In just 30 years studying abroad has become commonplace for Chinese
With thousands of Chinese students planning to study at foreign universities this year, the one big question is: are they sufficiently prepared? The answer is probably not.
I didn't realize until recently that a third of my young colleagues are haigui (students returned from overseas). I found that most had their expenses covered by their parents. Annual spending? Between $40,000 and $100,000.
'If China keeps adding 6,000 new screens each year, in five to eight years China's film industry will reach 150-200 billion yuan in box-office revenue," says Yu Dong, founder and president of Bona Pictures, one of the country's major film studios.
My initial involvement with China's film industry was in 2001 when I started a serious endeavor to review new releases. Since then my relationship with the booming business has been tangential at the most accurate, offering me a ringside seat that combines the perspectives of the appreciative cheerleader and the cool-headed observer.
The recent release of Song of the Phoenix, a long delayed art movie, in mainstream theaters in China has turned into a phenomenal social event. It is a two-year-old swan song by the late film director Wu Tianming, dubbed the Godfather of the Fifth Generation by the Chinese press.
I would like to convey to the authorities of China Daily my sincere appreciation for these 35 years of tireless work in terms of dissemination of news of China toward the international community; without this effort it would have been much more difficult to understand the diverse and special processes that have taken place in this great country in recent decades.
For over 35 years China Daily has been a most valuable source of information on China and is highly appreciated by its readership. It has contributed in creating an understanding of China and its trajectory of becoming a major global responsible power. Hearty congratulations!"
China Daily began publishing two years after the United States and China established diplomatic relations on January 1, 1979. Working with Vice-Premier Deng Xiaoping to normalize the US-China relationship was one of the most significant diplomatic achievements of my political career, and it is with great pride that I have watched this relationship grow stronger.
In the summer of 1994 Su Mang rode a bicycle half-way across the city looking for the office of a magazine in a hutong in the Xidan area of Beijing.
For the past 35 years the Chinese fashion has gone through a transformation that stands as vivid testimony that the way we look and the way we dress are as pertinent as reminders of where we have come from as the key dates in a history book.
