A few years ago, taking the train to Shanhaiguan, I noticed it was going on to Changchun, a city I knew very little about. In fact, there seemed little incentive for me to go to the Northeast because I had the preconception that it was all declining heavy industry. I had no idea of its physical or cultural diversity and its great tourism potential. Nor did I appreciate the efforts being made to revitalise the area and move to a modern economy. Recent visits, although brief, have shown me there is a lot to see and to experience. A longer return visit features in my future plans.

| Legend and history alike have held women accountable for the problems of men, from Helen of Troy, to Joan of Arc, and more recently, an infamous intern that brought a US president to his knees - almost. Chinese women have also shared similar tales of woe – their stunning looks did not prevent the country’s traditional ‘four beauties’, Xi Shi, Diao Chan, Yang Yuhuan and Wang Zhaojun from meeting a tragic end. The beautiful and courageous Pan Jinlian, from the Chinese classical novel Outlaws of the Marsh, was soaked in spittle for carrying on with the hero Wu Song and rich playboy Xi Menqing. However, in today’s China, people’s attitudes towards women have changed dramatically from those of the past. Whether beautiful or plain looking, most women these days have much more control over their lives. |

| Gu Changwei’s "Peacock," has been hailed by many critics as "an epic depicting the inner world of the Chinese." Local media reported that Beijing-based writer Wang Shuo described the renowned cinematographer’s directorial debut "Peacock" as "the swan song of the Fifth Generation" after he watched it at a close-door test screening early this year. Tian Zhuangzhuang, a Fifth Generation director, says "Peacock" is one of the two best movies of 2004, with Lu Chuans "Kekexili: Mountain Patrol." And now it is reported that Gu, with a silver bear award in hand, is targeting at next year’s Academy Awards. |

| Thanks to large-scale reafforestation measures beginning in the 1980s, Baiquan County, east of Heilongjiangs Qiqihar city, has become a new-found paradise for wildlife. The growth of verdant woods at Baiquan has attracted many animals, such as deer, foxes and wolves. Wang Shuqing, Secretary of the CPCs county committee, who has conducted many years of research on ecologically sustainable forestry, has given strict instructions: No disturbing or hunting of wild animals! The 100 or so shika deer at the Guofu Forestry Centre are therefore well protected. The 300+ foxes living in the county have likewise been declared off limits to human interference. |

| Today we were going to visit Basha, a Miao ethnic group village on the Rongjiang - Congjiang Road in southwest Chinas Guizhou province. It was the most mysterious place on our itinerary, only a few kilometres from Congjiang county, but very different from other Miao villages in this area. |

| This piece is little more than a junior middle school essay - hardly the sort of material we need if we ever wish to launch Chinaweek in America.
You will find just about as much red as there is black, and I really wonder whether we should not start paying according to quality of work submitted. |

| A land locked state three times the size of France bordered by Russia to the north and China to the south, Mongolia is far away from moderating maritime influences. After a short, pleasant summer, when the temperature can go up to 30 degrees,1 the long winter can produce January temperatures below 40 in the capital Ulan Bator2. This is much colder than would be expected for a latitude of latitude of 47 degrees North. A major factor in this is the wind which, when it blows from the north, can quickly lower temperatures. |
