Editor's Note

October

Water. The source of all life in this world. It is vital for our existence, it sustains us. It makes up more than 50 percent of our bodies – in some adults, 65 percent. It covers around seven-tenths of the Earth’s surface, yet somehow we still suffer shortages. As Coleridge so poetically put it: “Water, water, everywhere / And all the boards did shrink / Water, water, everywhere / Nor any drop to drink.” He was talking about a ship full of mariners, stranded at sea for their hubris. That ship is our world, those mariners humanity, and soon we too may suffer for our recklessness, surrounded by water that we cannot drink. Around 750 million people internationally lack access to safe water. That’s one in nine people. As of 2015, the dangerously low supply of usable water is the top global risk facing mankind, according to the World Economic Forum. It’s a particularly big problem for a country like China, which has 20 percent of the global population but 7 percent of its fresh water. Pollution is a major concern, both from factory runoff and old pipes that contaminate water on its way from water treatment facilities to people’s homes. When you consider that tap water is actually held to higher standards than bottled water, it really starts to get you worried. China’s problems are not China’s alone. Several South and Southeast Asian countries depend upon water sources that flow through China. Anything that affects the supply – including reported plans to construct dams, shoring up the Middle Kingdom’s H20 – has a knock-on effect on those nations downstream. There are fears that, as water becomes scarce everywhere, wars will erupt to safeguard supply, and all the pieces are in place for just such a situation to transpire in the PRC. Turn to p38 to read more. If geopolitics and the environment sound a little too serious for your mood, turn to our Life & Style section, where we’ve got an interview with editor-in-chief of Vogue China Angelica Cheung (p22), an inside look at the iconic White Swan Hotel post-facelift (p28) and, for this month’s Daytripper, a traditional religious parade that’s been taking place in Shunde, Foshan, for more than 150 years (p28). Have you been struck down with festival fever yet? Guangzhou is hosting its annual jazz festival (p36), while Shenzhen is gearing up for a massive electro bash in November. Did someone say Afrojack?

tales of the city Dengue rates down in Guangdong

Turtle power Shenzhen police seized 282 turtles on September 20, just as the reptiles were being smuggled across the Hong Kong border. While the facts of the case remained unclear at time of print, experts opined that they were likely to be an endangered species, according to China Daily. This assessment comes on the heels of a similar case reported at the end of August, when 620 turtles and tortoises (510 endangered) were intercepted in Guangxi, en route from Vietnam. Discovered alive in a shipment of frozen seafood, the animals were headed for Guangdong, where they are considered a delicious treat.

Car-hailing apps driven to ground A Didi Kuadi driver is facing a RMB100,000 fine from authorities in Guangzhou, possibly the largest fine ever issued to a private driver in China. It all started on June 9 when the driver, Cui Gaohui, was busted with a Didi passenger in Dongshan district, according to the South China Morning Post. When approached by police, Cui sent a message to a private driver social media group requesting help, bringing hundreds of other drivers to the scene, who then surrounded the car in an effort to encourage police to let the man go. A confrontation with authorities that lasted several hours ensued, but Cui was able to leave the scene without a ticket or having his car impounded. Assuming the altercation was over, he was shocked to open the door at the end of August to municipal transport committee officials delivering a RMB100,000 ticket for running an illegal taxi service. The incident is the latest in a series of setbacks for private car-hailing companies. Uber’s Guangzhou office was raided earlier this year, and Uber and Didi Kuaidi – the two biggest players in the market – have been censured by both Beijing and Shenzhen authorities for suspected illegal activity.

Compared to last year, South China has seen an 84.2 percent drop in cases of dengue fever. So far, 664 instances have been reported, according to health authorities, with 570 of those occurring in Chaozhou – roughly 86 percent of the total. Guangdong’s climate makes the province a hotbed for the mosquito-borne disease in China: out of the country’s 46,000 cases last year, 35,000 were registered in Guangzhou alone. The diminished figures this year seem to indicate that government initiatives have had an effect: following 2014’s outbreak of dengue, several measures were instituted to cull the mozzie population, including introducing mosquito-eating fish to some lakes and rivers.

According to a report in the Global Times, 223 village officials in Tianhe District have turned over their travel documents to higher authorities, so that they will be unable to hightail it abroad should they come under suspicion for corruption. This cache of papers includes passports as well as permits for Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan. “With the growth in urbanization and renovation of urban villages, village officials are beginning to control large amounts of rural capital, property and land," said Mo Tao, director of the publicity and education department of Tianhe District's disciplinary watchdog. "This policy would help monitor their whereabouts and prevent corrupt officials from fleeing overseas." Tianhe’s “rural capital, property and land” is valued at more than RMB20 billion (USD3 billion). Government workers nationwide are required to relinquish their passports, but most cities do not require elected community officials to do the same. In order to travel abroad, the destination(s) and reason for the trip must be reported.

The University of Hong Kong-Shenzhen Hospital has completed the first operation aided by 3-D printing technology in the PRC, according to a report in China Daily, helping a 6-year-old boy tormented by brittle bone disease to stand again. The unnamed child, from Guiyang, Guizhou province, could only sit in a chair due to several fractures in his legs, according to doctors involved in the surgery. The printed bones were not used to replace actual bone, but instead used to plan how the surgery would be conducted. “By printing out a 3-D skeleton model of the boys lower limbs, we were able to make a precise plan for the boy’s operation and perform the operation successfully,” Kaitsun, a consultant surgeon of orthopedics and traumatology at the hospital, told reporters. “Due to severe bone malformation, even making a standard X-ray film became impossible, which made it very difficult to work out an operational plan for him.” The use of 3-D models has been credited with cutting down surgery time and saving the boy a considerable amount of pain and recovery time.

It is said there are three signs indicating you have really mastered a foreign language. One is that you dream of yourself speaking the language, another is that you can fight with a native speaker in it. The last is that you can understand or tell jokes in it. Let’s try reading this Chinese joke: 马克刚学了一些中文。今天他去参加中国朋友的婚礼，很有礼貌地赞美新娘漂亮。新郎说：“ 哪里哪里。”马克以为自己说得不够明确，就说：“眼睛、鼻子、嘴巴，都很漂亮啊！” Here’s the English version: Mark had just learned some Mandarin. Today he went to his Chinese friend’s wedding. He politely gave compliments on the bride’s beauty, but the groom said: “Nǎlǐnǎlǐ” (literally, ‘where where’).” Mark thought what he had said was not clear enough, so added: “Her eyes, nose and mouth are all beautiful!” Get it? It's a play on words. Mark knows that 哪里 (nǎlǐ) is a question word meaning ‘where,’ but he doesn’t know that 哪里哪里 (nǎlǐnǎlǐ) is a very idiomatic way to respond to compliments and show modesty. We all make mistakes when speaking a foreign language, especially when it comes to idioms and expressions that cannot be interpreted by the literal meaning. Can you think of some other similar words? Maybe you can create your own joke and share it with your Chinese friends!

Looking for a coffee shop where you can listen to the ribbiting of frogs? In need of a devastatingly handsome karate instructor or a Mexican meal for two spicy enough to elicit tears? No matter how specific your request, Baidu’s new virtual assistant Duer can help (at least according to the Chinese tech company’s commercial starring Angelababy as a woman of oddly particular whims). Activated by voice, the artificial intelligence-based Duer, which comes built into Baidu’s mobile app, is the Chinese search giant’s answer to Apple’s Siri, Google Now and Microsoft’s Cortana. Users can summon Duer to provide a range of offline services, from ordering food delivery to buying cinema tickets. The next phase is integrating Duer with the Internet of things, which would allow users to control devices in the home via speech. Duer is known in Chinese as Dumi (度秘), meaning Baidu secretary. Yes, Baidu wisely sidestepped using a homonym for ‘do me’ as the English name of its female-voiced P.A., “but something close to ‘do her’ was apparently okay," noted a baffled (and clearly unconsulted) Kaiser Kuo, the director for international communications at Baidu.

Down the hatch

A Wenzhou woman with an impressive commitment to frugality but less laudable powers of foresight downed an entire USD200 bottle of Remy Martin XO at Beijing’s airport because she couldn’t take the liquid in her hand luggage and didn’t want to let good cognac go to waste. Despite clearing the security check, however, she was subsequently barred from boarding her flight because she was, shockingly, deemed too drunk to fly. Police arranged for a medical consultation (diagnosis: inebriation) and notified her family to come pick her up. She reportedly awoke from her stupor nine hours later and, after learning what had happened, thanked the cops for taking care of her. RANDOM NUMBER

Not content with Orient Thai Airlines’ offer to put them in a hotel for the night, the Chongqing-bound travelers claimed they wanted Thai people to “show some respect to China.” But after a video of their unorthodox antics went viral online, the protesting passengers were widely criticized. China’s National Tourism Administration blacklisted the ringleaders, reprimanding them for “severely tarnishing Chinese tourists’ international image.”

A Shout-out to the Gaginan

Teochew people and their culture by Tristin Zhang

esiding in South China for about 1,700 years, the Teochew (Chaoshan in Mandarin) people are one of three ethnic groups who have lived in these lands for generations. Though they have long shared the region with the Cantonese and Hakka, they still maintain their own language and have inherited a unique culture. According to modern Chinese geography, the Chaoshan region generally refers to the cities of Chaozhou, Shantou, Jieyang and Shanwei, located in the southeastern part of Guangdong province. People from this area refer to each other as gaginan (Teochew transliteration), or ‘my own people’ in English. One of the foremost characteristics ascribed to the Teochew is an instinct for trade and business, no matter if it’s a neighborhood grocery store or a global corporation. Amongst a long list of well-known Teochew entrepreneurs, the most notable are Li Ka-shing, formerly the richest man in China, and Ma Huateng, founder of Tencent, the company that created the almighty WeChat and QQ.

Roots

In the history of the Teochew people there were two major migrations. The first occurred from the Western Jin dynasty (A.D. 265-316) to the Tang dynasty (A.D. 618-907), when masses of Han people fled south, usually as clans, to escape the occupation of the north by nomadic groups. It was then that the ancestors of the Teochew people migrated from Zhongyuan (中原) - today’s Henan province plus the downstream regions of the Yellow River, regarded as the cradle of the Han people - to present-day Fujian. Here, they lived for a few generations, before setting out for the plains of southeast Guangdong and establishing the eight counties of Chaozhou Prefecture ( 潮州八邑). Most of these prefectures are now towns located in the cities of Chaozhou, Shantou and Jieyang. (The Han people that came directly to Guangdong from Zhongyuan were the ancestors of the Cantonese people.) Some of the traditional Cantonese and

October 2015 / GZ / www.thatsmags.com

Teochew families still keep documentation of their pedigree. For example, Donald Tsang, former chief executive of Hong Kong, has said that his ancestors came from Shandong province to Guangdong’s Nanhai County, and that his grandfather moved to Hong Kong from there.

‘Jews of the East’

Considering most of them lived on or not far from the shore, it is hardly surprising that the Teochew people became brave maritime explorers. This led to the second great migration, which occurred more than 1,000 years after the first. Many Teochew began leaving China after the First Opium War via one of the four treaty ports established by Great Britain along the southern coast, primarily Canton (Guangzhou) and Swatow (Shantou). At the beginning, most left home because of famine, sailing away to earn a better living and mailing back letters along with money to feed their families.

Research done by the China Science and Technology Group in 1994 revealed that the late-1800s diaspora of the Teochew means that today their descendants can be found throughout Southeast Asia, including five million in Thailand, 800,000 in Malaysia and Indonesia, 500,000 in Singapore, 300,000 in Vietnam and 200,000 in Cambodia, as well as a further 300,000 in the US, 150,000 in France and 100,000 in Canada. The Teochew people are sometimes known as the ‘Jews of the East,’ a term supposedly coined by a Thai newspaper, after King Rama VI of Thailand praised the Teochew’s “racial royalty and astuteness in financial matters.” Their spread across Southeast Asia was similar to that of the Jews in Europe, as was the resulting discrimination and prejudice that arose against them, largely due to their perceived economic clout.

Language

Teochew dialect is closely related to the

feature » CITY

Hokkien and Taiwanese language. Rather than a uniform pronunciation, there is substantial variation between different areas of Chaoshan, and between different Teochew communities overseas. The dialect is considered one of the oldest and most well-preserved Chinese languages. After the Song dynasty (A.D. 960-1279), Han culture and its speech was influenced to a large extent by northern conquerors, such as the Mongolians during the Yuan dynasty (A.D. 1271-1368) and the Manchu people during the Qing dynasty (A.D. 1644-1912). However, the spoken word in the far south has managed to keep its primitive form. As with many regional Chinese languages, however, there is a fear that Teochew will die out. Younger generations who grow up outside of the Chaoshan region tend to speak Mandarin, whereas their overseas counterparts focus more on learning the language of wherever they are living. Within a few generations, Teochew could be lost to all but those living in the Chaoshan region. The good news is that quite a few overseas Teochew associations have been established by those who want to breathe life into the culture and dialect, including the Paris-based L'Amicale des Teochew en France and the Teochew Association at the University of California.

Ancestor worship

There are many ancient traditions that are still practiced today in Guangdong, especially in underdeveloped areas such as the Chaoshan region. Ancestor worship in particular is given significant importance in Teochew society, as many continue to believe that the departed can shield against danger and misfortune while bringing blessings and wealth – if they are properly honored. Led by the clan elders, descendants show reverence to the deceased in ancestral shines throughout the year, but most especially during Qingming (Tomb Sweeping) Festival. On minor dates, a few family households will bring modest offerings, whereas grand occasions call for the whole bloodline to attend, usually bearing five different animals – including an entire roasted pig and goat – as well as buckets of steamed rice and numerous cups of tea. Prior to an important ancestor worship ceremony, firecrackers are lit, followed by an

emcee announcing the commencement of festivities, which is heralded by a great din of drums and suonas. People kneel down and say prayers to their expired family members. Mountains of paper money and incense are burned. After the establishment of the PRC, these traditions were discouraged, because they were considered a residual corruptive custom of feudalism. Ironically, they were sustained in Southeast Asia – in Thailand, three days before every year’s Winter Solstice (冬至), the clan of Lin has a large ancestor-worship ceremony where over 3,000 people gather.

Food and drink

Traditional Teochew people do not consider a meal without seafood a proper meal. Mild flavors and minimal use of food oil are common traits of the cuisine, with freshness and quality of ingredients determining the taste and flavor. Poaching, braising and steaming are common techniques, and Teochew food is generally regarded as relatively healthy. A popular condiment is shacha sauce (沙茶酱), a paste made from soybean oil, garlic, chili, dried shrimp and fish. It is commonly used in beef and Chaozhou hotpot. Also common are pork, chicken, duck and tofu stewed in a mixture of anise, licorice, Sichuan pepper and cinnamon. Teochew oyster omelet is one of the most popular eats in Taiwan’s night markets, as well as in Fujian. Though it varies by region, in general the omelet is filled with oysters that have been fried with pork lard. Starch is added to the egg batter to give it a thick consistency. Great lovers of a good brew, Teochew people are noted for being partial to kung fu tea. Though it has nothing to do with martial arts, it’s certainly got some kick. A good tea set is a must-have in every Teochew home, from which any courteous host will serve guests with a kung fu cuppa. Outside the home, Chaoshan restaurants commonly serve an oolong tea called Tieguanyin in tiny cups before and after a meal, the thick, bittersweet taste apparently thought to work as both a non-alcoholic aperitif and digestive.

NBA Global Games Preview

Two US basketball teams go head to head BY Andrew Chin

When the Los Angeles Clippers and Charlotte Hornets tip off on October 14 at Mercedes-Benz Arena, it will be the 20th game that the NBA has staged on the mainland. Although it’s an exhibition game, the league takes their Global Games seriously, so expect to see the stars play and for legends like Bill Russell and Yao Ming to pop by. Don’t know who to cheer for? We have you covered.

Los Angeles Clippers 56-26

Historically synonymous with losing thanks to their infamous former owner Donald Sterling. After lucking into two of the league’s top superstars, the Clippers were able to depose Sterling once his racist recordings leaked onto TMZ. Now the Clippers are championship contenders, knocking the mighty San Antonio Spurs out of the playoffs last year. Chris Paul, PG

The eight-time All-Star is considered the best “pure point guard” in the league, embodying the will and toughness of a little guy in a big man’s league.

Teams

Record

History

People to know

Blake Griffin, PF

Once the coolest and most popular NBA team in the early 1990s, the Hornets have been mired in mediocrity and apathy since its original owner moved the team to New Orleans. The NBA awarded Charlotte a new franchise, but the city has yet to warm up despite being owned by native son and basketball legend Michael Jordan. Michael Jordan, owner

It’s never a good sign when the owner is the most famous person associated with your squad, but it’s been like that in Charlotte since the Hornets returned to the NBA. Linsanity may have come and gone, but the Hornets backup point guard hopes to reignite his career on a new team. He remains a folk hero in China, thanks to his Taiwanese roots.

Why you should cheer for them:

The Hornets used to be so cool, and it would be great for the team to tap into a rabid basketball fanbase that love their college teams like Duke, University of North Carolina and Wake Forest.

How much fun was it seeing an unheralded Asian PG who graduated from Harvard dominate the league for a couple of weeks? Who would say no to Linsanity 2.0?

You hate the Los Angeles Lakers and want to see them suffer the ultimate humiliation of watching their “rivals” claim their first championship.

The Clippers might be the most hateable team in the NBA right now. Chris Paul is kind of a bully, the team is derisively called ‘Flop City’ and their coach always complains to the refs.

33-49

Jeremy Lin, PG

The 26-year-old has already made five All-Star teams and a mint from endorsement deals that highlight his dry wit. He is perhaps the league’s best dunker.

Chris Paul is one of the gutsiest players in the NBA, whose will is apparent every time he’s on the floor. Plus it’s always fun to root for the little guy in basketball.

Charlotte Hornets

Why you should boo them:

You were a fan of a 1990s basketball team that wasn’t the Chicago Bulls and enjoy watching Jordan, the decision maker, be the complete opposite of Jordan, the transcendent player.

Man on the Street

SHOE SHINER

Polishing up nicely by Christine Gilbert

onday to Friday, a mass of office workers flood Shenzhen’s CBD, trekking through dust, filth, the fumes of stinky tofu and the Styrofoam remnants of evening street food. Before walking through glass-paneled doorways and onto marble floors, many of the workforce decide to freshen up with a polish, and Li Yuanxia, a 50-year-old shoe shiner, stands – or rather sits – at the ready. Around the corner from one of Gangxia MTR station’s exits, Li waits among a posse of woman with rags in hand. The middle-aged group wear multi-patterned clothing and, strangely, gold jewelry, like the swashbucklers of old. They beckon male and female office workers to a seat at their squat wooden stools and polish away the grime of the city, one pair of pumps or loafers at a time. Li comes to her post each day from 7.30am until 6pm. Her holidays depend on the weather. Typhoons or sweltering heat mean time with her family but with the loss of a day’s wages, typically RMB70-80.

Since her husband works as a carpenter

and her son also has a job, her employment is not vital to the survival of her household. However, she shines shoes to provide for her own living expenses. “I don’t want to be a burden on this family,” she says, mentioning that her daughter-in-law and two grandchildren also live in her family’s nearby apartment. They stay in a one-bedroom unit in Gangxia East and split the rent of RMB1,450 a month between the three working family members’ incomes. But the shoe shining life suits Li. “I love this job because the work time is flexible,” she says. In a typical day, she wakes up at 7am, brings her breakfast or buys it from a restaurant near her post for only RMB10 and waits for customers until lunch time. She either eats food she makes or buys another cheap meal, and then works until dinner time. “If I am tired, I will go back home at any time,” she says, another reason why she enjoys this lifestyle. She continues to work as she tells us this, shining the shoes of first an MTR worker, then a regular customer and finally a salesman.

Survivors on Skateboards

Polio-affected Ghanaians find purpose in a new sport by Rohit Lakhani

he first time I set eyes on polio survivors enjoying a game of skate soccer on homemade skateboards in Ghana, I was touched by the spirit of the players to make a difference in their lives. Albert K.

The game is played in downtown Accra at a public car park, and the team is proudly known as the Rolling Rockets.

challenge for many who have been afflicted by polio. Even the use of basic amenities such as public showers and toilets becomes a matter of daily struggle, as they are not designed with the needs of the physically disabled in mind. Despite some of the Rolling Rockets having vocational training and others being experienced traders, most of them have resorted to begging to support their families, some with children. This too is hazardous, as it increases the risk of them getting hit by cars as they meander through traffic in the hope of getting alms from charitable hearts. Skate soccer is a window of opportunity “From my heart, everybody is welcome, everybody. I don’t care, maybe you white, black, everybody come. We are all human beings. Blood goes into our veins, so we are all human beings. I’ve no problem with anybody, so I don’t show difference in my heart.” The words of ‘Tupac Shakur,’ who is disabled from the waist down.

Understand qi, avoid an ugly death Looking back through previous articles, it occurs to me that I haven’t explained some basics of Chinese medicine. So this month we are going to rap about qi. Qi: what is it, where does it come from, what does it do for you, and what can you do for it? There is no English equivalent for the concept of qi (pronounced ‘chee’ as in cheese). When talking with my patients, I usually call it ‘energy,’ since this sounds less woo-woo than something like ‘life force.’ Energy is a decent translation, but it really only scratches the surface of what is perhaps the most complex concept in Chinese medicine. In its narrowest sense, qi flows through your body and concentrates around points that your acupuncturist can use to keep you in good health. In its broadest sense, qi is a universal force that creates, integrates and regulates everything in the cosmos, including us. As an acupuncturist, I am more concerned with how qi affects your health than how it holds the universe together. Luckily, this is pretty easy to summarize. In humans, qi has five main functions. It creates movement, which includes physical movement like your heartbeat and non-physical movement like mental activity. It protects you from invasion by environFitness

mental qi, which would otherwise set up camp in your tender fleshy bits and dewy mucous membranes. It regulates transformation, meaning that it takes the raw materials that you eat, drink and breathe and converts it into the qi, blood and body fluid that you require for structure and fuel. It regulates your temperature, not too cold and not too warm… just right. Your qi’s final duty is to keep you in a neat human-shaped package. It holds your cells together, keeps your blood in its vessels and your organs in their place. A place for everything and everything in its place. Thanks qi! Where can you get more of this amazing qi? You make it from food, drink and breath. To produce abundant qi, you need to eat the right foods in the right quantities at the right times, and you need to take full, relaxed breaths of clean air (oh dear). To enhance the production and flow of qi, you also need just the right amount of activity. Too little and the system stagnates, too much and you drain your qi. It’s a delicate balance, and it’s impossible to achieve perfection, so there are unavoidably times when you don’t have enough to meet your needs. Luckily, you have a deep reserve of qi that you inherited from your parents at conception. Anyone can get hurt – it happens to the best of us. Three years ago, I went flying off my bike and tore my meniscus. Worst. Pain. Ever. After that, from the time of my accident to the diagnosis to surgery to recovery, I couldn’t work out my legs for a year. Of course, an injury doesn’t always have to be so dramatic. It can happen while you are training or even just doing normal day-to-day activities. If you’re a seasoned athlete or gym junkie, you probably have a good understanding of the difference between good old muscle soreness and bad pain. If you’re experiencing a dull ache in muscles you recently worked, that’s probably just soreness. It’ll go away in a few days, so don’t let it slow you down. Letting sore muscle groups have a little break is a crucial part of training, because it’s that day or two off that allows them to recover, rebuild and become stronger. Work a different muscle group the next day, keep up with your cardio, and enjoy that sore/strong feeling! On the other hand, if you experience sudden sharp, stabbing pain or pain that seems to radiate from a specific point, it could be a serious problem. Time to chat with a doctor or physical therapist about where and how you were injured, and what exercises and movements you can do to work the rest of your body while

You can think of this prenatal qi as a combination of genetic information and a single-charge battery. It’s there to get you started and to keep things running when you don’t produce enough qi from diet and respiration. Don’t beat yourself up about dipping into your inheritance, that’s what it’s there for. But do try to be frugal, because once it is gone you die… literally. So, although you can’t choose your parents and you can’t live forever, if you live a righteous life with balanced diet, breath, activity and rest, you do have some control over how quickly you age and how long your life is… don’t mess it up! // Jon hanlon is a chinese medical practitioner, raised in the Us, trained in Australia, now healing the sick in Guangzhou.

rehabilitating the affected part. An injury can be the setback that drives you back to your old sedentary lifestyle – but it doesn’t have to be! Come up with a training regimen that doesn’t affect your injured area. After my accident, I couldn’t run, squat, press, lunge, do leg extensions or any type of weighted move. In the gym four to five days a week, I worked my upper body and core, and did rehab exercises for my legs. Sometimes I was annoyed at my situation – maybe a lot of times – but my perseverance was bigger than feeling sorry for myself. I expect the same attitude of anyone. While I say it’s okay to work through some pain, you also shouldn’t work out on a serious injury unless you’re looking for serious trouble. If you don’t allow yourself to recover well and return to training too soon, your injury could worsen, turn chronic and possibly never heal. So, again, talk to your doctor and watch what you do. Make sure you don’t overstress your body, and protect yourself. But don’t give up fully! Living a sedentary lifestyle is never the goal. // Kara Wutzke is a ﬁtness trainer who offers boot camps and

Parade through the quaint villages of Jun’an Schedule

October 21 Qiaotou 桥头 October 22 Shatou 沙头

October 22-24 Cangmen 仓门 October 25-27 Xinhua 新华 The year is 1851. Thirteen villages in Jun’an (located in present-day Shunde District, Foshan) come together to organize a parade in honor of two gods: Guan Di, a god of war and justice honored nationwide, and Hou Wang, a local deity who rules the waves. They hope that through their worship and celebration, their homes will be granted peace and protection from the floods that so often afflict the region. As the 1920s ushers in a new, post-imperial, post-World War I existence for China, the tradition is abandoned, and the temple associated with the ritual falls into ruin over the ensuing six decades. Then, in 1987, with the turbulence of the 60s and 70s behind them and the Reform and Opening Up policy well under way, the villagers decide it’s time to revive some of the old ways. Gathering donations from those still living in the area and those who have moved overseas, they rebuild the Di Wang Temple and hold a parade that passes through Jun’an’s villages. As the statues of Guan Di and Hou Wang are carried aloft, weathered grandmas, rambunctious kids, young couples – everyone comes out from their homes to watch this piece of resuscitated history, some joining the procession as it wends its way down the streets. Flash-forward to today, and the Di Wang Parade has been recognized as an intangible cultural heritage at the provincial level – which translates to more recognition and funding for the event. Incredibly, a 160-year-old custom that almost completely died out has been reborn in the modern age. This year, with the support of the town government and the input of a local culture and art agency, the Di Wang Parade is growing to new dimensions. Taking place across 11 villages, it will run for 16 days from October 16 to 31. Every day sees the procession visit different villages, each brimming with character. Make sure to take a few moments to observe the ancestral halls and temples of each stop, or lose yourself down one of the side streets for a glance at the simple life of the locals. Clay-sculpted roof decorations adorn the religious buildings – which also function as a gathering place for elderly folk to play mahjong – while surrounding them are gray brick houses filled with hand-hewn wood furnishings. Arguably, the first day of the celebration will be the most interesting, as the Guan Di and Hou Wang statues leave the Di Wang Temple and begin their journey accompanied by the crash of cymbals and the beating of drums. The day will start at Sanhua village, passing through Zhipu and ending up at Shangcun. The latter two stations will be particularly fun since they will host handicraft stalls, creative markets and dance performances from 1pm on October 16, as well as a mini rock concert of six indie bands from 7 to 10.30pm. Shangcun also has a claim to fame as the ancestral house of Bruce Lee. Dart down one of its narrow alleyways and ask the residents to point you in the direction of li xiaolong zuju (李小龙祖居). While little more than a typical rural home, it is amazing to stop and consider how someone whose family hailed from a tiny place in Jun’an could become a Hollywood star and kung fu icon. If you can’t make it on October 16, there will still be mobile culture kiosks throughout the rest of the festival set up in each village, selling souvenirs designed by local youth. Part of the proceeds will go towards community development in Jun’an. TL

How to get there

The easiest way to get to the villages of Jun’an is, of course, to drive. However, it is also possible to take the local buses. From Guangzhou South Railway Station, take the K990 to Jun’an Transportation Center (about two hours), and from there catch one of the regular local buses to whichever village you plan to visit. Jun’an Transportation Center can also be reached from Foshan City Bus Terminal and Xiaolan Transportation Center in Zhongshan. From Shenzhen, catch a bus to Shunde, then do as above. // Daytripper is a monthly column that aims to help people get the most out of their PrD experience by proposing fun excursions that can be made in a single day to explore the local culture and nature of the region.

As the editor-inchief of Vogue China (the youngest to cover such role for Condé Nast’s glossy), Cheung presides over a publication whose readership is greater than British, French, Italian and German Vogue combined. Since launching the title in 2005, Cheung has built from scratch one of the brand’s most dynamic and international editions. In the midst of a print media crisis that has pitted publishers against each other in a to-the-death fight for advertising ink, Cheung’s magazine needs to continually increase editorial volume to keep up with advertising demands. It is so popular in fact, that Cheung has been forced to add 12 supplements a year to the monthly publications. Then, of course, there are the rising number of digital products – iPad editions, WeChat subscriptions, mobile apps and the like. “People have this image of me as ‘daunting,’” she says, beckoning me to sit down, from behind her desk. “But once you get to know me, you realize I’m pretty nice.”

Beida classmates and I were the last generation of idealists in China,” she says. “And that still seeps through the way I approach my work today.” She studied English literature and law and received an MBA from the University of South Australia. Her goal, she says, was to become a lawyer. “I was convinced I was going to pursue a legal career. Up until I launched Vogue, working in media was just a means to broaden up my experience, my knowledge of the world.” She entered the publishing industry after moving to Hong Kong in the early 1990s, following a stint in the corporate and business sector. “The plan was for me to go to America, like everybody else did at the time, to further my law studies,” she says. “But I decided to take a ‘gap year’ in Hong Kong. I wanted to meet different people, expose myself to a wide range of realities. Working in business didn’t really enable me to do that, however. So I decided to have a go at journalism.” The first publication to offer her a shot was the Eastern Express, an English-language newspaper, covering culture arts, fashion and lifestyle. Always striving to stand out from the throng, her breakthrough feature was a profile series on young, successful mainland

Chinese in Hong Kong. “I did it at a time when popular culture used to represent mainlanders as uncouth, gold-diggers, peasants,” she recalls.

I am not in it for the glamour. I'm in it for the ride “It was a bold editorial decision. It got people thinking about China and the possibili-

ties it held under a new light.” Cheung continued working on all aspects of life in the former British colony in the runup to the handover to the PRC in 1997. Her writing landed her a position as executive editor for the lifestyle features of daily newspaper Hong Kong iMail, which she helped launch. But getting back into law remained her focus. “Throughout those years, I never really stopped studying.” Media job offers kept popping up, however, and in 2001 Marie Claire Hong Kong hired her as editor-in-chief. Two years later, she moved to Shanghai as editorial director of Elle China. “It was all supposed to be temporary,” she laughs. “I kept giving myself one, or two years in each job.” The call to edit the launch of Vogue China came in 2005. At first, Cheung almost sneered at the opportunity. “Condé Nast reached out at a time when I was seriously considering leaving the industry,” she says. ”I thought I’d had enough of fashion magazines. They said ‘But it’s Vogue.’ And I replied, ‘yeah, but it’s still another glossy.’ “And then it was something they said – ‘You are going to regret it if you don’t.’ It got me thinking. I started delving further into the publication, and realized I’d have the world’s top resources to bring to China. So I took the

job – again, with the plan to leave after the launch.” Until then, international titles still saw China as a crass backwater with no real potential for a well-read audience. Many magazines would simply syndicate and translate materials from their foreign counterparts. “But Condé Nast wanted to do something different. They were looking for original content. It dawned on me that I could create something entirely new.” And she did. In September 2005, only six months after taking the job, Cheung released Vogue China’s first issue, with an initial run of 300,000 copies. It sold out almost instantly, leading to a second printing. Circulation climbed quickly, and ad sales took off. On the cover was model Du Juan, who went on to become the first Chinese supermodel and hugely famous in her own right. But getting there proved quite hard. “Nobody knew me internationally,” says Cheung. “Nobody had set foot here before. The general idea was ‘It’s China. They have money but no taste.’ I had to project a high level of confidence in what we were doing to earn the respect of the industry and change that attitude. The challenge made it interesting.” At the time, China’s domestic fashion industry was still finding its feet. The country did not have homegrown international-level photographers, stylists or models, and understood little about how they worked. Aiming to make a Vogue that matched international standard, Cheung brought foreign talent on board – French fashion photographer Patrick Demarchelier and Carine Roitfeld, former editor of French Vogue, as stylist. Similarly, however, these fashion luminaries also understood little about China. “There was a very orientalist vision of the country,” says Cheung. “Or too European, if you’d like. All these people knew were Wong Kar-wai movies, Maggie Cheung and Zhang Ziyi. Naturally, they wanted to show an image of beauty rooted in the past, and shoot the models wearing ‘exotic’ costumes in some ‘ancient’ location. I had to act quite diplomatically to make them see these were stereotypes. It wasn’t easy.” “Another problem was that no one wanted to shoot Chinese models,” adds Cheung. “This was of course 10 years ago. Many photographers didn’t know these girls, so they genuinely didn’t have a feel for them. Creatively, they didn’t know how to tell their story, emphasize their beauty or establish a relationship.” “I remember asking Anna [Wintour] to help me organize a breakfast meeting with all the model agencies and casting directors in New York, urging them to employ Chinese

October 2015 / GZ / www.thatsmags.com

models at fashion week, so that the industry could get used to them. It was a first, like so many other things we’ve done.” A decade later, and most of these models – Ming Xi, Liu Wei, Feifei Sun – have become common fixtures of the fashion circuit, so much so that they often no longer have time to shoot for Cheung. Shunning away from cliché and transplanted western ideals, Cheung has strived to show fashion’s upper echelons the real needs of Chinese readers. For the first few years, Cheung treated Vogue China almost as a textbook, deconstructing trends and explaining fads, cultural icons and style movements from the very beginning to a readership raised with the sole imagery of Mao suits. Her advice is now sought by CEOs and international designers working to establish businesses in China. But in recent years, Cheung has sought to tone down the magazine’s focus on clothes – and concentrate instead on women whose work and character readers can empathize with and learn from. Cheung credits the changes in editorial direction to the birth of her daughter eight years ago. “After Hayley was born, I started thinking about the kind of woman I hoped she would become: stylish, but not a slave to fashion; socially aware, happy, brave and loving.” The magazine currently runs at 300 editorial pages each month, in comparison with American Vogue’s approximately 100 pages of editorial copy. “I like to feel we are more

than a fashion magazine,” she explains. “I am talking to working women, not just fashionobsessed girls. It’s difficult to keep going for ten years if you only try to sell bags and shoes. You have to give a meaning to what you do.” To make it onto the magazine’s cover – which has been graced by Kendall Jenner, Karlie Kloss, Liu Wei and, in the latest September issue, 10 A-list Chinese actresses shot by Mario Testino – Cheung requires her subjects to fit the idea of a ‘Vogue woman’: positive, successful, self-confident, ahead of the trends. “I want to preach to my readers that they can have it all,” says Cheung, before adding the caveat, “if they want.” In the case of Cheung, that want translates into hard fought desire. A typical day will see her wake up at 6.30am to personally take her daughter to school, before traveling across town to the office – where she is always the first to walk through the door, “so that I can enjoy the calm before the storm.” She takes visitors and calls with New York until about 11am, then spends the rest of the day on internal editorial issues. In the afternoon, she meets with staff – many of whom queue outside her office, in hope of securing some much-prized face-time. She leaves the office ‘early,’ at five or six, to make sure she’s there when Hayley does her homework. Dinner is with her daughter and her husband Mark. Once Hayley goes to bed, she resumes work.

one, maybe two business dinners per week, and never travels for events. She never does talk shows, and purposely stays away from the limelight. When she has to travel for work – four months of the year for business and fashion weeks – she tries to bring her family if it’s for longer than three days, so that they can maintain a routine. “I’m a normal working parent, and I make my best to make it work,” she says. But, as we chat more about her schedule, it is clear that running the most successful Vogue in the world requires more than ‘normal.’ The 49-year-old lives on five hours sleep. She can go all day without eating, because “I’m just busy thinking of work things.” Often, she tells me, she schedules overnight flights so that she can get to Paris or London in the morning, go to meetings, and then leave again in the evening for the next destination. “I see no point in spending the night in a hotel if I could be traveling while sleeping. If I have an extra hour, I always, always try to squeeze in another meeting.” Breaking away from the magazine is hard, she says. She doesn’t sleep well as her mind is constantly preoccupied with the next project. “I am a natural worrier. I never stop thinking about work. Sometimes I’ll have a

new idea, often while I sleep. It’s hard for me to switch off. My husband says I am lot better than before, but then there’s the digital side of the business… I always think there’s a better way to do things, improve what we’re doing.” She pauses. “You are married to the job, in a way. And you either go full speed, or you do something else.” Anna Wintour, Cheung says, is the same. “We have this energy that drives us. The willingness to get the job done. To put in the extra effort. Always.” Comparisons to her American colleague have been made since Cheung started off at Vogue. She has been dubbed the Wintour of China. I ask her if the association bothers her. “No, not at all. Few things annoy me in life. I think it’s just a way for people to better understand who I am,” she says. “Rumors, gossip, negative comments. They don’t matter. I don't read rubbish on the Internet. I need to be informed, of course – I take good criticism. The rest is just fluff.” As an editor, her biggest concern remains how best to bridge the gap between China and the rest of the world. “We’ve made tremendous progress, but there’s still a lot of work to do. I don’t see as many

Chinese models as I’d like on the runway. Same for Chinese designers. I am proud of my heritage and what I really want is for more people [in the industry] to really understand the country that makes up 50 percent of their business.” The West’s recent awakening to China’s fashion power – with the Met show, the ‘China issues’ many international titles have started to release and the brands staging exclusive catwalks in the PRC – is something she takes positively, if with a pinch of salt. “What matters is that people are aware of us,” she says. “Although of course, the day our economy is down, as is the case now, we might just disappear from their radar. That’s why it’s so important to really grow our sophistication and show our creative potential in an international way.” Could she do that anywhere else apart from Vogue? “I don’t think so. Working at Vogue, you learn to deal with everybody – from celebrities to cobblers. It gives you the scope of doing different great things within the same role. There’s nothing I would change. And we are only at the beginning” she says. “My biggest satisfaction is to have brought us here. So many people thought we were going to fail. I thought we stood a chance. And look how far we’ve come.”

Taking Flight

White Swan Hotel unfurls its new wings by Tom Lee

t’s an odd sensation to walk into a hotel and feel as though you’ve entered a tourist site. Entering the atrium of the rejuvenated White Swan Hotel is like setting foot on the Great Wall: young girls are madly snapping selfies and giving sultry pouts, while big groups with wide grins plastered across their faces pose for the camera, peace signs thrust forward. The background to these frenetic snapshots is the White Swan Hotel’s magnificent Homeland Water Fountain, a dainty pavilion perched atop a rock wall. A waterfall gushes out from the stone facade, cascading into the koi fish pond below. It’s an incredibly striking feature, one that certainly warrants a picture or two, but there’s something more behind the frantic clicks of smartphone cameras. Sometimes it’s hard to remember that, not so long ago, luxury hotels were a rarity in China. Now that every year sees dozens of five-star openings across the country, we forget that back in the early 80s, gleaming glass panels and shining marble floors were scarce – and the places that did boast these opulent designs were off limits to almost all Chinese bar a lucky few. When the White Swan Hotel opened in 1983, it was an historic event. Welcoming in the average Joe, its founder, Hong Kong tycoon Henry Fok, wanted it to be a symbol of where China was headed: “The White Swan Hotel must open all its doors. When I run a hotel in

October 2015 / GZ / www.thatsmags.com

Guangzhou in China, I hope that the common people in China know that the world will become better and that the Reform and Opening Up will bring them good days.” Soon, the hotel was the first in China to become part of the Leading Hotels of the World and one of the first to obtain a five-star rating, as well as receiving visits from such distinguished personages as Queen Elizabeth II, Richard Nixon and Fidel Castro, to name a few. But it is not for these reasons that people have flocked to the White Swan Hotel since it reopened on July 14. Instead, many locals return to the grande dame of Guangzhou luxury hotels because they remember originally coming as younger versions of themselves, gobbling down dim sum with their parents and grandparents. While the rooms have been dazzlingly refurbished to accommodate modern tastes, many of the hotel’s original features remain, including the exquisite jade ship that dominates the lobby. And though looking out the building’s north side may not present quite the same Pearl River skyline as in 1983, gazing down onto Shamian Island’s concession-era buildings is like stepping back in time. Already the River Café’s sumptuous international buffet and scenic views are attracting innumerable diners, though those eager for a nostalgic taste of classic Cantonese cuisine will have to wait a little longer for the unveil-

ing of Jade River. Rest assured, many of the culinary and service staff who were with the White Swan before it closed for a refresh have returned to its walls, ensuring the continuity of a Guangzhou icon.

Thunderstruck!

Budweiser Storm Festival to electrify Shenzhen by Matthew Bossons

lectronic dance music, or EDM, is a comparatively recent musical phenomenon in the PRC. The genre has been popular for decades in Europe and has become a billboard mainstay in the United States, but China remains relatively virgin to its catchy beats, cascading tremolo and ear-slamming drops. It’s with this in mind that the organizers of Budweiser Storm Festival are bringing their celebration of electronic music thundering into Shenzhen next month. The two-day music fest, which will run November 21-22, is touted as China’s largest celebration of electro music culture – although it is the inaugural year for the festival in Shenzhen, Storm Festival is charging into its third year in Shanghai. Over the festival’s three-year history, it has earned praise for its creative stage design and ability to lure in heavy-hitting international acts. The large crowds of eclectically outfitted EDM enthusiasts that attend have also helped bolster the event’s reputation as a world-class affair. This year’s Shanghai Budweiser Storm Festival, running October 3-4, has already announced performances from EDM heavy-hitters Skrillex, Tiesto, Laidback Luke and A-Trak, among numerous others. The Shenzhen lineup, although thinner at the moment, boasts performances by Afrojack, Fedde Le Grand, Kaskade and Showtek. “We decided to make our expansion into Shenzhen mainly because of its close proximity to Hong Kong,” says Eric Zho, CEO of A2Live, the company behind Storm Festival. “Hong Kong has a more established relationship with electronic music.” People in Shenzhen, much like those in Shanghai, are accustomed to international fads, making it easier to get the locals involved.

October 2015 / GZ / www.thatsmags.com

The drug culture in America really helped the EDM culture develop so quickly there. China doesn’t have that advantage

“The first year we did Storm, it was mostly foreigners that attended,” said Zho. “We are starting to see a lot more interest from Chinese people.” Zho credits much of this shift in interest to a number of successful collaborations between high-profile international DJs and mainland Chinese artists. For instance, the track ‘Lose Myself,’ which brought together Swedish hitmaker Avicii and Mandopop Star Wang Leehom, has been hailed for opening up the Chinese consciousness to DJ culture. It was the world’s first mainstream Chinese EDM song, and its performance on the Middle Kingdom’s music charts was indisputably impressive. If you are failing to see why Budweiser Storm Festival’s Shenzhen debut is big news, remember China is a country where EDM has made relatively few inroads and prominent international DJs don’t routinely perform here. “I see where the rave culture is now in China as about where we were in the United States seven or eight years ago,” says Zho, who is originally a Los Angeles native. “The drug culture in America really helped the EDM culture develop so quickly there. China doesn’t have that advantage because there is no drug culture.” Despite the regularly noted connection between EDM and drug use, past incarnations of Storm Festival have seen relatively few issues, according to Zho. “You will always have some people that come in and use drugs, but for the most part there have been no problems,” he says. “We have a good relationship with the authorities, and the festival has lots of police officers present, both uniformed and undercover.” // For more information on budweiser storm Festivals shenzhen event visit their website: a2storm.cn

Proximity Butterfly Songs to celebrate women BY Andrew Chin

Medusae in a sense is a cry out to my mom and also a call out to women in general to find the strength they need in their lives to redefine themselves as human beings in a history that tells them to be a certain way.

ince forming a dozen years ago in Chengdu, multicultural quartet Proximity Butterfly have crafted a psychedelic sound that mixes ancient Chinese instruments with hard rock akin to Jane’s Addiction and Led Zeppelin. “The very first part of the band was established in a very accidental way,” recalls frontman Joshua C. Love. “We weren’t really looking to make music initially, but were looking to find something that was based in deep expressions. The music became a system of telling stories.” They’ve crafted an impressive discography that includes 2011’s Sichuan Earthquakeinspired concept album, Reprieve. However, their latest disc, Medusae, turns down the screaming for a hypnotic tribute to the struggles of women. “This album is a personal story for me,” Love says. “I haven’t really seen my mother for a very long time, and my relationship with her has been a shifting one. I know who my father is, but I’ve never really spent a lot of time with him, so my mother’s always been important. “She had a rocky patch in her life that left a lot of distance between the two of us. Medusae in a sense is a cry out to my mom

– to let her know that I love her – while being at the same time a call out to women in general to find the strength they need in their lives to redefine themselves as human beings in a history that tells them to be a certain way.” The Maybe Mars-released disc marks a new chapter for the group with Love admitting that the Mars Volta-inspired Reprieve was recorded during “a really rough time for the band with a lot of negative energy around.” “There was a lot more peace for this album,” he notes. “I started to realize that I didn’t have to be so harsh or negative. If I changed my tone or looked at the world a little differently, the product of that will also be different. Medusae is the first phase of looking at hope as not a distant thing but as something you create and actively engage. “It’s funny. I posted the album on Facebook and a lot of women from high school and college have really nice things to say about the songs. There’s a concerned care about the gravity of the lyrics, which have made me appreciate the relationship I have with these people.” Now the group is spreading its positive vibes across the country for its first national

tour since their 10th anniversary celebrations. They will stop off in Guangzhou and Shenzhen in the midst of a creative high. “We’ve been playing these songs which are inspiring new songs, so we’re already creating a whole new album,” Love explains. “We have close to 12 songs that are kind of a response to Medusae and have been adding a few songs that no one has heard before to the show.” The band’s return to the limelight is part of a Chengdu rock uprising, with young local acts like Hiperson and Stolen releasing their debut albums to great acclaim. Love praises the attitude of Chengdu’s music scene. “There’s no aggressiveness between bands,” he says. “People are generally friendly with each other and trying to contribute to the scene. That’s an important element to creating music. Everyone is trying to get more involved because it’s just meaningful.”

From J to Z

Shanghai’s legendary jazz institution comes to the South by Andrew Chin

Z is an institution in Shanghai. Not only does the brand run one of the most popular jazz clubs in town – in addition to several smaller venues – it also heads up a jazz school and organizes a huge annual festival featuring a diverse melange of international and local big bands, soloists and other smooth blues cats. Now, it’s heading south. In Shenzhen, the group has already opened a low-key performance hub, On Stage, while Guangzhou’s very own JZ Club is touching down this month. To coincide with this event, JZ are collaborating on two nights of the 2015 Guangzhou Jazz Festival, held at Xinghai Concert Hall. We spoke to JZ founder Ren Yuqing, former bass player to legendary rocker Cui Jian, about how it all began.

JZ Festival was one of the first big festivals in Shanghai. What inspired the idea and how would you describe the evolution of the outdoor festival market from the first JZ Festival to now? I went to the Beijing Jazz Festival in 1994. At the time, Beijing was the center of the music scene in China. I felt that Shanghai was a city that could support its own music community and expanded from a single club on Fuxing Lu to an international outdoor music festival so more people could share this experience. When JZ Festival began, there were only two or three outdoor music festivals in all of China, but now there are hundreds. Most of the early outdoor festival promoters took on the challenge out of a love for music. I think the government has recognized these festivals as a positive experience, so they have been supportive of more and more outdoor festivals over the years. The last few years JZ Festival has had some stellar headliners, including innumerable old legends and Grammy winners. Were you always able to attract top international acts and what has the reception been to the JZ Festival internationally? The international music scene in Shanghai is much different than when we organized the first JZ Festival over 10 years ago. As the festival grew, so did our ability to attract bigger and bigger headliners. I regularly travel to international festivals like Antibes, Montreax, North Sea, Cape Town and Java, and have established many friendships with festival directors, producers and artists. More and more international artists are interested in playing in China and contact us about performing at JZ Festival. We organized

JZ Festival events in Beijing last year and have even more JZ Festival events planned for this October in Guangzhou, Dalian, and Shenzhen. The JZ operation has been a major force in spreading jazz across China. How does the JZ Festival help domestic artists? In addition to our festivals, JZ Music also has several clubs in Shanghai, Hangzhou, and Wuhan that book domestic artists year-round. The newest JZ Club in Guangzhou is scheduled to open soon, and our team regularly promotes and produces local talent. In addition, we have arrangements with other international festivals that allow domestic artists to perform abroad. We just sent Coco Zhao to play the Antibes Festival in France this July, and the Antibes Festival will fly Charles Pasi over to play JZ Festival in Shanghai this October. JZ Music has had a long history of creating opportunities for cultural exchange.

What was the first JZ Festival like and when did it hit its current format of being a multi-stage showcase? The first JZ Festival took place on a single stage at our club on Fuxing Lu. Over five nights, about 1,000 people showed up. We expanded to two stages in Jing'an Park, three stages at Century Park and, eventually, over five different stages at Expo Park. I think the biggest challenge of having a festival that now hosts tens of thousands of people is keeping the original vision of creating an event where music lovers could share a unique experience. I still remember how it all started and try to stay true to my roots. What are your thoughts on the outdoor music festival market in China in general and what are some of the unique challenges that you face as a promoter compared to others around the world? I want to see the outdoor festival market in China support more musical diversity and believe that organizing a music festival means more than just creating entertainment. China does not have as many domestic music artists compared to other countries, so we make a conscious effort to support and develop the local music community. The local infrastructure to hold large-scale music festivals is also less established, so our goal is to continue to improve production and professional standards to the level of the top international jazz festivals. // the 2015 Guangzhou Jazz Festival takes place October 2230. if you live in Guangzhou, turn to our events calendar for the various concerts and talks taking place, or visit our brandnew website: www.thatsmags.com/guangzhou

Bringing Magic, Mystery, History of Istanbul to the World

an you guess which top international city was recently chosen as the top worldwide destination by Trip Advisor’s travelers? Paris? Rome? London? Rio? Belize? Those are the cities that usually come to mind when dream vacations are discussed. Try Istanbul. Surprised? Well, you shouldn’t be. For centuries, since the days of ancient Constantinople, Turkey has played a pivotal role in international tourism and trade. Much like modern day New York or Los Angeles, Istanbul has emerged as a prominent global city that literally bridges the divide between continents and cultures. Istanbul was recently crowned the top worldwide destination in the annual TripAdvisor Travelers’ Choice Awards, as determined by travelers’ reviews on the website. Widely acclaimed by experts and seasoned travelers as the perfect definition of a European vacation, the city of Istanbul is overflowing with an incredibly rich culture and history that spans civilizations over 10,000 years. Whatever your interests and preferences, Istanbul hosts numerous sites and potential activities for international travelers year-round. Istanbul, the largest city in Turkey and a valuable connection between Europe and Asia, is the only city in the world that sits on two continents, encompassing a wide range of cultural attractions. Popular highlights include the Bosphorus Strait, the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, Dolmabahce Palace, the Kariye Museum, the Underground Cistern, Galata Tower, the Princes' Islands, and the Grand Bazaar. Visitors in Istanbul would find a trip to any of these historic sites worthwhile.

Istanbul also offers fabulous shopping – from the traditional and fine goods at the world-famous aforementioned Grand Bazaar to the luxury malls offering the top international world-class designer products and clothing. Turkey’s significant boost in tourism, a primary contributor to the country’s gross domestic product, has also reinforced its status as a thriving business center and a viable trade partner. According to World Trade Organization estimates, global trade volume of merchandise and services from Turkey is expected to increase by 4.7 percent in 2014 and 5.3-percent in 2015. As Turkey continues to undergo the EU membership screening process, 178 trade representatives from the ministry are serving in 110 countries, 160 locations and 6 offices abroad. Indeed, Turkey is serious about its intent to trade and connect with countries any way it can. Playing a key role in bringing Istanbul to the U.S. and the world is Turkish Airlines, voted ‘Best Airline in Europe’ at the 2014 Skytrax World Airline Awards for the fourth consecutive year, currently flying to 265 destinations in 108 countries, which is more countries than any other airline. In 2014, Turkish Airlines carried 54.7 million passengers, a 13 percent increase compared with last year’s 48.3 million. With six current U.S. gateways, the airline is launching its seventh with flight service at San Francisco International Airport next month. What distinguishes Turkish Airlines is the warmth of the Turkish people and its superior customer service and hospitality. The airline offers its passengers top-tier restaurant quality cuisine and rotating menu options. For transoceanic flights, ‘Flying Chefs’ (trained profes-

sional chefs) are on-board in Business Class to prepare meals with fresh products featuring Turkish cuisine, such as shish kebab, karniyarik, manti and imam bayildi enhanced with fresh fruit and cheese and a delicious Turkish Delight selection. Due to Turkish Airlines top-tier service, it should come as no surprise that the company took home this year’s Skytrax ‘Best Business Class Catering’ award. It also won ‘Best Business Class Lounge Dining’ for its seamless catering service offered in its newest addition to guest comfort - the expanded and refurbished lounge at Ataturk Airport, Turkish Airlines’ Lounge Istanbul. Turkish Airlines is also giving its passengers the unique opportunity to spend their layover touring Istanbul—instead of waiting at the airport. This service offers passengers a chance to discover for themselves why Istanbul is one of the world’s premier destinations. The free tours, offered three times each day, are provided by TourIstanbul and led by English speaking guides. Each tour is open to Turkish Airlines passengers whose flight transfer times are long enough to accommodate the excursion. In order to meet the needs of growing passenger numbers, the airline recently expanded its Lounge Istanbul by more than 40 percent. The new lounge design adds a second floor to the existing space, connected with a spiral staircase that integrates a global sphere, representing the worldwide reach of Turkish Airlines. Already equipped with a library, billiards area, prayer room, children’s playground and massage beds, the lounge now includes a tea garden, free Wi-Fi access, a Turkish cuisinesampling corner and a golf simulator – among other additions. With the growing renown of its home base, Turkish Airlines has been able to offer more roundtrip airfare deals via Istanbul as well as continue to add destinations throughout the surrounding countries and regions. Ultimately, it is the magic, mystery and history of Istanbul that endures and its now more inviting and accessible than ever. www.thatsmags.com / GZ / October 2015

DARK WATERS Probing the depths of China’s mounting crisis By Jocelyn Richards

or the last three consecutive years, the World Economic Forum has cited a water supply crisis as one of the top five global risks facing mankind. In 2015, water shortage jumped to the top of the list, making it more hazardous than infectious disease and weapons of mass destruction. In China, a two-pronged crisis has already arrived. In 2012, more than half of the groundwater in almost 200 cities tested “bad” or “extremely bad,” according to Chinese government statistics. Apart from treating toxic lakes and polluted drinking water, the country is also tackling a severe water deficit. Eight regions – including Shanghai and Beijing – are over 50 percent below the water poverty line set by the World Bank. Four of China’s five major farming provinces are also among the driest places in the country. As a dominant exporter of agricultural products, China’s lack of water isn’t a confined dilemma – it’s a global problem.

WHERE GUANGDONG STANDS

isted as one of the nine “at risk” provinces by China Water Risk – a Hong Kong-based nonprofit research organization – Guangdong is neither waterrich nor scarce. Protecting the Pearl River Delta’s natural waterways from careless waste and pollution, therefore, is imperative to ensuring the province evades a water deficit. Unfortunately, starting in the 80s, South China’s special economic zone has consistently favored industrial development over environmental sustainability. “Guangzhou has around 230 rivers and brooks total, 60 of which are tested, although that number recently dropped to 51,” says Li Zhou, program manager at Greenovation Hub. “70 percent of those don’t meet official benchmarks, which isn’t ideal by citizen or government standards.” The state of Guangdong’s natural water pollution paints a bleak picture, but drinking water – at least in urban areas – is treated to a satisfactory level. Zhou and his colleague, Guanjun Feng, program officer at Greenovation Hub, agree that those who live in the central districts of China’s firsttier cities can expect their tap water to meet government standards (see page 42 to learn how China’s standards compare to the rest of the world). “Guangzhou is actually one of the most transparent local governments in the country when it comes to reporting specific water contaminant levels,” says Zhou. Every month, state websites list the quality of water tested in natural streams and each of Guangzhou’s primary wastewater plants. The results of the government tests correspond with the independent research of Greenovation Hub. “Just remember, the quality of water leaving a wastewater plant isn’t the same as that which enters your home,” says Feng. “Corroding pipes and dirty storage tanks can release contaminants into the water on its way back to your kitchen sink.” A portion of Guangzhou’s pipes – especially those in the older districts of Haizhu, Liwan and Yuexiu – were built in the 40s and 80s. Shenzhen assembled most of its pipes in the 90s while Zhujiang New Town finished construction in the 00s. Depending on which city and district you live in, how old your apartment is and how often your neighborhood disinfects its holding tank, it may be worth investing in a home water filter just to be safe (see page 43 for a list of effective filters on the market). For rural inhabitants, the story

40 41 isn’t so encouraging. As China gradually pushes factories out of its metropolises and into the countryside, crucial sources of fresh water are running amok with manmade toxins. It’s an intuitive concept – the closer one lives to factories, the more likely one’s tap water is drawn from a questionable source. That could mean a higher risk of cancer-inducing byproducts that arise when chlorine – which is used to treat the water – reacts with organic chemicals from agricultural and industrial discharge. “We put far too much chlorine into our water,” shrugs Dr. Shaobin Huang, professor of environmental engineering at the College of Environment and Energy of South China University of Technology. “It’s cheaper than using ozone disinfection, but chlorine is a corrosive matter. If it is strong enough to fight bacteria and certain chemicals, then it can also fight against our bodies.” Organic chemical runoff from farms and factories is expensive to treat properly, but small towns and villages – the new homes of China’s major industrial plants – lack capital to deal with the problem. The tendrils of polluted water don’t stop there. Guangdong’s rural districts also house most of its farmers, meaning that substandard tap water (and even groundwater) is being used to cultivate fruits and vegetables consumed by millions each year. Food safety, in other words, goes hand in hand with the effective treatment of rural water.

DRY ROAD AHEAD

SOURCES OF WATER

uangzhou collected its drinking water from the Pearl River throughout the 90s, but by 2004, the water had grown too contaminated. New plans to construct Zhujiang New Town and Guangzhou University Town further persuaded the city to reach outward and retrieve water from Xijiang, Beijiang and Dongjiang. Today, the Pearl River still tests “extremely bad” – or at Level V/V for surface water – despite the fact that the mayor insists on taking a dip every spring to prove otherwise. By comparison, surface water must test at or above Levels I-II before it can be considered as a source for drinking water.

xperts predict that if business continues as usual, China’s demand for water will exceed total supply by 2030. According to China Water Risk, the Chinese government has said it will spend nearly RMB4 trillion – or USD628 billion – between 2011 and 2020 to safeguard fresh water. The future fate of China’s water balances on a variety of factors – pollution, utilization of recycled water, power sources and climate change. This year’s so-called “Water Ten Plan” addresses three of the above issues, unveiling a “Three Red Line” approach to control total water use, improve usage efficiency and prevent and control pollution. Currently, most provinces in China reuse about 10 percent of their water, dumping sewage

Shenzhen, Huizhou and Hong Kong obtain water from the East River (Dongjiang), while Guangzhou primarily relies on the west tributary (Xijiang) and the northern arm (Beijiang), near Panyu. “We see these municipal governments bicker over water every year,” smirks Zhou. “You have huge cities like Hong Kong and Shenzhen sharing the end of one tributary. Guangzhou gets all of its water from outside the city borders but never offers subsidies to the regions it takes from.” Since the rivers all flow towards the South China Sea, any pollution that occurs in the north – in Guangxi or Hunan, for example – will affect the quality of water downstream in Guangdong.

and waste into nearby waterways instead. This latest policy will require cities in water scarce regions to reuse 20 percent of recycled water by 2020. In the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, that rate should reach 30 percent. In addition to recycling water, the government is determined to protect fresh water at its source. Until now, China has overwhelmingly followed in the footsteps of the US – treating water retrospectively while continuing to pollute it. Protecting fresh water sources, however, is China’s only hope to reverse water deficits in a cost-effective, timely manner. A third major challenge facing the nation’s water treatment is power. China’s water is bound in a catch-22 with energy production, whereby power requires water and water requires power during treatment, transport and distribution. As

A THIRSTY SHENZHEN

n September of this year, Coco Liu of the Wilson Center’s Environmental Change and Security Program published an eye-opening report on Shenzhen’s water shortage. Statistics from the government put Shenzhen in the top 10 most water-scarce cities in China, with residents allotted less than 160 cubic metes of water per person in 2010 – or one-fifth of the United Nations’ definition of absolute scarcity (500 cubic meters). Although set in a subtropical river delta that experiences heavy monsoons each year, Shenzhen ironically lacks water, because no major rivers run through its border. On top of that, poor treatment of discharged wastewater has led to heavy pollution in seasonal creeks, tainting local drinking water. Historically, the young city met persistent drought, including a three-year dry spell that occurred in the early 90s at the onset of urban development. To combat its water shortage, Shenzhen invested millions in 2001 to divert water from the Dongjiang, which soon became a lifeline for the city. Five years later, officials decided to expand the project, constructing 106 kilometers of pipes, tunnels and pumping stations to satisfy 70 percent of Shenzhen’s water demand. In recent years, however, closer examination of the Dongjiang diversion scheme has shown its costs outweigh gains. Moving so much water requires significant energy. Since a majority of Shenzhen’s energy is generated by coal-fired power plants, massive water diversion would spark dangerously high emissions and unwelcome smog. Today, the city still relies heavily on the Dongjiang, but the government is shifting its focus towards the use of reclaimed water. New wastewater recycling factories are popping up across the landscape. Shenzhen currently leads the nation with nearly 60 percent of its wastewater processed for reuse. Demand for water, however, continues to climb. Officials have mentioned plans to transfer water from the Xijiang – Guangzhou’s main source – located nearly two hundred kilometers away from Futian. Yet cost, energy requirements and qualms over emissions will likely prove too great to bother.

stated in China Water Risk’s report 'Towards a Water & Energy Secure China' published earlier this year, 93 percent of China’s power generation is water-reliant. Coal-related industries and plants are estimated to account for half of total industrial water use in China. Other sources of power – including hydro, nuclear, solar and wind – bring separate water risks of their own. Finding a sustainable

WHO’S IN CHARGE?

he answer varies by province, city, district and village. Guangzhou and Shenzhen, two of the wealthiest municipalities in the country, rely almost exclusively on state-run treatment plants. Smaller cities like Dongguan and Foshan, however, encourage local, private companies to build rudimentary plants in the face of limited government funding. Across the country, financially strained administrations tend to be more willing to embrace privatization and outsourcing. In Lanzhou, the capital of China’s second poorest province, French company Veolia facilitates most of the city’s water. Fujian, the province directly east of Guangdong, sees about half of its water managed by foreign companies. “The government is encouraging private capitals’ involvement in wastewater treatment projects,” says Feng Hu, head of development and projects at China Water Risk. “Both central and provincial governments have issued various policies to encourage private investment. In April 2015, the Ministry of Environmental Protection and the Ministry of Finance issued the ‘Implementing Opinions to Promote PPP in Water Pollution Prevention & Control’ to prioritize such projects and provide financial support.” Dubbed “Water Ten Plan” for short, the new policy welcomes foreign investment and cooperation, although full participation – especially on the supply side – still faces resistance. From the experience of one leading US equipment manufacturer who supplies to over 60 countries worldwide, penetrating the Chinese market took more than 10 years. “We first attempted to enter the China market in the late 80s with one of our product brands. Our first successful project was in the early 90s, although consistent business didn't begin to materialize until after 2000," says their Asia sales manager. "Chinese customers have very high expectations in our industry. With the continuous development of local competitors of our products, we are driven to prove our value to the customers.” In their experience, some keys to success in China are local representation, customer service, design and field service support and maintaining consistent contact with design institutes and contractors. Today, their primary markets are in the provinces along the eastern seaboard, in addition to reaching as far south and west as Sichuan and Yunnan, and all the way to Heilongjiang province in the north.

power solution in the midst of dwindling water reserves is one of the greatest impasses China will confront this century. Climate change will also play a pivotal role, as extreme weather events grow more common and disturb trends in water use, infrastructure and climate patterns. Heavy reliance on coal has already exacerbated China’s carbon emissions. Around the world,

evidence of climate-induced water scarcity is growing, with Sao Paolo, Brazil, as the most cited example. For China, the way forward is hazy. The best solution will be one that does little harm to the environment while still meeting the demands of a modernizing society. The public is well aware of the problem – a 2014 survey by the Ministry of Environmental Protection found 86.8 percent of Chinese are “highly concerned” over drinking water and food safety – but knowledge of water conservation and safety is far less pervasive. And unlike the vast majority of risks facing China and the international community, a water supply crisis does not loom on some distant horizon. It waits within our lifetime, as far away as our pace decides.

AQUA A-LIST Sifting through the best filters

race yourselves: tap water in China is actually held to stricter standards than bottled water. We don’t recommend you stick your head under the sink and guzzle up, but before you go broke splurging on Watsons costly jugs, consider investing in

a home water filter instead. You’ll save cash and rack up major karma points for being environmentally friendly. To help our readers in this intimidating endeavor, we compiled an exhaustive list of the top water filters on the market. When in doubt, remember to take it slow. The slower the filtration method, the more effective.

Pitcher filters: Though a popular choice, pitcher filters are one of the most expensive options, as the pricey cartridges require frequent replacement. Utilizing GAC (granulated activated carbon), pitcher sieves only remove some chlorine and hydrogen sulfide and cannot effectively reduce all VOCs, metals, pesticides or fluoride. Rating: Average Try: Laica, Brita, Philips (RMB200-500 on Tmall) Reverse osmosis filters: These units rely on a membrane that removes contaminants from water in conjunction with a GAC to eliminate chlorine. Considered to be very effective at trapping pollutants, reverse osmosis filters are a foolproof solution. Rating: Very good Try: A.O. Smith AR series (RMB6,0009,000 on Tmall); Tap Master TMAFC, APEC Water 5-Stage RO System, iSpring RO System (USD160-350 on Amazon)

Distillers: With a distiller, untreated water is converted into water vapor and then condensed back into liquid form. Most of the contaminants are left behind in a boiling chamber, while the resulting condensed water is free of arsenic, asbestos, pesticides, fluoride, lead, mercury, nitrate, TCE, radium, radon and bacteria. Rating: Excellent Try: Aubox 蒸馏水机 (RMB300-530 on Tmall); Waterwise 4000, Megahome Countertop Distiller (USD200-300 on Amazon)

Under counter/sink filters: Unlike simple faucet or countertop filters (which don’t remove many contaminants), under counter filters are more comprehensive and can remove lead and heavy metals, chlorine, E. coli and more. Rating: Good Try: Philips, 3M Filtrete, GE, Pentair, Litree (立升) (RMB1,100-3,000 on Tmall)

Gravity-fed filters: One of the best options on the market, gravity-fed filters are excellent at removing chlorine, chlorination byproducts, fluoride, VOCs, pesticides, particulates and pharmaceuticals. Able to operate without electricity, these units clean water as it drips down from an upper chamber to a lower chamber. Rating: Excellent Try: Berkey (USD228-650 on www. berkeyfilters.com), ProPur (USD190 on www.gopropur.com) Shower filters: Showering allows some water to seep through your skin and orifices. If you live in a rural part of China or an extremely old apartment, consider buying a shower fixture that filters out excess chlorine and other byproducts. Rating: Good Try: 3M, Honeywell HBF-W shower filter (RMB240-400 on Tmall); Sprite HOB-CM Brass Shower Filter (USD93 on Amazon) Whole-house filtration: Those who prefer to shower, wash produce and do laundry using filtered water should consider purchasing a whole-house filtration system. After an initial investment, these systems can last up to 12 months before needing filter replacement. Rating: Excellent Try: Pentair (RMB8,880+ on Tmall); A.J. Antunes (brand used by Starbucks and McDonald’s in China: USD1,150+ on ajantunes.com)

ruits and vegetables (like humans) are what they eat. Whereas processed foods aren’t directly affected by the quality of water used in their production, fresh fruits and veggies soak up all the nutrients – and pollutants – from the water and soil where they grow. In Guangdong province, many rural farms use subpar tap water or groundwater to treat fields. Over time, invisible contaminants such as trace metals and bacteria seep into the roots and stalks of vegetables. Even organic produce could encounter untreated water and host a range of pollutants as a result. “In the short term, you cannot tell the influence, but we know the air

PATH TO POWER Water grabbing through dams By Christine Gilbert

pic yet quiet, spanning continents, costing billions of dollars and affecting environmental, socio-economic and industrial sectors around the world, the race for water began long ago — and China had a head start. According to Robert Gusentine’s op-ed ‘China’s Water Grab’ in the Washington Times , “‘Oriental despotism’ arose in Asia because of the need in China and elsewhere to control the water supply.” In order to hydrate the masses, the Middle Kingdom has embarked on a mission of “water grabbing” for centuries – or land grabbing with water rights as the main incentive. In 2005, the International Water Management Institute projected that by 2025, 1.8 billion people would live in water-scarce areas – including China. The message was clear, and both the government and private companies began seeking ways to capitalize on water both inside and outside the country’s borders. Though protested, one of the largest national water projects in the world was eventually approved, the Three Gorges Dam, displacing 1.3 million villagers and dredging up a heap of sediment and controversy as it opened its floodgates in 2009. The colossal structure sits atop the Yangtze River, covering 1,045 square kilometers in Hubei province. In January, Xinhua reported the dam as beating the previous world record for hydropower generation, saying it generated more than

98.8 billion kilowatt-hours (kwh) of electricity in 2014 – the equivalent of over 11 nuclear reactors in terms of energy output. While the dam reduces coal consumption by millions of tons a year, increases the Yangtze’s barge capacity and significantly lowers the transportation costs of consumer goods, it has garnered criticism for its displacement of 1.3 million people and unprecedented flooding of farmlands, factories and mines over 632 square kilometers of land. Additionally, NASA pointed out early on that the project would slow the rotation of the earth slightly. Dams are one of the most common and impactful forms of water grabbing. China plans to continue this approach of collecting water by building dams in the Himalayas on the Tibetan Plateau. As Gusentine observed, “The Tibetan Plateau and surrounding Himalayas hold the headwaters of many of the continent’s largest rivers, including the Yellow, Yangtze, Mekong, [and] Ganges… all of which combine to supply fresh water to nearly half the world’s population.” The Mekong winds through Burma, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam. China commissioned their first dam of the Mekong in 1992, and today has several along the river in Yunnan province. In 2013, the Guardian reported Indian geopolitical analyst Brahma Chellaney as saying about China’s presence in the region: "China is engaged in the greatest water grab in history. Not only is it damming the rivers on

the plateau, it is financing and building megadams in Pakistan, Laos, Burma and elsewhere and making agreements to take the power," meaning the race for water often gets tied to the race for energy. In Africa, the water-energy combo has become one of the most socio-politically debated issues between countries, with Chinese entities playing an important role: bankrolling. Both the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China and the China Development Bank have given loans of USD500 million each to back Ethiopia's Gibe III Dam. Water experts from various research and conservation groups, like NGO International Rivers, have warned of the devastating effects to the lake and local people if completed – even going so far as to compare it to the destruction of the Aral Sea. After completion, the dam will power the third largest hydroelectric power plant in Africa, doubling Ethiopia’s previous power supply to output 1,870 megawatts. While the dam was planned to power not only Ethiopia but Kenya, Sudan and Djibouti, no power purchase agreements have been signed. With lack of transparency about the project conducted in a region already prone to conflict (and full of armed inhabitants), the future is murky, despite the energy benefits of Gibe III. For now, the world looks to oil to sustain itself, but indications of the struggle for water have already began to surface, with China continuing to prepare for that time.

WATER WARS

he statistic is well known – only 2.5 percent of the Earth’s water is freshwater – but how will that seemingly trivial fact thrust our world into war? Experts suggest a geographical mismatch in natural resources and demand will fuel desperate conflict in the future. China – which houses 20 percent of the world’s population but only 7 percent of its fresh water – is a prime example. Between 2010 and 2030, China plans to add 1.2 terawatts of water-reliant power – equivalent to adding the combined total installed capacity of the US, the UK and Australia. Yet with seven provinces suffering water deficits and dozens of cities approaching the World Bank’s water poverty mark, China will soon be forced to find additional rivers to source its mandate. Natural rivers, however, do not yield to the artificial boundaries of nation states. Eight countries see their prized waterways pass through the mainland, creating fear and controversy over China’s choice of sites for future diversion projects. In April 2015, the Diplomat published an article describing how China’s alleged plans to harness the waters of the Brahmaputra River could wreak havoc in India and Bangladesh, two riparian states located downstream. Two months later, the media outlet retracted its statement, clarifying, “Chinese policymakers eventually decided to halt further discussion about the Grand Western Water Diversion Plan (which mentions diverting water from the Brahmaputra River) and approved a less radical proposal that would link the upstream Yangtze and Yellow rivers.” Experts at China Water Risk agree, noting that the only official government proposal includes harnessing water from the upper reaches of the Yangtze

River. Still, the non-profit organization maintains that China “may have no choice but to dam the tributaries of transboundary rivers for hydropower in the drive for energy security.” India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Thailand and Vietnam are among the nations with rivers that start in China. Around the world, dozens of countries are undergoing water crises imparted by rapid climate change, population growth and a rising demand for meat – which requires a significant amount of water for production. Karachi, Pakistan, saw protests over water shortages earlier this year, while 20 million residents in Sao Paulo, Brazil, have been forced to go without running water for days at a time. California is entering its fourth year of severe drought and worst dry spell in twelve hundred years, compelling citizens to swap their gardens for artificial turf and farmers to abandon their crops.

There is no question that water shortages plague a majority of global powers, but will that be enough to incite brutal warfare? In the past, cooperation over transboundary water resources has proved more common than military action. Israel and Jordan, for example, share access to the Jordan River, which begins in Syria and forms a natural border between the two nations. Over the last 50 years, the river’s annual flow has dipped from 1.3 billion cubic meters to less than 30 million cubic meters. In 2013, after years of cross-national negotiations, the Israeli Water Authority agreed to pump water regularly from Lake Kinneret into the lower Jordan River – a decision that will benefit both nations. Diplomacy has worked in the past, but a global water supply crisis would bring desperate levels of resource disparity. In a thirsty world, impetus for war may not rest in reason, but in the will to survive.

Parenting vs. Paranoia

When ignorance is bliss by Lena Gidwani

y name is Lena Gidwani, and I’m a paranoid parent. I’m constantly wracked by fear and kept awake by doomsday scenarios of escalators swallowing my children whole. I am also convinced that along this arduous journey called parenting, I will somehow miss the vital indication that my offspring are in grave danger. Experts say that kids – any kids – are far more likely to be hit by a passing car or scalded by hot water than randomly kidnapped or have their organs removed. But it’s the latter that freaks me out the most. When did I get so paranoid? When did I start seeing hazards in every corner? When did I start to stop my kids playing out in the parks by themselves or walking to the main gate of my apartment building to catch their school bus? Now, just to make myself feel good, I take pleasure in telling everyone that my little ones know how to use the iPad better than me; that they’ve seen just about all those nonsensical shows on the Cartoon Network in their selfappointed playroom. Note that these are all indoor, couch-potato activities, and yes, most of it involves no collaborative play. While I’m not alone in my fears, it doesn’t mean I’m thinking clearly. On a recent flight back to China, I buried myself in a stimulating book penned some 14 years ago by Frank Furedi. Titled Paranoid Parenting: Why Ignoring the Experts May Be Best for Your Child, it documents the growing

October 2015 / GZ / www.thatsmags.com

Kids are far more likely to be hit by a passing car or scalded by hot water than randomly kidnapped or have their organs removed tendency to extend adult supervision into every aspect of children’s lives, claiming that virtually every experience associated with early life now comes with a health warning. And Mr. Furedi is right. Child protection crusaders have declared that kids are more at risk than ever before, as the dangers that they once faced offline, such as strangers luring them away with fluffy candy, are now online, making even their desks unsafe. As a result, especially during the past decade or two, the banning of a variety of activities or actions associated with our traditional juvenescence has acquired a relentless dynamic. Take the proliferation of the ‘no touch’ rule for example, introduced to prevent adults coming into direct physical contact with youngsters. Even those working in an early-years educational setting feel that their actions are constantly under public scrutiny. While many

agree with the rule, most of us will also concur that there’s nothing quite like a comforting hug to make those inevitable boo-boos go away. The same experts that warn of these dangers also, as noted by Furedi, say that the best way to protect children is to cultivate their aspiration for independence and autonomy. They claim that through the experience gained from engaging with the world, our offspring gain the inner strength and resources to manage risks and develop strategies for dealing with external threats to their personhood. So paradoxically, in the current climate, parents are discouraged from doing precisely what is likely to provide their kids with the existential security they need to make their way in the world. Therefore, Paranoid Parenting argues, parents must learn to have confidence in their own judgments to enable themselves to bring up self-assured, imaginative, capable sons and daughters, all whilst attempting to block out noise from those experts who claim to know it all, but essentially know nothing about your child. My 12-hour plane journey resulted in plenty of thought-provoking confab with my significant other, to say the least. My spouse claimed that my excessive reliance on imported products and disdain of parks, buildings built in less than six months, public bathrooms and taxis was the root of our problem. Bacteria for thought, indeed. My name is Lena Gidwani, and I’m just a parent.

Causes and treatments for sterility and infertility by Dr. Djobo Clemence

n recent years, due to environmental and ecological influences, life stress and later childbearing age, there are a growing number of couples with infertility problems. Incidence of infertility in the United States is 8.4 percent, around the same as in Northern Europe, while in developing countries, it’s between 10 and 30 percent. In China, one out of 10 couples of childbearing age has fertility difficulties.

Main causes for infertility and sterility

While occasionally the reason for not being able to conceive may be unexplained, most of the time it comes down to several diagnosable complications: ovulation disorders, tubal disease, uterine and cervical factors, oligospermia and azoospermia, insufficient immune tolerance and reproductive tract or organ developmental abnormalities. Let’s look at the four most common: 1) Ovulation disorder: accounts for 25 to 35 percent of fertility problems. Anovulation is caused by ovulatory dysfunction, for which there are three main reasons. One is dysfunction of the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis. Another cause is ovarian lesions, such

as congenital ovarian dysplasia, polycystic ovary syndrome, premature ovarian failure, functional ovarian tumors and ovarian insensitivity syndrome. The last one is adrenal and thyroid dysfunction. 2) Tubal diseases: blocked or partially obstructed tubes account for 50 percent of sterility cases. Distal tube obstruction or mucosal damage caused by chronic salpingitis (neisseria gonorrhoeae, mycobacterium tuberculosis, chlamydia trachomatis) could lead to complete blockage of fallopian tubes, which in turn causes infertility. In addition, tubal hypoplasia, pelvic inflammatory disease sequelae and endometriosis can also lead to tubal infertility. 3) Uterine factors: uterine malformations, uterine submucosal fibroids, endometriosis, endometrial tuberculosis, endome-

trial polyps and intrauterine adhesions can affect implantation. 4) Male semen abnormality or congenital maldevelopment: men with the former problem usually have normal sexual function but abnormal sperm with congenital or acquired issues, manifested by lack of sperm, weak sperm, low sperm count, sperm development stagnation, abnormal sperm or semen liquefaction insufficiency. The latter is related to genital hypoplasia or erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation or even no ejaculation. As the causes and pathogeneses of infertility and sterility are quite complex and tricky, patients may have to go through a series of exams and tests before reaching a diagnosis. In many cases, we find causes that have no cure and therefore have to resort to reproductive technology. Thanks to the increased pregnancy rate facilitated by reproductive technology, however, many couples today are fortunate enough to be able to start a family. // For more information or a consultation, visit Guangzhou

EAt/drink GOSSIP China’s stock market has seen better days, but you wouldn’t know it out on the streets, where fresh establishments continue to invest in Guangzhou’s hottest strips. It’s been a while since we’ve wandered down the underground corridor of Mall of the World, but word has it the place is buzzing with at least 10 new shops, including a charming little Teddy Bear Café. Those keen on sweets can swing by Café Spoon and consider advising the owners to reinvent the name. Nearby, urban creative Zacup is making a statement with espresso beverages, polished Western fare and European antiques – hence the ‘za,’ or ‘miscellaneous.’ A few blocks away sits our new favorite hangout in town, Beer Hardcore (p65), which stocks its shelves with dozens of imported labels for a fair price. There’s also craft beer on tap and free foosball. Across the street on Xingsheng, we’ve seen signs for King Shawarma, serving up barbecued meat. After the October holiday, foreign-owned Rooster King plans to commence sales of its high-grade roasted chicken (to the dismay of popular Chicken Express). In the land of Yuexiu, Salala on Jianshe Liu is out of order. A secret source has tipped us off on its successor: a BBQ meat restaurant and bar with live entertainment on the top floor. This month, we tested a slice of Red House Pizza’s pie (p60), located down the road from the abandoned Mr. Pancho lot. Also, Lena shares her experience at startup Turkish locale Rose Pizza and Restaurant on page p63. And finally, to those inhabiting the expanse of Haizhu, we ask you for a moment of silence for the Standing Goose, which left us this past month for a better place. As hard as it is, don’t give up on the district just yet – JZ Club officially moved in at the end of September.

Off the Vine Beni di Batasiolo Barolo DOCG

ine of kings. As its regal moniker would suggest, Barolo has an august heritage. It originated in Piedmont, just prior to the fruition of the Risorgimento. According to the accepted history, a French wine consultant – yes, consultants were around even in the 19th century – was asked by a local ‘marchesa’ to make a noble wine from her nebbiolo grapes. So wonderful was his creation that the resulting drink became popular with the upper echelons of society, including Vittorio Emanuele II, the first king of unified Italy, and the Count of Cavour, the first prime minister of Italy.

Perhaps because of its storied past, the ‘correct’ method of making Barolo has been a fiercely debated issue. It even led to what is known as the Barolo Wars, a vituperative conflict between traditionalists and modernists on how best to create the wine. According to traditionalists, the original way is the only way: made solely from nebbiolo, then aged in Slovenian casks over a lengthy period of time. Modernists aren’t averse to adding other grape varieties to subtly alter the flavor and favor shortened maceration and fermentation. Today, most winemakers incorporate something old and something new. Beni di Batasiolo’s

Barolo, for instance, is aged in Slavonian oak casks for two years, before being transferred to stainless steel tanks for another 12 months. The garnet-colored wine is a sheer delight with red meats, game and roasts – just make sure to let it breathe for a good hour beforehand.

The ‘V’ Word

Veganism in the PRD by Bronwen Shelwell

lobally, the health food trend has changed how people think about food and the decisions they make about what to put in their bodies. A lot of attention has been placed on greater environmental awareness, as well as getting a balanced diet by including “superfoods” into regular meals. While comprehensive lists of superfoods vary, there are certain consistent definitions. The website health.com defines superfoods as being “nutrient powerhouses that pack large doses of antioxidants, polyphenols, vitamins and minerals,” the benefits of which can “reduce the risk of chronic disease and prolong life.” Notably, few items are meats; most fall in the vegetables, grains and legumes categories – edibles mostly associated with vegans. The vegan diet is often thought of as being complicated and restrictive, necessitating hours to prepare meals with specialized produce and leading to general weakness and lack of energy. Add an assumed constant hunger and the lifestyle seems overwhelming. Yet a thriving community of vegans lives right here in the PRD, a fact that is astonishing not only because of the presumed effort this kind of lifestyle requires, but also because it’s China, a place where most locals commonly say “meat” when asked their favorite kind of cuisine. We spoke to some of the delta’s trailblazers to find out how they maintain their vegan lifestyle and eat a balanced diet.

Mike Jordan

ew to Shenzhen and China, Jordan’s experience being vegan mirrors others living a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle for the first time in Asia. With limited Chinese, he found ordering in restaurants a major challenge. He recalls asking for a dish without meat, fish, eggs or milk and being met with vacant stares. Once, he was given an eggplant dish, but after two bites, realized there was fish inside. The confused waitress’s response to his complaint: “But fish isn’t meat right?” Though initially hugely frustrated, he acknowledges that as a foreigner in China he can’t expect people to understand him if he doesn’t speak the language. After losing a lot of weight and learning some simple Mandarin phrases, he is much more comfortable with navigating menus. He says he still gets little “gifts” of meat put on his food, but with some resourcefulness, can maintain a balanced diet. “I still love to cook at home and do so most of the time. I can get everything I need in China, and you are always certain about what has gone into your dish. Unfortunately, there is always a small sense of ambiguity in restaurants, and even some soy milk has cow’s milk powder in it!” Jordan says. More than anything else, he took up veganism because it fits into his philosophy of life. “I think it is a way of embracing life. It’s funny when people think it must be too difficult. It’s really just a different way of thinking. All you need is to be a little more creative.”

Siobhan Lumsden

Asher Marad

Born in Scotland and educated in South Africa, Siobhan Lumsden has lived in a meateating culture most of her life. As a child, however, Siobhan didn’t like meat and developed a bizarre cheese phobia, prompting her to become vegetarian. After moving to China, she committed to a vegan existence. The challenge was finding ways to balance her diet, since always ordering the same thing in restaurants wasn’t providing her with enough nutrients. She points out this can also be true of a meat eater’s diet. However, since discovering online shopping in China, with sites such as Nogogo.com and ShenzhenEat.com that deliver food and promote restaurants catering to vegan and vegetarian diets, she says her new direction has become much easier. Lumsden thinks that what is missing in China is a more health-conscious attitude. “It would be great if we could order brown rice and not have vegetables cooked with meat or in cheap, overused oil. It’s always disappointing if I can only order white rice and fried cabbage or something,” she says. For ingredients she can’t order online or pick up from local produce shops, she travels to Just Green in Hong Kong. There she stocks up on vegan protein powder, quinoa and other assorted grains and pulses. There are also specialized vegan vendors who have turned their lifestyle into a profitable business in the PRD. Stephanie Morris’ love for vegan smoothies blossomed into ice cream business Nomasté. Hanan Yariv’s passion for fine cooking and creative hummus dishes made him a sought-after caterer for select events with his The Healthy Chef foods, and Asher Marad started Guangzhou’s Go Vegan!

Before veganism, Marad ate whatever he liked, while remaining committed to maintaining a fit and healthy body. Over the years he experimented with various diets, trying to find the right one for his body, one which could give him the best balance between health, nutrition and sustainability. He realized, while deepening his knowledge of nutrition, that he needed diversity in what he ate; more combinations than a ‘regular’ diet could provide. After much research, Marad chose veganism. He believes it’s the best decision he ever made. The results he got after a few months inspired Marad to become a personal trainer and also create healthy, wellbalanced meals for his clients, who often complained they had no idea how to maintain the correct balance of nutrition for the workouts they were doing. He began making meals that were simple but packed full of everything their bodies needed. This act of practical kindness has expanded into a sustainable business, with a solid client base that he prepares eating plans for, a shop where he sells his base produce and a restaurant. Aside from the vegan lifestyle being something Marad works hard to promote, the moral and environmental issues surrounding a plant-based versus meat-based lifestyle are also important to him. Marad encourages others to do more research into the effects raising livestock is having on our planet and ecosystems. He also cites the moral issues of how these animals are treated as being a cause for his choice to “go vegan” – a reason many vegans cite for their conversion.

RED HOUSE PIZZA

Even you can make better Italian text and photos by Tristin Zhang

f bad reviews of an excellent bistro are posted on Yelp, they are probably done so under purported “review manipulation.” In this case, however, the following remarks reflect our sincere opinion that this place is abysmal. At most, it deserves one star for cleanliness. Walk by a parade of favorable restaurants on Jianshe Liu Malu, turn right down a pedestrian lane and you’ll spot Red House Pizza at the far end – a local joint run by people who ostensibly think very highly of Pizza Hut, which they have thus attempted to copy. But even in that conservative mission (we’re sorry to say), they have failed miserably. Upon entry, the decor strikes us as nothing but cheesy, with provisional touches here and there. The place is tidy enough, but only because it hasn’t been in business more than four weeks and sees sparse clientele. A menu smeared in

greasy fingerprints welcomes us into a world of photoshopped pizzas, all priced according to size. Given the name of the establishment, it seems fitting to try the Italy Red House pizza (9 inches, RMB58), their signature pie. Before we know it, a waitress is squeaking “please enjoy” and thrusting a wall of unnatural scent in our direction, disguised as an edible pizza. Upon a closer look, we find it loaded with limp squid arms, transparent shrimp, canned crabmeat, cuts of peppers, olives and junky cheese aimed at the least demanding of Chinese patrons. Overwhelmed with dressing, our next dish – the salami vegetable salad (RMB28) – tastes too salty, while the salami is not completely thawed. We have to wash it down with an oversweet mango milkshake (RMB22). If irritated by the food, you can always grab a Budweiser (RMB12) or Tsingtao

(RMB10) to cool yourself down. On top of pizzas, snacks and drinks, Red House’s menu highlights combos starting from RMB68 that help you save up to RMB88. But no deals that include mediocre add-ons are especially appealing. If in six months this parlor is still kicking around, it’s because the owner finally smartened up and carried out much needed innovations. Red House Pizza, if we can make better Italian than this, so can you. Price: Approx. RMB60 Who’s going: Hungry afterschool students, uninformed passersby Good for: Persuading you to like any other pizzeria

Keepoo Café and Bakery

Caked in sponge by LENA GIDWANI

here was a point, sometime in the early 2000s, when cupcakes made the transition from a dessert to the dessert, and soon, this simple, decorative treat was everywhere. No one is quite sure how it happened, or when – these things are difficult to track with accuracy, especially when one’s busy stuffing one’s face with sweet, calorific nothings. And then it followed the trajectory that all trends will in the end: innovation to ubiquity to cliche. Oh yes, you heard us. Cliche. Decked out in shades of industrial grey and Barbie pink with a notably perky name, Keepoo is bright, cheerful and sticks to the traditional cupcake shop norm. Frames depicting sweet cupcakes and pots of money plants hang around while a jewel case of 10 interestingly named flavors (from a repertoire of 30) wait to be touched, licked off and consumed whole for a mere RMB25. These gorgeous pockets, baked daily and served daintily by wait staff in Oliver Twist-type uniforms, look dense and

indulgent, but instead, they’re light as a cloud, not overly sweet, and filled with lush cream. Those seeking more robust varieties will love the touches of crunchy chocolate and cherries on sinful flavors like Teletubbies, Black Knight or Ferrero Rocher, which dons a hazelnut-infused swirly dollop of cream and is topped off with a nutty globe of its namesake. The touches of topped fruit and candy are also cute and great for selfie props; try the Minions, a mango and cream cupcake, or the Snow White, topped with strawberries and pink-tinged cream. If you were to dissect their offerings with the utmost of butter-knife precision, you would find these single serves are more finely tailored to the local palate. And judging by its owners – who also happen to run the ever-popular Lab Café and Bar down the road on Xingsheng Lu – you wouldn’t be wrong. Fresh cookies and mousses are also on offer, and macaroons – in four flavors like matcha and chocolate – retail for RMB18

each. The cafe sells about 200 cupcakes daily, an admirable feat considering they’ve just opened. Pizzas are also on the menu; the sausage pizza (RMB58) is thick and filling, while the durian (RMB58) masks its potent whiff with plenty of stringy cheese. Liquid lovers will enjoy the lemon blackcurrant special drink (RMB28), a slushy with mint and lemon thrown in for good measure, and the hot fruit tea (RMB38/pot). Adding to the list of options are smoothies, fresh juices, blended coffees and teas and, of course, plenty of sitting space for tete-a-tetes and last-minute exam cramming. The whole nine yards, you say? Indeed, just like all the other coffee and cake shops springing up around town. Price: RMB25-50 Who’s going: Dessert queens who like sweets with a flourish Good for: Selfies with cupcakes, coffee and high tea dates

Ch’an Town

Harvest of gold

text and photos by Jocelyn Richards

he stately foyer of Ch’an Town beckons us past an imperial red throne towards a wall of shelved oddities – Jiangxi tea oil, crooked fungi, canisters of tea leaves and organic eggs. All at once, we’re back in 20th-century Guangdong, surveying the exotic culinary repertoire that explorer Joseph Needham would have witnessed in his travels. Available by reservation for private parties only, the restaurant is a satellite shop of Jiangxi Qianxin Agricultural Company – a massive 100,000-acre farm in southern Jiangxi that hosts flocks of free-range chickens, tea fields and bamboo forests. With all the makings of a museum, the spacious hall encircles a pair of elevated rosewood chairs valued at more than 1 million yuan. Vases of violet orchids accent a dark interior, lit only by windows on the far side of a glass-encased kitchen. “They designed it all wrong,” Patrick Lai, manager of two months, repeats as he leads us past the front hall. Framed awards scatter a table at the head of the room – records of Lai’s prowess in international hotel management. Whispers of perfection rise from the floorboards. As we maneuver behind a folding screen brushed with dainty cranes, an immaculate

October 2015 // GZ // www.thatsmags.com

dining area shifts into focus. Crystal glasses, branded china and titanium flatware adorn each place setting. The quality alone, says Lai, warrants the steep rate of at least RMB300 per person for a minimum party of 10 per booking. He would prefer to know his guests, since, understandably, every piece of furniture in the shop costs as much as an apartment in the heart of Zhujiang. Chefs are well versed in Chinese, French and Italian fusion, pumping out exclusive recipes and presentations that are rarely repeated more than once. There is no menu; guests are asked to request a type of cuisine upon reservation. Only the finest natural oils and sauces are wielded in the cooking process – MSG, chicken powder and manmade additives are forbidden. In the past, Ch’an Town has prepared pre-wrapped Beijing duck, stuffed softshelled crab with iced greens and rosemary kung fu chicken. Soups are brewed with water tapped from bamboo stalks. Steamed eggs and chicken from the farm find their way into every meal, while fine teas await guests after dessert. Imported wines, starting at RMB288 per bottle, promise the night won’t remain as rigid as the decor. Outside, lush grass leads to a curtained patio, where Lai offers barbecued burgers,

steaks and grilled vegetables once cooler weather arrives. On our way out, we snap a final photo of the courtyard. “The design is all wrong,” Lai chirps again. But it looks pretty flawless to us. Price: Minimum RMB300/pax, 10-person booking Who’s going: Lai’s inner circles, consuls general Good for: Exclusive events, impressive dinner parties

Rose Pizza and Restaurant

A thorny start By Lena Gidwani

quick ride from the main drag of Huanshi Dong Lu and Taojin Lu takes you to Taihegang. Popular with the Russian, Indian and Middle Eastern communities, this residential area is renowned for late-night eats and shisha. At the relatively early hour of 9pm, the only people in just-opened Rose Pizza and Restaurant are the staff, a few men with bushy salt-and-pepper moustaches chatting away and a man sucking languidly on a shisha pipe. Expectations high, we ramble in and take our places. Following its name, the decor resembles a rose cottage or Victorian home. An outdoor patio area for al-fresco dining is accented by faux carpet grass and lime-green cushions to match, while floor-to-ceiling windows reflect natural light off while walls and ivory furniture partitioned by more faux flowers. On the second floor, private rooms await to seat 40. Airy and elegant, the interior vibe is

nothing like its menu. Covering almost half the table, the tacky black volume features common Turkish dishes such as pide and kebabs, with Western favorites like pizzas, pastas, salads, soups and breakfast items rounding it out. Those with myopia needn’t worry; each glossy page features a photograph of a dish that’s been colossally enlarged, so by the time you’re done flipping though, your eyeballs will be overwhelmed with images. Fatush (RMB28) – a traditional salad of lettuce, tomato, cucumber, olives and bell peppers – is served with crunchy bits of fried dough. It’s palatable, but nothing out of the ordinary. We order their specialty, a seafood pizza, but it doesn’t turn up, and neither does the mushroom soup, hummus or baba ghanoush. Stomachs grumbling for sustenance, we settle on mains but are left disheartened; the chicken wings (RMB68) are unseasoned, the lamb chops (RMB78) are overcooked and tough, and the lamb kebab (RMB78) is rolled too thick, making it unsavory and uninviting.

Opt instead for the cheese pide (RMB38), a mouthwatering base of crusty dough topped with melted cheese to sate your hunger. It pairs especially well with cups of steaming black tea and fresh mint. Call it opening jitters if you must, but if you’re expecting this new entrant to come up roses anytime soon, it could be the sweet, alluring shisha smoke in the air that’s tinting your vision. Or maybe we should have come at midnight like everyone else. Price: RMB100 Who’s going: Overworked businessmen, night owls, shisha lovers Good for: Late-night neighborhood eats, pizza deliveries

C Lounge

Theme-less oblivion Text and photos by Jocelyn Richards

oving through the maze of stained patio umbrellas propped up around Xingsheng Lu, we spot the barren logo of C Lounge – another KTV-inspired cocktail lounge with an out-of-place menu. Japanese salmon sashimi salad (RMB39), sauteed foie gras with grapefruit (RMB48) and garlic bread (RMB18) are obscurely grouped together on one page listed “salads.” Even the owner seems baffled about what type of cuisine he serves, guessing it must be German. So much for targeting a niche market. The outdoor seating area is underwhelming, mimicking every other on the street. One single shisha pipe lays arbitrarily in a corner of the terrace, likely for decoration or to get people in the door. Tired of our own repetitive musings, we move deeper into the establishment to check out C Lounge’s air-conditioned interior.

October 2015 // GZ // www.thatsmags.com

The mood instantly changes. A stunning stage backed by cobalt constellations and three widescreen televisions feels a better fit for one of Guangzhou’s upscale clubs. The weekly schedule, however, brings C Lounge back to earth. A Chinese soloist is set to perform each Wednesday, followed by a keyboardist and vocalist on Fridays and light Western pop on Saturday nights after 9. With well-controlled speakers, this is a bar suited to chatting – not yelling – with friends. Dancers should probably party elsewhere. Inspired once more to take a seat, we order a glass of chardonnay (RMB48), a towering Stella (RMB50), served flat, and a mocktail – mostly because it swanks the name Pussyfoot (RMB48). Made with freshly squeezed grapefruit, the beverage starts sour on the palate but ends in a refreshing kick. The fried oyster with balsamic (RMB38) is presented beautifully, with a thin layer of crispy breadcrumbs bathed in light vinaigrette over romaine – a startling feat

considering the range of dishes on its menu. To complement a glass of wine, the fruit and cheese platter (RMB68) performs up to par with imported blue cheese, Brie and sharp cheddar. As an added bonus, the fruit is carved into one of those snaking figurines generally reserved for KTV parlors. Overall, though, quality well exceeds our expectations. Lost in the shuffle, C Lounge is rounding out its third month in business, though we saw only one other patron when we visited. Just remember it as the place with live music three nights a week – and every type of cuisine under the sun. Price: RMB100 Who’s going: Shiny-shoed computer programmers, low-key creative types Good for: Mocktails, live keyboard, soloists and folk

Beer Hardcore

Put on your game face by Matthew Bossons

eer Hardcore is the newest edition to Guangzhou’s growing craft beer scene. Located in Liede across from Xingsheng Lu, the half-store, half-bar adds hometown feel to Zhujiang’s impersonal setting. Similar in many ways to the celebrated ‘beer store’ just off Jianshe Liu Malu, this up-and-coming bar sets itself apart from other bottle shops by offering draft pints of its signature craft beer varieties. Presently, Beer Hardcore brews 10 styles

of suds, although no more than four are on tap at any one time. For first-timers checking out the site, we suggest you dabble in the bitter range and try Hardcore’s pale ale or IPA (RMB35). Simultaneously flavorful and smooth, they are sure to delight even the most stuck up of beer snobs. If local craft beer on tap isn’t your thing, the store also stocks over 70 bottles of imported wheat, stout, porter and amber ale from such notable craft powerhouses as Rogue Ales and BrewDog (RMB20-50). Available beer varieties are listed on a chalkboard inside Beer Hardcore’s snug interior. Be sure to have a look when you visit to see what’s new on tap. Open for almost three months, this lowkey establishment has more to offer curious patrons than expertly brewed beer. The barslash-bottle-shop also boasts a decent sized patio, free peanuts (standard for bars, but a beer store?) and an outdoor foosball table. The highly coveted game alone is effective at drawing boisterous crowds, and on any

given night you’ll find swarms of foosball and beer enthusiasts huddled around the action. If you’re looking for a challenge, drink a beer or two, face off against a Beer Hardcore staff member in a match and do your best not to suffer an embarrassing defeat. The boys behind the bar are pretty good. Go for the beer, stay for the foosball; or the other way around – whatever pings your pong. Price: Approx. RMB40 Who’s going: Ex-foosball pros, craft beer buffs Good for: The labels you can’t find on Xingsheng Lu

OCTOBER 10-11

Interview with Jukka-Pekka Saraste, Principal Conductor of the WDR Symphony Orchestra Cologne Jukka-Pekka Saraste is one of Finland’s preeminent conductors. A master in exploring the depth and essence of classical music, the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra, Scottish Chamber Orchestra and BBC Symphony Orchestra have all played under his magic wand. Principal conductor of the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra for 14 years, Saraste came to China for the first time in 1985. He’s been back several times since, observing the change in the classical scene, and this year sees him leading two nights of complete Brahms bliss. We spoke to the Finn ahead of his performance with the WDR Symphony Orchestra Cologne on October 10 and 11. You have been visiting China since 1980s. How has the classical music environment changed? Compared to 30 years ago, China’s music education has developed to a great extent. When I was conducting the orchestra from a Chinese music school in 2008, its members struck me as of very high level. The audiences of Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou in particular are enthusiastic. Of course, in some venues you would find more professional audiences. Xinghai Concert Hall is among one of them, which left me an impression that it is one of the best concert halls in China. The WDR Symphony Orchestra Cologne will perform the complete symphonies of Johannes Brahms in China. Why did you decide to do this and how has it changed your preparation? It was our Chinese host that suggested this idea, which we thought was great. We have been performing Johannes Brahms’ work and have the confidence to complete it well. Apart from regular practices, we had arranged some concerts where we performed Brahms as preparation for this Asia tour.

What are your personal thoughts on what makes Brahms popular? I have much respect for this German composer. He is considered the successor of Beethoven regarding the composition of symphonies. But at the same time, he had his personal musical language. While remaining classical in form, he delivered a romantic speech in his composition. In my opinion, people of our time will experience either positive or negative emotions toward his music, considering we’re complex modern human beings. You’ve been with the WDR several years now as principal conductor. What have been your primary goals during this time? I think the communication between an orchestra and its conductor is important. The key is to find that intersection where the characters of the two merge. My expectation is to keep up the good work we are doing together. My responsibility is to broaden the repertoire of WDR to include not only works from the past composers but to explore those of our time. I hope that, through concert tours such as this time in China and Korea, our performance can be witnessed by an increasing audience and our name heard by the world. You wrote a book called Conductors. Are you interested in becoming a writer as well? My profession is conducting. I would love to exchange ideas with others about music and conducting. I want more people to know about conducting. This is why I wrote the book. // The WDR Symphony Orchestra Cologne is performing on October 10-11 at the Xinghai Concert Hall, 33 Qingbo Lu, Ersha Island, Yuexiu District 越秀区二沙岛晴波路33号 (8735 2222 ext. 886)

Exhibition: Atonal-Multimedia Art by Gigi Lee, 10am-7pm (close on Monday), MOP5. Macau Museum of Art (www.mam.gov.mo) Atonal is an abstract, multimedia work immersing visitors in an experience of sound and light. Atonal music largely refers to compositions that do not conform to the system of tonal hierarchies that characterized classical European music, breaking the Western music rule of 24 major and minor keys. Lacking a tonal center, it creates an out-of-focus listening mode, thus comparable to abstract painting, defying traditional aesthetics.

The Garden Hotel

Executive Chef from Sunny California The Garden Hotel, Guangzhou is proud to welcome Chef Robert Conaway as its new Western executive chef. With more than 27 years of experience, Chef Conaway, a native of San Diego, specializes in American regional, Italian, PanAsian and steakhouse cuisine. Trained as a child in his grandmother’s kitchen, Chef Conaway learned to prepare the favorite meals of his family and friends. Growing up near Mexico exposed Conaway to a world of bustling local food markets, where just-picked produce and live seafood allowed him to prepare the freshest meals imaginable. “I was definitely influenced to some degree by Mexican cuisine. It helped my palate embrace spicy foods,” Conaway jokes. Striving for authenticity and sophisticated simplicity in his recipes, Chef Conaway succeeds in preserving the original flavor of each ingredient. His signature dishes incorporate rich flavors and a balanced, vivid presentation that evokes the sunny shores of his home state. A graduate of California’s renowned Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts, Chef Conaway further honed his skills in the kitchens of the founding fathers of California cuisine, including Chef Jeremiah Tower (Stars) and Chef Bradley Ogden (Lark Creek Inn). He has also traveled the world, attending a culinary school in Thailand to experiment with local techniques before working in Dubai and Vietnam among other diverse countries. At The Garden Hotel, Guangzhou, Chef Conaway is revamping the menus with a few of his famous dishes, including crab cakes, wild mushroom pasta, lamb loin with mint jelly, lobster bisque with truffle foam and succulent scallops. He brings his extensive knowledge to provide an unforgettable Californian cuisine dining experience for the food connoisseurs of Guangzhou. // The Garden Hotel, Guangzhou, 368 Huanshi Dong Lu, Yuexiu District 越秀区环市东路368号广州花园酒店 (8333 8989)

ENTER THE DRAGAN

Former Yugoslavian star hopes to breathe fire into a lackluster side by Matt Horn

t is fair to say that there is rarely a dull moment for the followers of Guangzhou’s two Chinese Super League teams, a fact underlined by another frenetic month of activity on and of the pitch. As Fuli welcomed a true footballing legend as their new manager, Evergrande was going top of the table as well as moving into the semi-finals of the Asian Champions League for only the second time. The legend that has moved into the Fuli hot seat is former Yugoslavia and Serbia star Dragan Stojković – and the seat is getting hotter by the week. Caretaker boss Li Bing’s tenure in charge was short-lived, although ironically his last game in charge was a rare victory. But in the break in the league program, the club moved to bring in another big name, with Stojković taking the reins

sense of continuity, but a 2-1 defeat in his first game in charge was a reminder of the task facing Stojković. The club was just two places and one point ahead of the drop zone going into last month’s derby clash with Hengda. Guangzhou’s top team certainly went into that match in better heart following two big results. Firstly, they returned to the top of the CSL table with a 3-0 victory over closest rivals Shanghai SIPG, a victory all the sweeter as it dented the hopes of former Fuli boss Sven Goran Eriksson claiming the crown in his first season in charge, A few days later a wonder strike from midfielder Huang Bowen was enough to earn a 1-1 draw against Kashiwa Reysol to get Luiz Felipe Scolari’s side into the last four. In truth, Hengda had done the damage in the first leg with a 3-1 win. On the last day of September, Evergrande hosted Gamba Osaka in the first leg of the semi-final, with the deciding second leg in Japan on October 21. With Brazilian stars Paulinho and Robinho starting to settle in after joining midseason, Scolari will be confident of reaching the two-leg final to be played in November. Former Man City, Real Madrid and AC Milan star Robinho netted three times in his first five games and will be hopeful of making an even greater impact at the business end of the season.
