnant people get varicose veins? No, but varicose veins and spider veins develop more often in women than in men. Both kinds of veins increase in frequency with age. An estimated 30 to 60 percent of adults have varicose veins or spider veins.

How can varicose veins be treated? There are seven major forms of treatment for varicose and spider veins: • Support stockings – the most conservative approach is to wear properly fitting support hose, especially when the veins cause painful or uncomfortable symptoms. These stockings can generally be purchased at any surgical supply store and at some pharmacies. They come in below-the-knee, abovethe-knee and pantyhose styles. • Lifestyle changes – good skin hygiene, weight loss (if needed) and walking can help treat varicose and spider veins. • Sclerotherapy – this procedure has been available since the 1930s. In it, doctors inject a highly concentrated saline solution or a specially made detergent directly into

the vein, causing the vein to disappear gradually over three to six weeks. The procedure is simple, relatively inexpensive and can be performed in an outpatient setting. • Surgery – surgical techniques to treat varicose veins include ligation (tying off of a vein) and stripping (removing a long segment of vein). Another procedure, ambulatory phlebectomy, allows for the removal of large surface veins through very small incisions that do not need stitches. Surgery may be performed using local, spinal, or general anesthesia. Most patients return home the same day as the procedure. Surgery is generally used to treat large varicose veins. • Endovenous laser treatment – a procedure in which a small laser fiber is inserted into the vein. The laser delivers pulses of laser light inside the vein, causing the vein to collapse. The procedure is done at an outpatient facility under local anesthesia. • Radiofrequency occlusion – a doctor inserts a small catheter into the vein. The catheter delivers radiofrequency energy to the vein wall, causing it to heat, collapse and seal shut. The procedure is generally done in an outpatient or office setting, sometimes under local anesthesia. // Dr. Lee Chae Young works at Vista-SK International Medical Center, 4/F, Block 4C, Nanshan Software Industry Base,

Are You Smarter than a Fifth Grader?

When math problems go viral By Lena Gidwani

t wasn’t rocket science. It wasn’t even science to begin with. But it still gave the education world its own viral moment. In April 2015, Hello Singapore TV host Kenneth Kong posted a picture of a math problem on Facebook in an attempt to help his child, a fifth-grade student at a local primary school in Singapore. Both he and his wife couldn’t solve it. It quickly made the rounds of the Internet, and soon everyone and their mother were grappling with the question: when is Cheryl’s birthday? Twitter got wind of it, as did Reddit, and within days the top rags and television stations in the island nation had their viewers twisted in knots over how to solve this mathematical mystery. The query, while maddening at first glance, is actually a test of logical reasoning skills: Albert and Bernard, who apparently just met the uber-tricky and elusive Cheryl, are hell-bent on finding out their new friend’s birthdate from a possible list of 10 choices. Amidst the hoo-ha, people began to question the suitability of this brainteaser for a fifth grader. Though it later transpired that the question was actually lifted from a high-school math Olympiad, meant to sift out the better students, many continued to scratch their heads over how feasible it was for a kid to work out the answer. Turns out, completely. According to the latest research and results from the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) – an exam designed to measure the reading, math and science proficiency of 15-year-olds globally – Singapore's math competency outperforms that of the rest of the world. Korea came a close second and China, depending on region, came fourth, fifth and sixth. And yes, countries in Europe and the Americas fell lower on the scale.

In another test of numeric abilities, the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study has ranked Singapore at or near the top every time it has taken place since 1995, with China following closely behind. Again, most occidental countries were not rated as highly. So what is it about the Eastern method of teaching math that ensures Singaporeans, Chinese and Koreans outperform their counterparts elsewhere? Is it the fact that it focuses on mastery over rote memorization, using a layered approach aimed at facilitating comprehension that leads to conceptual understanding rather than numerical regurgitation? Or is it simply because parents have a more ‘tiger’ approach to studies? Whatever the reason, Asian students are already The problem posted on Facebook on their way to becomby Kenneth Kong ing global math elites,

and there’s nothing like a bit of imitation to verify the flattery. Some parts of the US have already started to emulate Singapore’s math curriculum, importing textbooks and training teachers in a different approach. Britain went a step further: in 2014, the country dispatched Education Minister Elizabeth Truss to Shanghai to see what the fuss was all about, and to recruit dozens of Chinese teachers to its own schools. These “weapons of math instruction,” as China’s Global Times called them, are in high demand. Even international schools in China are seeing the wisdom. ISA International School Guangzhou advertises that it teaches Asian-style math using the Chinese National Curriculum and a combination of local and foreign educators. Oh, and if you’re wondering when Cheryl’s birthday is, it’s July 16. But that leads us to another burning question: which problem-solver will Cheryl choose, Albert or Bernard? Perhaps we’ll need some Asianstyle chemistry to figure it out. www.thatsmags.com / SZ / August 2015

Off the Vine

Beringer California White Zinfandel

retty in pink, white zin is a dangerous tipple. Low in calories, low in alcohol and with an accommodatingly sweet taste, it’s easy to throw back glass after glass and think little of it – until you find yourself hogging the stage at open-mic night with your rendition of ‘I’m Too Sexy.’ Yes, this blush beauty is a fun drink, one beloved by light-hearted young girls on a night out (or in) simply because of its color. Made from the black-skinned zinfandel grape, it is refreshing and fruity, summery and sassy. But, dear reader, we must warn you: it is not a bottle to order if you

wish to show off your vino pedigree. Generally lacking in complexity and snootily dismissed as a quaffing wine, the kindest thing said about white zin is that it’s an ‘entry level’ option. We don’t recommend you order it if there is a self-proclaimed connoisseur in your vicinity – unless you wish to receive a haughty lecture, you philistine, you! No, this is not a wine to pick out at dinner. But it is a wine to buy and take to the beach or the pool – somewhere that you can sinfully enjoy gulping back a glass or two and not give two figs for society’s crushing dictates. And you won’t be alone either: white zinfandel is a

very popular wine, particularly in America. Established in 1876, Beringer Vineyards is the oldest continuously operating winery in the Napa Valley. Though it is better known for cabernets and chardonnays, it also makes a cracking white zin. Strawberry, honeysuckle, pear – the flavors the wine exudes or the names of the friends you’ll be drinking it with? You decide! // Beringer California White Zinfandel can be purchased from ASC Fine Wines, Unit 1318,

13/F, China Nuclear Bldg, Shennan Zhong Lu, Shenzhen 深圳市深南中路中核大厦1318单元 (0755-8398 5514, www.asc-wines.com)

Six of the best… street snacks

Liangpi 凉皮

Beef entrails 牛杂

Steamed buns 包子

Don’t be fooled by its eerie translation, ‘cold skin’ - liangpi is a refreshing noodle dish made of wheat or rice flour and topped with peanuts, gluten, cucumber strips and plenty of hot sauce. Originally from Shaanxi province, we adore liangpi down south (sold outside Tee Mall in Tianhe) as an appetizing pickme-up on a hot summer’s day.

Bear with us – beef entrails are a Cantonese tradition and one of the most commonly found street foods in the PRD (aside from stinky tofu, which we still haven’t learned to like). Brewed in a savory broth and served with boiled radishes, this grub is ideal for adventurous eaters. Find niu za on older streets in Yuexiu, Haizhu and Liwan.

The least elegant of the roadside snacks somehow snuck into Canton’s classy dim sum menu. We know they’re too ‘putong’ for some, but we adore the nai huang (奶黄) flavor found exclusively in Guangzhou. Bursting with creamy custard, these steamed treats go perfectly with black coffee in the morning. Find them at any streetside baozi shop.

Hong Kong fish balls 香港鱼丸

Midnight BBQ 烧烤

Jianbing 煎饼果子

Statistics say Kongers devour 1.3 billion of these balls annually, or 196 per person! The deep-fried spheres of fish are dipped in mouth-watering flavors (like curry) and served on a bamboo stick. They’re sold outside in Mong Kok, HK, and are usually featured with other seafood goodies, such as spicy squid.

Encompassing everything from seasoned Xinjiang lamb to charred mantou and grilled fish, this is the broadest category of all, and for good reason. Emerging after dark, portable BBQ stands offer partygoers a perfect ‘xiaoye’ (midnight snack). Head to Xiaobei for delectable seared fish or search below any overpass for more traditional skewers.

King of take-away delicacies, the jianbing is a unanimous favorite among expats and locals alike, made by spreading crepe-like batter over a hot skillet. This is then brushed with egg and filled with a deep-fried wonton wrapper, lettuce and hot sauce. Find these near the west gate of South China Normal University or outside the nearby metro stop, exit E.

Das Ist Gut

Bavarian cream By Christine Gilbert

nstead of ice cream, make this rich dish for your guests this summer. With a prep time of only 30 minutes, this cooling alternative will wow with its intense vanilla flavor, fluffy consistency and super smooth texture. Don your lederhosen, bust out the tuba and say “Guten Tag” to this season’s simple yet decadent dessert. Ingredients: 4 gelatin leaves 100g sugar 1 vanilla bean 250ml milk 250ml cream 4 eggs Ice cubes

Preparation: 1) Put the gelatin leaves in a bowl filled with warm water and soak until soft. 2) Separate the egg yolks from the egg whites. Discard the egg whites. 3) Put the egg yolks in a stainless steel bowl. Add the sugar to the yolk. Beat until foamy.

4) Whip the cream in a separate cup until stiff and set aside. 5) Cut open the vanilla bean lengthwise and grate the vanilla pith into the milk. Afterwards throw the empty vanilla bean into the milk. Slightly heat, but do not cook the milk. 6) Remove the vanilla bean. Pour the milk into the bowl of egg yolks and sugar. Place the bowl in a hot water bath. Use a hand mixer to beat the milk on the lowest level until it turns into mousse. 7) Squeeze the gelatin leaves and dissolve in the hot mousse. 8) Place the bowl of mousse in a water bath with cold water and ice cubes. Stir until it begins to gelatinize. 9) Gently fold the whipped cream into the cooled mass. 10) Place the mousse in several small glasses. Garnish with fresh fruits and serve. // This recipe is courtesy of Executive Chef Mario Tassotti from Brotzeit, L1C-055B, 1/F, Coco Park, Fuhua San Lu, Futian District 福田区福华三路星河Coco Park一楼 L1C-055B (8359 2080)

Taco Loco

University tapas by Christine Gilbert

aco Loco fulfills on every element of a taco bar: cheap food and drinks, a hole-in-the-wall location near Shenzhen University’s west gate and funky wall murals. Kygo remixes play in the background as we ask co-owner Kim Lee about the restaurant’s concept. He tells us Taco Loco is geared towards students and foreigners looking to spend no more than RMB100 for a night out. Lee achieves this by making all food items on the menu RMB20 or less. The chicken taco (RMB15), full of marinated cabbage and chicken, has a zesty tomato, onion and cilantro mix inside. Chili, garlic and the house-made sauce finish off the soft-shelled morsel. All ingredients taste fresh and well cooked. but we would hold the house sauce next time and ask for the in-house made salsa instead. Other tacos include the beef, fish and pork (RMB15-20), which are just as good as the poultry. Patrons can ask for corn tortillas

August 2015 / SZ / www.thatsmags.com

if they prefer more traditional-style tacos, too. Lee tells us it usually takes three tacos to fill up a guy and two to fill up most women. However, we recommend ordering two tacos and rounding the meal out with other dishes – all accompanied by a frozen margarita (RMB25) or a 3-liter tower of Tsingtao (RMB70) if among friends. The cheeseballs (RMB20/5 pieces) taste buttery and the gooey cheese gets even more flavorful with each satisfying crunch. The pastels (RMB15/3pcs), essentially mini empanadas, and the fried cassava (RMB20) are worth ordering as well. During the meal, take a second to look at the Dia de los Muertos wall art. One side of the restaurant boasts lipsticked skeletons with other colorful adornments and a tombstone with ‘AMS’ on it – a subtle homage to the coffee shop formerly inhabiting the space. The other wall is like the Day of the Dead in space: a mulit-colored sun at-

tacks skeletons in clouds while another bag of bones smokes a cigarette, watching the whole thing. The artist owner, Jack, painted all of these himself to the chagrin of Lee, but we like them. It gives the place character. Patrons can enjoy Taco Loco Tuesday to Sunday from 4pm until 12am, while Friday and Saturday nights the venue stays open until 2am. Look for the fluorescent tube-lit sidewalk off the main road. There’ll be some cheeseballs waiting for you. Price: Approx. RMB50-70 for food and drinks Who’s going: Students, teachers, skeletons who need to pack on some meat Good for: Shekou pre-gaming, reliving your college days

Nomasté vs. Honey Crème

Alternative dessert faceoff by Christine Gilbert

iven the rise of alternative dessert offerings in Shenzhen, this month we embarked on a dessert faceoff between two of the most unique options: vegan ice cream and food truck soft serve. In one corner, we have the spunky Canadian proprietor of Nomasté, Stephanie Morris, dolling out her “nice cream” with an almond milk and coconut cream base. In the other corner, weighing in with pure New Zealand honey comb and organic cotton candy toppings, is Korean-Taiwanese brand Honey Crème. Ding!

Nomasté

Morris is based out of Shekou, where she makes her goodies in a standard-size apartment kitchen, then freezes them in her modest industrial-size freezer. She sells all of her nice creams for RMB20 a package or RMB50 for three. We sample a trio of top choices. Coconut maca goes down rich and smooth with a hint of maca’s distinctive sweetness. Kiwi lychee is similar to a fruit sorbet, but with a creamier texture and a refreshing burst of lychee flavor. The pina colada is our choice for the summer though, with no alcohol and a full pineapple taste. A perfect poolside summer treat. Nomasté has no added sugar, uses local fruits and sources all coconut cream and milk from Thailand. Also, Morris makes her own almond milk and packages everything herself, ensuring the highest quality standards.

// For delivery call 136 4140 6225 or order on Nogogo.

Honey Crème

Honey Crème’s friendly staff promptly throws down with two recommended flavors, rock salt and dark chocolate (RMB27) and honey comb (RMB30). The ice cream comes in colored sugar cones with about triple the amount of standard-issue ice cream. The consistency mirrors that of McDonald’s soft serve, though both Honey Crème flavors taste better and more distinctive than the fast food chain’s options. However, given the massive amount of ice cream and small cones, one of ours eventually melts and falls to the floor, about a third of the way into consumption. We highly recommend sharing or getting the ice cream in a cup to avoid this issue. Though the brand is from Singapore, Honey Crème sources all of their honey from New Zealand. While the quality of the honey rings sweet and pure, it tastes awkward with the processed sugar of the ice cream itself.

// J40, L1/F (by Simply Life), Coco Park, Fuhua San Lu, Futian District 福田区福华三路Coco Park L1层J40 (近星美乐)

Verdict: In terms of overall taste, ease of eating and overall quality of ingredients, we say the winner is: Nomasté!

House Cafe

Back to the future by Sky Gidge

f you speed down the streets of Qianhai in your DeLorean five years from now into the future, you will see skyscrapers, shiny cars and a coffee shop called House Cafe. Today, ill-paved roads and construction barriers make up Qianhai, although the coffee shop is already there, tucked into the

August 2015 / SZ / www.thatsmags.com

ground floor of the Qianhai Innovation Hub. This cluster of white, round-edged buildings is the beginning of an area heralded by many as the future of Shenzhen. House Cafe captures the district’s tech savvy, innovative zeitgeist – along with the feeling of a pricey new house, nearing the end of construction. Foot traffic is next to nil and taxis impossible to find, though there are free electric cabs. House Cafe sources its beans from The Coffee Academics, a Hong Kong-based chain known for in-house roasting and custom blends. Cappuccinos (RMB28) and lattes (RMB30) are made with the sweet TCA house or rich Hong Kong blends, although cheap milk takes away from the otherwise solid brews. The coffeehouse’s rainbow of cakes and muffins are also reasonably priced, with slices of banana tiramisu for RMB24 and chocolate chip muffins for RMB15. But it’s not about the food, or even the coffee. The shop’s flanked by a small “entrepreneurship college” on the left, with office space set aside for startups (many from Hong Kong) on the right. House Cafe is used to pitch to investors, as well as other cus-

tomers who wander in. A growing bunch of products on the large side bookshelf include 3-D printed sculptures and gadgets anyone can poke, prod or buy, all designed and built by people only a wall away. We were planning on testing out the knee-high dancing robot, but two dozen customers – some with notebooks and laptops – filed in to listen to a talk on targeted advertising by a Google alum. House Cafe brings in speakers every month to lecture about startup-related topics. As for the venue itself, location is House Cafe’s weakness now, but will be its greatest asset later; a good destination if you want to see Qianhai. Eat something before you go though. At the moment there are only plans for a full menu – in the future. How much: Approx. RMB50 for a coffee and snack, lecture free with reservation Who’s going: Urban explorers, makers, investors Good for: Hong Kong blends, robots, business lectures // 1/F, Bldg A, Qianhai Shenzhen-Hong Kong Youth Innovation

On the Grill

David Ball

Super Chef World by Christine Gilbert

n his innermost heart, David Ball is secretly a gamer: he’s gunning for the next level. That’s why the Aussie graduated high school at 15, worked for Gordon Ramsay at 25 and later, after cooking in prestigious Hong Kong and Beijing kitchens, became the executive chef of The Langham, Shenzhen. The stalwart Sydney native sits in the dining room of Duke’s with his toque blanche firmly on his head and tells us in a quiet, controlled yet confident voice that his favorite foods are – complicated. Growing up, Ball cooked for his family from an early age. “It was more of a love than a job,” he says of the days preparing cakes, pastries and other Western food for his parents. Acting on that love as soon as he completed high school, David joined Spot-

less Catering Sydney’s chef apprenticeship program. For six years, he rotated between different hotels and restaurants with the company, picking up enough chops in the kitchen for the InterContinental Sydney to hire him at 19 as the commis chef for their fine-dining restaurants. In the following years, Ball worked at a variety of five-star eateries in Australia’s largest city, including the Four Seasons Sydney, where he gained experience in menu planning and quality control while bettering his culinary skills. But he wanted more. He wanted that next level. He wanted King Koopa himself, Gordon Ramsay. Aged 25, the intensely motivated Ball moved to London to work at Pétrus, a Ramsay operation that opened with Marcus

Wareing running the kitchen. Though he talks about his Pétrus days as a junior sous chef fondly, Ball admits that “Marcus is more crazy than Gordon.” Ball and the rest of the team would arrive at 7am and not leave until midnight or 1am every day. “[It was] very intense, four or five guys in a section. If it wasn’t perfect, Marcus would come by and throw it on the floor,” Ball says. From his short time at Pétrus (only a six-month working holiday), David learned the kitchen roles of saucier, poissonier and entremetier, perfecting his preparations of sauces, fish and vegetables respectively. He traveled from London to Asia, ending up at the InterContinental Hong Kong a year later as their chef de cuisine, before moving to the Hilton Beijing as an executive chef. Ball’s ambitious nature did not allow him to settle, however, and he decided to take an offer at The Langham, Shenzhen. Of his one and a half years here so far, David says, “[I’ve] really been pushing the boundaries in food and beverage.” Flying in organic produce from Beijing once or twice a week, importing all his cold cuts from Italy and cultivating the onsite rooftop herb garden he started, the changes David has incorporated at The Langham, Shenzhen have enabled him to build his own style – hallmarks of which are painstaking preparation and complex dishes. One of his favorites is the amarettopoached duck liver. The duck is slow cooked in a vacuum bag, then pan-fried lightly until it is tender enough to melt with just one bite. For Ball, there’s been no cheat codes, no level hopping. He’s achieved ‘chief’ status in his 24-year career from diligence and hard work. When asked to sum up what he’s learned from chefdom, he only says, “Be patient. Think before you act.” Spoken like a true gamer. // Duke’s, The Langham, Shenzhen, 7888 Shennan Dadao, Futian District 福田区深南大道7888号 (8828 9888)

Pushkin Garden Bar & Grill

If by life you were deceived, drink here By Emma Guo

“Y

ou can drink here! You can sleep here!” Fei, the owner of Pushkin Garden Bar & Grill, tells us, as we sip fruity cocktails inside the rooftop establishment. She says this after we inquire about the bar’s bright blue couches, which are, in fact, sofa beds. Though unsure how serious the offer is, we consider it for a second. With a view of Nanshan Mountain on our right and the still waters of Shenzhen Bay on our left, we realize this would be our first pick in Sea World to bunk down in for a night. After living abroad in St. Petersburg, Fei returned to China and opened Pushkin with two other women. She named the bar after the Russian poet and filled it with copies of art from the Winter Palace. The whole place feels peaceful and a bit orthodox. Classic cocktails here all run RMB48 each. Lychee and rose is a pink sugary drink made with Smirnoff vodka, Bols lychee liqueur, rose syrup and Cointreau. Garnished

buzz might enjoy it; the more conservative should stick with the classically refreshing mojito. Many of the drinks are stronger than the standard in Sea World. Those who want the alcohol taken down a notch should tell the bartender when ordering. Besides the drinks, Pushkin Garden has an extensive food menu. Patrons can pick any three mini burgers for a reasonable RMB99. Open from 11am until midnight, Pushkin Garden functions as a cafe and restaurant by day and a bar by night. Drop by anytime for drinks, and if you fall asleep, no worries, they’ll fold out the sofa.

with a rose and peeled lychee, the drink arrives excessively strong and sweet. Though not a Russian beverage, we could imagine a Russian making it, given the drinks generous liqueur allowance. Those looking for a lychee

Price: Approx RMB100 for two drinks Who's going: Young professionals, Shekou expats, lychee lovers Good for: drinking with a view, ceiling art, strong cocktails

Lolita

New bar, old cliff By Sky Gidge

strange thing happened on the way into Lolita: Bob Marley met us at the door. His music – not him. He’s dead. Located next to Coco Park’s McCawley’s, Lolita occupies a spot infamous for shortlived clubs in Shenzhen. Most played blaring dance music for a few months, then quietly packed up and left town. In the last three years, at least three bars have opened and closed there. Each died like a lemming cascading down a cliff into the Arctic Ocean. However, Lolita plays Bob Marely, making it a different breed – we hoped. After entering, said hope dwindled. Lolita shares the same attributes as its predecessors: clacking dice games, women lolling over cell phones and disco lights bouncing off beer towers. For a Monday night there was a goodsized crowd when we dropped in, mostly men wearing office shirts and shiny shoes, occasionally singing along to musicians playing KTV favorites. While the service is great, the cocktails

August 2015 / SZ / www.thatsmags.com

aren’t, especially disappointing since every drink costs RMB58 (even a simple gin and tonic). The “blue death squad” cocktail has an almost indiscernible citrusy blast, contrasting with rather than enhancing its alcoholic flavor. Frozen margaritas have large chunks of ice with only a little salt around the shallow glasses, and the “coconut fragrance” is a creamy, sugary concoction

unable to mix at all with the vodka imbued within its long-stemmed glass. The menu lists wines and the countries they come from, but not the specific regions. Not reassuring when bottles go as high as RMB580. One bottle of sparkling Italian moscato costs RMB238. Yet it can be purchased online for RMB39, leading us to suspect Lolita aims for customers willing to leap first and ask questions later. Lemmings don’t actually follow each other to their deaths – that myth was cemented into popular consciousness after a Disney camera crew pushed them off a cliff in an Academy Award-winning 1958 documentary. But does the simile fit? Is Lolita heading for the same cliff as all the bars before it?

Continental Quest

Can Evergrande score big at the AFC Champions League? by Matt Horn

aving made a positive start to his domestic league campaign, Guangzhou Evergrande’s new boss Big Phil Scolari will be turning his attention to the continent’s top prize this month. On August 25 he will take his team to face Japanese side Kashiwa Reysol in the first leg of the Asian Champions League quarter-finals, with Scolari hoping to emulate Marcelo Lippi’s achievement in lifting the crown in 2013. Lippi’s team met the same side at the semi-final stage, enjoying a crushing 8-1 aggregate win. The tie is set up to be a Brazilian battle, as both squads feature a selection of Samba boys. Scolari wasted no time in adding to his quota of compatriots with the eyecatching swoop for Tottenham Hotspur’s midfielder Paulinho. He was once Spurs’ record signing and cost Hengda around RMB100 million, reuniting Scolari with a man he played six times in Brazil’s World Cup campaign last year. The free signing of former Man City star Robinho a couple of weeks later was another definite declaration of intent. The Japanese side is likely to feature three boys from Brazil in the shape of Lean-

dro, Cristiano and Eduardo. It is Kashiwa’s third campaign, having finished fourth last year under yet another Brazilian, Nelsinho Baptista. He led the club to the J-League title in 2011, a year after getting promotion from J2, but left at the end of last season. Under new coach Tatsuma Yoshida, this campaign has been a much bigger struggle, and in the middle of July the club was languishing in 14th place, just five points off the bottom. Both Kashiwa and Evergrande reached the last eight with narrow wins against Korean opposition, but Guangzhou will be heavily fancied to progress. Hengda are keeping pace with the other top sides in the CSL thanks to consistent form that saw Scolari gather 10 points from his first four games. In the match closest to the 7-1 humiliation he suffered at the hands of Germany in the World Cup last year, his players did their best to ease the painful memory with their own sevengoal romp against Chongqing Lifan, which curiously did not have any goals from star Brazilian Ricardo Goulart. But this is the toughest title battle they have faced in recent years, with Beijing Guoan, Shanghai SIPG and Shandong

Luneng all challenging with a dozen games remaining. While Evergrande continue to fly high, it is tougher times across the city at Guangzhou R&F. It is safe to say that if Romanian coach Cosmin Contra had a similar record at Hengda, he would have been filling in his exit form at Baiyun Airport a long time ago. There is a growing number of fans who hope they will be waving goodbye sooner rather than later. Ironically, the man who may have put a couple of the final nails in Contra’s coffin is the club’s former manager, Sven-Goran Eriksson. In the space of four days, his Shanghai SIPG side knocked Fuli out of the FA Cup and then scored two very late goals to turn the Guangzhou side’s 2-1 lead into a 3-2 defeat in Yuexiushan Stadium. R&F’s mid-July position of 10th compares unfavorably with the third spot achieved when the Swede was running the show last year, prompting grumblings among the fans, who are not upset by the prospect of a change in coach. If that is the case, who could they possibly replace him with? Wouldn’t it be interesting if they turned to short-lived former Hengda boss Fabio Cannavaro? Now there is a tantalizing thought to leave you with.
