This film (Captive of Love, 2000-one of the first Chinese science fiction films of the 1990s) proves the proverb: power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely, for the leader and those around him. This is a movie, which tests the boundaries of power, greed, family and honor.

Hi, I would like to remove my information from your database that I am no longer to use this site this time with my requested. Thank you. Sorry for an inconvience.

I will be spending 2 weeks in Zhongdian/Shangri-La to explore and photograph. Is it possible to hire a car so that I can explore on my own, if not do you have any recommendations for hiring an english speaking driver that would not mind getting up early and staying out late to allow me to capture the best light.

Thanks--Ed

There's lots of big things happening this year at the ROO BAR in Chengdu, China

The bar itself has been remodelled, so we now have FOSTER'S Lager on tap. This keeps it chilled at 2 degrees celsius for your drinking pleasure. Of course, it is both reasonably & competitively priced. Foster's Lager is the international flagship brand for the Foster's group.

This article about "the woman whose job is to convince Beijingers that common sights here — spitting, swearing, belching and cutting in line — are no way to welcome the world." has been linked in a few places that I've seen.  There are a few pretty funny quotes in it:

There is no guarantee Chinese spectators will applaud the performances of home-country athletes who don't win gold, he said. 

... Instruction in "civilized spitting" and distribution of millions of paper spit bags.

... Beijing students, already pressed to complete their studies, must take courses in Olympic knowledge.

WOCCA has been busy lately assisting some local folk in Chengdu ...

The Chengdu Welfare Fund for the Disabled (CWFD) was founded in 1987. It is an independent, non-profit-making, charitable organization approved by the Chinese Government.

The purpose of CWFD is to advocate humanitarianism, to advance the cause for disabled people, to maintain the legal rights of the disabled by ensuring the equal participation of people with disabilities in social life thus enabling them to share in the fruits of social and cultural progress, and to work for the disabled in a whole-hearted way.
