Media (Alex Fuller-Wisner)

Peoplepeople.com (China's Facebook)


So, social media in China.  If they were on Facebook, like the rest of the world (except Iran, Pakistan, Vietnam, and Syria), this would be easy.  We'd just log onto our own accounts and whip out our list of a million new friend requests from the land of the Han.  But the Great Firewall is holding back that flood.  Right now, I'm thinking that's a good thing.

Character Amnesia 提笔忘字





When I and my two research assistants/camermen set out to Beijing and Xi'an to film our documentary, Brush Up!, we knew very little about our topic.  Like the rest of the world, we had been drawn to the issue of character amnesia a year ago (Summer 2010) when a series of articles appeared in major Chinese and English newspapers.

Being a Kid in Mao's Country (CHN210)




The following is a sampling of Mao era children's literature translated for the first time in English by Centre College's Intermediate Chinese students.  These stories, songs, slogans, and articles give a glimpse of what it would have been like to be a child at a time when ideology was mandated over learning, and labor over play.

总结:星期三學生都求老師推遲考試到下個星期一。老師有一點懷疑, 可是學生告訴我星期五他們都有挺多的考試,加上另外一個檢測不行。好吧,他們說服我了。所以,我們要拖延一下,下個星期一才做第一個考試。那, 這樣這個星期五要做什么?我们也許復習,聊天儿,看看電影什么的。
