Chinese reporter: why I quit being a journalist
This too is a thread from Xici, and in it a reporter talks about the various things that he/she has seen or done in a ten year career as a journalist in China. 说不清我为什么要告别记者生涯，尽管在几年前我已厌倦了这份工作，但真正咬牙下定决心离开，还是年初的事。我揣着记者证，我的社会身份是“记者”，可是这些年来我何尝有机会做过真正的记者？两千多年前太史公秉笔直书不讳君恶，我们今天都做不到。不能真实地记录，不能自由地表达，我还算什么记者？无非是为稻粱谋而已！这样的“记者”生涯，为什么不向它说再见？ [rough trans: I left this work … Continue reading

China: we only hear what we want to hear
美国侨报：世界应无恙，当惊中国殊——百度新闻搜索 via kwout I was looking at this Baidu news page, scanning through some of the headlines. You notice that most of them are about how impressed the world is with the Olympics, with some obligatory fellow-feeling from the overseas … Continue reading
So this is how we talk about Tiananmen Square
I was just reading through a blog post from the Phoenix TV reporter Lvqiu Luwei (闾丘露薇) writes about the changes that occurred in Beijing as a result of the Olympics. She hopes that the changes, whether it be better signs … Continue reading
Is this really “Smart” Shanghai?
So I subscribe to Shanghaiist events and i got this newsletter from SmartShanghai.com and this is what the first paragraph said: Hey Shanghai! Check yo’ delf! So many clubs opening in Shanghai I can’t even keep track of them all. … Continue reading
