Lost in Beijing
2008-02-24 01:28:00 Lost in Beijing, is a controversial film made in 2006 by Chinese director Li Yu, which is now banned in China. The director and producer, Fang Li, have also been prohibited from film-making for two years.The movie, which is known as Apple in China, is the director's third feature after Fish and Elephant (2001), a lesbian romance story between a Beijing Zoo elephant keeper and a fashion designer and Dam Street (2005), a gritty social drama, set in a small town, and focusing on the relationship of a socially-ostracized woman and a 10-year-old boy.The plot of Lost in Beijing, as the title suggests, sees the main characters, none of them from the city, struggling to adapt to the new social and economic realities in the capital. The storyline of the sexually-explicit movie supposedly came to the director while she was working as a news anchor and involves the twisted relationships of a pair of contrasting husband and wife couples. Young, poor migrant couple Liu Pingguo, played by Fan Bi...

China Post
2007-04-07 09:49:00 ????????Befitting the Middle Kingdom, China Post has a long history.According to its English-language site, archeological records argue that inscriptions dating from the Yin-Shang Dynasty (14th-11th centuries B.C.) point to the existence of ?communication activities? similar to postal delivery.In the Zhou Dynasty, there were two methods of communication: drum and fire and, second, postal delivery by carriage or on foot. For the second type, delivery was categorized into ?routine? and ?emergency.?The post office as we know it today however was formally set up during the Qing Dynasty.Going back a bit, the "Post Delivery Law" of the Qin Dynasty is believed to be the first attempt at unifying postal service. It had various functions: delivery of government documents and edicts; military instruction; and so on. In order to accomplish this, road construction became a priority.Modern EraWhen China was forced to open up to the world in 1840, as a result of the Opium War, there was of course...
