Wang Haiyang draws an image of himself and the story beyond that figure. His recent Boys series, of 30 pieces, recalls his formative experiences.
Isabel Crook went to see the ballet The Red Detachment of Women last month, just three days after celebrating her 92nd birthday in Beijing.

There are many reasons to love festive seasons in China, but my favorite is the way people party. On the weekend before Christmas, I hosted an office party at my home, and it took two days' work - from planning to cleanup.
