Editor's Note T

hey’ve spent years training for a sport that they love. Our cover story this month focuses on four athletes’ transitions from being at the top of their game to adjusting to their new roles in life.

Tennis legend Li Na announced her high-profile retirement just months after winning her second Grand Slam title at the 2014 Australian Open, due to a chronic knee injury. Since then, she’s become a mother and is acting as the ambassador for various brands and promoting the sport that made her famous. After winning Olympic gold medals in boxing (light flyweight division) in the 2008 and 2012 games, Zou Shiming retired from the national team to pursue a career in professional boxing while making appearances on various reality TV shows.

Once an observed trial cyclist on the US national team, Christopher Pitts now finds himself helming the kitchen at one of Shanghai’s most popular restaurants. Former Canadian national champion kayakist Stéfanie Vallée is now applying her experience in the water to her career as a painter and an executive coach. Turn

Elsewhere in the magazine, our Food Editor Betty Richardson explores some of Shanghai’s best bowls of noodles; turn to p62 for some serious slurping action. In the Art section, Zoey Zha sits down with legendary British choreographer Matthew Bourne (page 30), to speak about his gothic rendition of Sleeping Beauty, which will be gracing the stage of Shanghai Cultural Square from August 16-25.

On page 12, Arts Editor Andrew Chin catches up with Photofairs Shanghai director Alexander Montague-Sparey for a preview of Asia’s largest art festival dedicated to photography on September 8-11 at the Shanghai Exhibition Center. In the Lifestyle section, I visit the gorgeous home of longtime China expat, author and former J. Walter Thompson CEO of Asia, Tom Doctoroff (page 20), just before he embarks on a new adventure in New York.

Until next month.

TALES OF THE CITY

The Yongkang Drought of 2016

Who Stays and Who Goes?

By Virginia Werner

S

ome big changes are on the way to beloved expat nightlife staple Yongkang Lu, the place where you start your night or – if you’re the less (or perhaps more) ambitious type – end your night as well.

With a very diverse union of nationalities represented on its docket, this wet market turned art street turned bar street has been through its fair share of big changes. The latest change to come its way? Yongkang Lu will now be partially shutting down over the next few months as Xuhui District Mayor Bao Bingzhang has pledged to renovate the area by putting it under new regulations and closing any business that are illegitimate or located near schools.

With a 10pm curfew that can be attributed to the locals who live in its vicinity, and who were not pleased about foreigners drinking until the wee hours of the morning, let’s just say some dirty water was poured out of win8 | A U G U S T 2 0 1 6 | w w w . t h ats m ags . c o m

dows onto the rowdy crowd below.

This, however, is not the first time the area has come under major scrutiny. Todd Pearson of the Camel Hospitality Group (the folks behind popular Yongkang watering holes El Luchador, The Blarney Stone, Sliders and The Hop Project, as well as other venues across town) says, “Many of the venues on the street are properly and fully licensed. For these venues, we are not expecting to see big changes.

The other venues on the street that lack the proper licenses, which would be 50-60 percent, will be shut down within a month.”

In the meantime, we suggest a nice, meandering walk down Yongkang Lu in the sunshine. Enjoy what it has to offer, as it might be more or less unrecognizable a year from now. But not to worry, in this ever-evolving city there will always be new places for plenty of day drinking. We’ll drink to that!

Dyson Around the City

Cool Places, Clean Air

Pure Yoga With locations in Hong Kong, Taipei, Singapore and New York, Pure Yoga established its first Shanghai outpost at the iapm in 2013. Since then, the spacious 1,200-square-meter studio offering more than 20 types of classes and workshops has attracted yogis around the city. They recently installed a couple of Dyson’s new Pure Cool Link purifier fans in one of their classrooms and the reception area to ensure their students are living a healthy lifestyle and breathing clean air at the same time. > www.pure-yoga.com.cn

IFC Residence At the heart of the Lujiazui financial district is this glamorous serviced apartment complex. Located next to the shopping mall of the same name and numerous high-end retail and dining options at your doorstep, the IFC Residence offers state-of-the-art facilities and services for its guests. But even inside the cleanest homes, everyday household items such as scented candles as well as fumes from cleaning products and paint are the culprits of indoor pollution. With the new Pure Cool Link Purifier Fan from Dyson, residents can now breathe with an extra level of comfort. > www.ifcresidence.com

Shanghai Grand Theatre Fans of operas, ballets, musicals and symphonies and chamber music concerts in town must have paid a visit to the Shanghai Grand Theatre near People’s Square. Since opening in 1998, this world-class performance venue has staged over 6,000 performances by both Chinese and international musicians and artists. While enjoying impressive shows, the audience can also breathe in high-quality air with Dyson’s Pure Cool Link purifier fan on site. > www.shgtheatre.com

Shanghai International Medical Center

Opened in 2014, Shanghai International Medical Center (SMIC) is located in Pudong and is managed by Parkway Health. With 97,000 square meters of space, this facility offers a full range of medical services in many disciplines. In its reception area, Dyson’s Pure Cool Link purifier fan helps to remove 99.95 percent of PM0.1 particles in the air that causes allergies for their visitors and patients. >www.simcgroup.com

Fraser Suites Top Glory (Pudong) Shanghai Redleaf International Women’s Hospital Designed to serve as a highend medical facility with hotel standards, Shanghai Redleaf International Women’s Hospital aims to provide specialized care for women and children, priding itself on being the first comprehensive international standard women’s hospital in China.

Naturally, installing a quality air purifier at the lobby to welcome its clients with ‘a breath of fresh air’ seems like a no brainer. The tower model of Dyson’s Pure Cool Link purifier fan (as seen in the photo) projects purified air across different rooms and larger areas such as the lobby at Redleaf. > www.redleafhospital.com

With a panoramic view of the Puxi side of the Huangpu River, Fraser Suites Top Glory in Lujiazui is one of the most prestigious residential buildings in Shanghai. Those who live here certainly know how to appreciate the finer things in life, and most important, the quality of the air they’re breathing. Available in the desk (as seen here at the reception desk), Dyson’s Pure Cool Link purifier fan allows for targeted purifying in smaller areas. > shanghai-suites.frasershospitality.com

Fairmont Peace Hotel Completed in 1929, Fairmont Peace Hotel is one of Shanghai’s most iconic buildings and the hotel itself is one of the few luxury hotels that still breathes an air of glamor and sophistication from the city’s golden era in the 1920s and 30s. After installing the new air purifiers from Dyson, the Bund-side landmark now allows their esteemed guests to breathe in some clean air as well. > www.fairmont.com/peace-hotel-shanghai

Fake Beggar Footage of a beggar being exposed as a fake amputee made waves in China last month. In the video, which was recorded in Altay, Xinjiang, the man is shown wheeling himself around on a cart as he begs for money. Around halfway through the video, a bystander pulls off the beggar’s pants to reveal that he isn’t crippled at all, but was instead tucking his legs into his undergarments the entire time. Witnesses could be heard accusing him of being a phony beggar.

The number of people from Wuhan who were evacuated due to floods

Last month shaped up to be a particularly wet summer for China, with flooding hitting multiple provinces and cities across central and southern China. One of the worst hit cities was the Hubei capital, which was bombarded with torrential rains leading to dangerous water levels – upwards of 200 millimeters – at lakes, rivers and reservoirs across the city. The flooding stopped traffic and shut down major tunnels and subway stations, with images of partially submerged metro stations circulating online. At least 180 people have been killed by floods in China this summer.

“No one told me how to pose for fashion photos. I just know how to do it.”

Said Liang Xide, an 80-year-old grandma/style icon who recently made waves on social media for her impeccable fashion sense and top-notch modeling skills. Photos of Liang, a Chongqing native, went viral after her grandniece Lin Dan posted them on social media. In the photos, she is seen wearing oversized sunglasses, heels and lace dresses, and she can be seen posing like a natural. Lin, a fashion shop owner based in Shenyang, said that many bystanders wanted to take photos with her during the photo shoot. Liang, who enjoyed singing and dancing when she was younger, picked up photography after retirement.

I Zhanan / Zhānán / 渣男 n. a player, an unfaithful man, a cheater, scum This guy I’m seeing shows up ever y other week to spend time with me, then just goes incommunicado. It’s been months. What is wrong with him?

Either he’s a spy or a zhanan.

But I like him. I can’t live without his sweet words on WeChat.

n the Chinese language, ‘zha’ is probably the lowest appraisal you can give to anything. It’s the worst name you can call anyone, lower than ‘asshole’ or ‘garbage’ which can be a used or recycled respectively. Roughly translated as ‘dregs’ or ‘dross,’ zha is no use to anyone and should be eliminated. A zhanan is such a man.

A zhanan excels at nothing, yet feels very good about himself because none of his failures are his fault. It’s always someone else’s fault: his boss was against him, his coworkers were idiots, he was deprived of opportunities. In the mirror, he sees a shining diamond that the world is just too dumb to recognize.

On top of that, zhanan are good with women. He knows how to sweet talk and shower you with compliments. He compares you to different kinds of flowers. He says whatever you want to hear, but he means none of it.

The most important characteristic of a zhanan is that he cheats whenever he gets a chance. A zhanan plays the numbers game. He casts a wide net. Even if 99 percent of women reject him, he will still end up with the 1 percent whose judgment is clouded by his compliments. And then he cheats on them.

The science of identifying a zhanan is advancing rapidly.

According to the latest findings, typical signs include: constantly asking girls out, having multiple WeChat conversations with girls throughout the day, and never taking dates to group activities.

Leading experts in the field think the root cause of zhanan-ism is low self-esteem, which leads men to assume that they are not worthy of a real relationship. They therefore settle for grabbing whatever they can get, because ultimately, we only accept the kind of love we think we deserve.

By day, Mia Li is a news reporter in Beijing; at night, she tries to turn that news into standup comedy.

Wake up. You are such an enabler.

Asia’s Largest Photo Festival

BY Andrew Chin

A

sia’s largest art festival solely dedicated to photography returns to Shanghai Exhibition Center from September 8-11 with 52 galleries from around the world – 25 percent of which is showing in China for the first time.

“Before Photofairs | Shanghai existed, there was no sizable, internationally-minded, high-end outlet for photography galleries to come together in this way in Asia,” notes director Alexander Montague-Sparey.

“The response has been very positive and we have seen an increasing demand from new collectors from all over Asia.

Photography has proven itself once again to be a great way in for collectors to have a go at collecting for the first time.

”A new initiative will offer artists a private sales platform to show museum quality works, but even people who aren’t in the market for art will have plenty to appreciate.

The works from iconic photographers Robert Mapplethorpe, Daido Moriyama, Martin Parr, Herb Ritts, Hiroshi Yamazaki and Hiroyuki Yamada will be spotlighted.

The new Platform section is dedicated to galleries showing in Chia for the first time, including Hong Kong’s The Empty Gallery presentation of Amit Desai and Elipsis Projects (London, Istanbul’s) look at Ahmet Ertung.

“We are focusing on new approaches to contemporary photography since 2000.

Artists who are really breaking new boundaries in terms of photography processes; artists who are dedicated to reinterpreting the medium in an interesting way,” he adds, listing out a number of artists including Mainland artists Birdhead and Geng Jianyi.

Last year’s festival drew more than 26,000 visitors and Montague-Sparey is confident that figure will be smashed.

“The breadth, aesthetic power and elegance so inherent to the photographic medium has gone down very naturally in Shanghai,” he says.

Valery Vauban-de-Montaudon, actor and founder of Pootsh

You’re better known as your stage name Guo Feilong (郭飞 龙) to the Chinese audience.

How did you come up with the name?

I spent some time in Edinburgh in my 20s, where I met a Chinese friend named Guo Fei. We’ve stayed in touch over the years and when I decided to move to Beijing, his family took me in like their second son. Guo Fei just named me after himself and added the character 龙 (long, or dragon) to it. In terms of acting, it’s always a mix of fun and stress to play a character; every job is full of interesting experiences but I have a very short memory about each.

What does ‘Pootsh’ mean?

The idea was to have a multilingual name for the brand, and a sound appeared to be the best way for everyone to understand. We also wanted the pronunciation to fit with our quirky products so saying the name out loud would bring a smile to your face. That’s how we came up with the Pootsh, which is inspired by the Chinese term 扑 哧 (puchi) – the sound someone makes when they are trying not to laugh during inappropriate occasions.

What’s the inspiration behind Pootsh? And why cushions?

I have a passion for homeware and worked as an art dealer before. I always appreciate the different styles of decoration when visiting someone’s home. A couple of years ago, I was looking to do something in my spare time in addition to acting.

1 6 | A u g u s t 2 0 1 6 | w w w.t h at s m a g s . c o m

I was influenced by images of food and everyday items, and wanted to turn them into quirky cushions – an idea that came from a strange dream I had a long time ago where everything around me came to life under a magical spell.

How do you decide which food items or animals to turn into cushions? Which ones are the most popular and which are your favorite?

I just follow my crazy mind. Pootsh is a huge playground where we can have fun with ideas.

The most popular ones are the animals as well as the seafood products like Bubba Gump the shrimp. Each Pootsh cushion comes with a humorous or suggestive message on the back. For example, Sargo the exotic fish comes with the line, “Hook me, cook me,” and it’s one of my favorites.

What was your most memorable acting experience?

I’d have to say it’s a science fiction film that was just released in July across the country, but I won’t say the name. I had a pretty major role as a member of a group of science students on an ocean expedition. We acted out most of the scenes in front of a green screen with the director yelling out weird instructions, telling us to imagine that we’re riding on dolphins or dancing with fish, but the special effects were so badly made and over the top. To this day, even after seeing the final cut, I still don’t really get the point of the story.

“We have zero tolerance for those who rip off other people’s intellectual property” Jack Ma, founder and chairman of Alibaba, wrote in a Wall Street Journal opinion article just one week after making a comment in a speech to investors about how Chinese-manufactured counterfeit products are just as good as – if not better than – the real deal. In the article (an attempt to set the record straight), Ma says his comments, which raised a lot of eyebrows internationally, were taken out of context and what he said was an observation on the shifting dynamics between brands and their manufacturers and customers. We’ll let you be the judge on whether he was actually simply misunderstood or backtracking on his comments due to public pressure.

A DIP The end of the plum rain season means those boiling and humid days are back to haunt us. If you’re stuck in Shanghai this summer, the best way to deal with this ‘hot mess’ is to take a dip into your nearest swimming pool and drink loads of ice cold beer (perhaps both at the same time). Don’t have your beach body ready yet? Not to worry. Here are some swimsuits to fit different body types this summer.

A Piece of Shanghai

The Transformation of an Old Lane House Words by Dominic Ngai, Photos by Mario Grey

When he first looked at the house, Tom Doctoroff thought it was quite closed-in and claustrophobic, but he was attracted to some elements of it. One of the first decisions he and designer Baptiste Bohu made was to extend the living room further out into the backyard to make it more spacious. One of Doctoroff’s favorite spots is the corner of the grey sofa next to the floorto-ceiling glass door, where he’d usually do some work on his laptop.

The renovation project for Doctoroff’s (right) home in 2009 was the first residential project Baptiste Bohu (left) had worked on.

The grey brick wall behind the duo in this photo is a common feature of the Shanghainese shikumen-style architecture.

H

aving spent 22 years in China and Asia, Tom Doctoroff, the former Asia CEO of J. Walter Thompson, has recently announced his departure from the multinational marketing and communications firm that has been his employer since 1992. Thinking back on his first introduction to the region when the company sent him to Hong Kong in 1994 and later to Shanghai in 1998, the author and expert in branding and Chinese consumer behavior says, “I became fascinated by a fundamentally different worldview; my American assumptions about the nature of culture were shaken. I found it to be both intellectually and professionally rewarding and enriching.”

Since moving to Shanghai, Doctoroff has always lived in the former French Concession. “I love strolling around the neighborhood and that’s what I love about Shanghai in general, it’s a very ‘walkable’ city. In addition to its charm and elegance, I like that life is so close to the streets. It’s like a

cultural anthropological tour every time you walk out the door,” he notes.

He purchased his current home – a 180-square-meter, three-story lane house on Ruijin Er Lu – in 2009 to fulfill one of his longtime wishes: to own a piece of the city that he loves. “To me, something that’s unique to Shanghai would be a lane house,” Doctoroff tells me. He then hired French interior designer Baptiste Bohu to do the initial renovation to “give it more light, more flow and breathability.”

“I am not thinking of this as leaving, but rather as a transition to the next phase of my life,” Doctoroff says of his imminent departure, “I’d want China and Asia to be part of my life in the future. I’m at a stage where I’m under no pressure to do anything, except for exploring the opportunities.” As for his gorgeous house? He’s putting it on the market. Here’s a look inside. > www.tomdoctoroff.com > www.baptistebohu.net

i n t e r i o r | l if e & s t y l e

One element of the house that Doctoroff fell in love with when he first saw it was the dark wood stairs – a signature design feature of traditional lane houses in Shanghai.

One of the major changes to the house that Bohu made in 2009 was breaking down the walls that separated the kitchen and the living room and foyer, essentially connecting and opening up the entire first floor of the house.

The backyard is lined with well-maintained plants. Doctoroff admits that he often likes sitting on the sofa to enjoy the greenery when he needs a break from the computer screen.

In 2015, Bohu came back to the house to do some small touch-ups, mainly focusing on the bathroom connected to the master bedroom. The floor-to-ceiling door that separates the shower area from the rest of the space echoes the one found on the main floor in between the courtyard and the living room.

The house also features a rooftop terrace, which looks out to similar buildings in the area. Doctoroff admits, “It took a while to come to a truce with some of the older neighbors who resented someone owning an entire lane house. But after they realized that I’m friendly and not here to flip the house, things got better.

Every now and then, the 80-year-old man next door invites me to his arts and calligraphy class to speak on behalf of ChineseAmerican friendship.”

Brompton Junction

Premium Bikes All the Way from London

By Tongfei Zhang

G

ood news for bike enthusiasts: Brompton Junction, the classic British brand specializing in folded bikes, has arrived at K11 Art Mall.

The Shanghai location, in fact, resembles a mini factory. At the interactive zone, shoppers can watch the bikes being assembled in the London facility in the interactive zone. In the show room to the left, you can put together your customized bike by choosing the color, riding style, gearing options and other accessories.

Unique and reliable, Brompton bikes can be easily folded and unfolded within 20 seconds (yes we’ve tried it!), which makes it super convenient to carry around wherever you’re going – you can even ride it to work, fold it up, and store it under your desk.

There are four different types of riding styles to choose from: sporty, classic, “touring bus” (for long rides) and the elegant Dutch Bike for ladies. Prices range from RMB11,000-20,000, depending on the specs.

After the order is placed, it takes about two months to receive the bike (as it’s made in the UK), but you can purchase directly off the shelf here in store if you don’t want to wait that long. > B207-208, K11, 300 huaihai Zhong lu, by madang lu K11购 物中心地下2层B207-208, 近马当路 (www.brompton.com)

S a po or ks W s Inspired p a Sodmade Soap Han oods F y t s a

by T ai

By Dominic

“S

oap making is the perfect medium for me to combine the science of exact chemistry formulation with the art of creating an experience through shapes, colors, textures and scents that harness the natural goodness of botanical oils and extracts,” says Ruth Ng, the founder of Sapo Soap Works.

With a background in industrial design and having worked as a color and material specialist throughout her career, Ng started her brand earlier this year while she was living in Beijing, where she became more conscious of the quality of the skincare products she uses.

Unsatisfied with what she found on the market, she began to experiment with making her own products with natural ingredients that she brought back from abroad.

Sapo Soap Work’s soaps and moisturizers – produced entirely by Ng herself (from making the products by hand to package design and branding) – are all inspired by the inherent qualities of the raw ingredients.

“For example, caffeine helps to stimulate blood circulation so I thought it would be cool to make soap from coffee. When I added some cocoa powder – which is full of antioxidants – to create a dark brown hue, the Mocha Swirl was born,” Ng tells us.

In addition to that, tasty (and aromatic) foods such as avocado, buttermilk, honeycomb and lemongrass can all be found in Sapo’s soap selection (starting from RMB55). “At different pop-up markets, I have people telling me my soaps look so delicious that they want to take a bite,” she adds. While the brand is still in the early stages of development, Ng is in contact with several lifestyle shops in Shanghai for opportunities to showcase her products. In the meantime, you can find her tasty-smelling soaps on her WeChat store. > saposoapworks.com, wechat store: saposoapworks 2 4 | A u g u s t 2 0 1 6 | w w w.t h at s m a g s . c o m

Pawnstar A Second Hand Good Cause

By Dominic Ngai

S

econd hand clothing stores are still a relatively foreign concept in China, but Jane Jia has been trying to change that since she founded Pawnstar in April 2015. You may have seen her booth at various pop-up markets, but Pawnstar has recently moved into a permanent home on the first floor of a classic Art Deco-style lane house on Fuxing Zhong Lu. At first glance, the Pawnstar showroom at The Clement Apartments may be small and cramped. However, you will soon realize that this is actually a charming quality for the concept. As you walk through the room, you’ll find second hand accessories, bags, men’s and women’s apparel, vintage ties, shoes and more – all collected by Jia – displayed just steps away from each other.

Jia tells us there are no restrictions in terms of style for the item she resells, but she’s quite strict on the quality of the garments she takes in. Damaged goods that are not in resellable condition are donated to charity. She adds, “I also work with local indie designers to restore slightly damaged items from big labels (for example, a dress that has a scratch mark) by asking them to use their creativity to ‘repair’ the imperfections and turn it into a brand new thing.”

When Jia first turned Pawnstar into her full-time business last year, the Beijing-born entrepreneur’s vision was to use her concept to shed light on the importance of sustainability in the fashion industry – which is constantly manufacturing new products. Jia says of her business model, “From a profitability standpoint, I believe in the model that we’ve built since there isn’t any production cost associated with running the business. Moreover, I also strongly believe in what the brand stands for. Recycling and reusing [in this industry] is an often neglected idea but a much needed one for society.”

trolling down the busy streets of cities like Shanghai and Beijing, it’s easy to get lost in the colorful sights and sounds all around you. An outstanding pairing of fashionable outfits and handbags will, however, allow you to stand out from the background noise. This season, contemporary lifestyle brand Shang Xia has rolled out a new bag collection – Man Yi – for you to mix and match and spice up your look for the summer.

Following the success of the Lan Yue collection, Man Yi (which translates as ‘satisfaction’) is Shang Xia’s second handbag series. The body of this classically elegant leather tote is made with high-quality cowhide, incorporating inspirations from the traditional art of basket weaving. It’s all in line with the overall concept of the brand’s other products – simplistic, elegant and infused with a hint of traditional Chinese culture.

Besides being stylish, bags in the Man Yi collection all feature flat bottoms – making them extremely functional and spacious enough to store all your daily necessities such as makeup, skincare products, smartphones or other gadgets, and perhaps even a snack or two.

To make a bold fashion statement, pair the clean and classy nude color Man Yi bag with Shang Xia’s new Bamboo Charm jacket. Available in a fiery red tone, it’s made with an all-new fabric that involves interweaving leather with silk – another technique inspired by bamboo weaving – to create a soft material that shows off the graceful contours of the female body. Complete the look with Shang Xia’s Opera pants, inspired by the elegant postures of Chinese opera and shoes from the Satis-feet collection, which are also inspired by ancient Chinese footwear and made from cowhide and sheepskin leather.

The more down-to-earth fashionista should match the Man Yi leather tote with subtly elegant dresses from the Clouds collection, which draws inspiration from the shape of Ming Dynasty gowns and cloud motifs from the Dunhuang grotto palette to accentuate the virtues of Eastern femininity.

With four colors suitable for different personality types to choose from, Shang Xia’s new collection of handbags will complement your look at every leisure or formal occasion this summer. maison shang xia is at 233 huaihai Zhong lu, by songshan lu 淮海中路233号, 近 嵩山路 (8017 9777). you can also find the brand at shanghai hongqiao international Airport terminal 2 上海虹桥国际机场t2航站楼 (2238 2549)

Radisson Blu Resort Wetland Park Wuxi Traditional Chinese Beauty with a Modern Touch

G

ood location and great service are two of the most essential qualities of a good hotel. As the first resort property under its brand in China, Radisson Blu Resort Wetland Park Wuxi scores high points in both.

Located in the New District of Wuxi, the resort is about 15-20 min-

utes’ drive from both Shuofang International Airport and the closest railway station. It’s also less than a half-hour train ride from Shanghai Hongqiao Railway Station, making the resort a perfect weekend getaway for Shanghai residents.

From its garden-style architecture to traditional interior décor, the resort has strategically married Wu culture – which flourished in the south of the Yangtze River area – with this world-renowned hotel brand, making it one of the newest upscale leisure spots in town.

There are 196 rooms at this property, including 20 suites and two rooms serving guests with disabilities – all of which are set in traditional Chinese-style buildings, with the tallest being only three stories. The design ensures that every room has a spectacular garden view of the lake and ponds.

In terms of dining options, the two-story Wu Palace serves a range of Cantonese delicacies and local specialties, while Flowing Water offers an option for guests who are in the mood for some Western food. In the evening, the Lobby lounge or Q Bar are the perfect places to enjoy a nightcap or a drink after work.

The hotel is strategically located close to Stone Park, the Hongshan Ruins Museum and the Wetland Park. A visit to these nearby sites is highly recommended during your stay. Even for those with busy schedules, Radisson Blu Resort Wetland Park Wuxi offers a chance to experience the local culture and landscape right at your doorstep.

The Secret Life of Pets

Aug 2

Louis C.K. voices Max, an adorable terrier living large in Manhattan who is driven to jealousy when his owner adopts a new dog called Duke (Modern Family’s Eric Stonestreet).

However, Max’s quest to rid the home of his new competitor leads to the unlikely pair being lost on the streets, desperately trying to make it home. Comedy stars like Kevin Hart, Steve Coogan, Dana Carvey, Hannibal Buress and Albert Brooks voice a colorful cast of characters ranging from vengeful white rabbits to wise basset hounds. Released last month, The Secret Life of Pets has received strong reviews and has already grossed over USD145 million worldwide.

One of Shanghai’s most respected jazz cats gets even cooler, teaming with electronic producer Soulspeak for some new adventures in sound.

The Australian trumpeter gives us a preview. See the full interview at www.thatsmags.com/shanghai.

On Soulspeak...

We met several years back working with Tia Ray and the J-Crew team. His very creative and organic approach to music, as well as his openness to different genres, really made me excited to work with him. The main goal was to explore new directions, create an interesting musical dialogue between us, and then just see where it led.

On making Love in the Land of Robots...

Soulspeak lives in Beijing, so we were actually only in the same room once throughout the process. It’s truly the digital age – so much WeChat discussion.

Hao Months before his starring turn in Zhang Yimou’s The Great Wall, Matt Damon brings Jason Bourne to the Mainland’s big screens for the first time on August 23. The only Bourne film to be released in China, 2012’s The Bourne Legacy, starred Jeremy Renner and still managed to gross a respectable RMB215 million.

Ice Age: Collision Course

The fifth installment in the pre-historic animated series goes into space. The film picks up after the events of 2012’s Ice Age: Continental Drift where saber tooth squirrel Scrat has accidentally activated an alien ship taking him to deep space where he inadvertently sends several asteroids to collide into Earth. Meanwhile on the planet, Ray Romano’s wooly mammoth Manny must rally everyone around him to find a solution to impending doom. Stars Dennis Leary, Queen Latifah and Jennifer Lopez return with new additions including comedy vets (Nick Offerman), pop stars (Jessie J), athletes (Michael Strahan) and a scientist (Neil deGrasse Tyson).

On the album’s sci-fi theme...

Shanghai just has that futuristic feel. It’s a place that changes fast and adapts to new technologies quickly. It’s hard to think of a more Blade Runner-esque skyline than Shanghai’s.

Bu Hao Rumors are rampant that the allfemale reboot of Ghostbusters has been denied a coveted Mainland release. No, regulators aren’t protesting the absence of Bill Murray, but rather enforcing an official policy to prohibit films “promoting cults or superstition.” A decade ago, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest was unreleased in China for similar reasons.

The Beautiful Mind of Matthew Bourne Behind Sleeping Beauty’s Gothic Makeover

BY Zoey Zha

Knighted earlier this year, Sir Matthew Bourne OBE has won numerous Laurence Olivier Awards and Tony’s for iconic shows like his all-male adaptation of Swan Lake. After that show packed the house last year, the legendary choreographer brings his gothic rendition of Sleeping Beauty to Shanghai Cultural Square from August 1625. During his whirlwind first visit to Shanghai, he found time to chat with Zoey Zha.

3 0 | a u g u s t 2 0 1 6 | w w w.t h at s m a g s . c o m

What gave you the idea of doing this adaption of Sleeping Beauty?

Well, it only seems right to do so. I had done two other Tchaikovsky classics – Swan Lake and The Nutcracker – in the 1990s and I became quite well-known afterwards. So I thought I should give Sleeping Beauty a go at the time of my company’s 25th anniversary.

I sort of made myself do it because the music is terribly grand, but the story didn’t appeal to me enormously. During the process of research, however, I found the story to be rich and fell in love with it.

It ended being one of my most enjoyable productions.

What do you think of the original fairy tale adaptation?

I have mixed feelings. To me, it just doesn’t feel right to have a prince who wasn’t there from the beginning arrive at the end. So I changed that and whatever I felt was weak in the original story. But I didn’t mind the ‘happily ever after’ part.

The whole process was a fun task for me, so I focused on what I could do with the story rather than the story itself.

Besides the Royal Ballet’s adaptation, what were your other references?

Of course, the Royal Ballet gave a perfect ballet rendition of the story. I also

watched the Disney version, which is the most famous and unique version for audiences.

Disney, interestingly, recognized the same problem in the story that I did, which was that the prince came in too late. So they had the princess fall in love with him. We did something similar by having the princess love a real commoner – an unsuitable suitor, in a way.

“Unlike most professional dancers who start training very young, I tried many other things instead"

Where does your inspiration come from?

Films. I came into dance rather late and didn’t watch a ballet until I was 18. All those years living in London, I saw a lot of movies, along with musical and theater plays. Unlike most professional dancers who start training very young, I tried many other things instead. And now I try to include a bit of dance history in my

“I have mixed feeling towards the fairy tale. To me, it just doesn’t feel right to have a prince who wasn’t there from the beginning arrive at the end”

works and throw everything in there. My head is always spinning with film images, some of which I don’t even recognize.

The other thing that inspires me today are my dancers. It’s funny running a dance company for 30 years – we started off with people around the same age dancing in the company, but now, as I grow older, there is a big age gap. I’ve got so many talented dancers who have become the reason I want to get up in the morning to help them with their careers.

Do you have any preferences when auditioning dancers?

I want and encourage them to be versatile and be generous with their way of performing. For each project, I will assign dancers a list of films and books for them to research and learn their characters.

Beyond that, they can be anything they want. They don’t have to have a perfect body within reason. I don’t want a unified look because we’ve got so many different characters in the play.

Audiences find similarity in styles between you and Tim Burton, who also did Sleeping Beauty in his early Faerie Tale Theatre series. Do you agree?

I actually cooperated with Tim Burton (see pg38) while doing a theatre adaptation of Edward Scissorhands. He loves re-telling fairy tales, gothic literature and fantasy tales. It's easy to spot a great Tim Burton project.

Edward Scissorhands did connect us in some way, though I mainly

worked with the writer. I do see the similarity because you never expect him to do a straightforward story version. He’s a genuine design artist and has such a unique voice. What he earns with his popularity allows him to try more.

Have audiences changed much during the past few years?

Yes. Take Swan Lake for example. We used to have people walking out and little girls sitting in the front row crying in their tutus, thinking they were going to the classical Swan Lake. Now the show has grown from a controversial play to a Christmas show for families. Many young people have only watched the all-male adaption Swan Lake and find female swans quite odd. It always goes from one extreme to another.

Are you working on any new projects?

Yes, we are doing a new show this year, and we’ll be back into rehearsal once this tour is over. The new show is called Red Shoes and is based on an amazing British film about a dance company in the 1940s. To make a dance piece about a dance company might sound a bit dull, but the film is very cinematically exciting.

HOPE SPRINGS ETERNAL

Of Montreal Frontman Lightens Up

BY Andrew Chin

O

ver an unpredictable 20-year career, Kevin Barnes has led Of Montreal on a trip through rock history. The band has remade everything from heady psychedelia to hedonistic glam rock – all in their own twisted image. But for the upcoming album, Innocence Reaches, frontman Barnes admits to finding inspiration in more contemporary sounds, including electronic artists like Jack Ü, Chairlift and Arca.

“I’m always searching for new inspiration,” he explains. “I really liked what I heard from those artists and felt like they were creating new sounds that I hadn’t heard before. I really loved their production styles and wanted to make something in that sort of vein.”

While long-time fans may cringe at Barnes’ admission that the group’s 14th disc includes a song that “feels EDM,” the frontman promises that the disc will touch on a variety of styles, from electro to prog-rock.

The new influences mark a noticeable shift from last year’s Aureate Gloom, an album largely shaped by New York’s hallowed 1970s punk scene. Describing Of Montreal’s new disc as the “group’s most light-hearted album in years,” Barnes admits that Innocence Reaches is an attempt to “start a new chapter.”

“I think I finally started to forgive myself for the dissolution of my marriage and started feeling more hopeful again,” he ex-

plains. “A lot of the songs on the album are still pretty dark, at least lyrically, but there’s a more positive energy within it all.”

“I finally started to forgive myself for the dissolution of my marriage and started feeling more hopeful again”

This dichotomy is present in the record’s lead single, ‘It’s Different for Girls.’ The track’s synth-dance groove (and joyous music video) is paired with lyrics sympathizing with the many women who have to put up with daily bullshit.

“I have an 11-year-old daughter so gender politics and the female experience are topics that I think about a lot,” Barnes explains. “Globally, women’s rights are not the priority that they should be. Far too often men create laws that attempt to subjugate women and make them feel inferior. I think it’s disgusting.”

When Innocence Reaches is released later this month, the group will be in the midst of an inaugural China tour that stops off at MAO Livehouse on August 14.

“We’ll be debuting a lot of the songs on this tour,” Barnes says. “We’ve created a completely new live show for this. I’m going do costume and makeup changes, so there will definitely be a strong theatrical element to the show. It will also include a wide variety of songs from a lot of the albums.”

With 14 full-length records to their name, Of Montreal have plenty of material to choose from. The group have maintained a steady output since emerging in mid-1990s Athens, Georgia – the college town that famously produced altrock icons R.E.M. and the ‘Elephant 6’ collective that Of Montreal was once a part of.

“It was great at the time to feel the support of a group of like-minded artists and to be part of such a creative environment,” Barnes recalls. “I learned a lot from [fellow Elephant 6] bands like Neutral Milk Hotel and The Olivia Tremor Control.

“I looked up to them like they were my older brothers. I tried to learn from their experiences in the music industry, and network through their contacts. It was a great education on many levels.”

After 20 years in the game, Of Montreal now act as a source of inspiration for upcoming indie acts. Barnes credits the band’s endurance to being “sort of autistic about music” and to “never getting bored or stuck in a rut creatively.”

“I always feel like I have something to prove,” he adds. “I don’t feel satisfied with anything that I’ve ever created. That is what drives me to keep trying to create something decent.”

His ferocious work ethic also helps.

Although Innocence Reaches hasn’t even been released yet – and two long tours of America have been planned for the year – Barnes is already thinking about the next album.

“I think it will be of a more collaborative nature,” he says. “I want to get a bunch of guest vocalists to contribute; at least that’s my vision at the moment.”

Sunflower Bean

New York’s Finest

BY Andrew Chin

F

rom The Velvet Underground to The Parquet Courts, New York City has been a vital breeding ground for young indie acts to be catapulted to national attention. Currently the band du jour is Sunflower Bean, a trio of early 20-somethings with a classic rock indebted sound that’s led to comparisons with The Strokes.

While that group’s frontman Julian Casablancas has given the trio his seal of approval by turning up at their shows, Sunflower Bean guitarist Nick Kivlen admits, “I was five when The Strokes came out. It seems like ancient history.”

Rather he points to the Captured Tracks-driven Brooklyn scene starting in 2011 that produced releases by the likes of Mac Demarco and DIIV as a primary influence to the group’s 2013 formation.

“By then, there was more of a noise-rock, shoegaze and post-rock thing going on,” Kivlen adds. “We were doing the opposite of what other bands in Brooklyn were doing. We wanted to do things like have guitar solos.”

Although frontwoman/bassist Julia Cumming cheekily retorts,

“Most guitar solos are kind of bad,” she notes the trio’s self-described sound as ‘neopsychedelia from the digital age’ is a result of the member’s musical differences.

“Nick really loves (Pink Floyd’s) David Gilmour’s guitar tone, which isn’t necessarily my thing. But when it comes together with something that I or (drummer) Jacob (Faber) brings in, it creates something different so it’s not like we’re rehashing the past,” she explains of their debut disc, Human Ceremony.

With tours supporting Best Coast and The Vaccines to their name, as well as a record deal with the revered Mississippi blues label Fat Possum (Black Keys), Sunflower Bean are beginning to outgrow their hometown. They admit to being a bit behind on which new bands are starting to emerge over the last year, since they’ve been busy touring around the world.

“We were doing the opposite of what other bands in Brooklyn were doing. We wanted to do things like have guitar solos”

Their travels are only continuing as they make their first visit to Shanghai on August 17 at Yuyintang as a pre-festival showcase for the Split Works-curated Concrete and Grass Festival going down in September.

“A lot of the songs on the album had to be adjusted in the studio,” Faber notes. “So a live setting is almost the essence of a lot of these songs. We can kind of rock out and just do our thing.”

Duck Fight Goose

Sound of Shanghai

BY Andrew Chin

Few bands embody their hometown as completely as Duck Fight Goose. If Top Floor Circus was the quintessential Shanghai band of the early 2000s with their rowdy antics and stubborn commitment to singing solely in Shanghainese, the electronic quartet now hold that mantle – capturing the city’s fixation with advancement.

design of the bar,” Han raves. “It looks like a bar from the 80s, but at the same it has very modern features. They mainly play European electronic music. It’s a fantastic hybrid of coolness.”

Furthering that aesthetic, physical cop-

ies of Club Zvkvnft mirror video game packages for X-Box, Playstation and PC computer games complete with a ‘game manual’ detailing the disc’s larger world.

For the album release show, Duck Fight Goose will link with D Force Records labelmates DOC at MAO Livehouse on August 12 for the Limbic Man show – one that Han promises will be a true audio-visual show.

“I really hate those random geometric shapes and lines that a lot of VJs use now, so I hooked up with the visual artist Neng Huo to make customized videos for the songs on both our and DOC’s album,” Han explains.

“Limbic Man is going to be an experience.

I actually wrote a short story for each song and together they form a more rounded world. We’ve made some exciting visuals based on the album concept.”

hanghai is running in a unique way in a very special context,” says the group’s frontman Han Han. “It’s the new cyberpunk capital. We describe it as ‘future fusion.’”

It’s a term that perfectly describes the quartet’s sound. Their acclaimed 2012 debut Sports won wide acclaim for its mix of cold electronics and indie. But on their long-awaited follow-up, Club Zvkvnft, they’ve largely put away the guitars for an electronics-heavy, sci-fi inspired conceptual disc.

“We wanted to create a new soundscape,” Han explains. “Apart from the drums and bass guitar, all the other sounds on this album are completely different from those on Sports.”

He admits the group ditched 30 new songs “because they just didn’t feel right,” before landing on Club Zvkvnft’s concept a year ago.

Inspired by classic films (Alien, Blade Runner, Dark Star), comic books (GANTZ, Ghost in the Shell, All You Need is Kill) and video games (Fallout, Rage), Han describes the disc as a “product of all our inspirations and our own imaginations.”

Taking place in the futuristic “glittering techno-financial hub of Shanghai,” Club Zvkvnft follows “a highly advanced cyborg looking for humanity and the ability to groove.”

“Personally, I believe the more advanced technology becomes, the more people will realize how precious humanity is, which is good” Han explains.

“Technology is just a word and a catalyst that pushes things forward like ‘fire’ in the primitive world or ‘religions’ several thousand years ago. It’s just what people believe now.”

DALIAN OBSCURE CLUB

Dongbei’s Secret Rock Society

by Andrew Chin

W

hat happens when a young, noisy rock band wants to grow up? For the acclaimed Chinese indie rockers Doc Talk Shock, the answer is: convene in your hometown of Dalian, diligently work on your sound and emerge as a new entity, Dalian Obscure Club (DOC).

“I think the new name symbolizes the evolution of the band,” says frontman and guitarist Jiang Hao. “Dalian Obscure Club reflects our life status. We all have day jobs but making music has become an enjoyable and crucial part of our lives – it would be a shame to stop doing it.

“So we get together regularly after work to make music and talk about anything that inspires our minds – like members of a secret club.”

Heavily inspired by 90s alternative rock, Doc Talk Shock formed in 2008 with “lots of distorted guitar and shouting.” But the band felt as if their sound had reached its limit with the release of their debut album, 2012’s Lights of Detour, Jiang explains.

“We felt like doing something different but weren’t sure what direction to go in,” he says. “We were really into experimental mu-

sic and progressive rock like Tortoise, Jaga Jazzist, Motorpsycho and Steve Reich. We didn’t make any changes to our music intentionally; it all came naturally in the writing process.”

Written over two years, DOC’s debut disc Northern Electric Shadow incorporates diverse elements, from electronica to cinematic scores. “‘Electric Shadow’ came from separate translations of the two characters in the Chinese word for movie, dianying (电影),” Jiang explains. “It’s a great description of the sounds on the album.”

The disc is also heavily inspired by different aspects of the band’s hometown, from its local music scene to its geography.

“As a coastal city on the northern peninsula, Dalian has its own cool beauty, with its unique natural environment. Life here is less edgy and sometimes the wintry days are thought-provoking,” he says. “But on the other hand, we have mixed feelings about the major changes taking place in the city, like the brand new area built from a huge land reclamation project.”

To celebrate the album’s release, DOC

will team up with label mates Duck Fight Goose for the ‘Limbic Man’ show at MAO Livehouse on August 12. “The show will combine both band’s live performances with visual art as a whole,” Jiang says. “It’s definitely going to be a special experience.”

Jiang promises that there are further shows in the works, before expressing how impressed he is with the growth of indie music in China since the days of Doc Talk Shock.

“You can see a flourishing market for music festivals and copyright is becoming more important too,” Jiang says. “There’s a lot of speculative money coming into the market but we will see the true influence of this in the next few years.”

He ends with some sage advice for young musicians discovering the pleasures of making noise: “The most important thing is sticking to what your heart truly wants, which isn’t so easy these days – there are so many things that can compromise your path.

“But, self-examination is also necessary.”

In Their Own Words

John Young Toasts Storm Society, China’s First Modern Art Group

BY Zoey Zha

Australian-Chinese artist John Young pays tribute to China’s first modern art group, the Storm Society, at Pearl Lam until August 21. Consisting of three series of works, Storm.Resurrection showcases his “human-computer friendly” techniques that combine modern technology with traditional oil painting methods. He explains.

M

y mother used to collect Chinese paintings. She’d been through World War II and her generation preserved their family property by carrying ink paintings. So we had a lot of ink paintings in the house, which transcended as ‘visual sound’ to me.

I lived in Hong Kong until I was 10 years old and I found myself surrounded by many ‘visual sounds’ that I was attracted to. It was the 1970s so there wasn’t any contemporary art in Hong Kong. So to me, it was an intuitive attraction.

It’s like in music – there is noise and sound. The former is something you don’t want, whereas the latter is what you prefer to listening to.

Maybe my parents never knew that I wanted to become an artist until a few years before they passed away. But they sort of saw it coming. I was trained to be a philosopher at the time, which they thought was a poor way of making a living. So anything was better than becoming a philosopher, I guess.

Shanghai in the 1930s was like Berlin and New York at that time. It was the beginning of Asian modernity and I have great interest in this particular period.

Australia has spent about 20 years trying to examine Asian countries completely and study modernity differences. One of my best friends John Clark, who is a professor of fine art at a University, was the first English writer to introduce Asian modernity to the Western world.

The idea for Storm.Resurrection had been sitting at the back of my mind of a decade and a half, but now was the right time to do it. Although I’ve known of the Storm Society since the early 1990s, not many people in the West knew much about Shanghai in the 1930s, especially its modern art.

“I think the West misreads the Storm Society and views them as a derivative of the West, which isn’t true. The Society members used a lot of Western styles, but their attempt was to move the society into modern art and use them in different ways from how Western artists had done it” I think the West misreads the Storm Society and views them as a derivative of the West, which isn’t true. The Society members used a lot of Western styles, contrary to Chinese traditionalists like Xu Beihong. Their attempt was to move the society into modern art, using Western forms in different ways from how those artists had done it.

“Shanghai in the 1930s was like Berlin and New York at that time. It was the beginning of Asian modernity”

(Storm Society member) Qiu Ti was regarded as the first female modern artist in China but this image (see top left) shows how self-conscious she is. From her jacket to her experiences like visiting cinemas in the 1930s as a girl, she exemplifies being a modern and free woman.

The group photo (see top right) is quite interest-

ing, as you see them all dressed in suits and ties – which artists are not supposed to do. But it shows how much they wanted to be modern and proper.

I have stumbled upon making this sort of work in the last 10 years. It’s not about style, but rather about dealing with the mass culture at the present when dis-

traction is constantly around us.

It’s wonderful to have Storm.Resurrection at a historical building like Pearl Lam Gallery. All my current works are heavily history- and memory-based projects, so it’s great to be able to have the building’s relationships resonate with the works. Who knows?

Some of the people in the Storm Society may have set foot in this building.

For aspiring artists, don’t look at the globalized world, but the world itself. The globalized world is a place filled with commercialism, but the world is about people’s relations with each other. Look at that and from a distance.

It’s troubling to see many countries around the world shutting down their borders. Young people need to build that communication again. until august 21, 10.30am-7pm. pearl lam gallery, 181 jiangxi Zhong lu, by fuzhou lu 江西中路181号，近福州路

Modern Gothic

The Art of Tim Burton

BY Zoey Zha

Known for stylized film classics like Beetlejuice and Edward Scissorhands, the full artistry of Tim Burton is celebrated in this New York MoMA curated exhibition. A smashing success around the world, The Art of Tim Burton takes over Lafayette Art Center until October 10.

“Spirals and stripes might be disorienting, but [Burton] finds they ground him. Stitches and dismemberment seem grotesque to most, but he sees it as an ability to put oneself together”

D

espite being one of the most accomplished directors alive, with the second Alice in Wonderland recently released in China, Tim Burton has never stopped creating and designing artwork. An extension of his 2009 book, The Art of Tim Burton offers unique insight into one of the world’s most distinctive stylists.

Sporting his iconic mad-scientist hairstyle, the wicked talent somehow managed to escape media attention at the exhibition’s Shanghai opening. It wasn’t until he was formally introduced that he commanded full at3 8 | a u g u s t 2 0 1 6 | w w w.t h at s m a g s . c o m

tention. Although besieged with cameras and microphones, it was still difficult to read him.

Thankfully, The Art of Tim Burton provides a glimpse into what’s going on in that crazy mind. MoMA New York curator Jenny He recalls her astonishment when she first went through Burton’s private collection of work.

“Going through his archive was like a treasure hunt for me as a curator,” He says, “I think he must have a machine that makes a day 36 hours long because he is so prolific and somehow managed to produce all these drawings, sculptures and installations.”

With over 500 original Burton pieces scattered over four floors, The Art of Tim Burton is an extensive journey into his art world with curiosity ending in awe.

Unlike a typical MoMA exhibition, which is a more comprehensive retrospective, He focused on specific themes and motifs within Burton’s world, such as his look at holidays and misunderstood outcasts. The order allows visitors to start on any floor while still managing to explore the massive exhibition without missing a thing.

The second floor, however, is arguably the highlight of this exhibition. The ‘Polaroid

“He must have a time machine that makes a day 36 hours because he is so prolific and somehow managed to produce all these drawings, sculptures and installations” Section and Unrealized Projects’ area contains Burton’s Polaroid works from 1992-1999, a period in which he took a break from filmmaking.

Visitors can see some of the unrealized ideas from that, one of which is a handwritten note from Johnny Depp about a line in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. It is carefully framed – a bonus for attentive fans.

Don’t forget to stop by the luminous area on the B1 floor, which is inspired by the Oogie Boogie scenes from Nightmare Before Christmas.

Besides thrilling visitors, the curator hopes that the area will increase the understanding on how Burton’s films and artwork impact each other.

“The subversion of expectations is really what makes him so unique and

singular, because he sees the world in a different way,” He explains.

Years of working with Burton have given her the ability to decipher his artistic language.

“Spirals and stripes might be disorienting, but Tim finds they ground him,” she explains. “Stitches and dismemberment seem grotesque to most, but he sees it as a ability to put oneself together, like Sally in Nightmare Before Christmas.” until october 10, 10am-10pm, rmb130-200. lafayette art Center, 323 fuxing Zhong lu, by madang lu 复兴中 路323号，近马当路 (tickets available through that's and gopiao by scanning the Qr code)

The Challenges to Putonghua’s Rise

BY Aelred Doyle

“Amusingly, the committee in charge with creating a unified language descended into fisticuffs at one stage due to dialect differences, leading one member to mistakenly believe he had been personally insulted”

T

he Penguin China Specials have provided insight into everything from Bach to World War One from the China experts’ China experts. Known for a lucid, intelligent look at modern China unhampered by ideology or cant, David Moser doesn’t disappoint with his entry in these series of short books – essentially pamphlets.

In A Billion Voices, Moser’s topic is the rise of Mandarin as lingua franca for this huge country and its hundreds of dialects and languages. Originally pushed by the May Fourth crew as part of the modernization of China, the project had its difficulties, with a split between northerners who wanted the new language based on the Beijing dialect and a southern contingent who wanted a hybrid southernnorthern form – the former being the most practical solution and of course eventually winning out.

Amusingly, the committee in charge descended into fisticuffs at one stage due to dialect differences, leading one member to mistakenly believe he had been personally insulted.

The result, including a pronunciation guide for the basic 6,500 characters, was really just a statement of intent, since it all got put on hold while China was embroiled in war with Japan and internal conflict.

4 0 | a u g u s t 2 0 1 6 | w w w.t h at s m a g s . c o m

When the dust settled and the People’s Republic was founded in 1949, one of Mao’s first projects was to use a common language as part of building a united people. Moser sees this as vital: “The future stability and cohesion of the republic would depend on the answers.”

The project was daunting, as Moser points out: “Is there such a thing as ‘the Chinese language’? Should the Chinese people share a common tongue? How should it be defined? How should pronunciation, vocabulary and correct usage be determined? Should Chinese continue to use the centuries-old character system, or should it be replaced by an alphabet, or some other phonetic system?”

The result was “an artificially constructed hybrid form, a linguistic patchwork of compromises based upon expediency, history and politics.” And the project remains ongoing; according to the Chinese Ministry of Education, about a third of the country’s population remains unable to communicate in Putonghua – the “ambitious” target is for all Chinese people to be Mandarin-speakers by 2050.

And then there’s the writing; endless replacement alphabets were suggested, but in the end the characters survived, perhaps in part thanks to a chat between Mao and Stalin.

However, 515 characters and 54 character components were simplified in 1956, cutting the number of strokes needed in writing by about an eighth; a second round of simplification was proposed in 1977, but the push back was too strong this time, from people who saw this as a form of cultural desecration.

The Mandarin project has in most aspects been impressively successful, and ironically one sign of this is regional variation. “Even when Putonghua becomes the dominant language in a region, it is seldom heard in its pure form; the evolving norm is Putonghua spoken with local accents and features.”

t has been almost two years since Li Na announced her decision to retire from professional tennis as a result of the chronic injuries to her knees. Since then, the nine WTA singles and two Grand Slam singles titles winner has been keeping busy. You can see her face plastered around the country with high profile commercial endorsements for national brands as well as through her engagements as the spokesperson for various non-profit organizations. In addition to that, she’s also been traveling to different cities within China as an ambassador for tennis to promote the sport and most recently appeared at a press conference at her birthplace to lend support to the Wuhan Open.

On a more personal level, Li and her husband Jiang Shan welcomed their first child, Alisa, to the world in June 2015.

She’s currently pregnant with her second child and is due to give birth before December. In many public appearances after her retirement, she’s repeatedly expressed the joys of focusing on her duties as a mother.

Though she’s been a playing tennis on a professional level since 1999, Li Na wrote in her autobiography, My Life, that “it was only in 2009 that I really entered the professional arena, so before that, it’s more accurate to say I was a vocational athlete.”

She was referring to her mixed feelings toward tennis, which she started training under the orders of her parents and had initially resented playing the sport. “I was the happiest in the last two or three years [of my tennis career]. At that point, I understood myself more and had learned how to become better,” she says at an publicity event for her pregnancy diary last month.

Li Na

Li is referring to the period when she shot to stardom with her performance. She became the first and only Grand Slam singles champion from Asia with her victory against Francesca Schiavone of Italy at the 2011 French Open. Three years later, she won her second and final Grand Slam title at the 2014 Australian Open, defeating Dominika Cibulkova in straight sets – making history once again as the first Asian to ever win the tournament.

At the age of 32 and seemingly at the peak of her career, the announcement of her decision to retire in September 2014 came as a surprise to some – but it was really just a matter of time. “It was the hardest decision I’d made in my life… and I made it only after it became clear there was nothing more that could be done for my knees,” she says at the event.

In her open letter of retirement, Li Na wrote, “After four knee surgeries and hundreds of shots injected into my knee weekly to alleviate swelling and pain, my body is begging me to stop…

My chronic injuries will never again let me be the tennis player I can be…

Walking away from the sport, effective immediately, is the right decision for me and my family.”

After stopping her intense training and professional competitions for nearly two years, the tennis legend’s nagging injury isn’t affecting her everyday routine. “It doesn’t really bother me now that I don’t need to engage in extreme levels of physical activity,” Li explains. “I’d like to have one more knee surgery but the recovery period is quite long and I’ve got a lot to do. When I can clear [my schedule for] eight months, I’ll probably get that done.”

With another child on the way, she admits that she’s actually more nervous for the second pregnancy – mostly because there’s another one-year-old at home for her to take care of as well. When asked whether she’d want her children to follow her footsteps and pursue a career in sports, Li Na replies: “My husband and I don’t want to tell my baby that Mom was a tennis player. Even though Jiang Shan and I were both tennis professionals, I think each child should have the freedom to choose what they want to be when they grow up, and not just follow what their parents did.”

As for what she misses the most about being a worldrenowned professional tennis player, Li Na says, “I miss the ability to test myself and my opponents on the court. This is a feeling that’s hard to get now.”

It was the hardest decision I’d made in my life… I made it only after it became clear that there was nothing more that could be done for my knees

Chef Christopher Pitts’ Former Life as a Trials Rider on the US National Team

any Shanghai-based food lovers know Christopher Pitts for his work at Table No. 1 by Jason Atherton, but very few are aware that in his previous life, the talented chef was an observed trials cyclist for the US national team.

The Memphis native first took an interest in mountain biking at the age of 13 because of his father. “It was my first real passion. I was almost about to drop out of high school because I didn’t find any of the academic subjects interesting. All I wanted to do was to ride my bike,” Pitts tells me.

Pitts was first introduced to observed trial – a discipline of mountain biking in which riders compete by passing through an obstacle course without setting foot on the ground – at a national competition in California when he turned 16. “I thought it was the most amazing thing in the entire world. It was fascinating to see how people can balance a bicycle on one wheel without any assistance.”

Coincidentally, Pitts also started developing his other passion – cooking – at the same age. “I’ve always loved the concept of using your hands to create something that you can eat; to me that’s absolutely wonderful.”

Pitts notes that he’s consciously chosen to pursue a ‘niche’ in both his athletic and culinary careers. “My original path was mountain biking. Choosing to go with observed trial helped me progress quicker and learn a skill that other people didn't have, and I was able to perform in stunt shows to earn some income. In my culinary career, had I stayed in the US, I could’ve been a good cook in a sea of thousands of other good cooks.

Coming to China is also like picking a niche – finding a place where talent is needed, which also allows some room for me to find out who [I am as a cook].”

Christopher Pitts

COVER STORY

When he was around 16, the state champion in mountain bike races began shifting his focus to observed trial and had become a professional trials rider by the age of 18. It was an important year for Pitts, who won first place in his first ever competition in this discipline. Later, he also qualified for the US national team to compete in the World Championship in Switzerland, which turned out to be a very humbling experience.

“Americans in general are very nationalistic; we’re told from day one that we’re the best in many things. You feel so proud to have made it to the top of the country,” Pitts reflects on the competition. “Ironically, the US didn’t place in any of the categories that year. Even though we were amazing back home, the Europeans completely crushed us. That in itself was a good experience – once you’ve played with the big boys, you know it’s a different ball game.”

Shortly afterwards, Pitts started to put more effort into his cooking and had opted to go to culinary school for formal training. “I couldn’t keep it going. There’s only so much money you can make in professional sports. You might be able to get sponsorships for your equipment or travel expenses, but it’s not going to pay your rent,” he says of the main reason for the career transition.

A life-changing injury to his left foot in his early 20s forced him to give up the sport on a professional level entirely. While he was practicing his tricks on his day off from a restaurant in Atlanta, he fell off a wall and his foot landed on a piece of rock that broke his metacarpal. For the next six months, Pitts was forced to stay away from

two of his favorite things – his bike and the kitchen.

“It was one of the worst things that has ever happened to me,” Pitts says, recalling the darkest moments of his life when he developed a mild addiction to painkillers for a short period of time. “Since my teens, I was always focused on biking and had to be in great health so I never went out drinking, never did recreational drugs or smoked cigarettes because these things would affect my performance.”

“You think [drug addiction] is something that you have to actively seek out, but you don’t realize how easily you can develop it. It was terrifying – not having control over your body, which was something that I’d always taken care of,” he adds.

Looking back at his transition from a professional athlete to a cook, Pitts says, “The trickiest part was losing the ego. I went from being one of the best in the entire country (at trials riding) to being one of the worst (as an entry-level cook), but my ego was still telling me everything I was doing was great.

Just because you succeeded in one thing doesn’t mean it will automatically carry over to the next thing you do.”

Pitts adds, “For both cycling and cooking, you need tons of willpower to keep going. If I’m failing at doing a trick on my bike, I have to keep doing it time and again until I succeed. The same goes for cooking. I’ve messed up everything that you can possibly think of. I’ve overcooked and undercooked every piece of meat and got yelled at for it. At the end of the day, it’s the failure that makes you as good as you are.”

ith his small figure and bronze skin tone, Zou Shiming looks like anything but an Olympic boxing champion at first glance. Wearing a casual black t-shirt, black pants and with a Starbucks cup in hand, the soft-spoken boxer sits down with me at his office in Minhang, sharing snippets of his celebrated career with pride.

He starts off with the 2008 Beijing Olympics: “That was quite intense. I fought like it was my last match because by 2012 I’d be 30. I couldn’t afford to lose.” The two-time Olympic gold medalist couldn’t contain his excitement while talking about that pivotal moment in his career eight years ago, when he won China’s first ever gold medal in Olympic boxing (also the first for Zou).

It all began back in the 2004 Summer Olympics where Zou had first caught global attention. While he’d only won the bronze medal that year, it was the very first Olympic medal for China in boxing – essentially putting his home country on the map in his discipline.

But like the fierce fighter in the ring that he is, Zou was not satisfied. In the years between the Athens and Beijing Games, he had won two World Amateur Boxing Championships as well as the Doha Asian Games, working hard toward his goal – an Olympic gold medal – which he eventually won in 2008.

“When I finally stepped onto the podium [in Beijing], I felt a huge relief. Snippets of my bitter training days and pains I suffered played in front of my eyes like a movie. It was a very emotional moment,” Zou says.

Having been an athlete since the age of 17, the 35-year-old

boxer is more aware than anyone of the meaning behind representing his country in the ring. “Nothing could ever replace that feeling,” Zou says. “Athletes are some of the few who can make the flag rise because of their own effort. When everyone stood up to sing the national anthem while we stood in the center of the ring, that was the proudest moment in my life.”

However, shortly after the 2012 London Games when Zou won another gold medal, he decided to retire from the national team and switch to professional boxing to pursue another dream of his: the WBO Boxing Championship title.

Many would consider this a smoother, easier path for Zou. Since his departure from the national team, he’s proven himself by taking home several WBO International Flyweight titles. There are, however, new things for him to worry about. “It’s a bit risky for me as I’ve got a team (of assistants, PR people, etc.) to take care of. Apart from matches, I have to manage things like booking hotels or flights, or finding places to eat. None of these were my concern when I was on the national team,” Zou tells me. “But the good thing is that I have more freedom, and I get to spend more time with my family.”

With the flexibility of his schedule, Zou has also been participating in various film and TV projects, most notably in a small role in Transformers 4, as well as one of the most popular Chinese reality TV series, Dad, Where Are We Going?

In one of the episodes, Zou and his elder son Xuanxuan traveled to Inner Mongolia, where he participated in wrestling matches with local kids. No match to his stronger, bigger opponent, Xuanxuan was pushed to the ground time and again, but he fought on. “[My son] reminds me of myself during my training days; he’s a real fighter,” Zou says. “I keep telling him it’s okay to lose, but you have to get up. Boys can get injured, but they should never be fragile.”

Although he’s been quite active in showbiz in recent years, Zou assures us that his focus will still be boxing because it’s his best buddy of 20 years and is something that would be “hard to break up with.” However, the goals of the boxing veteran, who retained the WBO International Flyweight title after a match against Jozsef Ajtai of Hungary at New York’s Madison Square Garden in June, has shifted slightly in recent years.

“My personal success is not real success. I want to see thousands of ‘Zou Shimings’ out there fighting and winning medals; that would be real success to me.”

In fact, that’s exactly what Zou’s business is all about – to promote boxing culture and provide more opportunities for young boxers to realize their dreams by starting boxing gyms, organizing matches and teaching them new boxing techniques.

Fully aware of the current status of some retired athletes, Zou says he has one more hope. “Not all athletes can be champions. For those who have retired and still want to contribute, I want to provide job opportunities for them so they can join our clubs or become our coaches.”

“This is why I’m trying hard to promote this sport. I’m lucky because the popularity of sport is on the rise and people care more about fitness now. I think I’ll expand to more cities to popularize boxing if everything goes well.”

Besides finding ways to pass the torch on to a new generation of young Chinese boxers, Zou’s next target is more personal: “I really want a daughter!”

ater has been a part of Stéfanie Vallée’s life for many years. The 10-time Canadian Champion in whitewater kayaking and was ranked fourth in the world before she retired from the sport in 2012. She’s also an award-wining artist specializing in the watercolor technique known as indirect painting, where Vallée creates each piece of work without a brush.

“That’s a very good question, I’ve never thought about it like this,” the 41-year-old Shanghai-based Quebecois says when I asked whether immersing her life and career in water was a conscious decision. “I’d say it’s not. I remember taking swimming lessons when I was 3 and actually being scared of water.”

She didn’t overcome her fear of it until later in life – at the age of 16 – when she started kayaking while working as a summer camp counselor in her hometown. “The natural beauty of where we paddled was astonishing. The river sounded like music to my ears,” says Vallée. “There were other experienced kayakists going upstream [while we were there], looping from the current to the eddy, rolling upside down and coming back on top without falling out of the kayak. They looked like dancers on water.”

Having never been a sporty person in her early years (“I would always find excuses to skip phys. ed. classes”), her first professional race at the Quebec Cup was a disaster. “I was so ashamed [of my performance], and there were so many spectators watching.” But this

song that she used to sing when she was young – as having shaped her desire to become a kayakist. “The first verse goes like this: ‘Ma petite est comme l’eau, elle est comme l’eau vive… Courez, courez vite si vous le pouvez, Jamais, jamais vous ne la rattraperez (My girlfriend is like water, she’s like running water… Run, run, quick as you can, Never, never, you’ll never catch up to her),’” Vallée recites the lyrics, reflecting upon her fear of water as a kid.

“I’m strongly motivated to get rid of my fears one by one. [My careers in sports and arts] were both introduced to me by others, and all I did was to accept the challenges and be open to a journey of self-discovery,” she adds.

“After achieving so many goals in various aspects of my life (sports, art and coaching), I can say one thing: it’s worthwhile to have dreams and pursue them. Looking back, the most rewarding moments weren’t about any medals, but the whole journey and all the occasions when I didn’t give up.”

experience only made Vallée more determined to become the best kayakist in her country – hiring coaches who were willing to work with late bloomers (most professionals start training at age 10) with her own money. “I used to train twice a day in 60- or 90-minute sessions, either on water or at the gym. I did that six days a week, 11 months a year, for 15 years,” Vallée says of her rigorous routine.

All her hard work paid off in the end. In the next decade or so, she snatched 10 national Canadian championship titles and represented her home country in races around the world. She retired at the peak of her game in 2012 – when she placed fourth at the World Championship in France – and the decision was partially a personal one. Since 2008, Vallée had already been living in Shanghai. Shortly after her last race in France, she embarked on “the most challenging and at times threatening wild water descent of [her] life,” adopting a little girl she met at an orphanage – which took her three years to complete as a single mother. Even with all the sacrifices she had to make (including giving up her athletic career) to make time for her daughter, Vallée says, “I’ve never regretted my decision to move on because I know I will always be a kayakist and athlete in spirit. My daughter has just done her first paddle stroke with the Whitewater China School, and she loves it!”

Her athletic spirit still lives on in her artwork – something that she started back in Canada and carried on as she moved across the Pacific to China. “I was kind of pushed into it. When I was young, I’d wake up at 5am to paint and started selling my artwork for CAD1 or 2 and I did my first solo exhibition in 2000.”

She notes that her specific niche of watercolor painting – the indirect method (pouring the watercolor onto the canvas and letting it flow freely to create shapes and patterns) – makes her feel free and grounded all at once. “Painting without using a brush makes me feel like I must ‘listen to the water’ (a skill she learned during her years of practicing whitewater kayaking) – it teaches me how to create balance and beauty.”

Vallée’s careers in sports and arts are also translated to her work as an executive coach. Her creativity became a great asset for developing programs targeting one’s problem solving and analytical thinking skills. Her talent for ‘listening to the water’ to anticipate its strength, direction and speed and make quick decisions in life threatening situations in the river was applied to listening to the needs and concerns of her clients, and helping top level managers realize their full potential and face leadership challenges.

Thinking back to her humble beginnings, Vallée credits ‘L’eau Vive’ (‘Running Water’ in English) – an old French

How China Came to Dominate the Olympics in a Century

When the Greek prince Pierre de Coubertin revived the Olympics for the modern age, his invitation to China’s Qing Dynasty rulers to participate in the 1896 games was met with confusion.

Now over a century later, China is an undeniable Olympian power. Here are a few milestone moments along the way.

Adolescents in Transition

Helping Your Kids Cope with Moving

By Peshali Fernando MS, MFT

We all know first hand what it’s like moving to another city. It may be tough on adults, but it’s even tougher on kids. So how do you help make the transition smoother for your children?

W

e live in a world where people are constantly moving around us – it is a global phenomenon.

The process includes packing up our house and belongings and moving away from our loved ones and friends. The implications of these situations vary and at times may be difficult to manage. The situation can get more complicated if you have adolescents in your family, because the transition to an unknown place may be overwhelming, sad and intolerable, but parents should not take this personally.

According to Erik Erickson’s developmental theory, adolescents go through a stage of identity versus role confusion.

During this stage, social relationships become important, and they may spend time exploring bonds between the group of peers and adults outside of the family. These relationships in return can actively influence the development of a true sense of identity.

When adolescents have to leave their relationships and present environment, they inevitably risk losing some of the most influential relationships in their lives. During such times children can become more emotional and irrational, especially when they feel that their world is turned upside down.

Resilience allows humans to positively adapt to new life circumstances, to ‘bounce back from a negative experience.’ The good 5 6 | a u g u s t 2 0 1 6 | w w w.t h at s m a g s . c o m

news is that adolescents are often equipped with a significant dose of resilience. In most situations children are resilient and will successfully transition. However, it is important to understand that resilience is seen as a process that can be learned and implemented through support, understanding and positive communication.

Tips for parents/adults:

“The good news is that adolescents are often equipped with a significant dose of resilience”

• Encourage your kids to talk and ask questions like “Why are we moving?” Be honest when you answer.

• Listen to what your child is trying to communicate to you, not only their words but most importantly their feelings.

• If possible, get your child physically involved in the move. This can help them to mentally prepare for the transition.

• Model positive transition behaviors and communication, as children will look at how you are handling the change.

• Share stress relief methods that may work for them.

• Encourage them to keep a diary or a blog or to talk to a teacher or other adults if needed.

• Encourage your child to engage in activities in your family’s current location and keep in touch with people they leave behind.

• If possible plan a return trip ahead of time.

Adolescents process multiple information and norms through peer comparison, and often peer support is the best way for them to process the transition. Peer groups become safe places for them to share and can be found in most cities at schools or community centers.

Mental health issues can be brought on by transition. If these have not been resolved or coping skills have not been developed, symptoms of adjustment, anxiety, and depression can become more severe and may result in more complex mental health issues.

Consult a mental health professional for assistance and support.

Entrepreneurs of Shanghai

An All-in-One Cook and Tech Entrepreneur Edited by Alyssa Wieting

Originally from California, Kevin Yu is a serial entrepreneur who uses technology to empower people’s lives. After building a career in gaming and creating new social networks in the industry, Yu is now bringing the fun and appeal of video games to food. He is the founder and CEO of SideChef (when he’s not serving up his secret recipe for spinach artichoke dip), one of the ‘Best Apps of 2014’ according to USA Today, and most recently the ‘favorite cooking app’ of The New York Times. This three-time TEDx speaker gives us the lowdown on how he started his company and the difficulties he faced along the way.

Elevator pitch: tell us what you do in fewer than 50 words.

SideChef’s mission is to allow anyone to cook. Our award-winning app is essentially a GPS navigation system for the cooking process, guiding cooks at all levels from start to finish, step-by-step. Later this year, the app will also offer grocery delivery services and smart kitchen connectivity to further our mission.

Why did you choose Shanghai?

Shanghai’s ability to draw in curious minds, skilled talent and restless hearts is unlike any other city I’ve seen. I was fortunate to meet several likeminded programmers also looking to build something that hadn’t been built before. We crammed into a threebedroom apartment in Xujiahui, where we coded, cooked, worked out and played video games. We emerged six months later and had our MVP (minimum viable product), which was the first version of SideChef.

What was your motivation and inspiration for starting your business?

Everyone has maybe 80 years in this world.

My grandfather, who just passed, had 102. He left me with the same message he had when I was growing up: Use the gifts you have to live up to your potential. I was lucky to have him in my life, because early on I knew my goal in business and life would be to allow everyone to live to his or her full potential. Business is my vehicle. Cooking is where we start.

What are the biggest challenges of setting up a business here?

Like any new environment, understanding the framework in which the business operates within is incredibly important.

For us, our team is very diverse, made up of members from more than seven different countries. Understanding our team’s motivations, values and abilities has been both our greatest challenge and strength, as I believe diversity can either segregate people or produce extraordinary results.

“I believe diversity can either segregate people or produce extraordinary results” What is the greatest lesson you have learned doing business in China?

Nothing is final. Really. In three years, I’ve seen investors changing their minds from ‘no’ to ‘yes,’ employees quit and then come back recharged, and company tragedies followed by new heights of company achievements.

What is the craziest thing you have done for your business?

Sometimes you go totally broke. Sometimes you get deported. Sometimes you fly around the world to be on TV for two minutes.

Sometimes you also fly around the world

multiple times for deals that fall through.

Sometimes you get auctioned off for a date by your company for charity. And sometimes, with a little luck, things come through and it all works out. I’ve experienced all of the above.

Do you see China as a springboard for taking your business international?

Both Chinese companies and consumers are becoming more and more globally-minded.

This, coupled with the influx of financial resources, human resources, and increasing intellectual capital, will no doubt allow globally-minded entrepreneurs to springboard their products and services internationally in the years to come.

Which Chinese or China-based company do you admire the most and why?

I absolutely love the Beijing-based company Niu. In my mind, they are the Tesla of scooters and are bringing a higher standard of product and services with incredible design, industry leading eco-friendly production and product standards and experiential marketing that really speaks to the new age Chinese consumer.

Give us three words that you need to make it as an entrepreneur in Shanghai.

Grit. Versatility. Awareness.

One Organization, Many Objectives

How The Behring Global Educational Foundation is Changing

By Caleb Jasso

T

here are many things that people take for granted – the ease of traveling, the loving embrace of family, perhaps even the ability to see and hear. However, there are things that people may not appreciate until they are gone, such as the ability to walk, the ability to learn in a supportive environment and even access to clean drinking water.

Although all these may seem unrelated, one company has aimed to provide solutions to all of them. What once started as an international organization to solely address the struggle of people with disabilities around the world, the Behring Global Educational

5 8 | a u g u s t 2 0 1 6 | w w w.t h at s m a g s . c o m

Foundation (BGEF) has drastically grown and changed over the past year to fulfill the many objectives of its founder and CEO Ken Behring.

While traveling around China, Behring saw that there were several problems in both rural and urban communities that he wanted to address. Once he noticed that there was so much to be done for people who were unable to provide for themselves, Behring sought to expand his foundation to help. He explains, “It’s hard for me to ever feel any real contentment, because I am never satisfied. For every person that we help, there are millions more in need. The real legacy I hope to leave is to

get more people helping other people, so that after I’m gone, the work I’ve done will continue to multiply.”

One of the many projects BGEF embraces is the reinvigoration of museums. While visiting museums in Shanghai, Behring felt that they lacked a sense of wonder. According to him, a museum should seek to inspire and instill a desire for education and knowledge.

Behring immediately set out to improve the Natural History Museum of Shanghai and the Science and Technology Museum.

In order to get children involved in an active education and gain a greater interest in history, BGEF teams up with the Natural

“They succeeded in donating over one million wheelchairs to those in dire need in China”

History Museum. Every year the Foundation hosts an event there placing children (aged 8 to 15) into groups that compete to develop the best presentations on important matters using primary and secondary research. Upon completing their projects, the children then present their findings to a panel of judges made up of an educator, an expert in the field of study and a professional with an objective and open mind.

Angie Shen, chief representative of BGEF, says, “Perhaps if we work hard enough to show children the benefits of education and helping others, they won’t want to just stop here with writing a paper and building a board. We hope to inspire them to take initiative and take their work to the next level, and to continue to strive to further their charitable work.”

Oddly enough, BGEF actually began as the internationally recognized The Wheelchair Foundation, which helps to provide wheelchairs to impoverished peo-

ple with disabilities around the world. The Wheelchair Foundation – referred to as the BGEF 1.0 in-house – represents the original structure upon which the company was able to expand and create multiple charities with several different focuses. It has now become one of many projects under the large umbrella of BGEF, and is fully integrated into their mission. Through the noble pursuit, hard work and dedication of a talented staff, this project has succeeded in the goal of donating over one million wheelchairs to those in dire need in China.

Shen tells us that their work is not only important to the people who benefit directly from a wheelchair, but also in their development into the new organization, BGEF. Once inspired by a friend in Beijing who found working in non-profits to be a rewarding experience, Shen decided to join BGEF, which provides her with a genuine purpose to help both young people and the disabled.

“I think our foundation has been serving

as a catalyst, changing the way charitable work is conducted by building private public partnerships and reforming the missions of museums in China as a whole. To think that I have been a small part of that history in the making is what gets me up every morning.”

Combined with new educational initiatives and many other side projects, BGEF is still finding its way and is in the process of transition; however, the group has great potential and will surely do great things both in Shanghai and internationally. We are keeping our eyes peeled for what they do next. to learn more and donate, visit www.bgefoundation.org and www.wheelchairfoundation.org.

The MEAT Win a Champagne Brunch for Two

Chef Michael Wendling is expanding his culinary prowess beyond the enclave that houses his existing eateries Cuivre, T for Thai and Cu2+ with a new French café inside Plaza 66 on Nanjing Xi Lu. Saveur (that’s French for ‘savor’) will take on French food with a healthy twist. Guess that means steak béarnaise is a no-no?

Ever wake up at the weekend feeling like you could eat a horse? Yeah, us too. There are times only a free-flow buffet will do, and for that we recommend The MEAT at the Kerry Hotel Pudong. Here, RMB350 (plus 10 percent service and tax) gets you access to a buffet of cold cuts and antipasti, fresh seafood, terrines, cheeses, steak, house smoked salmon, one main course (cooked to order), dessert plus free-flow beer, wine and soft drinks. The little ones can also work up an appetite with two-hour access to the hotel’s Adventure Zone jungle gym.

Better still, The MEAT is offering two all-inclusive passes to one lucky winner (and they’ll throw in a bottle of Perrier Jouët Grand Brut Champagne too). Fancy a flutter? Add Thats_Shanghai on WeChat and stay tuned for the competition announcement.

In thrilling news, Ruijin Cajun is back on the scene with a space of their own at 800 Changshu Lu. Known as purveyors of Cajun cuisine, these guys cook up a storm of ‘po’tine,’ crawfish étoufée, jambalaya, po’boys and delicious Andouille sausage.

Restaurant doyenne Kelley Lee continues to tease us with details of her latest enterprise, ‘Cobra Lily,’ a casual restaurant and bar due to open in Xintiandi. Marking Lee’s first foray into Asian food, Cobra Lily joins her other establishments Boxing Cat Brewery, Sproutworks, Tepito and Liquid Laundry, a second branch of which will also soon open in the Shanghai Centre.

There’s never a bad time for a burger, especially late at night. That’s what’s going down at new fast food eatery Midnight Burger… well, not exactly – they shut at 11pm. Still, the hefty burgers and fries with truffle mayo look tasty though. Stay tuned for our review next month.

A trendy new restaurant and bar called ‘Opposite’ has appeared at 222 Yan’an Xi Lu in a beautiful villa-style building. Still very much in soft opening, the place serves a broad mix of contemporary Western food.

Let’s hope it’s good or we’ll be making plenty of ‘opposite’ puns in our forthcoming review.

Chi-Q Anyong Haseyo, Blackmore Wagyu Beef Rare is the restaurant that defies initial impressions, but Chi-Q, an upmarket Korean restaurant at Three on the Bund, is arguably that place. There were plenty who said a high-end barbecue wouldn’t work, yet under Korean head chef Bina Yu’s guidance the restaurant has enjoyed increasing popularity, bringing in premium ingredients to transform barbecue dining into a new experience. Blackmore beef, a 100 percent pedigree Australian wagyu, is the latest ingredient to hit Chi-Q’s tableside charcoal grills. Lusciously fatty, the evenly marbled cuts cook beautifully on a grill.

Ocean Grounds is the brainchild of California native Jim Lee, who takes coffee very, very seriously. Like the first Shanghai branch in Minhang, this new store in Hong Kong Plaza serves 'OG Hand Crafted Coffee' from RMB4358, including their famous ‘New Orleans’ iced coffee (though the less fiscally committed can find classic espressos for RMB20).

Noodle Legends of Shanghai 3 Extraordinary Bowls That Set Our City Apart

Good noodles are a dime a dozen in Shanghai. Thick or thin, spicy or mild, served with or without soup; the affordability and plentitude of quality noodles are one of our favorite things about life in Shanghai. There are, however, some noodle shops that are one level above from the rest. Places that take noodles to an extreme where others fear to tread. So come take a walk on the wild side with us, we’re diving in straight at deep end.

BY Betty Richardson

Chang Jiao Tang Mian ～长脚汤面

O

wned by a husband and wife duo, Chang Jiao Tang Mian ('Long Foot Noodle Soup') is a vestige of pre-economic boom Shanghai, operated from a rather dilapidated lane house down an alley on Zhaozhou Lu. Cast any aspersions you may have about eating in such a down at heel place, Chang Jiao’s impeccably old school beef noodle soup is rich enough to compensate.

It’s the husband who does the cooking here, doing so with a consistently stern look upon his face every night until supply runs out.

Luckily his wife is the hospitable one; she’ll tell you all about her daughter studying in America, and that time Anthony Bourdain came to film for the Shanghai episode of Parts Unknown.

特

The bowl begins with few ladles of the exquisite and deeply flavored beef broth into a scalding hot wok, followed by a handful of handmade, centimeter-thick signature noodles. Next a small spoonful of Chang Jiao Mian’s secret weapon: pure beef lard. The noodles bubble furiously, absorbing all the flavor of the broth and beef fat and reducing the stock down further. Last but not least, a handful of fresh greens are thrown in right at the end.

The result is beyond fragrant and delicious. The noodles have a lighter, spongier texture than you’d expect, making this bowl all the easier to finish. A must-visit for intrepid eaters in search of true Shanghainese cooking.

What to order: beef noodle soup (Niú ròu tāng miàn , 牛肉汤面, RMB30)

Cerjerdary ～蟹家大院

T

he Shanghainese are known for their fervent love of hairy crab, fiddly buggers though they are to eat. Owned by devout reformed Buddhist Xu Jing, who has imbued the restaurant’s interiors with a pristine temple-like aesthetic, Cerjerdary (Chinese name 蟹家大院, xiejiadayuan) is in fact a shrine to gourmet opulence. Here steaming bowls of noodles are topped with up to 12 preshelled crabs per portion, and they are nothing short of heavenly.

With fresh crabs shipped in from Yangcheng Lake on the daily, Cerjerdary has a legion of dexterous ayis who spend hours each day

特

shelling the tasty crustaceans. Our personal favorite dish is the crab fat and roe number, which comes topped with gold leaf for extra enlightenment (RMB360).

Quite how Xu Jing marries his religious fervency with the obvious and marvelous excess of these noodles remains as illusive as enlightenment itself. He can often be seen at the back of the restaurant performing tea ceremonies and extolling nuggets of Buddhist wisdom to friends. One thing we know for sure, however, is that these noodles are a fast track to culinary nirvana.

Ding Te Le ～顶特勒粥面馆

Y

ellow croaker noodle soup (黄鱼面) is as ubiquitous as they come at Shanghainese noodle joints, but trust us when we say that Ding Te Le serves the standout example. With a creamy, opaque broth made from simmered fish bones, this classic noodle soup is pretty much the Chinese answer to ramen.

At your standard noodle house, this broth will be fragrant but relatively thin. At Ding Te Le, however, it’s super concentrated and thick, coating every strand of noodle with an exceptional savory flavor that only intensifies as you slurp.

Balancing out this broth is the piquant flavor that comes from preserved vegetables, and strips of dried greens that melt into the soup. Ding Te Le certainly doesn’t skimp on the yellow croaker either, an abundance of (mostly) de-boned bites of fish are the final flourish of this excellent dish.

One bowl is enough to sate a hearty appetite, though if your stomach can make room for one of Ding Te Le’s famous five spice fried pork chops, your visit will be truly complete. Best of all, this place is open all day, every day.

特

What to order: yellow croaker noodle soup (Xuě cài huángyú wēi miàn , 雪菜 黄鱼煨面, RMB32), fried pork chop (Zhūpái , 猪排, RMB8).

The Sweet Life

Pierre Marcolini on Bringing Haute Chocolaterie to China

BY Betty Richardson

I

t’s a cloudy day in Xintiandi, and Pierre Marcolini looks as if he’s having a very serious phone conversation that mustn’t be interrupted. He’s tall and important looking in a crisp white shirt and navy pant suits, and I awkwardly pass the time making conversation with his PR lady. A few minutes later and phone stashed away, Marcolini is a different person. “Helloooo, Betty Richardson!” he says with an enormous grin, still standing long after both his China general manager, Nicolas Bouve, and I have sat down. He’s definitely not the prim minimalist you’d expect from a man famous for coining the term ‘haute chocolaterie.’

Yet that’s exactly what Marcolini did with his brand of ultra luxury chocolate, twisting the traditional notion of Belgian artisanal confection into the stratosphere of a designer label modeled along the lines of haute couture. Having established successful boutiques in Europe, America and Japan, Marcolini now has his sights set on the China market, with the opening of a pop-up store at K11 Art Mall, and his first flagship boutique in IFC Mall, due to open October 1.

Born with an incurable sweet tooth, Marcolini’s earliest chocolate memory is of eating merveilleux ('marvelous'), a Belgian treat made of meringue, fine chocolate, and Chantilly cream. “There are two sides to a merveilleux,” Marcolini explains enthusiastically. “When first made, it is crunchy with soft layers of cream. But, if left to cool for a few hours, it undergoes an evolution! The humidity of the cream infiltrates the meringue, and it becomes a different product with a transformed texture. How you like it depends on your mood.”

So how does Marcolini like his? “I like both! I’m a very open minded guy,” which is quite an unusual quality for one in the notoriously particular patisserie profession.

“Actually, I’d say an open mind has not only been the key to staying creative, but also to expanding our business into other markets around the world. If I’d stayed the same all these years I would never have made it out of Belgium, and

would still be working alongside my country’s myriad chocolatiers. For us to succeed in far flung markets like Japan, we had to use our imagination and create products that would appeal to the tastes of consumers there.”

Lack of imagination, or at least competitiveness, doesn’t seem to be a problem for Marcolini. Bored by an early brief during culinary school to make a simple box of chocolates, Marcolini responded by creating a miniature music bandstand filled with layers of chocolates inside.

This competitive streak led Marcolini to over 40 subsequent international competitions, finally clinching the World Champion title in 1995.

So where does his inspiration come from these days? “It’s never from one particular thing, but rather from my travels, people I meet, beautiful restaurants, perfume, modern art, and encounters of all kinds.”

An exception to this rule is perfume.

“I love the way floral scents combine with spices, citrus and so on. Chocolate, with its strong aromatic profile, is the perfect canvas on which to experiment with different combinations.”

Versatility of chocolate aside, one of the cornerstones of the Pierre Marcolini brand is ‘single origin chocolate,' or chocolate made with beans from one specific farm as opposed to a blend from miscellaneous locales. “I started choosing my own beans 15 years ago. We went to

Ecuador, Venezuela and Mexico to make chocolates that would illustrate the varying flavors distinct to these places.”

It’s here that the term ‘haute chocolaterie’ comes into play. “The flavors and aromas of chocolate that comes from different places are so unique, you might even make the comparison with wine. We have one box, called Saveur du Monde (‘Taste of the World’) that contains nine chocolates from different countries, all with the exact same cocoa content of 72 percent. The differences in taste and even colors are incredibly pronounced, allowing consumers to sample, savor and decide which they like best.”

“To me, the [luxury chocolate] market is global. What differentiates me from mainstream brands like Godiva? I believe luxury is discovering a taste of something beautiful that you’ve never tried before.”

The question for Pierre Marcolini now becomes whether these dark, strongly flavored chocolates will appeal to Chinese consumers. After all, chocolate is a relatively new import to a market that has little of the reverence that Europe has for dessert and confection.

“Our boutiques carry a range of products including macarons, truffles and a variety of individual chocolates. To our surprise, we’ve found that dark and single origin chocolates are some of the bestsellers.

Our customers seem quite keen to try them.” Looks like it might not just be Marcolini who’s taking on chocolate with an open mind.

The Cannery

West Coast Is the Best Coast

BY Betty Richardson

The Place Of all the restaurants and bars that opened last year, the place that stole the show was arguably The Nest. Or should that be ‘changed the game?’ The Nest found a unique way of tapping exactly into what upwardly mobile locals want from a late night venue: a buzzy and exclusive atmosphere; food that can be shared; plenty of seating and most importantly – no awkward obligations to dance.

We can see why proprietor Mark Klingspon stuck to a similar formula for his next venture, The Cannery. Though this time around, Klingspon went for something a little closer to his heart, channeling the food and drink culture of his native West Coast Canada into The Cannery. Think lots of seafood, with plenty of whisky and rye to wash it down with.

The Food

Seafood comes in many different forms at The Cannery; you’ll find steamers of clams, mussels and Dungeness crab, oysters, grilled lobsters, fish and chips, poke, and even a few Mediterranean-leaning dishes too.

Surprisingly, little of it comes from a can, though the restaurant does have a working canning facility and may start introducing some artisanal canned products onto the menu. There’s also a fire pit in an enclosed courtyard that will smoke whole flayed salmon, though sadly this hasn’t seen much action during the miserable weather of the annual plum rain season.

6 6 | A u g u s t 2 0 1 6 | www . t h at s mag s . c o m

Nevertheless, what’s available now is tasty and unfussy. Standouts include a glazed and smoked tuna jaw (RMB98), though this often sells out due to its popularity. We also loved the ruggedness of the charcoal-grilled lobster with lashings of butter (RMB198), something no lobster should be served without.

From the Mediterranean corner, grilled octopus with watercress, preserved lemon and lentils (RMB108) is a dish that shows the softer side of head chef Freddy Raoult’s cooking. As does the fragrant and light dill brined halibut with summer faro salad (RMB78). However, on one of our visits some dishes were heavy-handed with the flaked salt.

For all this talk of fish, meat gets a significant look in from The Cannery’s diners (“And please… eat more fish,” urges a line on the menu). But who can resist the appeal of duck liver mousse with grilled toast for RMB48? The Cannery’s is not notable for its uniqueness, but it’s done right and we want it again.

Coffee and steak might not seem like an auspicious pairing, but admittedly, the 'prairie-grilled' porterhouse with West Coast blend coffee rub (RMB888) is downright delicious. Obviously not one for strident traditionalists, the bitterness of the coffee plays nicely with the fattiness of the porterhouse cut. It comes sliced, so we’re guessing you’ll have to share it with your fellow diners.

Do save room for desserts. Mini donuts with a limey cream cheese dip were exquisite and served hot – we hope they’ll continue to keep serving them this way. There

are others too, including a chocolate and vanilla ice cream number, but we’ll leave the secret ingredient in that one to you. Ok, it’s bacon. 2/3

The Vibe

Significantly more chilled out than The Nest, The Cannery succeeds as a cool but not too cool place to eat, drink and be relatively merry. We say that because all things considered, it’s less of a nightlife destination than its older sibling on the Bund. Here, you can sip draft beer (fruity Kentucky Peach Barrel Wheat is my favorite, sue me) rather sweet cocktails by former Starling mixologist Michael Chen; or a first rate selection of whisky and rye – all of which are available by glass starting from RMB48. 1/1

Value for Money

A step down in price from The Nest, The Cannery gets it right in many ways, and coming with a group will allow you to get the best out of this place in terms of bang for buck. 1/1

TOTAL VERDICT: 4/5

Price: RMB200-400 per person Who’s going: young locals and expats Good for: groups, seafood, whisky

also leaky, the oddly smooth edges of this steak gave the impression it had been kept in a storage bag for some time. Luckily a jolly little baked potato with sour cream, bacon and chive filled the gaps that our dour steak couldn’t. 1.5/3

Playing It Safe

BY Betty Richardson

The Vibe The Place Let it be said that the Portman Shanghai Centre on Nanjing Xi Lu is one of our favorite places in Shanghai. Designed by American architect Jack Portman in 1990, the ground floor atrium is a masterpiece of open-air communal space, cavernous and yet teeming with subtle motifs that pay homage to the city’s illustrious Art Deco past. In recent times, the place has undergone something of a renaissance, playing host to hip new residents like Constellation bar, Ubuka and Alan Wong’s, with a second branch of the eternally trendy Liquid Laundry also due to make an appearance soon.

Jack Portman also now has the dubious honor of sharing his name with a new steakhouse housed in the Centre, owned by the adjacent Portman Ritz-Carlton hotel.

The Food

Portman’s menu sides with traditional and rather safe steakhouse offerings; there’s your classic Caesar salad, butternut squash soup, beef carpaccio and tomato salad et al. This is all fine – traditional is something you want in a steakhouse – but only if done really well.

French onion soup (RMB85) came to the table full of cheesy promise, but gave way to a

disappointingly thin onion broth beneath.

The New York-style crab cake (RMB90) made little effort to do its namesake proud.

The crab-rich flavor of the cake itself was great, but this was left swimming in a sea of very sweet pink grapefruit and ginger sauce like a morose tropical desert island, topped with uncompromisingly hard avocado slices.

“Surely steak will prove the great redeemer of this place,” we thought, foolishly.

After all, its head chef is none other than Bradley Hull, formerly of the much-lauded 1515 West Chophouse just down the road.

However, only a brief selection of steaks is available.

Choose from flank, striploin (sirloin), tenderloin, or rib-eye, either grass fed Cape Grim MB 2 Angus (i.e. cheaper and less tender), or grain fed Robbins Island MB 7 fullblood wagyu (i.e. better marbled and more expensive).

At the upper end of the spectrum, the thick Cape Grim 380g-rib eye (RMB530) comes off quite well, with a nice charred crust and cooked slightly on the rare side of medium rare. The roasted garlic on the side was particularly tasty, as was the accompanying peppercorn sauce.

Those after a more budget-friendly steak won’t find it here. Even a marbling score of 7 couldn’t make the 220g-flank steak (RMB290) any more enticing. Tough and yet

Smartly decorated inside (not much has changed from the days when this place was Tables Restaurant), the vibe swings from lively at peak times to spookily quiet at others. Cocktails flow slower than they rightfully should in a steakhouse, perhaps due to the fact they must be brought over from the hotel’s Ritz Bar. Kudos to the impeccably polite service staff though. 0.5/1

Value for Money

Over the past few years, local diners have proved themselves ardent fans of steak (who can blame them?). As such, the city is teeming with places that serve it, many of them better in value and choice than Portman’s.

The Shanghai Centre might be undergoing a renaissance, but at this rate it looks like Portman’s isn’t going to be a part of it. 0.5/1

Niku Ryori Yamachan

Next Level Japanese Beef Omakase

BY Betty Richardson

The Place Hongqiao might seem like the boonies to downtown denizens, but in terms of Japanese restaurants it is a veritable cornucopia, dotted with hidden gems that cater to the sizeable community of Japanese expats who call it home.

Niku Ryori Yamachan is one of these places, though quite unlike any Japanese restaurant we’ve visited in Shanghai. Similar to a high-end sushi restaurant in format, the difference here is that fish is supplanted with nine (!) courses of ultra-premium marbled beef, beef and more beef.

The Food

At the bar there is a simple yet blisteringly hot charcoal grill set up.

Manning it is a young Chinese chef who barely looks 19, but cooks with utmost precision and all the seriousness of a civil servant. As a waitress serves us an appetizer comprised almost entirely of beef and pork in various trompe l’oeil disguises, he begins the first course: tongue.

We’ve had grilled tongue at many a Japanese barbecue joint before, but none like this. Typically served in thin cross-section slices that leave it vulnerable to toughness, the tongue here is cut lengthways into long, even batons from the interior of the tongue that are impeccably juicy and bursting with flavor. It is among the best tongue we’ve ever had, with a remarkably steak-like texture.

The next course is more tongue, this time braised in a yohshoku (Japanese-style Western food) bourguignon sauce. Smooth to the point that it looks worryingly akin to barbecue sauce, the surprisingly bright yet subtle flavor of this bourguignon is more refined than the ones at certain French bistros.

Finally, our prodigious baby-faced chef gets to it with the steak, producing two slices of karubi (boneless short ribs). One dressed with fiery Korean pepper and gochujiang, the other slice with a superb salty and sweet soy sauce lightly caramelized from the grill.

6 8 | A u g u s t 2 0 1 6 | www . t h at s mag s . c o m

Rib-eye, tenderloin and sirloin cuts follow suit, each distinct in texture and flavor but with a profound common denominator of fattiness.

Some, like the tenderloin, are so marbled they cannot be in contact with the grill for more than a few seconds before they combust, cooked for just a few seconds under the attentive gaze of our chef. He changes the grill plate with each course to preserve the flavor of each cut.

By the penultimate course we’re virtually dying from beef overload, and a thick slice of tenderloin all but pushes us over the edge.

In one bite it bursts, flooding the mouth with juiciness. We wonder at what point steak this marbled becomes more beef flavored fat. 2.5/3

The Vibe

At RMB1,000 per person for the set menu we tried, Yamachan’s pricing is in line with the city’s upper echelon of restaurants. And while elegant and understated, the interiors are not grand or particularly flashy. This is one of those places where you’re paying for the quality of the ingredients. 1/1

Value for Money

Cerebral and deliberate, indulgent and pleasurable, a meal at Yamachan is a precisely thought-out journey into all that steak can be. It is glorious and a must-try for voracious steak lovers and adventurous eaters. Just do yourself a favor and wear stretchy pants. 1/1

Ramen Nagi

Shanghai’s Latest Ramen Chain Makes a Splash in K11

BY Betty Richardson

The Place We’re lucky enough to be living in a city where ramen drought is no longer a problem. In the past year, Shanghai has seen good quality entrants in the forms of Ramen Samurai Ryu, Ramen Shop and Butao. Universal Ramen Nagi, installed within the bizarrely popular K11 Art Mall, now joins this lineup.

Like Samurai Ryu, Ramen Nagi has a quaint

The Food

The Vibe

If you’ve visited Butao before, you’ll notice a lot of similarities between their menu and the one at Nagi. There’s a ‘Red King’ (spicy flavor), ‘Black King’ (black garlic and calamari ink), ‘Green King’ (olive oil, Parmesan and basil), and Nagi’s proudest creation: ‘Original King Butao’ (tonkotsu pork broth).

The tonkotsu broth is nicely thick without being glue-y and comes with a concentrated pork flavor, which has none of that MSG aftertaste. It is a little salty (as it is supposed to be), but if you have a delicate palate or a kid in tow, there is an option for the broth to be served ‘light’ or ‘extra light.’

Sadly they were sold out of their “richly marbled” chashu (pork belly) on our visit, but the alternative – pork shoulder slices – were quite tender.

Annoyingly, you have to pay RMB10 extra for boiled egg. Also, avoid the wood ear mushroom slivers. These are free at places like Ippudo, but here they cost RMB6 and the portion is minuscule.

Being inside one of the city’s most popular malls, expect a bit of a wait at lunchtime. The place is already popular with K11 denizens, but the queue is fast moving and you can order while you wait. 1/1

Chinese Valentine’s Day Dinner at Casanova Eat, Drink and Love

On the plus side, Ramen Nagi is one of the few ramen joints we’ve found in Shanghai that offer thick noodles in addition to the more commonly found thin variety. These are a delight – springy, al dente and plentiful.

he festive atmosphere never fades at Casanova, and is always celebrated with fine class of taste. While German artist CROW’s “Painted Song” exhibition is still on offer, this Bund-side Italian restaurant is also gearing up for a romantic traditional Chinese Valentine’s Day dinner.

Value for Money

At RMB60 a bowl, you can certainly do worse than Ramen Nagi. It’s not a life-affirming experience, but is good value and worth trying if you’re partial to those thick ramen noodles. 1/1

The five-course Casanova Couple Dinner Set (RMB688 for two) starts on a fresh note with slow-cooked sole with avocado, passion fruit, grapefruit salad in spring roll, followed by some homemade foie gras with onion sauce, pomegranate sauce in puff pastry for something more substantial.

Though their white asparagus black truffle cream soup and spaghetti with tiger crab, tomatoes and fresh basil may fill you up quickly, so do consider saving some room for what comes after. The main course is a Special Valentine Mix Plate, a real treat that includes braised 4 hours cattle rib and fried turbot, served with truffle mashed potatoes, asparagus mini carrots, tomatoes and strawberry sauce. Casanova also has an extensive wine list from which you can order a celebratory bottle for this special occasion.

A beautifully presented dessert – the heart-shaped velvet cake served with mint, blueberry and caramel – puts a perfect sweet ending to this Chinese Valentine’s Day dinner.

Mo’s

An Eatery for All on Yueyang Lu

By Tongfei Zhang

The Place Housed in a chic four-story villa next to Camel Sports Bar, Mo’s is a new entrant to Shanghai’s food scene, combining Spanish and Italian classics with a dose of steak for good measure. With a bar and lounge, comfy couches as well as a lush rooftop patio, it’s easy to see why this place is always packed.

The Food

In this weather, starting with a plate of salad is rarely a bad move. The fresh spinach salad (RMB68) proved we made the right choice. Here, nutritious and crisp baby spinach leaves mingle with feta cheese, roasted nuts, mushrooms and truffle vinaigrette, strengthened by juicy slices of mango – a tasty starter indeed.

Equally good are Mo’s other appetizers: gambas al ajillo (RMB88) – sautéed prawns with garlic and fresh chili – and a gorgeously melting pan-fried foie gras (RMB128).

As for the mains, there are a lot of choices and it’s clear that Mo’s aim is to leave no diner hungry with a range of burgers, sandwiches (RMB78-128), risotto (of course) and grilled meat too. Spaghetti ‘allo scoglio’ (seafood spaghetti, RMB118) sees slow-cooked marinara with shrimp, mussels, clams and a touch of lemon zest. Though a treat for the eyes, it was clear the spaghetti hadn’t absorbed much of the sauce’s flavor. Risotto de pescadors (seafood risotto, RMB168 for one; RMB268 for two) is served in a shallow iron pan topped with two carabinero prawns. Waiters consulted on whether we'd prefer our risotto rice softer or harder when we ordered, so chefs are willing to cater for a variety of palates.

Mo’s isn’t all about seafood, however. Grilled Australian bone-in rib-eye steak (RMB238,320g,) is a serious cut for hearty appetites.

Grain-fed for 300 days for extra marble, the steak is undeniably tender and nicely complemented with a classic black pepper sauce. Then again, we weren’t overly keen on the chewy strings of sinew running through certain parts – not necessarily the fault of the chef but rather the butcher. 2/3

The Vibe

The restaurant was fully booked on our first visit, and half booked on our second – not too bad for having only been open for a month.

Waiters are efficient and helpful, but it is slightly noisy when sharing 7 0 | A u g u s t 2 0 1 6 | www . t h at s mag s . c o m

Value for Money

Our wine-less dinner for three people came to a little over RMB900, but this is in the heart of former French Concession – you don’t need us to tell you that rent in this part of town is particularly gui. We appreciate the quality of the food they’re bringing, but it would be better it come in bigger portions. 0.5/1

MARC Restaurant & Club at Wanda Reign on the Bund

Interview with Michelin-starred French Chef Marc Meneau

O

ffering the ultimate luxury experience to its guests, the newly opened Wanda Reign on the Bund is a new destination for the most distinguished guests.

Located on the rooftop and helmed by legendary Michelin-starred chef Marc Meneau, MARC restaurant & club is one of the main highlights of the property’s dining venues.

With an exclusive 270-degree view of the Bund and the futuristic Pudong skyline, the stylish restaurant offers customized afternoon tea and a Michelin-starred fine dining experience. In the evening, it transforms into a terrace bar where patrons can sip classic cocktails while enjoying beats provided by world renowned DJs.

Marc Meneau, who hails from Burgundy, embraces both tradition and innovation in the culinary experience he has crafted for MARC restaurant & club. Creatively incorporating traditional techniques into his own contemporary cuisine, Meneau’s perfectly presented dishes are all about respecting and highlighting the original flavors of the ingredients while offering a healthy, wholesome approach to fine dining.

We met with Chef Meneau on the grand opening day of MARC restaurant and spoke to him about his first Shanghai restaurant.

Tell us about the concept of MARC at Wanda Reign on the Bund.

The concept lies in constant revolution. We get what guests need and listen to their feedback so they will be the ones who make

the concept. God gives us food and I want to make good use of it. We have to extract pleasure from the food – intellectual pleasure I mean, not guilty pleasure!

We heard your inspiration comes from the landscape and culture of your hometown, Burgundy. Are there any Shanghainese influences to the concept?

The products we find here are obviously not the same as they are in France because of the way they’re cultivated and the weather. I use products from here and relate them to my worldwide vision about the food. I’m reading a book about Shanghai history, and I quite like it, so yes I would definitely incorporate some Shanghai influences.

What is your cooking philosophy?

There are five main flavors: salty, sweet, sour, bitter and spicy. With these five flavors you can make thousands of recipes. And for every single dish, I have a philosophy whereby the components are arranged according to how they grow. Ingredients that grow underground are assembled at the bottom of the dish, topped by ingredients that grow above ground, and finished with ingredients found in high altitude spots at the very top. I believe that the best dishes highlight authenticity and flavor. Following the way of natural cooking, we never cook at over 60 degrees so we can keep all the taste inside.

How do you make sure the quality of the dishes served here are as good as they are at your restaurant in France?

We have a team of French chefs here and I fly over once a month to correct, guide and make sure no mistakes are made while I’m away. We also send local chefs on training courses to learn French cooking. Elegant and beautiful French cuisine is all about a blend of history and different cultures.

There are many French restaurants in Shanghai. How does MARC stand out from the competition?

I don’t know yet. My idea is not to stand out, but to be with others. I’ll leave it to the guests to decide.

Straight no Chaser

Reel to Reel

URVC Mastermind Gives Xintiandi a Dose of Cool

BY Andrew Chin

He stole the show with the runaway success of his playfully quirky bar, Taste Buds Cocktail Palace, but mixologist Daniel An is taking on a more serious tone at his newest outpost, a Catholic confession room-themed speakeasy called Shrine. That’s in United Valley on Changle Lu (by Shaanxi Lu) should you wish to confess your sins over a drink or three.

Change is also afoot at fellow speakeasy Barbershop, which has had a change of career to become Mr Newspaper. And they say print is dead! Inside, the cocktail action still persists, though the place is scheduled to undergo a refit to become an invite-only VIP club in the coming months.

Heyday captured the hearts of Shanghai’s jazz loving lounge lizards, and now owner Brian McKay has struck a more up-tempo beat with Shake, a 60s-themed ‘dinner theater’ venue. Expect Asian fusion dining and a cocktail menu crafted by mixologist Colin Tait.

Union Trading Company, a favorite bar of ours (and all of Asia’s, given they scooped a coveted spot in the 2016 Asia’s 50 Best Bars list) has finally launched a happy hour.

Up for grabs are a rotating selection of six classic cocktails (think daiquiris, negronis, old fashioneds) and selected bar food dishes from Austin Hu, including a signature burger, pulled pork grilled cheese, Sichuan pepper chicken tenders and more, all for RMB50 each. That runs from Sunday to Thursday, from 6-8pm. See you there.

Over at Three on the Bund, longtime Latin lounge bar and restaurant, Unico, will be taking a breather for the duration of August to renovate. They’ll be back with a vengeance

by September, however, and just in time to kick off their 4th anniversary celebrations.

Those ought to be raucous given the high octane partying this place usually gets up to.

s one of Shanghai’s first electronic producers, Dave K has been devoted to planting seeds for the scene to grow as the former music director at uDance Radio. Having already outgrown the space of his awardwinning Jing’an vinyl club URVC, which is located in a residential complex, Disco Dave has done it again with the creation of a new club: Reel to Reel.

Occupying the basement of Fuxing SOHO, a cavernous and largely soulless mall near Xintiandi, Reel to Reel can freely blast their impressive sound system to the max all night without the fear of waking less party-oriented neighbors.

Split into two rooms (the ‘Hip Room’ is devoted to hip hop, R&B and trap, while the ‘Groove Room’ spins techno and house), Reel to Reel is already a haven for local crews from URVC, including staples Rocky Ross and Andrew Bull, and also playing host to Shanghai favorites like Love Bang and ShanghaiPRIDE. Inside, the club is an audiophile’s dream.

A column made of cassettes and working reelto-reel machines adds to the colorful decora-

tion. Even the VIP booths are worked in within the space, sitting in the corners of each room with easy access to the action.

Not that Reel to Reel is a club for high rollers. Draft beers are available from RMB45-60, cocktails range from RMB60-75 and shots are available from RMB30-45. Currently, admission is typically RMB50 with one free drink, though club organizers have promised more international bookings starting at the end of August that may command a higher entry price.

With its commitment to underground sounds and the local scene (recently the club started a Thursday showcase for dance crews and R&B singers), Reel to Reel is another strong addition to the city’s club scene, and an affordable way to boogie into the night in Xintiandi.

Price: drinks and shots from RMB30-80, admission typically RMB50 with one free drink.

Revolucion Cocktail 2

A New Social Club for Jing’an

BY Virginia Werner

B

igger and better than ever, Revolucion’s second, significantly larger location, (which we will henceforth refer to as Revolucion 2), has arrived in Jing’an to the great delight of a community of bright-eyed expats looking to grab a drink (or three) without having to worry about the Yongkang 10pm curfew – all the more relevant given recent news that a sizable chunk of bars on the street may be closing...

Like Revolucion 1.0, parent company The Urban Bar has stuck with the tropical Cuban theme, with parrots adorning the walls and brightly colored grates covering the ceiling.

A red neon sign on the wall reads, “Hell is empty and all the devils are here!” Thanks for the heads up.

This area of Jing’an isn’t known for its drinking culture, but nevertheless business is booming. The bar was packed during our visit and we struggled to find a seat. When we did find one at the bar, we were pleased to discover embedded USB ports that you can plug your cable directly into and charge your phone. Now that’s just next level considerate.

The Revolucion Cocktail (RMB80) comes in a funky cup with rum, rosemary, apple, passion fruit and sugar. You know if ‘sugar’ is an actual listed ingredient then it’s going to be pretty damn sweet, and this candylike libation was no exception.

Less sweet is the G&G (RMB70), made with gin, grapefruit syrup and tonic. It's both refreshing and easy on the eyes, and we couldn’t taste a lot of alcohol in it, which might be a good or bad thing depending on how you look at it.

The Garden Mule (RMB70) sees gin, mint, Angostura bitters, sugar syrup, lime juice and ginger beer all served in a cute little flowerpot.

This was by far our favorite of the night – delicious, not too sweet, and with a little kick of spice.

Overall, we’re fans of this devilishly hip watering hole, which succeeds in transporting the same good-time Cuban vibes of the Yongkang Lu original to Jing’an. We’re looking forward to seeing what the new menu brings to the table, but will be staying away from the sweeter offerings.

Budweiser Recommends

Pair American-style Ale with Bold Flavors at Han She Restaurant

A

pparently Budweiser isn’t just a favorite accompaniment to Western food, the classic American-style ale is taking over Chinese eateries as well. Han She (汉舍), the traditional high-end Chinese restaurant specializing in both Sichuan and local Shanghainese cuisine is a good example. Spread across the entire floor, the Shanghai-based restaurant boasts six branches all over the country, with the Pudong branch the biggest one with eight years history.

Budweiser beers on sale here include classic Budweiser (RMB15/500ml), Budweiser Draft (RMB16/580ml) and Budweiser Supreme (RMB22/580ml) where guests get to choose iced or not. Order a couple of cold dishes such as roasted peanuts with dried little fish or Sichuan-style chili shrimp balls, or strong flavored black pepper beef rib with codfish to pair with them. The cool and mild flavor of Budweiser is the perfect accompaniment to refresh your palate between bites!

Shifting Dynamics

Kenneth Jarrett, President of the American Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai

“I

t was more just for the adventure,” Kenneth Jarrett says of his first visit to the Mainland back in 1979 as an English teacher at the Shanghai Foreign Language Institute. The opportunity came almost immediately after the relations of China and the US have normalized, and he jumped on the first chance to visit a place that he’d eventually spend two decades of his life in.

After returning back to his home country, Jarrett joined the US State Department in 1982. For the next 26 years, he spent time in Singapore, Hong Kong, Beijing and Chengdu before serving as the US Consul General of Shanghai from 2005-2008. Having been in his position as the president of the American Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai since 2013, the seasoned diplomat and expert in US-China relations talks about what the world’s two largest economic powers can do to find new ways to promote growth in the global economy with other G20 nations’ leaders in the upcoming summit, as well as how outcome of the US Presidential Elections will affect the relations between the two nations.

You served as the US Consul General in Shanghai (2005-08) and have been in your current role as the President of AmCham since 2013. How has US-China relations changed in the past decade?

The power relationship between the two countries has shifted.

Seminal events that have taken place – the financial crisis, the war of terrorism and the disintegration of the Middle East – essentially defines the last decade. Then as a backdrop, you have China’s incredible economic growth and development. It’s growing in confidence and assertiveness and has become a major economic power and now wants to have the political power that comes with that. This is all happening when the US has had a couple of blows to its confidence in terms of its role as a financial giant, which was shattered after the financial crisis, in addition to the challenges it faced in Iraq and

In terms of what the two governments are talking about (regional security, health, climate change, global law and order, etc.), I’d say that hasn’t changed so much, but it’s much deeper and broader than before. Collaborations in environmental issues are a much bigger component than 10 years ago. The main change to the relationship is the power dynamic – China no longer feels it is a weaker partner to the United States.

In your latest President’s Note addressed to AmCham members, you wrote, “US-China relations has many dimensions.”

Can you further explain this statement?

What I meant by that is, for many people, if President Obama and President Xi Jinping are seen having a meeting with one another, that’s US-China relations. That’s one component of it, but my main point is that the elite political interaction isn’t the only thing that defines the bilateral relationship and there are equally important dimensions such as the business relationship and the flow of students in both directions. China has over 300,000 students in the US; over the long term, it does a lot to shape perceptions and serves as a ballast to the relationship.

G20

According to the 2016 China Business Report released by AmCham, revenue growth and investment levels have been slower than past years. Do you think this will continue or is the end of the slump in sight?

I think China’s GDP and growth rate will continue to slow down.

That’s the trend we’re looking at – the new normal. For both foreign and local companies, the efficient allocation of resources is now more important. You have to be as mindful of your margins as your market share. When the economy was growing very quickly (a few years ago), everyone’s market shares were expanding quickly and you didn’t have to be as rigorous in how you run your business, whereas in the current climate, it’s really about being smart with managing the margins.

The level of optimism among American companies is a combination of a number of things: China’s slowing GDP, growing competition from Chinese companies and restrictions and policies depending on the industry you’re in. But the level of optimism is still at 80 to 81 percent so the majority is still optimistic, but people are changing

“The main change to the relationship is the power dynamic – China no longer feels it is a weaker partner to the United States” their expectations on what this market will be able to deliver.

“Toward an Innovative, Invigorated, Interconnected and Inclusive World Economy” is the theme of the 2016 G20 Summit.

In your opinion, how should the two largest economic powers work together to lead by example and find new potential for economic growth?

I think there’s a lot of promoting the idea or the rhetoric of it. There’s plenty of discussion and talk, but global economic growth still isn’t picking up and will continue to slow down in 2016. The question then becomes: What can the larger economies still do? One of the things that China could do is to reduce some of the market access barriers for foreign companies, such as challenges in registration in healthcare, reducing restrictions in financial services, etc. The same (decreasing restrictions) goes for other G20 nations, in order to facilitate more integrated and inclusive growth [for the global economy].

At the moment, there are active ongoing discussions between the US and China for a bilateral investment treaty (BIT). It’s different from a free trade agreement (like what Australia recently signed with China) because it’s limited, but it does touch on market access. If the two governments can resolve this, that would be an important interim step to a free trade agreement.

At the moment, the US is focusing on the TPP (Trans-Pacific Partnership), which still has to go through the US Congress for approval and it’s uncertain what would happen before the end of the Obama administration.

While China’s currently not part of the TPP, many countries have expressed openness to having China participate in the future. The more likely sequence is first a BIT, then TPP takes effect and China joins after a couple of years.

On the US presidential elections, how would a Clinton or Trump presidency affect US-China relations?

Well, hopefully not too much. First I’d like to make the point that, whether in China or in the States, US-China relations have survived many leadership transitions on both sides. The US has moved from having a Republican to a Democrat [in the White House], to having new presidents where China was initially really worried about their attitude, but by the time they left office, they were very happy with them.

So is there something different about this campaign? The rhetoric is a bit sharper, but again, it’s campaign rhetoric. What’s more concerning is that there is a strong anti-global trade sentiment in the US. Whether or not this will translate to a tougher position on China, regardless of who’s in the White House, [is still unknown]. As mentioned previously, the backdrop of the relationship and the shifting power dynamic may translate to some rough going in the future of US-China relations, but only part of that would be related to the individual candidate.

The Facilitator Role

Richard Ling, Board Member of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai

“What Canada really needs help with in terms of equity injection is in the SME sector”

to gain connections with other members and local resources.

A

lawyer by trade, Richard Ling left his birthplace of Hong Kong to pursue his bachelor’s degree at University of Waterloo, and later graduated from McGill law school and was one of the first few French- and English-speaking lawyers of Asian descent.

With four decades of experience in his field, Ling arrived in Shanghai in 2013 for a posting at Deloitte, and is the legal advisor and a board member of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai. We speak to him about the trade relationship between the two countries, and the role that Canada should assume between nations with stronger economic and political power.

How would you describe the current state of Canada-China relations?

It’s an interesting question. Former Prime Minister Stephen Harper saw Canada as a staunch ally to the US, and therefore, so Canada had followed the same diplomatic approach as our neighbor during his time in office. Now in Justin Trudeau’s new administration, many are hoping that he’d follow in the footsteps of his father Pierre Elliot Trudeau (whose administration was among the first Western countries to officially recognized the People’s Republic of China in 1970), and see Canada as a ‘facilitator’ between the powers. By and large, Canada is a non-adversarial nation and how [Trudeau Jr.] will steer his foreign policy remains to be seen.

In what ways can Canada and China work more closely together to facilitate more trade?

Canadian corporations are relatively smaller compared to companies from the US or other G20 nations. What Canada really needs help with in terms of equity injection is in the SME (small and medium enterprises) sector. Unfortunately, they don’t always receive enough attention from high-level officials. In the last 20 or 30 years that I’ve been in the business, what I’ve noticed is that SMEs (from both countries) are the ones that need the most help.

An organization like CanCham can serve as a facilitator, sharing our knowledge with incoming Canadian companies and introducing them to their peers through our network. It’s a good forum for SMEs 8 2 | A U G U S T 2 0 1 6 | w w w . t h ats m ags . c o m

For Canadian SMEs who want to do well in China, what should they focus on and what should they be aware of? What about for Chinese SMEs who want to succeed in Canada?

Canadian companies have to stay away from the ‘Marco Polo mentality,’ where people think that gold is everywhere in China and there’s a share of it for everyone. SMEs have to spend time to understand China, to understand the systems here and the geographical differences between different regions, provinces and cities within the country. There’s higher potential for those in the education and healthcare industries to succeed here, as these are areas that China wants to further develop.

For Chinese SMEs, I think Canada can allow them to use it as a training ground for entering larger markets such as the US. At the end of the day, the market is in the US; Canada is simply too small. The infrastructure and systems between the two countries (US and Canada) are similar, and many companies have operated successfully this way. www.cancham.asia

A Cultural Hub in Making

Hangzhou-based Artist Qian Jiahua Talks about the City that Inspires Her Work

Born in Shanghai, Qian Jiahua is an up and coming contemporary artist who has lived in Hangzhou since high school and is in no hurry to return her hometown. The China Academy of Art graduate, which is the top ranking and oldest art school in China, tells That’s Shanghai why she’s destined to be in Hangzhou.

Why did you stay in Hangzhou instead of coming back to Shanghai after graduation?

It was due to various reasons but mostly because I’ve already been living here for about nine years since high school and have already gotten used to living in the suburb area of Hangzhou, where my college is located and also where many of my classmates call home. Besides, it’s not far from Shanghai, thanks to the high-speed train. So I thought, why not stay here a bit longer?

What do you think about Hangzhou after living here for nine years?

Though I don’t visit the Old Town much, I do find that people here understand the merits of enjoying life. Compared to Shanghai, Hangzhou has a much slower pace and is less stressful to live in.

My mother asked a fortuneteller to read my fortune and he suggested that I should incorporate more ‘water’ in my life (of the Chinese five elements: metal, wood, water, fire and earth). I guess there’s plenty of that in Hangzhou (because of its surrounding lakes).

After graduation, I moved to the Binjiang area, which locals refer to as the ‘new district.’ I used to have a flat with a view of Qiantang Lake, which was really nice. But since that district is planned for industrial use, more factories, chemical plants and waste incinerators have been built.

Subsequently, I decided to move to the other side of the lake three years later as the neighborhood had become less friendly for living.

Hangzhou is known for its rich cultural history and scenic views. Does it inspire your work as a contemporary artist in any way?

I think traditional art forms like calligraphy

are definitely well preserved and appreciated here. Contemporary art, however, has yet to become mainstream form of expression and is only being exhibited in a few galleries.

Having said that, I think it’s fortunate that we have so many brilliant and persistent artists like Zhang Peili, who is known as the father of Chinese video art. The creative inspiration and atmosphere is unparalleled.

“Our generation is blessed with more opportunities since the market for contemporary art is growing”

Your first solo exhibition at Shanghai Gallery of Art was held shortly you graduated. What was that experience like?

I must say that I was lucky to be recommended by my professor and had a chance to present my works at SGA. I think our generation is blessed with more opportunities since the market for contemporary art is starting to grow. Title-wise, I didn’t think much about it, really.

Your art pieces are simple, yet they show infinite possibilities. Why do you prefer to use basic geometry elements to express yourself?

Though I graduated from a prestigious school, I don’t find myself interested in academism. It seems to me that traditional artists tend to draw inspiration from their mundane life to show off their skills, which confuses the audience because it’s not what art is about. So I attempt to explore from the rudimental composition of art – point, line and

plane – to structural language and establish something from there. This could be a much more challenging approach, but I’ll keep searching with references from experienced artists.

With regards to the upcoming G20 Summit in September, do you see or have you experienced any changes in Hangzhou?

Yes. Housing prices have gone up in more affluent neighborhoods, including my compound, and most landlords prefer to sell their houses instead of renting. Regulations like all public swimming pools will be closed before and during the meeting period and ‘no ice cream eating while driving’ strike us as odd. I think they will soon be increasing different security measures as well. I also heard a rumor that police officers would replace all cab drivers during G20 summit for safety concerns. I don’t know if I’ll go out during that time, or I might just take a short holiday and visit Shanghai.

HangZhou

T

he capital of Zhejiang province, Hangzhou is recognized for its magnificent scenery, which has inspired many an influential poet and artist. In fact, when Marco Polo passed through at the end of the 13th century, he is said to have proclaimed the area to be ‘Heaven on Earth.’

The West Lake is the city’s biggest attraction. Rumored to have been created during a quarrel over a jewel between a jade phoenix and golden dragon, the jewel was dropped to earth, landing where West Lake now lies. The lake, however, is not the only natural vista worth a visit. Mountains surrounding the water offer exceptional hiking and camping options, while the longjing (dragon well) tea plantation offers visitors a chance to pick their own leaves. Within the city center, the National Tea Museum and National Silk Museum offer historical insight into the region’s products.

For shopping and souvenirs, such as silk, pay a visit to Qinghefang Old Street. Wellpreserved old buildings line the street, housing a variety of shops and restaurants featuring local favorites, like the must-try ‘beggar’s chicken.’

West Lake

Lingyin Temple

As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the West Lake is known for having influenced poets and painters throughout Chinese history. Studded with temples, pagodas and gardens, this freshwater lake is roughly 6.5 square kilometers in size. There are 10 well-known scenic spots along the lake, each marked by an epithet written in calligraphy.

Visitors can go for a boat ride, as well as cycle or walk the lake’s circumference. Not to be missed is the Impression West Lake Show, which consists of five acts featuring dance, music and light performances.

Located on the northwest side of West Lake, Lingyin Temple is one of the 10 most notable Buddhist temples in China. Also known as the Temple of Soul’s Retreat, it can be traced back to the Eastern Jin dynasty (317-420 AD). Containing an important collection of Buddhist literature, it is protected as a research center of Buddhist culture.

At its largest, it was comprised of nine buildings, 18 pavilions, 77 palaces and halls with more than 1,300 rooms providing accommodation for nearly 3,000 monks.

Xixi National Wetland Park

Thousand Island lake

Crossed with six main watercourses, this natural wetland is comprised of 2,800 acres and is the first and one of the only wetland parks in China to combine urban life, farming and culture. The original site of Chinese South Opera, it is a typical water village that features silkworm feeding and silk production. Every year one of the most recognized traditional dragon boat contests is held here.

This man-made lake is dotted with 1,078 large islands, plus a few thousand smaller ones. It is recognized for its crystal clear water, which covers an area of 573 square meters and is 100 times larger than the West Lake. The surrounding forest covers about 90 percent of the area and is home to over 1,800 varieties of plants and roughly 2,100 wild animals.

Swisse

The Australian Nutrition Brand Makes Its China Debut Swisse, a world leading Australian nutrition brand, aims to help people celebrate life every day. From the outset, their mission has been embedded in the Swisse DNA – a dream to make people all over the world healthier and happier.

For over 40 years, Swisse has been promoting healthy lifestyles across Australia, and now, it is excited to announce its launch into China. Swisse felt it important to choose a location and theme that embodied their mission. In the end, they chose to host their launch on July 15 at The Living Room by Octave whose space exemplifies the balance and harmony that Swisse strive to promote between East and West.

Unlike typical launches, Swisse orchestrated a wellness morning to demonstrate what living a healthy life means to them. The day started with a relaxing yoga class followed by a discussion from yoga professionals Muqi-Miya, Ashley Hart and Fela Adebiyi.

Later that evening, Swisse held a China launch ceremony during which Oscar winner Nicole Kidman made an appearance as one of their most well-known brand ambassadors. She expressed, “All of us [brand ambassadors] truly believe that health represents fashion and lifestyle, and encourages people to pursue a healthier and happier life.

Finally today, I am happy to be here now that Swisse has officially launched its brand in China.”

Swisse also successfully launched its WeChat account (ID: Swissechina) and sina weibo (ID: Swisse). They will no doubt be successful in its mission to make millions of people around the world healthier as it aims to promote its concept “Live Healthy, Be Happy” in China. > To learn more about Swisse in China and their products visit www.swisse.com/cn.

The Woolmark Company Say Hello to Machine Washable Wool

Founded in 1937, The Woolmark Company is the global authority on Merino wool textiles and clothing, serving both producers and consumers as a trusted international symbol of quality assurance. When you see the Woolmark sign on an item of clothing, you can be sure it matches the strict quality requirements that the organization sets out and is made of 100 percent new wool.

While most people know wool garments are high quality, the perception persists that it’s hard to care for – namely that they’ll shrink to pint-sized proportions in your washing machine. However, The Woolmark Company is at the forefront of innovation on this one, setting out cutting-edge technological standards for machine washable wool in the new Apparel Care Program.

142 号 , 近南京西路

Jeff Ma, Executive Marketing Vice President, Greater China & Developing Markets Asia, and Country Manager describes the program as an “effortless and natural way to enjoy wool products that will change the impression that wool products are tricky to care for,” adding that the company aims for more clothing brands to join the collaboration in future.

Senator Saloon Senator Saloon has the largest selection of Bourbon and Rye in Shanghai. Cocktails are carefully crafted. The atmosphere is intimate with velvet flock wallpapers and artisan tin ceilings. Popular bar snacks include Mac and Cheese, Pork Belly Sliders, and Chicken Pot Pie. 98 Wuyuan Lu, by

We all know there’s nothing worse than having your favorite woolen scarf or sweater come out of the machine shrunken or felted, something that Gary Cai, The Woolmark Company’s Technical Services Manager has made his mission to eliminate. “Wool products featuring the PURE NEW WOOL trademark ensure quality, durability, color control and easy care,” he explained. “All washing machines accredited by the Woolmark Company have gone through strict product testing and are guaranteed to save customers from wool felting and discoloration problems.”

So next time you see The Woolmark Company’s washable wool trademark, you can buy with confidence that your garment will stay as good as the day you bought it for years to come. There’s certainly nothing wooly about that. (www.woolmark.com)

Mandarin NOW This centrally located Mandarin education center focuses on practical Chinese with a focus on real-world situations and realistic usage. Students can apply what they learn in class to their life and work from the very first lesson. They teach in Chinese, using English only when absolutely necessary. They measure progress and use the results to provide feedback to students and test students’ knowledge at regular milestones and compare this with hours spent in class and the teaching methods used. This allows students to benchmark their progress and also allows us to identify learning points that may need increased focus.

The candidate: • Confident teacher ideally with experience teaching both adults and children • Will be trained on the Seatton curriculum • Will be responsible for delivering Seatton Etiquette and Style classes • Salary negotiable depending on experience • Both full-time and part-time positions

e smashed not just the Chinese, but the Asian transfer record this month with the purchase of Brazilian Givanildo Vieira de Sousa, AKA Hulk, for over RMB400 million. (No prizes for how he earned his nickname). From what I have seen of him he is quick, very strong and his left foot rockets are probably the most powerful shots I have ever seen.

His goal-scoring record was excellent at Porto and Zenit St Petersburg, not to mention with the Brazil national team – which is nice experience to have under your belt!

There is no reason he cannot carry it on here in China, so we’d be expecting him to score 20-plus goals a season in the Super League, and pushing us to greater things in the cups.

He didn’t take much time opening his account, scoring just nine minutes into his debut against Henan. Unfortunately, he only lasted 20 minutes before picking up a knock, and has been out injured since. But he’ll be back soon. If you look at that front line of Hulk, Elkeson, Conca and Wu Lei – it is a formidable quartet. If all of them are fit there are not many teams who could live with us.

quarter-final against Jeonbuk of Korea on the horizon. They are a good side, but there is no doubt we have a chance with the talent we have at our disposal.

The first leg is at home on the 23rd of this month, so we need to make sure we get a good result – a victory and a clean sheet – and hopefully go back to Korea and finish the job. We won’t be taking them lightly, but we will do our best to make the semi-final.

Demba Derby Horror Break

The Hongkou Stadium served up a cracking atmosphere for the Shanghai Derby as always. The game itself didn’t really come to life until Wu Lei’s second half goal for us, but then the tempo got going. It looked like we were in control but we switched off defensively, and Shenhua ended up winning 2-1 with a last-minute penalty (cynics could argue we should have pulled Moreno down before he got in the box…)

Everybody at both clubs feel terrible for Demba, who was on a great run of form, and we all wish him a speedy recovery. Shenhua coach Gregorio Manzano expressed concerns it might be a career-ending injury, but Demba has announced his intention work his way back. Apparently his first words after waking up in hospital were ‘Did we win?’ which shows you the measure of the man. With that spirit, who wouldn't back his return?

It is a good buy, but also a very, very expensive purchase – and a price tag like that comes with a lot of expectation. We’re betting on the fact those bulging green shoulders can take the burden and inspire us to silverware in the next year or two.

Hopefully he can make an instant impression in the AFC Champions League, with a

Sadly, the game was overshadowed by a horrific injury to current CSL top scorer Demba Ba. It was a complete accident; Ba and Sun Xiang were running side-by-side focusing on the ball as they bumped into each other.

Unfortunately, Demba’s leg was planted into the ground as he was twisting, and the clash saw his leg snap in two.
